Installation key main VSphere license via Script PowerCLI

Hi all

With the help of the community, I have reconstitute a build for ESXi 3.5 script (basic free edition). This script works very well with ESXi 4 (VSphere) but I'm stuck on the section that completes the installation of the license key.

The orgional for ESXi 3.5 code segment was this:

$ESXHost = get-VMHost

$ESXHostView = $ESXHost | Get-View

$ESXHostView

$ServiceInstance = view-get-ServiceInstance Server $ESXConnect

$ServiceInstance.Content

$LicManRef = $ServiceInstance.Content.LicenseManager

$LicManView = get-view-server $ESXConnect $LicManRef

$LicServerSource = new-Object VMWARE. VIM LocalLicenseSource.

$LicServerSource.LicenseKeys = '11111-AAAAA-BATH-CCCCC-DDDDD.

$LicManView.SetLicenseEdition($ESXHostView.MoRef,"")

$LicManView.ConfigureLicenseSource($ESXHostView.MoRef,$LicServerSource)

.. .but now the licensing system has changed, we need to do something else.  I checked the new v4.0 reference API and there told me where I can find the key, but I don't know enough to assign automatically.

  • Can not get the eval of vsphere license key

    People,

    Successfully, I registered for an assessment of vSphere with operations management and got my license key "VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.7. When I try to apply this key to my vCenter Server I get the error "license error: 5" "Diagnostic message: not found license file ' (see image). I get this error even when you try to apply this key to my 5.1 ESXi server.

    (Moderator note: capture with screen a.p. deleted license key!)

    I KNOW the license key is not for vsphere, but rather for Operations Manager, but How can I get a trial for vSphere license key? Is it possible to apply the license key that I got to vCenter or should I install the vCenter operations Management unit and apply this license key for this server? The procedure to apply my evaluation license key is NOT FACT CLEAR in all the documentation I've found so far on the assessment of vSphere.

    Could someone PLEASE provide a definitive statement on how to use my provided evaluation license key (see picture) and how to obtain and to correctly apply an evaluation of my vCenter Server license?

    vmware_vsphere_eval_license_2013-06-28.png

    I would be very grateful for any help.


    Thank you.

    Some products require a key for evaluation and others do not. vCenter Server and ESXi running in eval without key mode, but vCOPS requires a key.

    You can use the license on any installation that you like, as long as ensure you that each license is used only once. What you need to do to be completely compatible with the EULA - if you want to use the license with your current configuration - is to install the production environment without adding licenses (i.e. run in eval mode), then migrates virtual machines, withdraw the licenses of pre-production systems and add them to the production system. It is not necessary to republish the keys or something like that, the keys remain the same.

  • 5 vsphere license keys will work on vCenter 4.1?

    My attempts to record the vSphere license keys 5 on vCenter 4.1 failed with the message "License not found error 5 license file.

    Anyone have any idea if this is due to the difference in versions (ie the vsphere licenses 5 on vcenter 4.1)? or is it perhaps something else?

    No, the keys do not work.

    You must connect to Vmware and manage your license, do a downgrade. (you can do an upgrade later)

    You cannot use both licenses at the same time.

  • vSphere Licensing

    I am a student doing a project where I need to develop a virtual infrastructure. I chose VMware since I am more familiar with their products.

    The project includes two sites and a total of 15 people. In the beginning, I chose the vSphere Essentials Plus kit. I have 2 servers on the main site and 1 to the other site. I was going to buy an additional vCenter of license and 2 licenses SRM server. Basically, with the configuration of the infrastructure with the ability to replication on the other site and raise all reviews virtual machines on the server in the other site as a form of DR. The more research I do, the more I see how it is not extensible in the future. I also wonder if it is still possible given the licensing restrictions.

    I did research on vSphere standard edition because I believe that it is probably a better option. I have a few questions about how the licenses work as this edition has more factors involved.

    From my research, this is what I have gathered.

    vSphere Standard edition with basic support is $1715.72 - is that physical price by UC?

    I would also like, more than one instance of vCenter (1 for each site). Do I need to purchase a license additional vCenter, or y at - it a pack containing 2 licenses?

    In addition, in order to have the capacity to DR, would need RS. Do I need 2 licenses of MRS?

    Is anyway to get the price for all this? I was not able to find the price of the additional licenses.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi Welcome to the communities,

    you need a single vSphere Standard/ORL/Ent + per socket/physical CPU license, Yes.

    About MRS. you should take a look at vSphere replication. It is included in all standard vSphere licenses and of better quality. Perhaps it meets your needs, as a SRM license for up to 75 VMs would cost about $7000, I think.

    As you said you are a student, you're doing this project for a University? You may get lower prices then.

    I would contact the commercial service of VMware for the best info:

  • Definition of Orchestrator to execute a script PowerCLI

    What is the best way to implement Orchestrator to run a powerCLI script?

    Hello TheVMinator,

    Here are the first two ways that come to mind for me:

    1. VCO run under Windows - use the 'command' to fall at a command prompt, and then run your scripts PowerCLI from the vCO Server (you can use the method described in this article to access the object of the control: How to execute a PERL Script from a vCenter Orchestrator Workflow)
    2. Install the PowerShell plug-in, configure WinRM, then run your PowerCLI scripts on the remote host that you configured via WinRM (reference: seamless integration with PowerCLI and PowerShell plugin |) VMware vCenter Orchestrator Blog - VMware Blogs)
  • Run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

    Is it possible to run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

    I want to use the batch with PowerCli orders orders... and I'm stuck on adding entries PowerCli keyboard console.

