Host-based license

I have an ESX host with a license based on the host, now let's say the machine is not owned by our company, it's on "ready".

Let's say we are audited by VM Ware, and they want to know our environment.  Now, let's say that 'ready' machine the company bankrupt, but still need to recover the license information.

Is this possible?  If I click on the machine configuration and select about license, it displays 'host license file' and I vaguely remember implementation, but the person who sent me the file is of type LONG gone... and this is the story of the e-mail.  Is there a way I can connect to the server to get ANY type of license information (like where it was purchased, and how it was recorded, because someone has - I know that's not on the server, but any license information such that will help key).  How can I do this?

The license file must be on the ESX host to: /etc/vmware/vmware.lic

You should be able to pull usig WinSCP, then open it.  It will not show that he registered, but you can submit this file to supprt VM or licensing to make better known the owner/register(er?)

  • New host ESXi licensing

    Hi guys,.

    I am currently working on a workflow for the provision of new hosts ESXi from scratch. Unfortunately, I glued on the new VMWare licensing to a host. I wanted to do this with a script element:

    Entry:

    Host (VC: HostSystem)

    License (String)

    Code:

    Host.configManager. licenseManager. licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, license, null);

    Unfortunately, this returns an error indicating licenseManager is null.

    Anyone know how to set the new licenseManager on the host or license in another way?

    Thank you

    Kamil

    OK, I got it myself. Instead of approaching licenseManager thanks Host.configManager I used instead of the VC:SdkConnection variable.

    Entry:

    Host (VC:HostSystem)

    SDK (VC:SdkConnection)

    LicenseKey (String)

    Code:

    SDK.licenseManager.licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, LicenseKey, null);

    This works perfectly!

  • Log Insight 3.3 shows several entries host consuming licenses - can I clean it?

    Hi all

    So I installed the Log Insight 3.3 for vCenter and it helped me to set up log shipping. Everything works well except two things:

    1. Duplicate hosts (see below) consume all my OSI licenses. Anyone know how I can clean one of the entries? (Of course, I can add FQDN ESXi host name if this is useful and supported)
    2. 5.5 ESXi hosts are not in list host - configuration double checked and restarted syslog. Possible due licenses OSI are consumed by the host entries a copy?

    Release notes:

    The host table can display devices more than once.
    The host table can display devices more than once with each in different formats, including a combination of IP address, hostname and domain FULL name. For example, a device called foo.bar.com may appear as foo and foo.bar.com.
    The host table uses the host name field that is defined in the syslog RFC. If an event sent by a device via the syslog Protocol does not have a host name, vRealize Log Insight uses the source under the host name. This can cause the device being listed repeatedly as vRealize Insight Log cannot determine if the two formats are pointing to the same device.

    Advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    # 1 there is no way manually clear entries - for/admin/hosts the entry will be deleted once that all data from this host spun on (i.e. based on the retention period), for/admin/license if you click the question mark next to medium active HMOs, it says "The average County OSI active is the daily average number of hosts sending events to Log Insight." the big question is why are you seeing duplicates? Duplicates saw if DNS front AND rear are or are not configured correctly. Duplicates can also result in malformed syslog events.

    # 2, the question is not duplicated OSI - if this does not work, it means that something is wrong. It could be the network report including DNS resolution on the ESXi host or network firewall configuration (no configuration host firewall). You'll probably want to connect to and 5.5 ESXI host and check things like syslog configuration validation, confirming the network connectivity to LI, confirming DNS resolution to the syslog destination is work, etc..

    I hope this helps!

  • VLM can disconnect a user-based license?

    Currently, we use licenses based on computer for our products.  For some of our users who work disconnected, we eat two licenses.  We are therefore contemplate pass them to a schema license based on the user for some of our products.  I found documentation detailing how to disconnect a computer (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6202245633CF18328625712B00095F2E).  How does a user disconnected? Y at - it a tutorial on that?

    Hi Richard,

    "Disconnect users" is undoubtedly possible inside NI VLM.  While this is a simple process and direct, there is an additional step involved, since it is not human (user) who is disconnected from the network, it is a machine (computer).  As such, you must effectively generate a new computer entry in NI VLM (which will eventually be disconnected), associate computer with permission to a specific user and then then unplug the computer.

    The following article of the basis of knowledge in detail this process.

    If I have named licenses, how can I create a disconnected license file NI Volume License mana...

