License question - do need me a VSAN license for all hosts in a cluster?

I have a 6 host cluster exist using the VSphere Essentials Plus package with a single server VCenter. Can I buy x VSAN 3 licenses, for example to add the storage to the 3 hosts I have install the VSAN license on and access the VSAN of the 3 other hosts in the cluster data store? (Assuming only 1 CPU for each host.)

Thank you!

Hi Daniel,.

Since Virtual SAN is activated at the level of a cluster, all cluster hosts can consume storage since the virtual SAN data store regardless of how many guests contribute to storage. So to answer your question, you need all 6 hosts in your cluster license, even though only 3 of them contributed storage.

Also note that the licenses are per CPU so in your scenario if each host has 2 CPUs, you need a total of 12 CPU licenses. I hope this helps.

    Centralize your license and place the single .lic file on your license server.  For me, it's easy to try to deal with the unique license files.

  • 1 program still needs to be closed: (waiting for) task host window's task to stop execution and stopping tasks that are already running

    While the closure of the pc I got the message: "1 program still needs to be closed: (pending of) task host window's task to stop execution and stop tasks that are already running".but there is no program running and I have to force it to close.how to solve?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified
    If you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:
    Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.
    Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.

  • Having trouble getting Windows media player to recognize and extract some burned CD when I insert the CD, nothing comes up on the tab extract. I have licenses for all the protected songs and the same CD was ripped in the past by using media player.

    My computer has a virus and before I wiped it's own, I copied all my files to blank CD I was able to extract these CDs on my computer but they are in the WMA format and I want them in MP3 format. I changed the rip settings but when I put in the CD Ripper re - it, nothing comes tab extract. I tried to delete all the files in windows media player and my computer but media player doesn't always recognize the CD tab extract. I have restored my music files from the bin to WMA, but I really need to extract the songs in MP3 format. What can I do to get Windows to recognize and tear my CD? Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Make sure that there is no CD in the CD drive. Then, go to Options - confidentiality of WMP and click the button Clear the Caches . Restart WMP, and insert a CD you want to re - rip. Are you able to rip the CD now?

    If it still does not work, you can try to rip the CD from another user account (if necessary, create a new user account in the control panel). Afterwards, you can move the files ripped to MP3 to your own original account. Tim Baets

  • PowerCLI need to define global attributes on the hosts

    PowerCLI need to define global attributes on the hosts... Please, I beg you. ESXi4.

    The name is easy in the user interface as long as it applies to all hosts in the global inventory, but I want to be able to set or change the value of the attribute on a per host-level or a cluster.

    Thanks for any help!

    I have

    To create global custom attributes that you use

    New-CustomAttribute -Name MyCustomAttribute
    

    To set a global custom attribute for the hosts, you can use

    New-CustomAttribute -Name MyCustomAttribute -TargetType VMHost
    

    If you want to set or change the value of the attribute for a specific host, you can do

     Set-CustomField -Name MyCustomAttribute -Value "MyValue" -Entity (Get-VMHost )
    

    If you want to change the value for all hosts in a cluster, you can do

    Get-Cluster  | Get-VMHost | Set-CustomField -Name MyCustomAttribute -Value "MyValue"

  • License question: with the help of two "Standard Edition" licenses for > 8 vCPU by host

    Hi, I've been reading place on it for a few hours and would like to get confirmation here.  I have

    -a physical host: dual processor, 8 cores per processor

    -multiple licenses VSphere 5.0 Standard edition

    -VCenter 5.0 Enterprise Edition

    I want to distribute the VM with 12 vCPU and I expect to consume two licenses Standard Edition - one for each CPU, for a total of 12 vCPU.  When I try to do using VCenter I get error "virtual machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8.»  "The number of virtual processors can be limited by the OS selected for the guest virtual computer or licensing for the host."

    I think that it is a license restriction because on the same host, the VSphere evaluation has authorized the deployment of a 12 virtual machine using RHEL 6.3 vCPU.  I checked later vCPU on evaluation copy function and it was 32 channels for it proves that it is not a BONE or a physical problem.  I think I downloaded an evaluation of the 'norm' rather 'Enterprise', but I am not sure.

    I read compare VMware vSphere editions and the 'Standard' column has CPU line: "CPU 1" and line vCPU: '8 - way '.  This makes me think that, for each new license, I should have a CPU with up to 8 cores.  that is by consuming two licenses, I use 2 CPU and up to 16 cores.

    I also read the EULA VMware multi-core pricing and Licensing Policy , and he said:

    Software licenses with six (6) cores per processor

    It does not say "with hearts of six (6) software licenses by host '

    The following excerpt from the EULA is the only evidence that I could find to support the conclusion that for Standard Edition, the maximum number of vCPU for each host is 8 (regardless of the number of licenses consumed);
    Combines VMware licenses on a single host software. Licensing policy allows combining the even on software licenses uniprocessor.

    Someone can confirm the limitation and is there something obvious that I missed to compare VMware vSphere editions.  The difference between host and per processor is huge, I'm surprised that it is ambiguous.

    Thank you

    Diarmuid

    Looking at this picture, it is said that you need 1 VMware Standard license per physical processor that your host has.  Down the chart to the vCPU, who said that a VM can have at most 8 vCPUs (for Standard).  Isn't 8 vCPUs per license, which is 8 vCPUs total.

    The demo version is licensed Enterprise Plus and develops of vCPU 32 on a virtual machine.

  • Need me another license for my rebuilt rig?

    I plan to upgrade my OS hosted WinXP 32 bit PT Win 7 Pro 64 bit. I need more RAM and although my mobo allows me up to 8 GB, my OS (Windows XP 32-bit) limit myself to 3 concerts. Upgrade to Win7 Pro 64 bit will allow me to use up to 8 GB of RAM. Later date however after that I have saved enough for a new rig, I plan on upgrading my hardware (motherboard, CPU, RAM, HD, etc.). My question is: can I use the same license for my PC refurbished? Or do I have to flat for a new license?

  • Can I buy a subscription for all 13 x holders of license to use, or what I need to buy individual?

    Just learned that Adobe has bought his own images.

    Would like to purchase a subscription, get the discounted rate, as it already has a Cloud Creative customer with 13 x licenses.

    If I buy a subscription can all 13 x members, use the package or what I need to purchase separate subscriptions?

    Terrible website with no client in charge of aid, I want to buy from you!

    Hi Steven,

    According to our records, you have the CC license team. Thus, you must purchase 13 separate licenses for each seat that you have. You cannot share the subscription with someone else.

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!
