fault to give vifs.pl. Error RestrictedVersion.summary

I have two boxes of esxi. I use vifs.pl to copy data files from a data store to another on the same box. On the same machine, everything works fine. On the second I have fault. RestrictedVersion. Summary of errors on everything that I try to copy. Both servers have the same license number and were built on the same CD. the code is the same, except the volumn number and name of the directory. What can I possibly hurt?

The Restriction Version summary very likely is the result of ESXi 3.5u4 fixing the VI API to have only read-only for the free version of ESXi, also explained here: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/

Speaking with people from VMware, sharp must not affect by locking the VI API because it does not rely on the API to download files, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm still waiting for a confirmation. But at the present time, the free version does not allow for write operations, which includes the use of vivid

You always have the option to use the VI Client and browser data store to download files, you just won't be able to automate using the API of VI/RCLI/Powershell

    Above gives me problems, when I try to start "snmp" on Esxi 4.0 version free of charge, as suggested by this link http://communities.vmware.com/thread/151296 I might have a bad or defective license so that it works.

    Ive tried to get an answer from VM-Ware so I have actually not the appropriate license for the use of the SNMP on a free version or if infact it may have something to do with the fact that I installed with the customized version of Dell free esxi 4.0

    I was given a license key for free installation when I downloaded ESXI and I put that key in the server as follows

    Product: ESXi 4 Server unique registered for 2 physical processors (1-6 cores per processor)

    License key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

    Expires: never

    Product features:

    Up to 256 GB of memory

    Up to 4-way virtual SMP

    Can someone give me an answer to this?

    1. is it possible to start SNMP on ESXI 4.0 free version using "VMware vSphere CLI?

    2 should I a different license for this?

    Best regards

    Bobo

    The reason is explained here, and it applies as well to ESXi 4.0: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/

    The license that you are subscribed is simply the 'free' version, it does not have any type of management remotely using the vCLI or PowerCLI tools. You can enable SNMP using the vSphere Client in which you can get for free by pointing your browser to the ESXi host, you have built and download it and install it on a Windows System.

  • fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    I'm trying to rename a file hard using vSphere CLI, which I was able to do several times a few months ago.   The command I use is:

    vmkfstools.pl - Server < MyHost > e [Datastore1] / < MyHost > / < MyHost > hard [Datastore1] / < MyHost > / < MyNewHost > hard

    After entering my username and password, I get the following error:

    Cannot move the virtual disk: fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    As I said, I could do this a few months ago.  At that point, I was running ESXi 5.0 with no patch.  Since then, I have installed all the patches for 5.0, including U1, and it is the first attempt I made to rename an installed since these patches werer vmdk file.  I tried the upgrade from the CLI to 5.0.0 - 615831, then 5.1.0 - 780721, but still not the same error.

    I don't know that the question will come as to why I am trying to rename the first vmdk file.  It is the method I used to clone my VMs.  I built a basic VM, copied the vmdk in another data store, then renamed the vmdk.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Build fails on ESXi - fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    Hi all

    I have a problem running the build process on an ESXi 4.0 in my lab with VMware Studio 2.1.

    I have several faults. RestrictedVersion.summary errors, the first is:

    20/02/2011 11:34:07 [warn] error ReconfigVM:

    After that almost every line of the error is the error RestrictedVersion the end of it.

    I've seen a few threads talking about a free version of ESXi with these errors, but they were for VMware Studio 2.0 in beta, so I don't know if they are relevant to my case.

    Also, I didn't see any known problem or a problem of compatibility in the 2.1 release notes.

    Welcome to the community,

    the reason for the error is indeed the free version of ESXi.

    of http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/studio/studio21/studio_developer.pdf

    The build fails with the following error string:

    fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    Put into service through ESXi with free ESXi license generates this error because ESX capabilities required for commissioning are not available. The evaluation of ESXi license (which ends in a given period of time) or a paid license will solve this problem.

  • Unable to create the virtual disk: fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    Hello

    Im trying to create a virtual disk using the CLI on ESX4i.  The script is:

    vmkfstools.pl - Server 10.190.2.51 - c 20 g d eagerzeroedthick - a free /vmfs/volumes/Internal/test.vmdk

    When the script runs I get error: unable to create the virtual disk: fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    Can someone tell me why please.  Im trying to create a disk of 20 GB with adapter free with eagerzeroedthick on my internal called storage, (no subdirectory).

    The file system is THAT VMFS 3.33 maximum file size is 256 GB.  The block size is 1 MB.  If it is the block size that is the problem how can I easily change?