    If this complements your concernrs about the migration of some or all of your licenses to be user-centric, feel free to contact our group of contracts to make the change by sending an agreements to ni.com.

  • ASA 5505 host under license limit has been exceeded

    I'm receive syslog message 450001 - host license limit has been exceeded.

    To see the version on my ASA 5505 (8.0.2), inside hosts are limited to 10. The limit of 10 corresponds to the limit (10) syslog error message.

    How is this calculated number of hosts? Show arp represents 6 addresses glued to the inside interface.

    Hello

    Don't use "show arp", use "local host" instead.

    Excerpt from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/configuration/guide/specs.pdf

    In routed mode, hosts inside (business and home VLAN) account in the limit only when communicating with the outside (Internet, VLAN).

    Internet hosts are not counted toward the limit. Also, guests who initiates the traffic between businesses and home are not counted toward the limit. The interface

    partner with the value default route is considered to be the Internet interface. If there is no default route, hosts on all interfaces are taken into account in the limit.

    In transparent mode, the interface with the smallest number of hosts is counted within the limits of the host. See the show local-host command to view the host

    limits.

  • The host is licensed with VMware vSphere 5 Standard. The license of vCenter Server edition doesn't support VMware vSphere 5 Standard.

    So I disconnected a host to vcenter server and now I get this error message when I try to reconnect to this host.  The host has been previously connected without any problem.  Vcenter servers as esxi are 5.5.0.  Anyone had any experience with this?

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure why it worked previously. Maybe it worked with an earlier version, or hosts have been added while vCenter Server was still running in trial mode. Anyway, if you have a license of Essentials for vCenter Server, you must also license processors Essentials the Essentials version is sold as a kit.

  • Host esx license problem substituting

    Hi all

    I have a problem when I try to replace it by an esx host.

    We have a total of 20 under license issued, 19 in use (9 esx host have 2 cpu, 1 esx host has 1 cpu).

    To add a new host esx (I'll call esx11), I had to unplug and remove a host of VIC (I'll call esx01).

    The result is that esx11 is "unlicensed" and if I make a 'survey of status' using license server tools (FYI License Server is installed on Virtual Center), it always reports as licensed hospitality that I disconnected (esx01).

    Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance.

    PIO Massaro

    just because you disconnect will not remove the license.  You must go to the ESX host, under the configuration tab and the features under license.  Change your license source.

  • License of new hosts ESXi 3.5 in the new facility in vCenter 4?

    We are looking to possibly buy an IBM Blade Center solution with vSphere.  What we seek is using USB hypervisor (ESXi 3.5) embedded keys available for the blades (HS21XM / HS22) and the use of these rather than installing ESX / i on local storage.  What I want to know is, is it possible?  I think that we will need to install the VCenter 2.5 license server in order to manage 3.5 computers hosts and can then install VCenter 4.0 on top of this same server to use the new feature of vSphere, but can I still get a license these old hosts (like new)? Allow the VMWare you (as a new purchases) use vSpehere Standard licenses (which we will go to) "extension" of the functioning of the ESXi 3.5 integrated to include the features included in the Standard version of vSphere, or its equivalent has 3.5.  Not 100% sure about the licenses and have verified what I can on the forums and can't seem to find anything so your advice would be very grateful

    Thanks in advance for your help

    1. Yes, you can use the ESXi which will be integrated to the server during the expedition.

    We have other 2 options to the license of the host - with host-based license

    file and serial key. These two approaches are autonomous, no options

    need server licenses or VC.

    3. you can configure VC 4.0 guests to license the 3.5i with the 2.5 license server. This option is available inVC - Administration-> vCenter Server Settings-> licenses.

  • What is the minimum reqs to use based on the host IPS?

    I have several servers related to the internet and a basic ASA-5510.

    Apart from the purchase of the AIP - SSM and the upgrade of the 5510 license, what else is necessary to have a host-based IPS?

    Do I need to buy March or other software?

    How are the agents for safety spec'ed?

    Thank you.

    Some time ago Cisco was a really great host-based IPS, security of Cisco (CSA) officer. It's end of life and you should look for a different provider. Ditto for the MARCH central software system, which also is EOL.

    Looking for a server protection?
    With the help of the AIP - SSM is a good solution, to protect a HTTPS server, you need to think a proxy reversed in the demilitarized zone which completes the SSL and sends pure HTTP to the server of origin. Which can be inspected with a firewall-web on the proxy and also by the epi to the ASA.
