• Upgrade to vSphere client 5.1 U1 but using vCenter/ESXi 5.1 (not U1)

  So I saw this recommendation from VMware:

  -----------

  The sequence for vSphere 5.1 update update 1 and their compatible VMware product (2037630)

  If you are using vSphere Client in your environment, it is recommended that you upgrade the vSphere Client to version 5.1 update 1.

• Resources used by ESXi 5

  When you plan how to set up virtual machines for ESXi 5, you have to book specific resources for ESXi itself?

  For example, a host of 12 core consists of 8 cores for a VM database and 4 cores for a VM or ESXi application requires 2 of these nuclei for itself effective. Suppose that these virtual machines will run pretty hot.

  Documentation indicates that ESXi requires minimum 2 hearts and about 2 GB of RAM (depending on the #VMs), but it means to predict (#cores - 2).

  Not exactly.  ESXi is not a type of virtualization solution area.  vCPU are scheduled on a physical processor based on priority/share for a unit of time.  You actually have time to decide your CPU, you're not segmenting their or removing them and dividing them to your virtual machines.

  When you assign a vCPU virtual machine, you are him giving a thread of execution against a Jepp.

  The host runs this time.

  You need to the account that you will need processing power for a host, but it does not amount to a full 2 hearts, especially when you load the host with a large NUMBER of machines.

  For example, I have a host with 32 cores and 256 GB of RAM, running at 20 percent with 37 vm and about 70 vCPU configured using.

• updated images of VMware Server to use in ESXI server

  Hello

  I just have a lot of virtual machines that has been configured and used by vmware server 1. Now, I'll use ESXI server, when I downloaded the images to the esxi server and tried to run, I had a mistake in VMDK. Is it possible for me to change VMDK and use these old images or I need to reconstruct images from scracth. also, is there any availbale tool to update my old images to use ESXI?

  Thank you

  ESXi does not support the scattered disk format used by VMware Server by default. What you can do is to follow the recommendations of weinstein5and use VMware Converter or convert the hard file in a supported format (zeroedthick, eagerzeroedthick or thin) using the vmkfstools in ESXi command line tool.

  Assuming that the virtual disk has no snapshots, you can follow these steps in order to maintain the virtual disk file name.

  • create a 'old' subfolder in the folder of the VM on the ESXi host and move the hard files in this folder
  • Basic virtual machine folder run for example vmksftools old-i /hard-d thin vmname.vmdk
  • If the virtual machine lights without problem, you can remove the "old" subdirectory

• Can I use licensed ESXi 4.1 on multiple servers ESXi 4.1?

  I registered and obtain a license of VMware ESXi.  This license key is valid only for VMware ESXi 4.1 and later versions.

  I intend to set up several reasearch, development and commercial purpose ESXi hosts.  Can I use this license again and again.

  I guess that's YES, because VMware vSphere Hypervisor is a free product.

  But just needed confirmation.

  Thank you very much.

  If you open a session to download ESXi Hypervisor scrolling to the bottom of the page. To the terms and Conditions, there is a link to change the account. Confusion between good formulation.

• Can be used with ESXi 4.0 HP system management tool?

  Hello

  I'm installing ESXi 4.0 on HP DL380 G4 server and I was wondering if the management of the HP tool system can be installed along side the hypervisor, so I can remotely check the condition of the equipment of the machine.

  Anyone know if this is possible?

  Thank you

  I had little experience with HP SIM, it's been a while. So with ESXi, there is no agent that runs on the host computer, it uses the CIM (Common Interface Management) which is an API that can monitor the hardware and return this information to tell your server HP SIM. For the configuration and use, I recommend looking at HP and the involvement of the HP documents. If you have installed ESXi HP image, then from the point of view host you should be good. You must later have your SIM Server talk to host ESXi and sure he monitors the components you want and alert on it, etc.

  Here are a few articles around ESXi and CIM blog:

• Problems use processor ESXi

  Hi guys -.

