• move VMs between 4.1 and 5.0 host

  Thanks for the time.  I want to move the virtual machines that are currently on the ESXi 4.1 hosts to a host located on ESXi 5.0.  Virtual machines are on a SAN storage.  My plan is to add the SAN storage on the 5.0 hosts.  simple.  However to move the virtual machines.  From what I understand so far I will unregister the virtual machines from the host 4.1 and then save them in the host 5.0.  That should be enough right? And any preference or not the CLI or the navigation data store?  All that I'm missing?  Thanks again.

  I understand how're talking it about two autonomous host computers, is not running in a server vCenter environment!

  In this case, you are right. Power off the virtual machine, remove from the inventory of the old (right-click the VM) host and add the virtual machine to the inventory of the new host by right-clicking the .vmx file in the data store Navigator.

• Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor

  Hi guys,.

  I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.

  Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?

  Help will be very useful.

  Thank you very much

  vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.

  In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"?  No, not really.  One is a part of the whole.

• LM 4.0.4 and vSphere ESX 4.1 update 2

  Forgive me if someone has already asked this question, but I did not yet find a way to search just this particular forum compared to the VMware communities as a whole; This seems to be the only option using the search field in the upper right.

  Question:

  For LM 4.0.4 release notes them public support for vSphere ESX 4.1 update 1.  Does anyone know if vSphere ESX 4.1 update 2 is still supported?

  Thank you!

  Kevan

  If you check this, ESX(I) 4.1 U2 is supported with Labmanager 4.0.4.

• How to move VMS to new storage AND new hosts

  Hello

  I'm having a hard time find, how can I move all the VMS NFS storage to a new storage iscsi (SAN HP). We are also the introduction of new material for guests, so throughout that this is an entirely new environment of vCenter (also from vSphere 4.1 to 5.5). My first thought was to attach new storage to the old hosts. Then do a migration of storage, one for a while (off voltage machines), remove the virtual machine from the old vCenter and then add them to the new environment of vCenter. But we have exhausted all NICs on the hosts of old, so I can't join the new storage, and I can't share a vmkernel for iscsi and nfs port.

  You have any suggestions how I can address the issue?

  It would work if you are very good to have downtime to your virtual machine.

  If you incur no downtime, you can try to install the same set of ESX (i) version on a few new series of servers (for example 10 points on 50 new servers) and add them to the old CR and proceed step by step below

  -Configure the old NFS storage on new set of servers

  -Migrate (vMotion) all VMS on old NFS to the new set of servers

  -Remove all the new set of VC servers

  -Add the same set of servers (that have been migrated from VM) to new VC

  -Migrate all virtual machines to the new storage and then upgrade your new set of servers

  In my view, this way you can avoid having a downtime for your virtual machine.

• Difference between Shell ESXi and active with SSH PuTTY?

  Hello

  We used to activate SSH and PuTTY to connect to 5.5 ESXi host.

  However, a consultant suggested allow ESXi Shell and access it via DCUI.

  Would just like to ask you what is the difference between these 2 methods of access?

  Thank you

  Accusing Shell of ESXi is available by using two different ways.

  (1) local access to the shell of ESXi is available turning and by using directly from DCUI (Alt + F1), safer, since it is connected locally

  (2) remove access to the shell of ESXi is available by activating SSH Shell and using the SSH Client such as PUTTY etc to access. Since it is remote access, security is a bit of a cause for concern.

  This is the reason, the suggestion to use locally DCUI is given.

• ESXi and vSphere support on older hardware?

  I have freelance consulting work.  I often need a VMware platform for the work I do.  For the most part, I've been running on desktop on my laptop.  That works well for some things, but for other things, I really need ESXi.

  Being a small shop with a budget of small equipment, I'm looking for a low cost solution.  I found an old HP DL380 G4 for a very reasonable price.  It is not a big box, but it would do well for my needs.

  My question: how long is this likely to be taken platform supported in ESXi/vSphere?  No reason to expect to stop working anytime soon, or should I expect to work "forever"?

  Thank you!

  I have a few old DL360 G4 models in my test environment, and they certainly VT support. A glance on the Intel site shows that without VT - x support (http://ark.intel.com/products/27089/64-bit-Intel-Xeon-Processor-3_60E-GHz-2M-Cache-800-MHz-FSB) XEON Processors

• Hypervisor ESXi and vSphere?

