Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

Solution:

You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.

    Yes, you can copy the Virtual Machine to it or use to try a snapshot to take/remove or use it as the destination when using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone.  Search the Forum that this was widely covered before.

  • Behavior of ESX/ESXi with standard or free license on HW with more than 6 core

    I am wonderig what happens if I run an ESX license on processor with the core of more than 6.

    For example after the Installation of ESX on an OCTO-Core processor HW, what happens after insert a license that is not advanced or Enterpise Plus key.

    I run VM using only 6 of the 8 main? or the system prevents me to start a virtual machine due to the limitation of the basis of my license?

    The limitation of the base would be the license include all of the physical cores. It is different from the standard or free license which gives you 4 SMP (max 4 vCPU simultaneously).

    If you use advance or company, then the licence would be only to see max 6 cores processors and ignore the other 2 hearts. You can still use your virtual machine as usual. =)

  • How to create drop down menus in Muse with more than two tabs

    The widget menu pullsown does only two tabs. How do you do this more than two tabs?

    By default, the tabs in the menu widget are generated in Muse based on the site map, that you define in outline view. This is configurable based on the Menu type setting you choose in the options Menu If you wish, only, upper level pages subpages too or manual. So in order to add a third menu tab, you simply add a third upper level page.

    I would like to know if it's not what you're looking for and what exactly you're trying to reach.

  • Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

    I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

    Environment:

    Dell Poweredge T620

    E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

    40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

    ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

    Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

    Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

    Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

    The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

    5.5 of VMware ESXi

    ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

    5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

    Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

    Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

    Thanks for all the help!

  • Create the virtual machine to the second virtual disk

    I use ESXi 4.0 and PowerCLI 4.0u1.  I have a virtual machine with two drives, disk-drive-1(1)(a) and 1 and.  On the first disc, I have my dev tools, where I create my virtual application and put it on the second drive.  Now, I want to create a virtual machine with only the second disc, disc-1(1)(a).  How can I go about it?

    There are new VAPP cmdlets in PowerC LI 4u1, but I'm not sure that they will allow you to do what you want.

    Otherwise have a look at VMware Studio 2

    To use $_. Name or $_. Name of the file depends on what you specify in the $hdName variable.

    I gave the label, such as "Disk 1" device, while you've probably used the path of the real as data store "[datastore] folder1/vm.vmdk.

    Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

  • Create a virtual machine with Maximum carrots ESXi has?

    I someone told me that VMware does not support to create a virtual machine with more than 50% of the available cores has your host. For example, I have an ESXi host with 2 CPU each with 8 cores. I have therefore 16 cores on my host. I wouldn't be able to create a virtual machine with 8 cores to be supported. Even if I am able to create a virtual machine with 16 cores? Is this person crazy me

    This is completely untrue, there is no such limitation. If your license allows, you can use vCPUs as much as your physical host has available threads and as the VM virtual hardware version allows.

  • I need help to create a virtual machine - I am new to virtualization.

    Hello

    I am new to virtualization and I chose the merger.  I have a hard drive from a Dell died in a USB enclosure.  I have also the XP restore disks.  Can I create a virtual machine from this? Converter?

    Hello

    No, you can't legally. Your Windows XP has an OEM license that connects the OS for the DELL died. If you ask MS then the Windows operating system died with the DELL...

    Is this fair? Not IF you ask me. Can you work around it? Maybe... but its going to be a long and painful process.

    Restore XP disks have the same problem... basically... you can always try it, but I fear that you will not be able to activate the operating system because it is related to DELL hardware.

    You will need a version of windows not OEM to install on the merger (or any other virtualization product, this is a Microsoft limitation, not a virtualization)

  • Virtual PC - create new virtual machine snap into button appears not

    I installed virtual PC and having the image in XP mode works on Win 7 64 bit on a Dell Optiplex 990 i5 processor.  However when I choose the Manager of Windows Virtual PC and the Windows Explorer window opens, I see not the option create a virtual machine, just 'burn' where it should be.

    I tried to activate windows 7 aero UI think the classic look of windows blocked somehow but that has no effect.

    I tried to reinstall the configuration of virtual machine directly on the site but it gives me the message that there is not suitable for use.  I tried uninstalled and re - install, but get the same when the Explorer window is missing the snap.

    How can I get the snap in option seem to create a virtual drive?  The window appears with the title of Virtual Machines.

    Once again, the image in XP mode work properly and starts and stops without any problem.

  • create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

    I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

    I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

    is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

    I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

  • API to create a Virtual Machine without using a model

    I see the GUI documentation how to create a virtual machine without a model, but I can't find the actions of the API how to build the virtual machine based on custom settings (CPU, memory, OS, etc.), there are a only of the shares how instantiate OVF or vAppTemplate. Could you please tell is possible to generate/create the VM without model or OVF by API?

    I see. Thanks for the background.

    Based on my notes there is no such API. Other applications were similar to this one and the solution suggested in this case is to programmatically create an OVF (describing the configuration of the VM to instantiate) and import it into the vDC. The end result is the same (i.e. an empty VM configured by entries) the difference is how it gets instantiate (created from zero Vs described in the OVF and imported).

  • can not clone or create a virtual machine for vsandatastore

    Hi all

    I try to clone a virtual machine to vsandatastore. But I get the follow error:

    -> policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records.

    -> failed to create the object:

    The hardware configuration is:

    I/o Controller: LSI SAS9271-8i

    HARD DRIVE: ST91000640SS

    SSD:Intel SSSDSC2BA400G3

    10GE: Intel 82599

    When I create a virtual machine or create a file vsandatestore on the web client. I also see the same error.

    Could someone give me some suggestions? I do not know how to solve this problem.


    Thank you!

    > Policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records

    This means that all three nodes in the cluster is not participating in the storage. Check if all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup and contributing to the storage

    default vsan strategy is 1 failure to tolerate what creates two replicas. so that you can either ensure that all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup or create a vm storage policy replacing the default values

    Thank you

  • Create the virtual machine with the ISO mounted CDROM

    Community of hell!

    Working on the vmcreate.pl script to add the creation of CD-ROM with iso data store, I got stuck on the error

    ' Invalid device configuration: ' VirtualSCSIControllerOption.numSCSICdroms '.

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, or this option but may not understand how to deliver this.

    I created a cdrom as follows (below test I create any CDROM, no iso file to reduce the number of layers):

    my $ BPPRR m_backing_info = VirtualCdromRemotePassthroughBackingInfo->new)

    deviceName = > ' '.

    exclusive = > 0,

    );

    my $description = description->new(label = > 'CDROM', summary = > 'cdddrom');

    my $connectable = VirtualDeviceConnectInfo->new(allowGuestControl = > 1,)

    connected = > 0,

    startConnected = > 1,

    ( State = > inmates ' / ' );

    my $ BPPRR m = VirtualCdrom->new(backup = > $BPPRRm_backing_info,