  IM new here and just installed ESXi 4.0 (latest one) on a 490 dell precision. So far, it has 2 GB of ram ecc, but I have another 2 GB on the way. Its got a 3.0ghz xeon dual-core processor with ht technology so it appears as 4 processors. Esxi installation went smooth and I've added a virtual machine in and begain to install Server 2008 r2.  To get to the point, it takes forever to install Server 2008 r2. I have no idea why. I'm looking for in table performance and its only operating at 20%. Why can't he just use more processor? or am I missing a setting?

  Before, I tried to install Server 2008 r2 just to see how fast it would install right hard disk (no esxi) and it took about 10 minutes to start cd to type the password for the first time. very fast.

  Why esxi it slows down a lot?

  Ryan

  Repeat the installation with a single vCPU assigned to the virtual machine and see what happens. Chances are you see some argument for resources by having all your Physics (and the HT "nuclei") assigned to the virtual machine.

  You can check the values of CPU ready to give you a good idea if you may be suffering from a CPU contention. On ESXi, this can be done using resxtop (part of the vSphere CLI), or changing the graphics options of the particular graphic performance for this virtual machine.

• VCenter Server (standard) useful with ESXi is free?

  Trying to decide what, if anything, to actually buy VMware.  The free ESXi product license is... enough.  I would really like to central management, backup or read/write capabilities with rcli (piracy without installation - I think I said that correctly).

  My question is this.  There is a VERY big jump in $$$ of the products beforehand essentials range or better (I think that the Standard line is unnecessary).  I currently have 5 VMware servers (2 under Server Linux 2.0 on server newish hardware, each, 2 ESXi 4 server about 4 VM running on old jobs as each House a unique VM (due to higher disk IO) and ESXi 3.5 server running on 32-bit with 1 VM hardware).

  In any case - with a mixture of mission critical production VM and VM little criticism that don't necessary not to live on a San and puff SAN bandwidth, I'm not sure I want to limit myself to 3 physical machines.  It would be probably enough for the next 5 to 10 years, but it would affect my SAN strategies and I have to buy at least 1 or 2 new costly servers.

  So I thought that maybe just get the vCenter Server for centralized management would work.  I always have 2 or 3 more enjoyable new servers ESXi 4 on the San with mission critical servers, while continuing to have 2-3 of older machines with individual local readers VM (I like to keep virtual for purposes of disaster recovery for) running.

  I can't find any information on knowledge if it would work, and it would offer benefits etc..

  You cannot add free ESXi to vCenter. Adding a host requires the inside the host vCenter Agent license.

  Sorry about that.

• Backup the DataStore folder & files using Powershell & ESXi 4.0 Update 1

  Hello

• Advice of external storage for use with ESXi 3.5 (free)

  I'm under ESXi 3.5 (free) on a server with internal storage.  I would buy external storage and switch my VM to it.  The virtual machines that I have running on the server are not used very often, so I don't want to put a lot in it.  Can anyone recommend an external SAN/NAS storage device that would work with ESXi 3.5 (free)?  I'm looking for maybe 500 GB - 1 TB connected to the network via Ethernet.

  Less than the price of Iomega devices (the ~ $300 model) are sold to a group of work so not really high performance. If you find that this performance was not acceptable, you'd have no way to improve the system.

  I would like to use your existing NAS NFS features. If this does not work out, you can always go for something with more umph.

  If it is a lab test the Iomega should be fine. If it has an environment that can grow in size requirements and performance over time, you might want to try to build a more powerful Openfiler SAN/NAS.

  First try your existing infrastructure.

• Vsphere client to use in Esxi 5.0 or vcenter

• ESXi 4.0 Determination of applied updates version number using the / ESXi different vSphere host?

  Hello

  I am trying to determine if you can tell by the build number date level things run.

  I vSphere and vCenter 4.0.0 build 162856...

  Then when I discovered my ESXi server is Releasebuild - 261974...

  My tools are also this build number... so I think it's the update 1...

  I checked my Update Manager, and it is said that the update 1 has been applied, but how can I tell which numbers.  I looked and looked and seem not to be able to find documentation on this subject...

  Sneak in one last question: Update 2 should be installed manually, because I can't see in my update download manager...?