    You don't need the parameter of hard disk, the hard disk is passed through the pipeline of the cmdlet Get-disk hard.

    If the virtual machine has more than 1 hard drive, you use a Where clause to select the hard drive you want.

    Get-disk hard - VM "MV0857-gastela" |

    where {$_.} Name - eq "Hard Disk 2"} |

    Together-hard drive - CapacityKB 20000000 - confirm: $true

    You can call PowerCLI cmdlets, but be sure to connect all first.

    Something like this for example

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile  "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1"  -command "connect-viserver MyVC | out-null; Get-VM"
    

    Have you set the execution policy for PS?

    Make one

    Get-ExecutionPolicy

    To change you could do

    Game-ExeecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

    Just do it once.

  • Change the 'label' on an active vSphere license?

    All,

    I have a lot of "combined" vSphere licenses groups in vCenter 4.1, I would change the descriptive label on some of the or the vSphere currently loaded in vCenter licenses.

    Cannot do through the UI, I have looked on the tables of database VPX_LIC_ * but don't see anything with the information on the label.  I could go through the center of the license and get the keys to the 'News', but I have to go through several cycles to combine/split to obtain the appropriate keys, too much work.

    Anyone know where this information is stored?  I expect it to be in the same table as VPX_LIC_LICENSES (which is where the license keys are) but no dice.

    Ben

    The label can be changed by going to the page of vSphere vSphere Client licenses, view by product, then developing the object to see its keys.

    Since the key line, click on the label and press F2 to edit the entry (or you can double click on it).

    I've edited all my labels to better describe what they manage (such as Group A, Group B, etc.).

    I was able to do this since vCenter 4.0, tested on 4.1 and it still works fine.

  • How can TV 31RL938 - I find installation key for PC-Windows Media Player

    To watch DVD from PC - Windows Media Center (Windows 8) on my TV (31RL938, without fire related to the internet), I have to do an Extender installation with the Media Center on my PC (the TV symbol is on my PC).
    That's why I have to put in an installation key (8 digits), which should be on my TV / Extender by choosing 'Windows Media Center' here.

    But how can I find it?

    Thanks for the help!

    Gerd

    Have you managed that?

    To my knowledge the two devices; your TV and your PC must be connected to the same network: in my case its home WLan.

    I don t use Media Center, but I made the connection with Windows Media Player.
    Using the Media Player I can listen to the video and music to my TV or stereo receiver...

  • Unable to start an iMac using a USB Installer key 10.11

    I have a late 2012 27 "iMac with Fusion (128 GB + 1 TB) disk.

    The HD went down a few days ago. So I bought a new one (WD 1 TB) + OWC install kit with HD temperature sensor. I followed the HoTo given by OWC, which makes it easy to change the HD.

    The iMac was active with FireVault 10.11.2. When the HD has stopped working, the computer was still able to boot the boot sequence, with the system installed on the SSD, but unable to come to the session window (gray screen with the signal 'no parking').

    When you install the new HD, I still have half of a running system, which is not enough event to run the utility application at first.

    Then, I prepared my USB 10.11 installation key (thanks to DiskMaker), but was able to start the computer with it: the boot sequence was broadcasting until the end of the progress bar, while the iMac restarts, but instead of the installation of the app, he took over a new full boot sequence. And once again. And once again.

    Here are the tips I've tried so far:

    -Boot from USB install key,

    -Boot from an old Yosemite install key,

    -Boot from network (ALT-cmd-R to start).

    -Run 10.11 from a USB key,

    -Start mode single to try to launch a diskutil command, but when it worked, he refused to use this command ("unbleto use of the DiskManagementframework'),

    - And of course, many ALT-cmd-p-r as well.

    I could once come to the installation of the app (10.11) and took the opportunity to erase the SSD, but then the iMac froze. I was able to come later once again soft installation and launch a shell terminal in an attempt to recreate the fuser unit, but it froze again to about 30% of the FD creation.

    Now, the iMac seems to be caught in the trap in a loop of departure and refuses to come to any kind of usable process. I can't even verify the firmware version (but he was already on El Cap, so it shouldn't be the issue). When in single - or - verbose mode, I got some strange lines that say:

    -' previousshutdown cause:-128.

    -' endpointhas been activated through legacy launch (3) API. " "Pleaseswith in XPCnor () bootstrap_check_in: com.apple.ReportCrash.DirectoryService ' or

    -' endpointhas been activated through legacy launch (3) API. " «Please swith to XPCnor bootstrap_check_in(): com.apple.ReportCarsh.dirhelper»

    The reboot occurs just after a last (actually, about 1 minutes after the line appears).

    I'm really upsetnot to be able to simply install El Capitan on my computer after changerthe HD, which I consider a base operation.

    FIXED!

    Long story short: NEVER change the hard drive AND add little RAM of the computer at the same time! I bought 16GbofRAM that I put in the Mac at the same time that I was changing the HD, and it seems that, of which prevented the computer to function properly.

    I suddenly thought that could have some interference and decided to try after removing these 2 pieces or memory. And it worked correctly.

    I could then launch a shell terminal to create the fusion drive, and I have now a new El Capitan, which is waiting for my Time Machine data to restore :-)
