• Cannot assign a license to VMware ESXi 5.0 hosts

  Dear all,

  I installed vCenter Server 5.0 standard IBM x 3550 M4 and VMware ESXi 5.0 Standard for two M4 IBM 3650 x servers. I can attribute vCenter Server Standard 5 license to vCenter Server 5.0 but I can't affect VMware vSphere 5 Standard licenses for both ESXi 5.0 servers. Each server has 2x6Cores 2.3 GHz CPU (12 cores total). VMware vSphere 5 licenses that we purchase are VMware vSphere 5 Standard for 1 processor (VS5-STD-C) x 12, which is unlimited cores per processor. Can someone tell me what is the problem here and the reason why I still can't assign license to two 5.0 ESXi hosts.

  Rgds,

  Syairus

  If I understand correctly you have 12 licenses for 1 CPU each! In order to assign a license to a host of the CPU, the license capacity must be equal to or greater than the number of the host CPU. You can combine licenses in the portal My VMware.

  BTW. for two host with 2 CPU each, you need only 4 licenses of CPU (not 12), as processors/sockets are allowed, not carrots.

• License of VMware ESXi

  Hi all

  I want to know if the VMware ESXi can be used situation?

  Hi William - Welcome in the community.

  The answer is Yes.

  The free version of ESX, I can be uised in production - although you won't get any agreement with her support - so you don't have to rely on VMware etc. communities for support (not ideal for production)

  There are a series of oif types of licenses that can be puyrchased - according to your needs.

  I think VMWare are happy with thismodel, because once most companies see the benefits of VMware virtualization and save on hardware, etc., most go to buy licenses that include additional features such as vCenter, support, vMotion and so on.

  ESXi (free version) has not built DR (like HA), or the distribution of resources (DRS) - If you are quite limited.

  In short, although that - Yes is the answer to your question.

  PS - Your first install ESXi will give you access to all the functions for a limited time - but once this period runs out, you will be limited to a limited ESXi installation. ESXi is the complete functionility of normal ESX, when it is fully licensed.

• 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.

• SuSE 11.0: VMware process are not started after the system startup

  Hello

  Suddenly, I have the problem, that after restarting my computer (SuSE 11.0, 64-bit) host VMware and VMnet services are not started. After you run the command "/etc/init.d/vmware restart" everything is fine - until the next reboot. I don't have any idea what caused this. I also run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl once again, but he has just helped until the next reboot.

  What can I do to get these VMware processes started automatically with the system startup, please?

  Best regards

• Impossible to apply license

  Hey guys,.

  I can't assign a license to my VMware DR environment.  The license was a v5 version, that I passed through the vmware Web site.  He said I have both quantity (processors I guess.)  I tried to apply on the server, and it tells me "the entered license key doesn't have sufficient capacity for this entity."  The server has two plugs and 12 cores per sock for a total of 24 cores

  Any ideas?

  What license/edition do you have? With vSphere 4 only "Advanced" and "Enterprise Plus" support 12 cores per processor.

• VMware ESXi 5 host stops sending the syslogs to the remote server (Splunk)

  We have recently installed a Splunk syslog server and our pointing devices are to him.   I noticed that when we stop/start the server (or service) the logs of all my ESXi 5 hosts stop coming in.

  There seems to be a known problem

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2003127

  The next step 5 restart the newspaper that circulates.  But there is no way I want to log on to the console and run it whenever someone does something in Splunk that needs a reboot or the Windows box is restarted for patches.

  I started writing a script bash (below), but discovered that ESXi has really not an area of cron as has ESX4 (not i).  If I brute force to create it on the host, it will come off with tasks.

  # This checks if the syslog server is written on "SPLUNK" third-party syslog server

  # It will restart the syslog service if she sees that he has ceased to

  const = 'cannot write the journal. "

  If [/var/log/.vmsyslogd.err - e]; then

  /var/log/.vmsyslogd.err n 1 tail. grep "unable to write the log.

  If [$? = 0]; then

  echo '$const; Found in the LAST line, restart the syslog server.

  FI

  FI

  "I was going to cron to run every 15 minutes and if he saw the last line in the log that was stopped 'impossible to write the journal' so I would like to add a '.esxcli system syslog reload " inplace of the echo line.

  "I vCenter on a Windows machine and would like to run a scheduled task on all my hosts (perhaps a csv file) and then delivers."esxcli system syslog reload " if that is found.  I can't figure out how to do this, can anymore help me out?

