It seems that VSphere Essentials 5.1 running on host 4socket. WTF?

Hi all.

Does anyone know if it is possible for the bulk of work on a host of 4 Sockets?

The question is:

I have 4 sockets Supermicro 4 * 8core procs.

There was a free lincense ESXi, because we ' 3hosts max 2 Sockets of each "restriction in conditions of licence Essentials. And no money for other licenses

However, when I try to change the license essentially bought, it seems that everything is OK. ESXi 5.0 said that host is licensed, 4 procs. 2 are no longer available... WTF? So I can use Essentials on my host? I'll try of course, but perhaps that someone knows more. Will it work?

What host says licensing is attached.

See you soon.

Ilya.

While this may work for now, I would not count on it. Maybe it's just a flaw in the current version and a later patch/upgrade will respect the limit CPU 2 and you will not be able to use/manage the host. According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf the limitation is at least "forced by the EULA" and in addition to the violation of the EULA you may also hurt in case you need help!

  • vSphere Essentials Plus - with no no hosts file information.

    We recently bought Essentials Plus (ESXi4).

    To get working HA, I need to change my hosts file on both servers I use as ESXi4 keeps forgetting to put the hostname after the FULL domain name.

    That is to say, I get:

    x.x.x.x hostname.domain.com

    Instead of

    x.x.x.x hostname.domain.com hostname

    Modification of the file/etc/hosts to fix allows me to turn on HA.

    However.  Whenever I have restart a server, the file loses the game again host name on the rebooted server.

    Is there any solution for this?  Edit the hosts file after every reboot is a pain.

    We are in the installer restart so many phase.

    Why don't you just do your ESXes can be solved by the redundant DNS servers?

  • Windows licensing for vSphere Essentials all Linux virtual machines running

    We offer vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus of application virtualization on a company that currently has 4 servers that run multiple applications under CentOS. The two products are very good values, providing important functionality at a reasonable cost. Yet, society of the end-user has some resistance to the required cost of Windows Server licenses. There is no Windows servers on this network. Even a minimal vSphere Essentials requires usually 3 Windows Server licenses (for the domain controller, vCenter server, and database server) and a SQL server license. Even when using standard licenses, the total cost of these is higher than the cost of the essential elements of vSphere. Other people deploying vSphere Essentials on Linux-oriented networks are finding ways to use a lower number of Windows Server licenses?

    vCenter Linux would be an alternative in such cases, but this project seems to be stalled.

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    If you're only going to do the virtualization of servers (not VMware View) the vCenter Server does not need to be a member of the domain, or you need a separate SQL Server for a small environment. The edition of SQL SERVER 2005 Express (included in the vCenter Server installation) is sufficient.

    While a single license of Windows (more CALs) would do.

  • VSphere essentials 8 cpu cores

    Hi all

    We recently have quote a customer to purchase vsphere essentials with a server that will run 2 processors 6 hearts of each.

    After a month, that the customer has accepted the quote if we order the server, but we noticed it came with 2 CPUs, 8 cores on each. We always evaluate vsphere esxi 4.1 and we haven't bought yet most of license. The reason to upgrade to vsphere essentials was to migrate 3-4 very old physical servers to this new server. No need to HA or vmotion is necessary. We needed an inexpensive way to get rid of these old servers.

    Can someone explain to us what will be the situation if buy us the essentials license and insert it on vsphere? Esxi 4.1 vsphere will continue to operate with limited cpu core feature or it will prevent all our VMs to stop working?

    Thank you

    I can't answer your question with certainty, and I think the only one who can is VMware itself.

    My guess is that it can work, but you're probably violating the EULA.

    What I actually wanted to mention are the fact that some harware like HP providers offer a known BIOS setting 'disable Core processor'. This feature allows to disable some carrots.

    of http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01905798/c01905798.pdf

    When to turn off the processor cores

    While disabling the carrots may seem paradoxical to provide superior performance, there are at least three situations in which the disabling processor cores may be beneficial.

