• free license of VMware ESXi 4.1

  I downloaded and installed ESXi installable iso 4.2 file, then installed. Later, I downloaded and installed the VIclient 4.1, when I login to my account at vmware, I see a key for ESXi 4.1, but I can't find is it possible to install/assign the key or on the server or the vclient, I always use the licnese assessment. Although the site indicates clearly that ESXi is free, and customer vShere can be used for free to manage a single server to the time, but I can not just replace the evaluation with the free license.

  Please adivise.

• Reinstall the free version of VMware ESXi

  Hello world

  It probably is really stupid question, we have a spare Dell break and it has the free version of ESXi installed on it... can I re - install the free version and win another 60 days with her trail?

  Any information would be greatly appreciated...

  Hello world

  Finally managed to re - install the ESXi, down from GParted live disk and deleted volumes and reinstalled ESXi ESXi again... There must be an easier way to do this, can not believe the ESXi installer doesn't have an option to format hard disks and reinstall from scratch once again... surely, Miss me something here that is, once someone has installed ESXi There is no easy way for someone else to come along and reinstall the software to access all the features for 60 days...   Sounds crazy

• VMware esxi 3.0 cpu limitation free version?

  Is there a number of cpu, you can use the free edition with vmware esxi 3.5?

  We're going to get a server who is 2 x processors intel quad core and I wondered it esxi will see a single processor even if there are 2.

  Thank you.

  The maximum number of processors can use the free version of ESXi is identical to purchased versions - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3i_e/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_3i_server_config.pdf which is 32 hearts

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• Upgrade VMWare ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.0.0

  Hello

  Is it possible to upgrade 398348 for the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor, the free version of VMWare ESXi 4.0.0?

  
  How would I go all upgrade without losing the virtual machines that are currently in the data store?

  VMware ESXi hypervisor and share binaries of same exact. It is only the license key that locks or unlocks various features. Then switch between editions is basically just replace the license key.

  Because the binaries are the same for all editions, for example the 4.1 version update procedure is the same too. Just follow the link DSTAVERTS the Guide to upgrade (search for vihostupdate).

  PS: You can also take a look at http://blog.peacon.co.uk/wiki/Upgrading_ESXi_4_to_4.1 which includes the steps of the update

  But on the vsphere client, I receive the message "your evaluation license will expire in X days. I don't have a key that I applied when installing ESXi.

  My understanding of the license is accurate.

  You should have received your license key in an email from vmware or you can find it by logging in and going to the ESXi download page.

• How to convert a Machine of VMWare ESXi 4.0 to run on VMWare Player

  Hi Experts

  I am new to VMWare and need help, we are running ESXi 4.0, I installed on our Windows Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2) the following:

  -VMWare vSphere Client 4.0

  -VMWare vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0

  -VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone

  We have currently x-2 VMS Machines on our server ESXi (ISSDBN01 & ISSSAP), ISSAP installing Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Editon and SAP, I now want to convert this Machine VM (ISSAP) so I can play on / via VMWare Player. My steps were as follows:

  -Turning off the machine that needs conversion

  -Make sure that I am on the parameters users & groups

  -Convert the Machine (ISSSAP) using VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone VM

  Once the conversion is complete it converts a 145 GB file (that is stored on an external hard drive and the machine has x 2 100 GB disks = disk C and data disc), I select the .vmx with VMWare Player (version 3.0.1.11056) file that I use on my laptop (running Windows Vista Business SP2, 4 GB of RAM), but it does not seem to boot up It keeps saying "Windows is loading files", I Googled it and came across someone adding the parameters of the resolution of the .vmx file.

  I'm not sure what to do now that I need to convert this machine as soon as possible, as I have to get a copy of this machine and test upgrades (because the server is going to be broken and most of the parts used for our hosted server); can anyone help me on what steps I must take to ensure that I convert it properly so I can play this machine converted by VMWare Player.

  Thank you very much for any help, much appreciated.

  Kurt Walters

  Hello Kurt.

  I just have a question about my machine converted, is there a best practice or a better way to convert a VM Machine.

  It is really not a good practice. The most important part of the conversion is the correct selection of the controller (as you did) and disk size/commissioning type. The other settings depend on what you want to achieve. After conversion, review the settings of the virtual machine to ensure that everything is as it should be for example (guest operating system, controller, network,...)

