Investigation to migrate from VMware

Hello

I introduce myself, I am system administrator in a town hall in France and speak directly, I understand very little English

I run a Windows and now 4 ESX version 3.5 with a VitualCenter servers environment

This is my first post on your forum

I have several questions

I have a version of VMware ESX 3.5 with 4 servers ESX and vCenter server

Question 1)

You have to migrate to 3.5 Update04 rather than migrate to 4.0 (vSphere) is that the update is included in the maintenance of VMware?

Question 2)

Having no resources available in France for the migration to 4.0 (vSphere), it is difficult to do? How to upgrade my license?

Is there a particular method to apply?

Question 3)

If I just update my esx version 3.5 servers Update04 is possible to do it in stages? As a first step to update my VirtualCenter and continue to use my esx normally and then update my esx servers a few days later?

We have obligations of production and it is difficult to do everything in one operation

Thanks in advance

Oops. . misread responded on the upgrade process. . do not license. .. Sorry

  • Migration from VMware to USB RAID array

    Current configuration: HP N54L Microserver, P410 RAID card, 3 partitions, each 1 VMware datastore.

    VMware runs from a USB, installed from VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-HP-5.72.27-Feb2014.iso.

    Datastore1 contains virtual machines.  Datastore3 contains a data reader to one of the virtual machines.  Datastore2 is not used.

    Can I install VMware for a current HP specific image to the partition currently containing Datastore2 without losing my VMs on 1 and 3 data warehouses?

    Thank you!

    Oh now I understand! Logical drives separate are separate as readers for ESXi (and any other OS). So if you take the right one for ESXi, the last two must remain intact.

    I did this once (two logical drives on raid-controller) simple installation and did not know what is happening, so I backed up all virtual machines off site. But only the logical drive that I picked up for ESXi installation has been re-partitioned.

  • Migrate from VMware Guest Server that contains the database of VIC in the new VMware host

    Hi, I inherited a system running ESX 3.0.1. The CIV is running on a stand-alone server, but the database resides on a guest on one of the VMware hosts. I need to move/migrate the vmware client to another server so I can use it. How can I migrate because if I try I'll lose the connection to the database?

    I can not just to right and migrate because servers have different CPUs. I can first.

    Sorry if this is a newbie question.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    do not convert.  This will leave the original intact. Once it comes online and has been validated, you can destroy the old.   In addition, do if offline.

  • Migration from VmWare Workstation to a server solution

    I am running 8 virtual machines of Windows XP inside VMWare Workstation on Windows 2008 (which I use as a workstation) in a box of Quad Core with 8 GB RAM.

    My plan is to move the virtual machines of Windows XP on a separate server and possibly add a bit more to their number. I would also like to migrate the server functions of the current WIn2k8 box on that same server. These functions are the portion of light file, very lightweight SQL server and a few other minor services.

    I am happy with VMWare Workstation and in particular the VMWare Tools application, because it makes the Windows XP virtual machines as reagent as if they were not VMs. It is important that after the migration, the virtual machines are as sensitive as they are now, given that I have would be to connect to them via ethernet to a Vista/Windows 7 machine by any means is the best (Office distance or something else).

    I would like to know what solution I should opt for, I think that the options are either ESX/ESXi (what is the difference here?) - am I right that the best way to buy, as part of VMWare Server or VMware vSphere - 1.x on WIndows Server.

    I have no requirements of availability/redundancy.

    This means that ESX has a management console - what is a Linux kernel, you can perform operations as if you were on a Linux machine.

    ESXi uses a very small SSH server and officially there is no way to interact with the machine on the console - everything is done by outside

    They give the same ESX features no matter what version you use, just to manage that you need to do differently.

    Of course ESX/ESXi works that on some hardware - there is a HCL and also a community supported the list machines that are capable of runnning ESXi, but are not supported by VMware.

    VMware server - can run on practically a Windows y / OS Linux

    Good luck to you ventures!

  • migration of VMware

    Hello

    I have a question of rapid migration of vmware.

    We install a new server r420 dell poweredge at a customer site. It's
    replacement of a dell poweredge r310 server running vmware 4.0. It is managed
    VMware vcenter server at Headquarters.

    If I do the new r420 managed by vcenter as well and make a host-to-host
    migration, he will try to remove the virtual machines from the link to the head office
    and then back down to the new server? With the virtual machines being about 200 GB I have
    don't want that pass the link as his "only adsl speed.

    Thank you

    Daniel.

    Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  The host will communicate directly with them to migrate the virtual computer.  You'll just want to make sure that the two hosts each other can ping the IP address or the host name by which they are registered in vCenter.

  • migration from Outlook Express loses everything after 'group '.

    Hello
    I migrated from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on XP, then moved the files to Windows 8.
    I had a 'group' in my OE address book. Nothing after that that group name (which began with an H) has been migrated to the new address book. In other words, I lost everything after H.