    It's in a laboratory, not a production environment.  I need the flag eagerzeroedthick like Im trying to create a passive active cluster node MSCS 2 on a single physical node with 2 machines VMS.

    Thank you.

    Mike.

    If you use the free version of ESXi (U4 and later versions), access to tools like the VIMA API are read-only.

  • Game-VMHostSNMP - fault. RestrictedVersion.Summary

    Hi all

    I'm going round in circles here and it makes me crazy.

    I have a mixture of 4 ESX and ESXi 4 servers in a mixture of VC and stand alone server environment, which treats each server one at a time basis seems to be easier for me.

    Currently, none of the server active SNMP and we want to enable SNMP so that we can make claims of material with PRTG.

    I installed PowerCLI on my machine and connect to all the servers from there.

    First of all, after connecting to a server, I try to activate SNMP (Basic, that you might think)

    $snmpObj = get-VMHostSnmp
    Game-VMHostSnmp - HostSnmp $snmpObj - enabled: $true

    but I get in response

    Game-VMHostSnmp: 26/07/2011-15:39:19 lack of Set-VMHostSnmp. RestrictedV

    vast
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VmHostServiceImpl_SetVmHostSnmp_ViError
    VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.Host.SetVmHostSnmp

    I'm sure if I can solve this problem so I could put the string "ReadOnlyCommunity". If I run just

    Set-vmhostsnmp-enabled: $True

    Then I'm invited to the 3 sets of parameters, as in

    Set-VMHostSnmp cmdlet in the command pipeline position 1
    Provide values for the following parameters:
    HostSnmp [0]:
    HostSnmp [1]:
    HostSnmp [2]:

    but I can't find examples of what I should put it.

    In addition, thing really non-drole, if I run the command

    Get-VMHostFirewallException

    can I get the answer

    Get-VMHostFirewallException: 26/07/2011-15:53:55 Get-VMHostFirewallExceptio

    Please check that your device is correctly connected to the wireless internet (settings > wifi) and is plugged into a power source, check also that you have enough space in iCloud for your back upward.

    You can check the space available in settings > iCloud > storage and the space needed for the next backup to the settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backups > appliance > Back Up Options > next backup size (wait for the spinning until the gear icon).

    Assuming that you are eligible for iCloud upward, you should try a forced first stop, hold down the buttons side in top and home together until the unit stops, then restart by pressing the side/up button.

    Then, try to connect the device to a new location (different WiFi network)

    If your backup continues to fail, you can try to disable the backup on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > BackUp), reboot the device and then turn on BackUp on new.

    If it does not help disable backup again, remove your existing back to the top of the settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backup > appliance (scroll down) > delete backup, restart the device and then turn on BackUp.

    If you are unable to make a return to the top, try to connect on iCloud (settings > iCloud (scroll down) > Sign Out (you will need to enter your password at this point), restart the device and sign in iCloud to settings > iCloud.)

    The next thing to try would be to restore your network settings. (Settings > General > reset > reset network settings)

    Reset your network settings will erase your cell phones and wireless network settings, including saved networks, passwords for wifi and VPN settings, that you can use. It will affect to the Internet but will not be an impact on telephone services because these settings are automatically configured by your carrier. It may take a few moments to enter again all your network settings, but it shouldn't cause you any major problems. If you are comfortable re - enter your network settings, you can try this step earlier in the troubleshooting procedure, i.e. after the forced shutdown suggested above.

    If this does not help, try to disable some elements for the back upward in a model to try to establish if your problem is caused by specific data on your device. You can do it with settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backup > this device > Back Up Options.

    If you are still not able to perform a backup from iCloud, you can try to restore your phone which you should do by making an iTunes backup via your computer and restore from that.

    Be able to go back to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you have access to a computer or rarely have access to one, however unless you need specifically to use iCloud to go back, you'll find a backup on iTunes much more convenient and possibly more reliable. However if you save up to iTunes be sure to encrypt the back upward if you want to keep your data on health and passwords etc.

    Hello..

    Well ', it is downloading now as I type.   Unfortunately, the entire saga does not inspire, after all, if something is not going to be available until the wake of the United States, why to advertise and make details page live some time before, also allowing automated installers for 'see' something is necessary, if it is not there to get?   Are we not a global community of today.  Oh, sorry, 'in the world' just gets you to the end of the road in some parts of the United States.  (I have spent too much time there in the past and I still have to deal with too many guys focused on the United States through work.)  "You don't want to know, trust me!)

    Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens too often these days.  Link to page / available, but what it points to is not yet complete or even tested.  The background I had, we would do and first test the file, put it somewhere and make available, test links etc, then and then only, publish the said link.
