• Specialization on a new server ESXi 5

  I want to set up a new server ESXI 5.x for a customer and would like to clarify certain points, if you will allow me.

  1 ESXI 5.x supports up to 32 GB of RAM, correct?

  2. If I have a server with a processor image, I, from point of view of the ESXI, four CPU available is to allocate to the virtual methods, correct? And two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU is to allocate to virtual methods?

  With ESXI 4.1 I found work two logics CPU very well support a CPU heavily used on a new HP Server as long as my other virtual methods are virtual demand as storage of data or Symantec Antivirus servers servers, etc..

  3. I asked earlier but it's not kosher to overallocate computer CPU? If I have a Quad Core processor and assign 8 Virtual CPU I overuse. Is it always a bad thing with 5.x?

  Thank you very much for the friendly help continues I go out here.

  The backup, you can certainly manually save or use in comments like Windows backup backup. I just wanted to talk because many people don't think that.

  Regarding commissioning, it depends on the workload as I've mentioned before and also depends on how to configure the virtual machines. If you have a 4 core CPU and configure the virtual machines with 4 vCPUs you may soon face questions. However, if you configure the VM with 1 vCPU (or maybe two for individual virtual machines), it would be possible to run 10 virtual machines or more without problems. Everything that you, remember that the host must also some resources.

• Single server ESXi on CPU with > 6 hearts

  Hello

  As far I understand count max core for server ESXi (free edition) is 6. What happens if I install it on a box of HP DL385G7 with an AMD 6136 (8 cores) CPU? The installation will fail, or only 6 of the 8 cores will address work? The box is listed in the HCL. With the new range of G7 HP servers, it isn't an AMD based DL385 server processor that uses a processor with a basic under 8 account.

  Thank you!

  Julian.

  > I don't think County processor or core are limited to free ESXi.

  CPU do not count, but free ESXi is still limited to 6 hearts. It will work on 8 or 12 core processors, but use only 6 on each physical processor. 12 cores are only available for Advanced and Enterprise Plus.

• Update Server esxi

  Hi all, I'm new to vmware.

  I can see most of my esxi hosts are version 5.5 and few are with version 5.1.

  How update 5.1 to 5.5.

  I need to put in the mode of maintenance, and after that please guide me. If I put in maintenance mode the esxi host is removed from the cluster.

  Screenshots would be appreciated.

  2. I am using HP Proliant Servers. one of my server esxi does not support version 5.5 until I update its firmware. With the help of HP ILO I put firmware update, but I have to put in maintenance mode when I update the firmware on the server

  Hello

  1. download the required ESXi image.

  2. Select the host required in the vCenter > Update Manager

  3. click on view images Admin and click on ESXi

  4 import image ESXi and navigate to the directory where is this image > download

  5. the wizard asks you to provide a database name, to give a base name (for example, host_upgrade)

  6. go back to the view of compliance and enter the host in maintenance mode. If the host is in maintenance mode, no VM must reside on it. The host be removed from the cluster when it is in maintenance mode.

  7. click on join, and then select only this base line created containing 5.5 ESXi ISO

  8. click on Scan, compliance status must come as non-compliant. If she starts as incompatible then restart this ESXi host and perform the analysis again

  9. click on take and give a name to the task and keep the default values and complete the upgrade.

  Two things here:

  You must ensure that your ESXi 5.5 is supported on the hardware. You can use Vmware Hardware Compatibility List to verify that

  VMware.com/go/HCl

  Once the hardware is compatible for ESXi 5.5, then you can proceed to the update above.

  In addition, you must put the host in maintenance during the firmware update mode.

• vCenter Converter Windows 2003 Server ESXi VM keeps failing

  I'm trying to convert a Windows 2003 server to a virtual machine on a server ESXi. I use the option of VMware Infrastructure. My Server works well, and the authentication is successful. However, 1% it still fails with the error:

• Add a new table to the server ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  I try to add a new table on a server ESXi 4.1.0. Is it possible to build the table and add it without restarting the host? The server is an HP ML350 G5. I installed ESXi 4.1 on a hard drive, but I did not install HP driver packages. Is there something I could install from ESXi that would give me the features of configuration of the berries, etc. ?

  Thanks for any help,

  Stem

  Although it is possible (but unsupported) to install tools RIAD on ESXi (see VMware experience before: how to run the CLI of the ACU online HP for Linux in ESXi 4.x) you might have to restart the host still. Reading messages earlier, it would be also better to add the new table by using the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) rather than the ORCA (Option ROM Configuration for arrays). Of these posts, it looks like ORCA could possibly reorganize RAID sets, resulting in a non bootable host.

• Transfer of virtual machines from a server ESXi 3.5 to new ESXi 4.1 server. What is the procedure.