    -Use of power reduction. Disabling the processor cores reduces processor power consumption. If a server is used in an environment that is not heavily dependent on multithreading hearts, by disabling the can reduce energy consumption without significantly affecting performance.

    -Increase overall performance. Some applications take advantage of higher frequency of basis rather than extra processing cores. When Turbo Mode is activated for processors Intel Nehalem, savings on electricity and heat produced by disabling the processor cores allows the remaining sons operate at a higher frequency than their rated speed. In the specific application environments, this could actually increase the overall performance of the system.

    -Meet the licensing issues. Some software are permitted on a basis of by heart. Deactivation of the cores allows an administrator to match the number of active cores on a server with licensing requirements. However, some software that is allowed on a per-core basis may not recognize the deactivation of carrots.

  • Questions about the upgrade to vSphere Essentials

    My group is looking to upgrade our ESXi (free) installation to vSphere Essentials. Before do us, I have a few questions (I tried calling & commercial VMWare email, but no one seems to be there):

    1. We have an existing ESXi to install, and we'll add a 2nd machine to host VMs can I use vCenter (from Essentials) to manage two computers?

    2. Requirements for vCenter status she has 2 CPUs, 4 GB of memory and 3 GB of disk space for up to 50 guests. However, we have 2 guests and we add a 3rd host is far in the future (in years). Can we run vCenter on an existing installation of windows server 2003? We have a server that meets these requirements, but it also makes other tasks (some calculations, files and backup service). Given these lighter constraints, will that be enough to manage our two hosts?

    Memory is a problem I think. But my vCenter with 9 guests and 150 VM a average 2-5% CPU load with 1 quad Xeon, so don't worry is not the CPU.

  • VSphere Essentials Plus Kit vs Standard

    All the

    I need help to make a decision here.  The environment is both physical server (2 CPU each) and they run out of a small local SAN.  I was going to get Essentials more but the problem is that it is around $ 5500 per server physical and that is almost as expensive as the server.  I'm looking for alternatives and I fell on VSphere Standard edition.  Although Essentials Plus has all the Bell and whistle I am looking for, but we can live with HA and vMotion.  The truth is that I can live with 15 minutes of downtime, I just need to know if I should get VSphere Standard edition or even Essentials that I have the opportunity to make a VM if I experience hardware failure?  Thank you in advance.

    Welcome to the community,

    vSphere Essentials Plus Kit comes with a license for an instance of vCenter Server Essentials and 6 CPU license for up to 3 guests with up to 2 processors each. No need to buy a Kit by server.

  • VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

    Hello

    TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

    We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

    We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

    However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

    Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

    Kind regards

    Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.

  • Technical limitations of the server VSphere Essentials?

    I'm running the free VSphere hypervisor and the vSphere Client. It seems that there are a ton of limitations in the free version. So far, I stumbled upon:

    (1) failed to move a virtual machine from one storage location to another

    (2) unable to set "Promiscuous" mode on a network adapter

    The list of documents things which should be available in the client, but did not exist (for example, the tabs together or options). For me it will be continue to occur as I continue to implement my VM.


    I work in a small business environment, but still have needs of which is apparently offered in some of the other products (for example. VMotion, VCenter?). But I use only two virtual machines on a single server with 1 CPU and that's all that I will probably have need for a while. Is there a way that I can know what are the technical limitations? I don't want to buy the product and know that I am still limited.

    Yet when I have the decoding, it says "VMware vSphere Essentials 5 (unlimited cores per processor).   To which I replied "uh..." Yes?... and...? "

    What is going on?  Thank you.

    It runs vCenter but with a different license. With Essentials (more), you get 2 licenses:

    -> 5 vsphere Essentials (more) operating licence (3 guests) on the host

    -> vCenter Server Foundation (host 3) license for the vCenter Server

    So, get hold of the other licence and you will see that it works.
