Need help in the Migration of storage.

Grateful if you can help me with this.

One of our clients have 2 x 4.0 with standard edition license VMware ESX hosts. Currently, the virtual computer files are resided in local hard drive in the respective host. The customer will buy an iSCSI storage and will be attached to the ESX host.

The VM/VM files must be moved to storage. What is the best way to do this given the fact that the customer is having only the standard license. There's a Vcenter server standard is in place to manage these hosts.

It's legal, but for the version that you mention, I'm guessing it won't work any more, unless you upgraded recently from assessment slot license... After the first start of the host ESX 4.0 can't stop the countdown.

Search for "evaluation" in the documentation online here: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-4-esxi-installable-vcenter/index.jsp

You'll see in the first few hits:

Assessment period counts down

The 60-day evaluation period ESX/ESXi begins to count down immediately after that the first time you turn on the machine in ESX/ESXi.

The 60-day trial countdown begins even if the host is fired and you do not use the evaluation mode. For example, suppose you decide 10 days after the first market to switch mode allowed for the evaluation mode. Only 50 days remain of the evaluation period. Sixty days after the first market, it's too late to switch to a mode of assessment being zero days remain of the evaluation period. During the evaluation period, if you put the machine in a mode, ESX/ESXi AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode timer of assessment does not countdown.

To avoid losing the availability of evaluation mode, VMware recommends that before (or shortly after) power on your ESX/ESXi machine for the first time, you decide if you want to use the evaluation mode. One of the advantages of the usingevaluation mode are that it offers lots of features, allowing you to try out the features you're not still without paying additional license fees.

and

Convert an ESXi host in evaluation mode

If ESXi has a license, you can switch in trial mode in order to explore all the features of ESXi.

Procedure
1

In the vSphere Client, select the host in the inventory.

2

Click the Configuration tab.

3

Under software, click licensed features.

4

Click on Edit next to ESX License Type.

5

Click on the product assessment.

6

Click OK to save your changes.

    I'm working on migrating a 3.5.12 SAMBA domain of a domain of the Active Directory Windows 2008R2 running.  I did a test in my lab with an older version of SAMBA and windows 2003r2 and was able to use ADMT to transfer users and groups without problem.  Although I was not able to transfer the SID.  What problems will not transfer cause SID after I break the trust and users begin to work of the exclusively in the AD domain?  The error returned was ' could not verify auditing and TcpipClientSupport on domains.»  Will not be able to migrate the Sid. The system cannot find the specified file. »

    Second question: what is the best way to migrate user profiles in this scenario?  I tested using the Easy Transfer Wizard and withdrawal from the old domain and join the new, but this takes time and seems that there is a better way to move these user profiles to point to the appropriate field without the many hours of data transfer.

  • Need help with the migration of VSwitches Standard servers to vDS

    I have a two hosts VSphere environment. Each physical host has two NIC currently, I have a host in a subnet and a host on a different subnet. Each host has it's own standard VSwitch. I can ping and route between subnets but the DNS servers are completely separated at the moment. I would like to create a vDS that spans two hosts without losing network connectivity. Is this possible? It would simply create two ports with properly configured uplinks?

    How you have configured "Teaming and Failover" in the settings of the distributed port group? Can you confirm that only appropriate uplink groups are active and the uplink for the other subnet group is moved down to the unused uplinks.

    The link below is a guige to install a video card in your Pc.  In particular, it seems that you will have to perhaps specify the location of the new card in the bios and save this change before you install the new card - see step 4 in the guide on the link below.  If your new card fits into the PCI Express x 16 slot, you will need to define PCI Express in the bios and save the changes.

  • Satellite Pro A300-15V, I need help in the Organization of my startup list

    Hello everyone!

    I need help in the Organization of my startup list:

    (Why should Toshiba button support I this program if my laptop doesn't have multimedia keys? OR maybe this program for something else?)
    ItSecMng (although I have disabled the Bluetooth Manager to run when starting from this point still remains in the startup)
    Agent of filtering of Audio Conexant high definition (what is this program? Do I really need to start?)
    TOSHIBA Power Saver
    Toshiba Flash Cards
    RAID event monitor

    So, my friends. Could you give a valuable suggestion whether or not it is prudent to disable startup above entries? I want to speed up my laptop at the highest possible level.

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Kind regards
    Osman.

    My laptop:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-15V (PSAJ5E) => NOT have multimedia keys except the FN keys.

    > Toshiba Button support (why should I this program if my laptop doesn't have multimedia keys? OR maybe this program for something else?)
    You can disable it. If your mobile phone does not support the multimedia buttons then this tool is useless.

    > ItSecMng (although I have disabled the Bluetooth Manager to run when starting from this point still remains in the startup)
    I don't know what would make this process, but you can disable this in msconfig-> tab start Mr. If it would take in the future, then you could turn it on again.

    > Agent of filtering the Conexant high definition Audio (what is this program? Do I really need to start?)
    I think that this is necessary. It could improve your audio

    > Toshiba Power Saver
    This is important. It s an additional saving of Toshiba option for Win 7

    > Toshiba Flash Cards
    This tool controls the FN keys.

    > RAID Event Monitor
    Hmm so you don t have two hard disks, then you can try to disable it too.
