Make a-bit-to-bit copy of ESXi 5.1

I have a 5.1 ESXi installed on a HP Server that includes several virtual machines and virtual appliances. I looking for a way that I can make a bit-to-bit copy of entire 5.1 ESXi and deploy it to another server HP with exactly the same material, I need all my virtual machines and virtual appliances work properly like the ESXi host original...?

Unfortunately, some information will change because you are again moving material IE CPU ID, but most of the information remains the same, but it is easier to recover if you need, but please note that this will not have an impact on the functioning of the virtual machine.

You can keep the UUD, when you turn on the virtual machine on the new esxi server, just select keep / I moved it VM.  Here is more information on VMware KB: change or keep a UUID for a VM moved

  • Makes 32-bit is better for the battery backup?

    Original title: I got windows 7 32-bit professional to give above 4 hrs battery backup. And now I have installed the 64-bit but backup is about 3 hours. Makes 32-bit is better for the battery backup?

    Don't really know why it happened then... Should I switch to 32 bit? What is the best?

    There should be no significant difference in energy between 32-bit and 64-bit, you will need to check your settings of power and performance.

    As for which is better, it depends on two basic points. 1 do you really use all that needs or benefits of 64 bit, not a lot of programs don't. Second, how much memory is installed. 32 bit is limited to 4 GB native but about 3.2 GB of technical limit. However, 64-bit requires more memory base so in fact will help only if you have more than 4 GB

  • No. 64 - bit guests in ESXi 4.0 on IBM x 336?

    Hello

    I just installed ESXi 4.0 on an IBM server xSeries 336 for a test environment. Specifically, I've had this machine for this purpose to the requirement in mind that ESXi 4.0 runs only on compatible CPUs 64 bit. And ESXi 4.0 installed correctly on this server (and also I booted Windows PE x 64 the to successfully for a trial).

    Now when I try to create a 64-bit on her client, she says always that this host is not able to run the 64-bit clients. I missed something?

    I'm now reading it may have to with VT... is there a Xeon EM64T processors that don't have VT? And why do I need VT to run 64-bit clients but not for 32-bit clients?

    Kai - Uwe

    The problem is that the 336 series has VT

    Hi davidc21010281,

    You can try the DC Acrobat Adobe Acrobat download free trial | Acrobat Pro DC. Where you can create a secure PDF file (using Acrobat|) Securing PDF files with passwords) & send them to your customers (send and track online documents |) Tutorials Adobe Acrobat DC), on the other end, customers can download the PDF but they would need the password/certificate in order to open the PDF file.

  • How update the local copy of ESXi of VMware tools?

    Our two ESXi servers have version 8.0.1 of the VMware tools on the local drive (vmfs/volumes / < ID > packages/5.0.0/vmtools), but the current version is 9.0.

    Right now, I manually downloaded copies of the tools directly to the host of the virtual computer, but how to update local copy of ESXi disk? I was going to just crush the 8.0.1 files, but I noticed there is a manifest file as well, which contains a large number of version numbers and I didn't break anything. Is there a way with support update installers the?

    VM tools are retro-compatible, so it should work. I recommend however, as you will introduce a manual process you need to manage and I did not belive you will have any advantage by doing so. the complexity more you add, the greater the risk of things go wrong.

    I however would patch the hosts to the latest version and using the tools provided with this version.

    For more information on the hosts patching of the command line, see this link below;

  • 32-bit version of ESXi 3.5 - ISO download

    Hello

    Anyone have VMware 3.5 hypervisor version 32-bit ISO download?

    My server ESX 3i, 3.5.0 build #207095 is not being updated, as I ought to grab the update of June 2011.

    I had this all sitting test machine that during that unpatched etc., as it was not in a production environment.

    Now I need the use of a test machine and I don't have access to a 64-bit computer and I want to just install the 3.5 again.

    I have a BDC running on it and I can move it using Vmware stand-alone converter between my server ESXi 5.5 U5 and return.

    I just want to have the latest patched on 32-bit hardware installation!

    If someone has a link that I can get the last 32-bit ISO, please let me know.

Our company is upgrading to a new box 5.1 U1 ESXI is it possible to transfer and launch this server to the new box? I thought that I read somewhere that it may be that the 64-bit installed servers.

  • workstion 8 - cannot install 64-bit on the esxi Server vm

    I installed VMWARE WORKSTION 8.2 on my system after I installed Win7 64-bit.

    Then, I installed the server ESXI WORKSTION Version 5 469 512 on VMWARE WORKSTATION

    Now I'm running the server via VSPHERE CLIENT 5.

    Whenever I try to install a virtual system on the ESXI 64-bit version, it gives an error that the system is not supported and I can only use it for information.

    If I install the 64-bit version of virtual on my computer without problem systems, why I can not install on the ESXI SERVER ?

    Change the settings for the virtual machine for the VM ESXi.  On the processors tab, check the box next to 'Virtualiser VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'  If your hardware supports this feature, you will be able to run embedded 64-bit clients.  For more information, see nested running VMs.

  • To expose the bit VT to ESXi invited?

    Hi all

    Looking for a way to expose the bit VT of the host hardware for a virtual machine running on ESXi. I know a similar setting is available in VMware Workstation, named "runtime Mode", but is not present in ESXi (obviously, being a different version of the hypervisor). Is it possible to manually force the opportunity to be on, for example manually placing an entry in the. VMX file?

    See you soon

    Sam

    It is not possible today on ESX/ESXi.
