• esxi free upgrade to VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Hi we are a small company with a new 1 and 1 old server sent us this question for the Department sales of vmware but have had no response.

  We have two questions we hope that someone has had a few experiences with.

  Currently we use free on our new server esxi5 if we buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  1. is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  2 if we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  It would be much cheaper than the use of VMware vSphere Essentials Kit pro and seems to do the same job.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community!

  Is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  Yes enter vSphere Essentials Kit License keys will unlock the applicable for this Kit features, re - install ESXi will be not be held

  If we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  vSphere Essentials Kit inclused vStorage APIs for Data Protection so you should be good to use the third-party data protection software

• The question whether to install Wins 2012 R2 before installing VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5?

  I'm new with VMware.  I have a DELL T420 server without an operating system in it.  I have a question, this first step, I need to install Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter to my server DELL T420, then the next step I will download the upgrade to VMware vsphere Hypervisor 5.5 2, is that correct?   I thank in advance for your advice.

  1. you must first download ESXi (hypervisor) and install it on your server.

  : Refer:vSphere 5.5 - How to install and configure VMware ESXi 5.5 - YouTube

  2. once the ESXi installation is successful, you can create a VM and then install windows 2012 R2 in this virtual machine as GOS.

• You can run Citrix Xendesktop on VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor?

  Hello

  I was wondering if you can run Citrix Xendesktop on VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor free version that does not VCenter.

  And can upgrade you VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor to Vsphere upgrade without losing existing virtual machines running on Vsphere Hypervisor?

  Not sure about your first question.

  But the second question is a definite yes: simply type in a key license and she.  No resettlement, no lost of virtual machines, without interruption.

• VMWare vSphere 4 hypervisor ESXi 4.1 - can buy upgrade to 4.1 Patch 11 again?

  Hi guys

  I have a x 3650 M2 aging IBM server running the free version of vSphere 4 Hypervisor ESXi 4.1.0 260247.

  I'm looking to install esxi version 4.1 Patch11.

  I have a few questions:
  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  Kind regards

  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  Yes, but a backup is always recommended.

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  You can download it for free here: https://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  According to VMware HCL, your x 3650 M2 IBM server is compatible with the latest version of ESXi:

• Upgrade VMWare ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.0.0

  Hello

  Is it possible to upgrade 398348 for the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor, the free version of VMWare ESXi 4.0.0?

  
  How would I go all upgrade without losing the virtual machines that are currently in the data store?

  VMware ESXi hypervisor and share binaries of same exact. It is only the license key that locks or unlocks various features. Then switch between editions is basically just replace the license key.

  Because the binaries are the same for all editions, for example the 4.1 version update procedure is the same too. Just follow the link DSTAVERTS the Guide to upgrade (search for vihostupdate).

• VMware Vsphere HA (problem of storage in common) and problem of band network bandwidth

  Hi all

  I am setting up VMware VSphere HA on ESXI 6.0

  I have 5 hosts running, each host has 2 management networks main network 1 vMotion and 1 network card for balancing with the management network. (each NIC 1Gbit uplink)

  I also attached to each card a FC (Fiber Channel) connected to HP 3PAR storage.

  each host have 1 TB or 2 TB Fiber Channel-attached storage.

  When I was setting up the AP he stated that he did not have any shared how storage can I allow other hosts to see each store data as a shared storage. NB: when I go vsphere client to web I see all the storage of each host.

  I also want to allow FT on a virtual machine, I have also a problem of bandwidth insuffisent or something. .

  also, I enabled fault tolerance on each NIC attached to the host.

  also another question: should I export volumes (LUNS) to all hosts in the AP? (in fact I exported each volume to each host separately) for example:

  Volume 1: HP3PAR_ESX1 exported to HOST ESX1

  Volume 2: HP3PAR_ESX2 exported to the ESX2 HOST

  Volume 3: HP3PAR_ESX3 exported to ESX3 HOST

  .. .etc

  can you me clear on this issue or guide me to where I can solve these problems please.

  When I try to activate the FT on the VM I the following warning attached

  This message was edited by: coolirc attached image FT problem

  There are memory FT requirements compatible VM is through two virtual, primary and secondary computers. so it will consume the same amount of resources of both ESXi hosts.

  VM with 10 GB of RAM allocation, turn on FT booking VM is now 10 GB RAM, so 10 GB + VMkernel consumption General host running primary VM and same amount of the host that is running with secondary VM. on top of this admission control in support of the failures of host we are going to tolerate so say primary VM host fails, then secondary VM becomes the new primary and triggers a new high school to be created and powered in one of the other host survivor in your HA cluster but which will be successful only when you have sufficient resources available to satisfy a reservation.

  your source host has 16 GB of RAM and one of the destination host also got 16 GB of RAM, so if you try to activate pi after disabling admission control on your cluster policy, I think that it should allow you to activate FT without errors. [if it still does not work so if possible, turn off all other virtual machines for free resources or to try to reduce their reservation manually if they are running with a reservation and try again.]

  with admission control, the necessary resources would be even higher.

  screenshot of Cluster summary reports that you have 4 guests in it and the memory resources available about 30 GB to 60 GB total memory. But isn't always the right figure, if you go to the monitor-> book resources, is where you will find actual "ready reserve", it's the right amount of reserve memory that you will be able to use across several virtual machines, you run in your cluster.