  I read on how to transfer a virtual machine from one server to another using VMotion. Not 100% clear on the process again. What I see or read is when you do this since an ESXi 3.5 Server ESXi 4.1 server, I do not see any information on, if possible. In addition, I have not read if I need to convert or upgrade the virtual machine until I use it on the new server. So, my question is, are there any special instructions, conversion tools to convert a VM created 3.5 to use on the new Server 4.1? Is there a detailed procedure that I have not yet found or read best describes this process. Like I said up to now I'm not 100% clear on the procedure. Thank you.

  ESX 3.5 VMs can run without modification on a host ESXi 4.1 - VMotion between the two hosts, you will stiil need to ensure CPU compatibility between the hosts.

  Maybe it's the best guid for upfrading to vSphere - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf

• Need to remove a server ESXi

  I have a test server ESXi who accompanies me through and want to install top W2K3. What can I install on W2K3 on ESXi or I have ESXi delete\remove first?

  Delete all partitions with windows install and create one for NTFS. Of course, this will destroy all the ESX information you had on the machine.

  I installed ESXi 5.5 on 1 server, I thought that ESXi is always free, but at the end of Setup that I have seen that ESXi is free just for 60 days... I need just to create 1-2 VMS with no HA or cluster situations... could you help me before starting to work on it, please?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  Yes, there is a free version of ESXi, but you will need to register to

  After you change the configuration file. I started the Esxi server. But when booting, it shows lmdriver failed to load. When I tried to configure the Exsi network, the back always prompt to reset the default settings of the network. Then I searched the internet, I found this machine NIC not to support Esxi. Is there a way to configure the Microsoft loop back adopter or any virtual adopter for esxi? So that I can install several esxi server on a single machine on vmware workstation and can be communicate with each other.

  With VMware Workstation 7 you should not need to manually configure the .vmx file. Create a new custom virtual machine and select ESX as the guest operating system. This will configure the virtual material suitable as an E1000 network adapter...

• NAS Server esxi local?

  Hi all

  I'm kinda new to ESXi, even if I'm running a server with it for a little over a year now. I use a HP Proliant ML350 G6 with a P410i raid (on-board) controller. I'm running a VM Windows Server 2012 R2 I want to use as an IIS server, but also as a file server. For a starter, I had 2 1 TB sata discs I have work in raid 1 (for storage) and 2 300 GB scsi drives in raid 1 (for the OS). When I go into the VM options, I click on add a device and under hard drive I see raw device mapping, but it is grayed out.

  I heard that it's a bad idea to use vmdk for storing files (discs virtal) because it may be corrupted on the 2 discs. I was wondering if there is a way to ungray raw device mapping and map of the Bay of Windows server VM 1 TB HARD drive? I heard I could buy a NAS box and plug it in, but I don't want to waste money if I can do this directly from the ESXi.

  Thank you very much!

  > because it may be corrupted on the 2 discs.

  Who said this? Both disks are presented to the ESXi hosts as a single logical volume, and the RAID1 is maintained by the controller P410.

  I see no reason why you should not create a VMFS data store and use a virtual drive for the file server. Don't forget to leave a free space on the disk on the data store if you want to use snapshots or change the settings of the virtual drive to "independent" persistent in order to exclude the virtual disk snapshots.

  BTW. local disks and volumes are not supported in the ROW, so they are filtered by default.

• 5.5 HCL for Supermicro Server ESXi

  Hello world

  I plan to buy a Supermicro Server to run ESXi 5.5 on:

  1027R-WRF

  http://www.Supermicro.com/products/system/1U/1027/sys-1027R-WRF.cfm

  
  

  In the HCL, however it does not show ESXi 5.5 compatibility yet for this server. Is it because ESXi 5.5 is too new? It shows the ESXi compatibility for all other versions.

  
  

  Similarly, there are Supermicro servers that shows only 5.5 ESXi compatibility. As the

  SYS-1027R-WRFT +.

  Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 1027R-WRFT +.

  
  

  AND

  
  

  SYS-6017R-TDF

  Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 6017R-TDF

  
  

  But the difference between these servers (ESXi 5.5 and 5.1 ESXi servers) is almost negligible. Any advice?

  
  

  How stable has everyone seen ESXi 5.5 also be? I plan on execution of the processors 2xE5-2690v2 if I want to use the 5.5 ESXi free so that I am not limited to vCPUs how can I return my virtual machines. But reliability is also a concern since this version is so new. What would you recommend?

  
  

  Thank you
  

  Until the seller of the material to apply for certification for VMware, so the reason for not being on the HCL is not always that it does not work.

• License server ESXi change

  Hello

  I use a PowerCLI script to configure my ESXi servers immediately after deployment. This includes adding them to vCenter Server. I use the ESXi image provided by HP and the image is already licensed with the license of the free hypervisor.

  This means that I can't add the ESXi server to vCenter as the license does not include the vpxa license.

  I don't want to open the vSphere Client directly to the ESXi server and change the license before running the configuration script PowerCLI.

  How can I change the license using PowerCLI license reconfigured to evaluation mode before adding the ESXi server to vCenter?

  Thank you

  This should work for stand-alone esxi 5.0
