• Differences Betweem ESXi and ESX

  Hai,

  I want to know the differences between ESX and ESX? where can get. If they are distinguished by the features that are available are not available.

  Thank you.

  Most of the features are available in available in ESX ESXi. In order to get the full functionality of ESXi, the host must be managed by vCenter Server.

  ESX has a console that is drastically reduced in ESXi. It is actually easier to install and easier to manage ESXi.

• ESXi (or ESX) coexist with other OS?

  My PC server to windows 2008 installed right now.

  And I want to try ESXi (or ESX), but I still want to use windows 2008 some time (no virtual machine).

  ESXi (or ESX) coexist with other OS? like GRUB can linux redhat bootloader?

  Moreover, what is better, ESXi or ESX?

  No, ESX (i) is a bare metal hypervisor. It cannot coexist with another operating system on the same hardware.

  ESXi (or ESX) coexist with other OS? like GRUB can linux redhat bootloader?

  Maybe it's possible. I guess this is something that must understand the bootloader.

  Moreover, what is better, ESXi or ESX?

  IMHO, that's the wrong question. In general, both have the same kernel, so they offer pretty much the same. But ESX (i) is not a console and the free version can also not be integrated in vCenter without having to purchase the appropriate license.

  But on the subject of virtualization, performance and trust, they are the same.

• I want to move my VM to an ESXi on ESX

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine running on one of my ESXi servers.

  I want to move this virtual machine (or copy) to another ESX Server.

  It is possible to move or copy the same instance of my VM works on ESXi to another server ESX (or ESXi).

  However, don't want to do it through vmotion. is there any other way to do this?

  Please, help me to know the answer.

  Thank you

  David

  You have a few options and here are a few:

  1 Veeam FastSCP-> Power Off, Drag Drop, power on

  2 vSphere Client--> power off, browse the data store, ESXi download, download on ESX Power On

  3 VMware Converter-> Power Off, "Convert" to ESXi for ESX, power on

  I don't know there are a few others but this is what jumps out to me the head.

• Confused in what I need [ESXi Embedded; ESX Installable; ESX 3.5]

  Hello team.

  Let me explain what I first: I need to run 6 virtual machines and manage these 6 VMs through a single window. I might be able to manage all VMs 6 using the single window (in general-, this could be any application). To manage, I mean, create snapshots, go back, use them as if I had VMware workstation. I don't need any other features. I'm looking in the plug of the machine: Quad core; 8 GB; SATA RAID.

  Now my question is how do I select ESXi Embedded or Installable or standalone ESX. Is there documentation that shows these differences or videos showing what are interfaces?

  I read the difference between ESXi and ESX and it was something citing on linux required for ESX. Does this mean that my whitebox will need Linux installed before that I could install ESX?

  ESXi is barebone architecture, which means, I'll lose admin capabilities?

  You think, with these questions, am confused? Thanks for any help in advance

  Novice user with virtualization - Manny

  Hello Manny,

  In fact, it's the same interface and the program, you use esx and esxi.

  Free ESXi, esx costs money and can do all kinds of magic to keep near 100% availability.

  You will need to have an admin on windows pc to run the VI client from.

  The VI-client (or VMware Infrastructure client) connects to your host, and from there, you can create new guests, create the snapshot, return etc.

  NO, you don't need linux. In fact my esx 3i is booting from a USB key no OS is required on the hard disk.

  I have attached a photo where you can see the interface to manage hosts.

  

• change the password for root esxi and esx?

  Hello

  Is there an easy way to change passwords for root of esx esxi via powercli hosts?

  Thank you!!!

  You can use the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet to change the password of an ESX/ESXi server. Remember that you must connect directly to the host to do.

  SE connect-VIServer-Server ESX1.yourdomain .com - user root - password secret

  Game-VMHostAccount - UserAccount root - password topsecret

• Unistalling ESXi & install ESX, what of my virtual machines?

  Hi all

  I think unistalling vSphereHypervisor (ESXi 4.1) and installing vsphere (ESX 4.1) on my home server.

  How to preserve my 8 VMs or backup them?

  In addition, I will win by opting for ESX 4.1?

  At this point, the difference between 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1 shrinks, for what you can do through administrative tasks. Get the unit of MAS, and you have more features. With the new ability to remote SSH on ESXi 4.1, you win a lot of what ESX 4.x used to bring to the table (by itself without the need to modify a file of confd ESXi 4)...

  So unless you have tools/software that works only in ESX 4.1, I wouldn't wipe and install ESX 4.1... Firstly, you'll need to do the reverse, when you want to go to the next version. On the other hand, most third party tools have been updated to ESXi 4.1, are being updated, or will be before too long. At least those who actually want to keep their customers running VMware products.

  I moved my VM to a SAN/NAS in my lab at home. It is very handy when I want to update the host, since I can have run them on a temporary host (a good system, using ESXi 4.1 installed on a USB key). Finally, I have at least two hosts in my lab running 24 x 7 so that I can more easily update things. In addition, it will allow me to run several virtual machines at the same time.

• VMware ESXi for ESX 4

  Hello

  Someone know if can I upgrade my ESX 3i (3.5.0) to VMware vSphere (ESX 4)?