    I also have these contacts on Gmail. Y at - it an easy way recover of EO (I guess I could remove the Group and start over, but it's a long process and I'm afraid to lose the mail I already sent on tuberculosis), or y at - it an easy way to get from gmail?

    Thank you.

    S

    There are several solutions to your problem, which is the best for you which I do not pretend to know.

    There is the possibility of simply to copy the WAB to outlook express for Windows 7 and double click it to him bringing in the windows contacts folder. I have instructions here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html that include the Windows Contacts folder in Thunderbird.

    Alternatively, you can install one of the Add-ons to gmail contact sync. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/google-contacts

    Hello luckyduck, as is the case with xmarks too, the overwhelming majority of the addons is not created by mozilla, but by independent third-party developers. so if you want to know if it is planned an extension for firefox on android porting or have other requests for features, please communicate with the developers involved directly in order to get a better answer. Thank you for your understanding!

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6c45se: migration from hard drive to ssd

    Dear Sir / Madam
    I'm about to migration from HDD to ssd on my laptop.
    Now the question is: is my motherboard support sata 3?
    My laptop computer product name: HP Pavilion dv6-6c45se Entertainment Notebook PC

    My product number phone: A7P17EA #ABV
    I'll be glad if you help me
    Thank you

    Probably not with a 2d gen i5 processor, but it does not matter. It will support an SSD SATA-III, even if the SSD transfer is limited to SATA-II. It will always be very, very fast and you will never see no practical difference. Download the SSD, you will not be sorry. Let us know if you need help most.

  • Move photos on external hard drive after migrating from iPhoto to Photos

    I have a lot of photos and have you run out of space on my MacBook.  After doing some reading, I discovered that I should be bale to move my library to an external hard drive, then the point of Photos to run from the external hard drive.

    I have recently updated to El Capitan, and as part of this upgrade that my photos have been migrated from iPhoto to the Photos.  I just checked the current location of my library and I found two.  One is named Photo library and which resembles the pictures one use which makes sense.  However, I also have a file called iPhoto library and it is listed as a library migrated under file type.

    My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

    My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

    Yes, if you want to free up your internal disk storage moving two libraries of the iPhoto library you have migrated your external drive and the new library of Photos.

    The two libraries share the storage for the original images and previews.  As long as one of the libraries is always on the internal disk and using storage, storage is not released: see: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    Drag the two libraries to your external drive, then double click the pictures library to open it in photos and test it. Once you are convinced that the copied library works well, you can delete the original in the internal drive.  Do the same for the copied iPhoto Library if you have installed iPhoto.

  • I'm trying to migrate from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, with all updates.

    original title: sharing fails file of Windows XP Home edition

    I'm trying to migrate from W2K to Windows XP Home edition (Pro/SP3 with all current updates from today ' hui).  My network has several computers with the help of a working group.  I noticed that WXP defines what is called "Simple file sharing" (SFS) that did not exist in W2K.  However, I think that my W2K installation was equivalent to what we call SFS.  What I shared with readers and only granted the permission reading for everyone.  My migration technique involves the use of multiple bootable media to create the Windows XP Home edition system without changing anything on W2K systems.  The I want to share files on separate partitions of the system drive / start / we.  These data partitions are the same drive letters on all systems.  Sharing works as expected in all cases, except that the new system of Windows XP Home edition won't file to other systems (clients).  All client systems receive the same result which is a message access denied as follows:

    \\computer_name\share_name is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  ...

    Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

    On the new system that is unable to use the files, the event log contains a message that says the following:

    The "irpstacksize" server configuration setting is not enough for the server to use a local device.  Please increase the value of this parameter.

    I found a number of items on this site about IRPStackSize.  An inspection of all computers reveals this registry key is not set on any of my systems.  This includes the W2K running on the same computer systems that are capable of serving the same files that fail on Windows XP Home edition, with no problems.  Any of those articles gives no justification for what is an appropriate use for the IRPStackSize value.  Moreover, some articles describe a situation where arbitrarily increase the size works for a short period, but does not seem to be a sustainable solution.  In addition, there is a range of valid values, and some articles describe that max is achieved without solving the problem.

    Therefore, I am skeptical about the idea that there is a real solution.  Can anyone provide an explanation on why specifying a key IRPStackSize is going to help (or not)?  If Yes, what is the right value?

  • New (?) Patch Windows 7 can break up from VMware

    I have no idea if this would affect any of us, but for those of us who run Windows 7 and using the Simulator, there is apparently a fix for Windows which can break up from VMware.

    I never put my automatic update machines, so I'm covered for now, but if you have updates automatically applied, take this into account and if you notice new problems, you can try to do a restore to cancel the patches.  Or wait to see if any other information comes to this subject.

    It is not only related to VMware View software? I read the article and it doesn't seem to affect VMware player, doest it?

    In all cases, the VMware article on which already points to an update.

    See you soon
