Esxi in vcenter integration?

Hello!

We have a valid license of VI3 with 20 cpu lic, free lic on the vcenter, 12 cpu server, but we can't add a free esxi Server (with the license free download) in our vcenter. There is a breach of licence. ??

We need to generate a file license or what can we do?

Tom

You cannot add ESXi for VC with the license for free download.  The free license is to make it work as a stand-alone server.  If you have 12 free CPU and want to use all the features then add nothing and leave the ESXi to use one of the free licenses

  • Want to take the certification VCP6-VTC, but I finished the 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5

    Hello

    2 years ago I had the training for 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5 - I wonder if that would satisfy the requirement and allows me to pass the exam VCP6-VTC?  Or should I stick with the VTC VCDP5 only?

    Have you taken after school.

    5.5 vSphere install, configure and manage.

    If so, please attend vSphere: what's new [5.5 to 6.0]

    It is a 2 day course that will allow you to take the exam VCP6-VTC.

  • Cannot add 6 ESXi to vCenter

    Hello

    I hope someone can help, I'll through in circles!

    I am using ESXi for years, but always as unique hosts. Recently, I obtained a license for vCenter 6 essential elements and put on the creation of a laboratory.


    I have two ESXi hosts, a Mac Mini (192.168.1.0/24) and a Dell PowerEdge (192.168.10.0/24), the two v6 ESXi running. vCenter v6 is running on a virtual computer on the Dell Poweredge server and works. Can be connect/license/administer etc. Also, I added successfully to the Mac Mini to the new data center.


    However, I can't add the Dell Poweredge server. Whenever I pass by the host process add I get the following:


    "Unable to contact the specified host (hostname.domain.local). "The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond"


    Also, when I have RDP on the vCenter virtual hosting machine I ping the server Poweredge ESXi by IP, host name and the FULL domain name, but I can not connect to it via vSphere Client. However, if I use my laptop (192.168.1.0/24 range GOLD 192.168.10.0/24) I can correctly connect the Poweredge ESXi server.


    Can I add a host ESXi, vCenter vCenter is running on this host?


    Any help would be appreciated!


    Adam

    Can I add a host ESXi, vCenter vCenter is running on this host?

    Yes, you can, but you must ensure that the appropriate network ports are open between ESXi and vCenter. VCenter Server both the ESXi (to PowerEdge) are running on the same subnet?

  • The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

    Dear team,

    You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

    The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

    concerning

    Mr. VMware

    Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

  • ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

    Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

    The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

    Nice - Thanks for posting.

    I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

    So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

    By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

    Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

    It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

    For this I have

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

    in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

    Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

  • Manage ESXi w / vCenter (Virtual Center) / what the purchase price? Want to just RUN. Nothing else possible?

    Hey guys... have to turn to the forums for an answer on this one. I got two different answers on the question of whether or not you can manage ESXi with vCenter. All I want to do is be able to handle my ESXi hosts through vCenter instead of shooting 8 Windows virtual infrastructure, it worked fine when I had 3 or 4 guests and was just testing how to be ESXi, now my infrastructure expands, in my view, it would be a good step.

    I didn't need Vmotion (first cannot afford it in the budget!) Secondly, we must other features that has the BASIC pack).

    1. first of all answer directly (called and talked to a guy on the phone in sales) of Vmware is YES. I can do, all I need is to buy the package of vCenter $5,000 with JUST vCenter, they have a package that has just vCenter.

    2. the response of my representative commercial, yes you can, but you will need to purchase a new license for EACH host, $995 for each MORE vCenter $5000. He was talking about the Foundation package

    So my question is, WHY should I update the ESXi license if Vmware SAID in their documentation (unless I read wrong) you can manage ESXi with vCenter? I have no problem paying the $ 5,000, as I have in the budget, but I can't do the agents too...

    Looking for a clear answer...

    Thank you guys.

    You would have to purchase licenses of Foundation for each of your ESXi hosts and vCenter.    The license of the Foundation includes vCenter agent license you need to manage each host.   See page 4 of the PDF http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vi_pricing3.pdfpricing.

  • Problem installing OpenManage for VMWare vCenter integration

    Our web customer support is for vSphere 5.5 only. Please make sure it's the version of vCenter that you run.

    "If you are on 5.5 check if there are two plugin files in C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity /" If there is, we have seen that removing the oldest file and restarting the blank Server fixed this issue.

  • Add Server ESXi in Vcenter 5.5 cluster with a different number of socket

    I have 5 nodes compute node IBM Flex System X 240 8737T7M with 2 CPU Socket in a VMS Cluster with identical hardware and now I need to add 1 more IBM System Flex X 240 node calculate 8737T7M with 1 CPU Socket in the same cluster.

    Here are other points: -.

    VCA Mode is disabled in this cluster.

    5 existing and new are the same model of CPU and memory is of the same capacity.

    Only the difference is 5 knots with 2 sockets and another node is 1. Please notice is recommended and he face any technical problem.

    VMware ESXi 5.0 and Vcenter is 5.5


    Hello

    VCA mode is not required when the generations of CPU on the server is the same.

    Adding your host in the cluster will work then.

    He advised not to add servers to a cluster with mixed material config. A possible problem might be the Admission HA control for example settings. If you configure a number of hosts reserved for failover, you may encounter problems with your hosts do not match each other. Here, you define the ability to failover in percentage.

  • Cluster with different versions of ESXi - version vCenter

    I have a 2 cluster nodes ESXi 5.0.0.

    I intend to spend one of the 2 nodes to ESXi 5.5 U2 by inserting the CD of U2 ESXi 5.5 in the CD from the host and performing an upgrade: is there a question I should?

    Since a few days/weeks, I can't upgrade the second node.

    Is there any problem if one of the 2 i ESXi 5.0.0 and the other nodes is 5.5 U2?

  • The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

    We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

    We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

    We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

    Using Enterprise + licenses

    Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

    That's what I think... Please help me guys

    1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

    2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

    3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

    4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

    5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

    6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

    7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

    See you soon!

    Pretty much.

    To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

  • Interoperability ESXi and vCenter Server

    Dear Sir

    You can use the vCenter 5.0 or 5.1 with ESXi 5.5?

    The version of the vCenter server must always be greater than (or equal) than the vSphere ESXi version.

  • Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

    I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

    If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

    Ideas please!
