• Manage Virtual Machines in ESXi via Web Interface

  Hello

  I installed ESXi 3.5 and I'm looking for a way to manage the virtual machines directly without having to use the virtual Client.

  I found something on interface of VMware Remote Console management and access Web VI.

  Are these supported utilities bby ESXi?

  To DO that he had to pay for them?

  Where can I find them?

  Thank you

  You are right.  It is a paid product and is certainly not free.  It comes in sets of multiple features licensed.

• ESXi (free) and virtual Center.  I have to buy ESXi Foundation to manage?

  I have a bunch of servers ESXi (free) and now I want to manage them centrally.  I have the pirce for virtual Center, but I'm not quite clear on whether or not I need to change the ESXi license or not?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/ESX_Server_3i_presentation.PDF

  Take a look at page 12, it will show the different types of licenses with ESXi.

  You will need to buy at least the basic license to enable management of the VC.

• Update of ESX4 without virtual center or Update Manager

  Hello

  I use a 1 host configuration, where Virtual Center is installed as a virtual machine. I understand that this is not "best practice". Our host in a data center and rack space is limited for us. Anyway, how we would update ESX in this environment? Virtual Center being a virtual machine, it will have to be stopped to host clean up the updates. We cannot provide a physical box at present to perform Virtual Center. Is there therefore a non Virtual Center / Update Manager ESX update mode?

  Thanks as always...

  Unfortunately, it will not work with ESX - because updates are done differently. Each update in ESXi update the firmware to the previous version, while in ESX each patch is added to the ESX operating system.

  The download link of the last update is here - https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-166-20091202-254879/ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip

  You will have to powerdown your VMS put your host in maintenance mode - install the patch

• ESXi and Virtual Center

  Hello

  I am currently running esx 3.5 and VC 2.5.

  I have a lot of spare equipment (thanks to VMware ) and had the idea to install esxi use local storage on some of them and use them for testing.

  (1) can import these boxes esxi in my esx virtual center server to manage (is not part of my clusters) and no intendion HA DRS Vmotion etc and therefore still free licience or do I need a licience esxi VC?

  (2) what I could use to migrate mailboxes to existing test of esx with SAN to my local storage under esxi, converter Enterprise Edition or just simply copy and paste on the network?

  Thanks in advance

  Joe

  Don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you change anything

  (1) manage ESXi boxes requires additional licenses for VC agent on them, you can't do this with the free version.

  (2) converter would be the simplest solution (Standalone v4 is now available, for free, no more distinction between free/enterprise)

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• The addition of ESXi in Virtual Center

  Hello

  When you try to add the ESXi server, it asks:

  That's what I saw in the virtual Center

  

  you're out agents from vCenter for ESX.  To add the host in question, you will have to remove another or acquire several licenses.  However you can still manage, but not in your vCenter server.

• The traffic load between the power of Cisco ASA and FireSight Management Center fire

  Hi all

  I have a stupid question to ask.

  Can I know what is the traffic load and the e/s flow between firepower Cisco ASA and FireSight Management Center?

  Currently working on a project, client require such information to adapt to their network. Tried to find in the document from Cisco, but no luck.

  Maybe you all have no idea to provide.

  It varies depending on the number of events reported from the module to the CSP. No event = only health controls and policy changes are exchanged. 10,000 events per second = much more traffic.

  Generally it is not a heavy load, however.

• Is there a way to make Virtual Center to report older versions of tools like OK?

  I ask this question because we don't have the luxury of being able to always upgrade VMware tools to the latest versions until appropriate testing has been done.  So with this in mind is it a way to Virtual Center to report a specific version or more like ok?

  In my environment we only the chance to perform updates VMware tools every 6 months and on a specific version that has been carefully tested.  Tell VC only reports as obsolete tools if they are inferior to this version?  If new tools are added with patches later they would not get installed with the function "Auto Update" until we are ready for it.

  Thank you!

  Nope.

• Update ESXi with a Virtual Center Server

  Hello

  I've updated a Standalone ESXi server using this guide

  http://www.vmadmin.co.UK/VMware/35-esxserver/262-esxvihostupdate

  It works the same way during the updating of the ESXi servers that are under a virtual Center Server?

  Thank you

  as part of the upgrade, using Crossover, a new vCenter agent is pushed. So, no, you don't break anything.

• Update Manager: it updates Virtual Center or just the ESX servers?

  Hi all.  After months of inactive Update Manager, I finally got it going again and so I need to install approximately 6 months of updates on my ESX servers.  This is the easy bit.  But how can I update my virtual server to the center of update 1-2.5 2.5 update 4?   Update Manager at level Virtual Center for you or is it a manual process?  That is to say.  Do I need to download the ISO and do an inplace upgrade?   Thanks in advance for any help

  see you soon

  The process of upgrading to vCenter is separated from the Update Manager. Download vCenter media - save your vCenter database and then run the installation program - it will do an upgrade on the spot.

  Here is a link to the upgrade guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_upgrade_guide.pdf

• XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

  I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

  I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.