  Hi all

  I just noticed in the download section. Is ESXi 4.1 hypervisor identical to what we download from the inside of the section of vSphere?

  In addition, in vSphere article is there a difference between various essential category, Standard, etc? Because when I click on them, the content is all the same.

  Thank you.

  There is no difference in the binaries. According to the license key that you apply, the different functions are locked or unlocked.

• Move files between the DSO and the storage library

  Hi all
  
  I use Oracle RAC 11 g ASM on Oracle Enterprise Linux 32-bit 2.
  
  I created a group of disks called + FRA for my quick/flash recovery area.
  I take the backup of my database and and all backups are created sub + FRA.
  
  My requirement I want old backups to a /backup of operating system mount points to be moved to the library of storage by my backup storage management solution.
  and in the case where I want to restore everything back up I'll copy back from /backup to + FRA diskgroup and then restore my database
  
  Is the above a good practice?
  Should what I do? CP command will help? given that I have faced questions while moving the files using the command cp of ASM to the OS directories for vice versa.
  
  Kind regards

  Hello

  1. I'll take a daily backup of my database to the FRA + ASM disk group.
  2 backups older then 1 month, that I need it submitted to / backup /.
  I used this: backupset finished after ' sysdate-30' backup format ' / testasm/backup%U' tag = "OLDBACKUPS" entry of deletion;
  is correct?
  or can I say backup obsolete? and there I will be backed up obsolete since FRA on different location?
  3 when I backup my Flash region recover I can instead just delete to delete the input set based on condition of "longer than 1 month?

  The question is how long you want to keep your backups in both places?
  Example:
  If I want to keep two months of backup (regardless of location)

  Configure the 65-day WINDOW retention policy;

  Above all the backup of the database will be stored on + FRA

  Then as maintenance will pass you every day all the backups more 30 days to ' / testasm / '.
  for example

  backup backupset completed after 'sysdate -xxx' format '/testasm/backup_%U' tag=OLDBACKUP delete input;
  

  So, you all first 30 days of backup on + FRA and older than 30 days in ' / testasm / '.

  So, during the restoration, the concept is the same, the Oracle will read the files in your own location.

  The two locations will be kept, catalogued and managed by RMAN.

  In this scenario, the RMAN delete expired files only in ' / testasm / ' because the older files will be there.

  If ' / testasm / ' is not shared between the nodes, I recommend that lets you share the NFS file system. (although I prefer ACFS)

  If NFS is not an option, you need to move and delete obsolete node that have mounted "/ testasm /". You should be aware of the limits of availability of this file system.

  Suppose that you backup all the files in ' / testasm / ' tape (without using RMAN) and RMAN delete these files, because they are obsolete. You can restore these files from a bunch of ' / testasm / "and catalog with this command" RMAN > CATALOGUE START WITH ' / testasm / '; This will increase you the retention of backup, but covering these files saved will be your provider of backup media retention policy.

  Hope this helps,

• I would be able to move seamlessly between fix PS and PS mixture?

  I have PS Lightroom, fix PS and PS mix on my iPad iOS 9.0 and I have a record of creative cloud synchronized with my office catalogue Lightroom and wonder if I can change one photo in lightroom iOS and then see these changes infix or mix? I can't know if it is possible to work on a single photo in each application according to what want to do.

  You can move an image around the use of Adobe's "Creative Sync".

  In LR, choose a picture to change, then press the share icon and choose Edit in.

  Mix, open a project, and then select a layer. Press creative cloud icon to display the menu edit.

• How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?

  Hello everyone.

  Can someone help me with registration

  of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I

  certainly do not understand.

  My goal is to install and use ESXi

  4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for

  more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?

  Installation of its products

  gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few

  suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,

  I will be grateful.

  I'll write what I did:

  1. I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.

  2. I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.

  3. Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
     the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exe

  4. Installation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.

  5. I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.

  6. Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".

  7. I have
     Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
     the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
     find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
     "for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
     for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?

  8. I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
     I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
     Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
     Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?

  As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?

  To register the serial number in your ESX4i host

  Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)

  Tab Configuration

  Left side - features licensed

  Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key

  Paste your key

  Confirm all

  Your ESXi server is now fully licensed

  Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  Dear team,

  Mr. VMware

  Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.
