  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  What is ESXi system managed (for example with a non-free full license) by your vCenter?  If this isn't the case, then you can not make a gesture like this.  You can probably fake it with enough script and help of some external tools to make disk copy.

  The Lightroom 6 stand-alone version is available as a trial? I don't want the monthly subscription CC version.

  You can install the free trial of Lightroom CC 2015 (LR6) and then convert it into a version serialized if you want to buy the version no CC after the trial

• Can no longer add ESXi host to vCenter but OK VI Client connects

  I removed an ESXi host in a cluster on vCenter. Now when I try to add the host (whether for the cluster or stand-alone) the add hosts Wizard appears and has the correct information, but when I cliquerai on closing, that nothing happens for a few minutes, then I get the error:

  Unable to reach the specified host... Maybe it's because this host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on the host services do not react.

  However, I can connect to the host directly with the VI client and which works very well, even though the events tab displays "VFAT: 2583: Possible FAT Corruption." My copy of ESXi is on a flashdrive in a HP Blade.

  I tried to reboot the host, but it makes no difference. Several of the responses to other users of similar problems is recommended to perform "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the host, but this does not apply to ESXi. I also tried to restart the vCenter, but that makes no difference either.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Download iso hpvm-recovery on HP site and reinstall ESXi on flash drive.

  UPD: Yes, as Neil said, check your key USB HP if you bought ESXi Embedded. If you have the Green key aluminum, require the replacement of HP. And then, you definitely have to download iso that I mentioned above

• Adding esxi host to vcenter

  Hello

  I can't add a 5.1 ESXi host to VCenter server (5.1). When I try to add the host to vcenter, I get an error message "a general system error occurred, VMODL incompatibility between VC and ESXi."

  Need help.

  Usually this error appears when the ESXi host, you're trying to add has a newer version than vCenter.  Depending on your case, both have same version. In fact, it should work fine without any problem.

  Can you please confirm the ESXi and vCenter versions? Also can you please post numbers comes together?

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  http://store.VMware.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=displayPage&env=base&locale=en_US&siteid=VMware&ID=ProductDetailsPage&ProductID=126843700&RESID=psfyPAoBAlkAACQ2y-kAAAAX&rests=1277824287882

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.

• vpxuser on stand-alone ESXi

  Hello.

  I always thought that vpxuser is created on ESXi during the process of attaching to vCenter. Hoewever I figured out that this account exists on ESXi, even if the host is not managed by vCenter and has never been (I don't know where I read the news that vpxuser exists only if the host is managed by vC, there is no such info here vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre). So my question is: what vpxuser need for in the case of standalone ESXi? And could change its permissions or password affect somehow the stand-alone host?

  I can't tell you the reason why, but with the last ESXi versions (including 6.0) vpxuser is a predefined on the host computer and not only created with the addition of vCenter Server as in the older versions of the host. The latest documentation (assignment of permissions for ESXi) includes this design change.

  I have a subscription Adobe CC and then Adobe CS6 with a separate license. In addition, I also have a separate license for the stand-alone Adobe Lightroom version.  These were installed on separate computers, however no opf the stand-alone version will work now that I get a box for Creative cloud telling me that I have the software on two computers and I have to disconnect from the other computer.  How can I fix so that I mustn't keep disconnection in order to work on my laptop, etc. ? I have a subscription to the program and three separate license for each other. When he told me to update the program he changed everything to CC, which I did not intend to do.

  HI ProfWSA,

  I see that you have a subscription active creative cloud.

• Windows 2008 R2 VM disk system increased substantially after moving from VM to ESXi host 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using vCenter Converter Standalone

  Hello:

  I moved a Windows 2008 R2 VM from a 5.1 ESXi host to an ESXi host 5.5 using vCenter Converter Standalone.  The c: / drive system passed largely to where I now have to extend the volume.  Is this normal/expected behavior?  Perhaps the conversion/move creates temporary files I can delete?

  Thanks much for the ideas.

  This is not the expected behavior.

  Size of the disk is defined during the conversion and which will not increase by its own during conversion.

  Now, you need to V2V, if you want to reduce the volume.

• Cannot access ESXi host in Vcenter after moving to accommodate different subnet

  I moved a different host EXSi 5.5 on a new subnet at a physical site.  The host has been identified by IP not the DNS name.  After the start of Vcenter, I realized my mistake.  The host is always identified by the old IP so it appears as disconnected.  I was hoping I'd be able to simply change the identification of IP address, but have not been able to see how to do this.  I also tried to remove the host (this configuration has a data center and a host), but I can't do it.  I can't add the host (with the new IP address) I get an error message that the data store is identified with the original host.

  Is there an easy way to this?

  Welcome to the community - you need to remove the old entry in your inventory (using the command delete inventory) and then re-add the ESXi host FULL domain name.

  I also moved it to a more appropriate forum-

• Director of the laboratory - cannot export to ESXi host (SMBMount unsupported)

  Hi all

  I had this problem since the liberation.  This is my environment:

  Director of the laboratory of 4.0.1

  vCenter 4.0 Update 1

  ESXi (3 guests) 4.0 Update 1

  Shared storage: EMC SAN with NAS volume on gigabit ethernet.

  I opted to use on ESX ESXi VMWare's future, as far as development.

  My problem is this: when I click to export a configuration of Lab Manager, it fails with "Error in export."  The details of the message are:

  * Error export the Configuration.

  vCenter Lab Manager cannot find that any suitable host connected to the "NFS Datastore" data store for this operation.

  Host 'ESXi1' is an ESXi host and does not support smbmount.*

  I installed ESXi being under the impression he was supposed to have all the same functionality as ESX.  Now, I have myself screwed... my users will sometimes have to export configurations to test booting the VMS of USB dongles (as there is no USB transfer directly to a virtual computer that it's time to start).  If at least 3 times a week I have to export virtual machines, one by one, to a network share, which is quite tedious and quite annoying.

  Is on the timeline of development?  I noticed that the 4.0.2 has been released, but by its requirements (http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager402.html#newfeatures) it does not support ESXi 4.x, which is strange because the requirements for Lab Manager 4.0.1 (http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager40.html) list ESXi 4.0 as a host in charge.

  Can someone please shed some light on this issue and maybe get it on the development plan for the next version of Lab Manager?

  Thank you!

  -Jesse Reinhart

  stemplar,

  We don't do generally no update notes version after a product has been released.

  In addition, it is not specific to Lab Manager, ESXi does not support required... orders so Lab Manager is just stating the restriction of resource pools provided.  As far as I remember, ESXi did not support smbmount (or mount-t smbfs) since its inception.
