How to control vmotion license to the ESX Server

I have 5 servers ESX 3.5 U3 in my vCenter.  Two are using host license and three are in a cluster and using the server license assigned by my license server, that runs on vCenter.  However, my ESX servers two stand alone using the host license receive a license of vmotion by my license server and my ESX servers in my cluster but cannot get a license of vmotion because their attributed to the wrong ESX Server.

How can I get the vmotion license released by the ESX servers who don't need and make it available on my ESX Server who need?  My three ESX servers in cluster shared storage for vmotion and don't have my two stand alone ESX servers.

I tried simple things, like the disconnection of servers and ESX servers in reconnection vCenter, re-reading of license files, restart the license server, etc..  license and vCenter server is 2.5 U4.

Thanks in advance.  Jim

go to the configuration tab and click Networking, you have a Port VMkernel configuration?  If so, edit click the vSwitch properties, change your VMkernel port settings and uncheck the box that says VMotion: enabled.

    Here's how to swap: order product. Platform, language swap

    but I think that your license is double platform.  Download the mac version and see if your serial number will be activated.  If this isn't the case, at least, you will have the 30 day trial to use while you wait for your platform swap.

  • How to locate the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

    Hi all

    Please help on this

    How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

    Concerning

    Vijay

    Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

    In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

  • Adding a new NETWORK adapter to the ESX Server

    I have an ESX 3.5 server that has two NIC onboard.  I decided that I will join the ESX Server to the SAN, so I need these two NICS for iSCSI.  I'm going to install a NETWORK card in the PCI - X slot.  Unfortunately, without GUI, I'm confused as to how it will work.  Can someone give me some advice on how to add a new NETWORK card?  I checked esxcfg and I don't know if that's what I'm trying to use.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    In the VI client, you should be able to go on the tab network management under configuration see the NIC it to add them to the correct vSwitch.

  • Common cause of failure of the Mirage server in clustered environment and how customers will be switched to the other server in a cluster

    Hello

    Can someone share me information about common cause of failure of the Mirage server in clustered environment.

    And how customers will be switched to the other server in a cluster to continue their operations from the server failed.

    Kind regards

    C Bathesha

    In general, Mirage servers are not lacking. It is very rare (and not, for example, to problems of storage or endpoitns, which are more common).

    May raise problems of overload, memory or hardware malfunction too little.

    After that you make server standard troubleshooting (the etc system event log), you must file a Service request by VMware.

    When set politics multi-path set to Round robin, is it necessary to restart the ESX Server?

  • VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM & update of the ESX Server

    Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

    First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

    The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Kind regards

    -Flat.vmdk file is your data file where all of your actual data has been stored. Name back to the original value.

    It seems that you have lost the descriptor file (vmname.vmdk). If you have not an extraction backup the following procedures to re-create this file

  • License available when one of the ESX Server is in maintenance mode

    The available license count changes if ESX Server is added in maintenance mode? I think that the answer is Yes, but I want to be sure of it. Unfortunately I can't test this in my environment.

    I have ESX 3.5 update 5 and VC upadate 6

    Thank you

    I just tested it, and the number of licenses available for my 3.5 servers has not changed after that one has been placed in maintenance mode.  I wouldn't really expect him if she is always powered, but unfortunately I can't supply a stop for the moment.

  • How to find VCenter which manages the ESX host

    Hi all

    Is it possible to query ESX host using API to determine if it is autonomous or managed host and if it's a managed - what VCenter (name, IP address) actually runs it. I know it's easy to VCenter query to find all the hosts its handles, but I need to go the other way.

    Thank you

    Yes, you can query for the http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver5/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.html managementServerIp if defined, then it is managed by a server vCenter Server, this is the only information on the vCenter Server and assuming you have DNS, you can get the FULL of the IP domain name

  • Change of the Esx server root password.

    Hello friends,

    I have a small queries if you change the root on Esx server password there will be an impact on virtual infrastructure if it so please explain what effect might be on OS comments and please let me know how to change the password if it is not an impact. the Esx version is 3.5...

    Thank you

    Unless you use any application that connects to the host by using the credentials of the root, there should be no problem with changing the root password. Virtual Center uses its own (vpxuser) user to access the host.

  • Copy Virtual Machine on the ESX Server windows file server (files)

    I made a copy of a computer virtual with Vmware converter and it is sitting on the windows file server, is there a way to copy the files to the server, ESX4?  Something like a copy and paste?

    Thanks in advance!

    Simply right click on the data store you want to place the files on (Summary tab when selecting one of the hosts connected to this data store), select "Browse the data store" and then use the button "transfer files to this data store. You can use it to download a folder or file from a target, that you access from your system. It might make things easier if you create a folder in the store of data first, and then download the files one at a time. Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off when you do.

    Another option might be to vMotion/migrate it from current storage to a data store in the ESX environment. I did not the same type of migration before, it will or will not be, works correctly. I moved files VM from a source, see my workstation, up to a data store that the ESXi host has a connection to before without problem (with the virtual machine powered off course).

    Or do I have to put my ESX Server in maintenance mode, and then install the editor?

    You can use vi, especially if you know vim, vi will not be much difference.
