  Hello, my saver

  Currently, I have an Esxi, but before I used a picture of WMware player to my virtual server and I know, I use Vsphere to work with my 5.1 ESsxi, I just want to know if I can use my VMware Player image in VSphere for Esxi? and if the answer is Yes, how?

  Thanks for your help.

  Right, so use VMware converter to do this as indicated in my previous post.

  Kind regards

• bad, ugly of vSphere good ESXi,

  We plan to make our upgrade from ESX 3.5 to vSphere with ESXi.

  Our environment is 25-35 guests, especially HP and some Dell.

  What would we be careful with ESXi (in addition to not having a console and scripts, etc.)?  Limits?

  I think it will take a bit of getting used to vCLI and vMA since we have been accustomed to the console on the host since ESX 2.0.  I had heard some security problems associated with ESXi, but I don't remember where I heard that someone has any information that might be useful?

  Besides the ESXi Chronicles Blog, someone has good blogs, etc. especially recommended for ESXi?

  BTW - are going to change the name of vSpherei?

  I think SSL/SSH is safe enough.

• VSphere vs esxi

  We currently use the free ESXi 5 product. In reading, it seems that the licensed product is called VSphere. However, it seems to be based on ESXi.

  So, someone can tell me what are the differences between the free and licensed product and why I won't buy a license?

  What would I win I do not currently have with esxi?

  It all seems rather vague and is not terribly clear what advantage offers products under license (other than support).

  Ron

  In fact the free product will have all the features for 60 days, including the characteristics of the company, once the period of the track. Then you will have the features available only essential items.

  Please let me know if your answered the question correctly

• Where can I download the VSphere client to use with VSphere Hypervisor (ESXi)

  I'm looking for the download for the VSphere Hypervisor. This client will be installed on my laptop to my virtual machines via VSphere Hypervisor Manager

• Issue after changing the port used by the VSphere Client - ESXi 5

  Being an ESXi 4 guy, I changed the default ports in the proxy.xml file as indicated: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1021199 as I always do. However, this time I did in ESXi 5, before reading the note: ' "for vSphere 5.0, if the proxy ports are changed, the new ports are not allowed through the firewall ESXi.".

  I restarted the management agents and now of course, I can't seem to connent on the host ESXi 5 via any port, and I can't connect to disable the firewall using esxcli. Today what is the workaround?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can access the physical console and go to DCUI and undo your changes... If you made a backup file of the xml file before you make changes, it should be as simple as copy back the original file.

• What are the limits of vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi free version)

  There is unfortunately quite hard limits, for example 8 GB vRAM, it's the total amount of RAM to virtual machines. I suggest that you look at version 4.1 and not 5.0.

  (VMware is however always claim that the virtual machines on the free vSphere Hypervisor could use unlimited RAM. It is probably not correct.)

• vSphere Client ESXi 4.1 keyboard repeats

  I'm under ESXi 4.1.0 on a Dell PowerEdge 1850.  When I open a vSphere Client console window to a computer virtual desktop running Windows XP, just fine.  When I perform the same process of a Dell Latitude E6410 Laptop with Windows 7 SP1 of the keys that I sink into the virtual machine will scroll numbers 0-9.

  For example, when you attempt to connect to dialog logon WIndows Server, in the user name entry I press the 'P' button twice, it will echo "01".   If I press the 'P' button again once it will echo '3' and so on.  I tried the new customer of ThinApped without any difference.  I also tried to create a new virtual machine from media and during the installation of the OS, before the key is always that numbers.

  I tried this on the virtual machines running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Ubuntu with the same results.

  I don't know what else to try.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Just to eliminate any external cause, you use the following Norton antivirus on Windows 7 PCs with constantguard?

  I've seen a number of occasions where constantguard has decided to enter the numbers you have described

  I use a mixture of Windows XP, Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate and donlt have questions you specify (but do not use Norton)

• vSphere 4 + ESXi 4: Image using a RDM cannot be migrated to a different host, card held locally RDM?...

  I have two servers ESXi 4.0 and one of vSphere (4.0), their management. These two ESXi hosts can see a LUN on a NetApp FAS2020 and they see it as the same device (if I change the name on the same host, its automatically changed on another host). I have also a larger NFS volume that I use for my VMDK files, and it is on both ESXi hosts. All my guests use the NFS data store for their primary, and several disks use it to a secondary drive.

  I have a specific host to use an iSCSI LUN of the NetApp for its secondary drive. I added it as a Raw Device Mapping (tried physical and virtual), but when I go through the installation program, must I store a map file of the LUNS on a data store. Unfortunately, the single data store, you have an option is the LOCAL DRIVE of the ESXi host. As soon as you start the system and try to migrate, it fails because the second vServer cannot reach the mapping file that is located on the first vServer.

  What I'm doing wrong here... Why can't store the mapping file ROW with the rest of this VMDK and file EXCHANGE virtual servers?

  I think it is because the file pointer needs a block device. You can check KB for details. And Yes, you need another logical unit number (type vmware) and create a VMFS on it to store the pointer files.

• VSphere and ESXi - single server

  Hi all

  I have a single server running ESXi and Vsphere on my laptop to administer it. Assessment of vsphere is now expired, so I can't make any changes to my server. How can I license my vsphere for free single server configuration?

• VSphere or ESXi licensing

  Hi I have a dell R815 with 128 GB of physical Ram and 2 popular Cpu with 12 cores of each. I run VMware on it, then we can test and learn the different virtual machines at the same time. Unfortunately, as new Virtualization we are a bit confused by the licensing options. Could someone tell me what is the minimum license should I buy to achieve the following:

  Run multiple machines virtual woth a maximum of 8 virtual processors each and 32 GB of Ram per virtual computer. I'm not worried about DR or some advanced features in this time and I wonder if Vsphere essentials would correspond to my needs? or do I watch another license?

  Any help with this would be much appreciated.

• vSphere 5 ESXi host - RAID config best practice?

  Hi all

  I'm pretty new to VMWare and wonder what's the best Setup for RAID

  I have a HP DL380 G7 with SAS 4 x 600 GB discs.

  It is a simple server lab/DR, and I intend on creating a RAID-5 volume with no hostspare. Can I partition the RAID and put the ESX software on a small partition and use the other partition for the data store? If possible it is best practice?

  I imagine there will be a performance by having the same RAID volume, making of the reads/writes on the ESX software and storage at the same time. Would I be better to throw some 72 GB in RAID 1 on the server so just for the ESX software and maybe to store some ISOs?

  Thank you!

  B

  Don't worry ESXi. It works entirely in memory and only stores the configuration changes and logs on the HARD drive. I'd go with the RAID5 configuration that you mentioned.