  I'd like to use what I have, I don't have a vMA or splunks VM either.

• Cannot install VMware ESXi 4.1 "cannot find the image of the installed system.

  Started in iso ESXi 4.1 downloaded, burned on a CD, CD, go to the screens, press F11 to install.  Immediately get the following error:

  -

  ---

  The installation operation failed!

  The installation operation encountered a fatal error:

  Cannot find the image of the installed system.  This is due to the image being not mounted correctly or the CD-ROM not supported.

  The material is a system of handcrafted with Intel DQ35JO Council, latest version of the BIOS, Intel E6850 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 2 SATA drives.  I know this isn't on the list compatible but is a 'white box '.  I installed ESXi 3.5 on it in the past and got it working, and I saw other success stories with this Board/CPU.  Yes, I have activated the virtualization mode in the BIOS and powered down/up.

  Here is what I tried:

  -Redownload VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0 - 260247.x86_64.iso to ensure that it was not corrupt (2 copies, against perfectly)

  --Also tried another drive (IDE) CDROM

  -Created a bootable USB using uNetBootin 4.7.1 and booted from it

  -Switched SATA setting in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE

  I get the same exact error.  I searched here and everywhere and don't find any reference to this error.

  Help - all do you offer for my next step?

  Have you had a previous vSphere installed on your system?

  I had the same error on my 'white box' (in fact, it is black).  I used to run esxi 4.0 (u2) on my Acer X 3300 (6 GB, Quad Core AMD Athlon II).  Controllor internal SATA is not supported, but it allows me to use the box for normal windows task and ESXi is sitting on a SDHC 4 GB flash card.

  When I started my freshly burned ESX4.1 cdrom, I got the same error.   I thought that the fact that maybe there was an existing install on my destination drive (the flash memory card), and that the CD could not perform an upgrade.

  So, I tried the upgrade path (first trying to utility of the host and the .xml error message).  After reading the manual, I did the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 using the device of vMA and I must say that esxi 4.1 works great on my white box.

  Then I suggest that you try upgrading and see how far that gets you.

  Good luck (and a beautiful weekend)

• File level VMWare ESXi VM for Linux on the RDM partition.

  Hi all

  I'm looking and I was wondering if it

  is a VM backup solution that is able to make the backup of my iSCSI SAN

  in the ESXi local data store, which can be automated with the support of

  file-level restore?

  the virtual machine is having a RDM LUN then I may be able to restore a single file where the virtual machine failed or the RDM LUN has been corrupted.

  Any idea or suggestion on how to do it please?

  Thank you.

  AWT

  The RDM LUN must be in virtual mode to use the program to backup to a virtual environment (requiring a snapshot of VMware to work).

  VCB, Veeam Backup, vRanger connection,... can make backup image and image, you may also file level restore.

  Or you can try a solution based on instant storage.

• Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service after the upgrade to VCenter 4.1

  I've started with VCenter 4.0 update online success in 4.1u1

  but now I can not start the service with Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service.

  I did the upgrade online in VCenter 4.1u1 with this iso file VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.1.0 - 345042.iso and now the entire production is declining.

  I use SQL Server 2005 32-bit as the database.

• Impossible to get windows update or microsoft update to work after the factory restore

  I just restored my computer laptop runnung xp sp2 to factory settings and now I cannont get windows update to function (0x8024400A error code) and I can not update microsoft to work (error code 0 x 80240036).  I can access the internet, navigate, dl files etc. just can't get windows updates.  I disabled the firewall and antivirus still cannot operate.  Tried to fix it, SP3, but must for this and I can't seem to install manually.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

  Okay, roll up your sleeves! :-)

  (For best results, download all the Setup files below before you restore your computer to its factory settings. Files can be downloaded or copied to a USB flash drive).
  
  Preliminary work:

  Download the installation files (only if necessary!) SP2, SP3, IE8 and Avira Antivirus (beforehand). I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of four files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2) (Note: you don't need to install SP2 if your home is already SP2 or SP1 even.)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-Free-Antivirus (for FREE of Avira version)

  1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

  2. turn your PC to its factory settings.

  3. remove the PC-Cillin was COMPLETELY (see above).

  4. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  5 install SP2 (only if necessary!). Restart TWICE.

  6. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  8. install anti-virus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  9 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  10 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  11. reactivate the automatic updates.

• VMware ESXi 4 license

  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.