  Thank you

  You can't spend of ESX ESXi... ESX to ESX and ESXi for ESXi only... At least, not as an 'upgrade '. Provided that your host is on the HCL for ESX/ESXi 4 (u1 as well), then you can install it. This will be a facility of cleaning/charges however, wiping the LUN which ESX is installed on.

  You might want to stay on ESXi however, given that ESX is pretty much going to end with the 4.x releases (at least this is what I mean)... The released product in 2011 only is not available in two flavors, just ESXi...

  The ESX CLI, consider using the device of vMA and element vSphere CLI on your vCenter Server installation. You can also install the PowerCLI element to win these CLI scripting options.

• ESXi for ESX (full)

  Hi all...

  I currently have free ESXi on my server and I am wanting to upgrade to the full vSphere Suite. How can I install ESX (full) without losing my data?

  Any help would be appreciated to b. thank you!

  Joey

  I second Josh concern - do not worry about moving to ESX - stay on ESXi, you get the same functionality, will not have the headach of backing data store and after all VMware said they will stop producing ESX and ESXi - produce

• ESXi 4 ESX 4 Update 1 upgrade

  Hello

  I have here a typical situation. We rotated 2 standalone ESXi 4 with VM and templates stored in the local data warehouses. We finally decided to upgrade to ESX 4 update 1 to be able to use the service console to use most of the features of the CLI.

  The ESXi 4 has 2 data warehouses locally that contains templates of a store of data and the virtual computer on the other. It is important for us to have the operation of the virtual machine. We do not have a shared storage.

  We have obtained the licenses now and want to spend ESXi ESX 4update 4 1. Is this possible? If so, how and if not, what would be the alternatives?

  All entries would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  There is no option to migrate since ESXi 4 to ESX 4.

• Upgrading ESX 3.5.0 build 110268 ESXi 5.1 or newer

  I need to upgrade our current VMware ESX 3.5 cluster for the ESXi 5.1. To summarize the migration, we will use all of the new materials for vsphere 5.1 5.1 ESXi and new iSCSI SAN.

  Existing/current cluster environment (about 44 vms) is as follows:-vcenter (version 2.5) (1) and (3) dell servers to ESX 3.5 for a total of 4 servers, storage Fibre Channel EMC CX 300.  We went ahead and bought 4 new Dell servers and storage iSCSI, SAN Compellent Dell to replace the current environment.  The only difference is that the NEW strorage for cluster 5.1 will not fibre channel, but will rather iSCSI.

  I read a few post regarding similar improvements which I have summarized, but I'm a little unsure of how to proceed in particular relative to the storage side, (cluster running FC and iSCSI for new cluster).

  1. install Vcenter 5 on of the new material/vcenter Server

  (A) disconnect all ESX 3.5 knots of vcenter 2.5 and plug the new Vsphere 5 and set up the cluster

  (B) connect all new ESXi 5.1 nodes to the new vsphere 5 for the new Vsphere 5 cluster will contain all of the new and the old 3.5/ESXi 5.1 ESX servers

  -This is where I am confused.  My plan is to have the new cluster 5.1 vsphere manage guests to vmotion ESX 3.5 and ESXi 5.1, the old 3.5 ESX virtual machine in the new 5.1 ESXi.  Can I add new nodes 5.1 ESXi or ESX 3.5 to the new cluster 5.1 first, or that matter which node I add first?  Also, the new 5.1 ESXi hosts should have access to FC storage that the old ESX 3.5 has access to?  In other words, the new and old ESX/ESXi hosts would need to have visibility to the FC SAN for vmotion, right?  I do not know if I can add the ESX 3.5 and ESXi 5.1 to the new cluster if not all guests have access to the old CF storage?

  2. through ESXi 5 knots ESX 3.5 virtual machines using vmotion

  3. plan downtime for virtual machines and upgrade virtual hardware (use of snapshot before you upgrade upgrade goes bad snack)

  4 use storage vmotion to move vm data warehouses to the new iSCSI SAN

  Introduce the new iSCSI LUNS to the new cluster and make a storage vmotion to move storage vm of FC SAN to the iSCSI SAN.

  Thank you in advance, all the tips

• vMotion esx to ESXi 5.1 4.0

  Hi guys

  I have a client with a quite old deployment... vCenter 4.0 and ESX 4.0.

  We are going to 5.1.

  I will install a 5.1 vCenter in new server which will have ESXi 5.1

  so I'll add this 5.1 ESXi and ESX 4.0 to a new cluster 3 servers so I'll update one by one all the servers

  so my question is can I vMotion machines virtual ESX 4.0 to 5.1 ESXi? problem with vmware tools or virtual hardware?

  Thank you very much

  Yes, you will be able to vmotion between ESXi hosts without problem - you can confirm support here http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php?

• Differences between ESX and ESXi

  Hai,

  As I am new to VI environment I doubt that where features ESX and ESXi are different, it may be stupid but can help me a lot.

  Hello

  Please check the link to the differences between ESX and ESXi below.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/ESXi-and-ESX/compare.html

  Please note ESX is present in version 3.x, 4.x. starting vsphere 5.0, we have only ESXi.

  ESXi doesnot have a service console and has the smallest footprint of 70 MB and so is safer and more reliable, because it has a smaller surface set.

  Please allow points if you find the article useful.

  Thank you