  I tried 2 vCPU vm FT in vSphere 6, works very well, but never tried with Hardware version 8, in your case, your virtual machine is hardware version 8, although I'm not sure if it is mandatory to have the hardware version 11 VM for FT so ideally it should work, but virtual hardware version if possible vm upgraded to 11.

• Manager update of VMWare vSphere is short on space

  Since a few days receive alert as "VMWare vSphere update manager runs out of space. '
  If you can see from the snapshot 2, some records are present under U:/VMware-UpdateManager/Patches /.
  What to delete? Any recommendation?

  I would suggest not to delete what anyone from the repository of vmware. And if you have deleted the Update Manager will be re - download. Quite possible.

  Also I have seen is not not possible to delete: vSphere Documentation Center

  I suggest you to change the path to a bigger drive, or extend the drive where the patches are saved in order to avoid any interruption in your current environment.

• Advanced of environment VMware vSphere, Esxi 5.5

  Amigos,

  Hoy estoy again the comunidad publicando post para buscar UN knew consejo y experiencia en VMware, el tema hoy are the advanced of una environment in una plataforma VMware vSphere a c the tabla that take the environment as sebo corregir:

  Assets	Trend	Assets
  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 Build 1331820	Vuln	via the ssl Protocol

  Against a respond of problemas mi sort el KB (2076665) of VMware pero este habla no estoy seguro TR este o los KB dries alli sugeridas son los correct esta environment expuesta in tabla anterior, ahora reach a ser este KB el correcto than tiendo as debo hacer lo are:

  1 Descargar los patches 'ESXi550-201404001'y'ESXi550-201404020'.

  2 Subirlos a VMware Update Manager para con esta posteriormente instalarlos in los host.

  3 el orden para los patches apply are "ESXi550-201404020" Primero y luego "ESXi550-201404001".

  4 Reiniciar el host y corregida the environment would be.

  Note: también me indican no delpierre fornuis has version VMware vSphere 5.5 U1 lo contrario is a the environment encontrarme y tendría than corregirla again.

  Dudas:

  1 Este so are el KB correcto para correcion of the environment?

  2 Esta TR are training (orden) to apply los patches?

  3. are cierto no delpierre fornuis has version 5.5 U1?

  Of photos gracias por su colaboracion acostumbrada tan.

  Te refieres has the environment of software of Open SSL reciente. Answering intento a tus dudas.

  Runs following comandos y dime if the version of ESXi e tienes informs are certainly the're (5.5.0 1331820). If so esa version is bajo the environment:

  # vmware - vl

  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820

  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 GA

  
  

  OpenSSL 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f (included) are vulnerable

  Ahora el comando siguiente para ver the version of Open SSL runs there if sale you esta version, estas in riesgo:

  
  

  # OpenSSL version-

  OpenSSL 1.0.1e February 11, 2013

  built: kills Feb 26 16:34:26 PST 2013

  
  

  In fact, if you appears otra SSL version ten in a hotel that also can be vulnerable. Son todas las versiones 1.01 has the 1.0.1f. ASI del example, than ESXi 5.5 seria para el. build 1331820, veras are the 1.01e y por lo tanto tiene el problema.

  Sabido esto entonces you respondo a tus dudas:

  1) if, el KB than indicas soluciona el problema of the software environment.

  VMware KB: Solve OpenSSL software for ESXi 5.5 - CVE - 2014 - 0160

  Not continue TR cerebro VMware Update Manager (desconozco if lo tienes wont y configurado), are themselves encargara descargar los parches internet host el y tenerlos in vCenter would para ser desplegados in el el. Además VMware Update Manager hara el instalacion than sea preciso orden.

  Te recommend that cuando tengas a rato arrows UN ojo a Update Manager y prueba alguna do. Te gustara.

• What are the steps to upgrade to vCenter/vSphere Essentials Plus 5.0 to vCenter/vSphere 5.5 Standard?

  We currently have VMWare Essentials Plus on 3 hosts, with 2 processors each. We wanted to add 2 more ESX host, so we improved our standard for vCenter/vSphere license to version 5.5. We try to find the best possible route to install 5.5 on the hosts and upgrade the server vCenter Server with our new version of the granting of licenses and software. The best initial step would be to apply the new license in the current framework 5.0 hosts and vCenter server and then upgrade the software 1 by 1? Or apply the new license to our current Server vCenter, pgrade to 5.5 server and then upgrade each host? Our Dell Rep gave me this guide (updated for VMware vSphere, Cloud Computing for companies of all sizes |) United States) and mentioned if we need assistance, contact VMWare.

  Any guidance would be appreciated.

  5.0 and 5.5 must use the same keys. Then start by adding the new license key to your vCenter server then you are able to manage more than 3 guests.

  Next step would be to update the server vCenter to 5.5 so it can handle actually 5.5 hosts.

  Subsequently you would update the hosts.

  Host licenses can also be replaced at any time during this process, because they are also specific 5.x version.

  Theoretical you could even stay on 5.0 and simply replace licenses if they are not a sort of special license keys.