  You can also download the latest version of VMware Converter 4.3 which is supported for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

  Thank you very much for your help is was extremely useful and appreciated.

  You are welcome. If you believe it, feel free to use the 'proper' or 'Useful' buttons

• VMware esxi 5.0: Samba datastore

  Hello

  After searching for a thousand and one ways I found no results for my problem.

  Let me explain:

  I recently bought from Dell a server on vmware esxi 5.0.

  My virtualization works wonderfully well and I have no worries about the virtualization itself.

  Given the cost of the server I preferred a server with little storage... And now everything works fine I heard 'need' more storage (Miss near 100 go).

  I have a server iomega Linux ubuntu 11.02 with more than 1 TB of storage. That had more but accurate, so I decided to use it as storage type NAS dedicated only to my virtualization.

  It is configured so that it is accessible to all (public mode). It is visible from any position, it is on Linux or on Windows. I have the opportunity (in any position) to create/delete/run the files it contains.

  Ook, impossible pour me to make this server a data store. :/

  Indeed after searching for tutorials on the Internet I don't have until then not found solution...

  Apart from "http://www.tuto-it.fr/ESXDatastore.php." When I get to select my server (IP put) I don't have to worry about this one is clearly visible. However I don't have a 'target' (target) available in what makes me unable to create a new LUN disk on this famous server.

  I ask myself several questions:

  1. is my request possible?

  2 samba is he took into account by Vmware as a NAS Server?

  3. a more advanced version of the it takes VMware pour UTI UN datastore 'distant '?

  4. should I use another operating system and/or USE another software for sharing?

  Someone would have it an idea pour me troubleshoot?

  I thank in advance anyone willing to give me some advice.

  [EDIT]

  I also could find attached 'http://www.vclouds.nl/2012/06/24/building-my-superfast-home-storage-with-nexenta-ce/' but this one speaks of "Nexenta. Therefore, pour me possible to a server from a data store. Remains to be seen how! :-(

  Hello

  Pour you could mount a store of data that Linux server on your infra vSphere, it takes you to introduce United Nations either NFS or iSCSI volumes.

  A the of my opinion, simpler and faster is that you turn to the NFS, just have to be careful to set the right parameters pour export.

  Keep us updated,.

• VCenter Server with VMWare ESXi free 5 5

  Hi all

  Test the VCenter Server 5 Evaluation (60 day trial) to management all my 5 of VMWare ESXi (free license). It works with restrictions. These restrictions aren´t a problem for me. I need only to move (power off of virtual machines), clone, create templates for and organize my servers in a single interface VSphere Client. So, I would like to know what type of license of VCenter Server 5 woks if VMWare ESXi 5 free. Buy the VCenter Server 5 Standard?

  Another doubt is if VStorage works with VMWare ESXi free license I.

  Best regards

  Fabio Sobral

  Unfortunately the free ESXi hosts in vCenter management is not possible (except for the eval). The hosts of ESXi need a vCenter Server Agent license that is only available in editions 'paid' of ESXi.

• VMWare Converter / ESXi - convert before installing ESXi?

  I need to convert a physical machine into a format that VMWare ESXi will be able to run. The problem is that I have not and can not install VMWare ESXi until this conversion is already done. VMWare converter standalone client customer has two options for the type of destination:

  • Machine virtual VMware Infrastructure (while the right choice, apparently, I can't pick it that I have not yet installed ESXi any where)

  • VMware Workstation or other virtual machines to VMware

  When I choose the second option, I can "Select VMware product", however, ESX/ESXi is not an option. One of these options will convert to a format that ESXi will be able to run once installed without additional conversion?

  I think I should choose VMware Server 1.x as I think it's running version 4, like ESXi hardware.

  The release notes for Converter 4 State that ESXi 3.5 is a goal taken in charge in the future you will be just able to select ESX for the destination and you will be fine.

  In this case, you can select the VMware Workstation or other Machine virtual VMware opton and store than the P2V would be the machine on a Windows share. You can then use again later on, converter to convert the virtual machine in ESX format.

  The user guide for the product says that it is possible and taken care of.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community-

  (1) as long as the DRS HA cluster hosts see data even warehouses there will be no problem

  (2) once more, also longer than the nose can see data warehouses including the LUNS as the RDM it home should be without issue.

  (3) Yes multiple instances of the free version of ESXi can access LUNS shared - Yes it can be used in a production environment, but remember you can not handle the free hypervisor with vCenter.
