• Cannot assign VMWare Essentials-PLUS license, says "vSphere FT" in use.

  I am desperately trying to activate VMWare Essentials plus, but when I try to asssign the key to these two hosts ESXi 5.0.0 get:

  License may not be assigned, features in use: vSphere FT

  The other key "In VSphere VMWare Server" just assigned very well.

  That amounts to two questions:

  How remove vSphete FT, even when disabling HA completely it always says "are in use."

  I was informed by a representative of VMWare "Fault Tolerance" is included in Essentials, but the reality seems to be different. So either I have a technical problem or we have been deceived.

  Any information to clarify what is happening is appreciated.

  Check the configuration of your network on the host, especially the VMKernel ports and make sure that you have not accidentally activate the checkbox "logging Fault Tolerance.

• VMware Essentials to include Update manager

  Hello, will be setting up a small Site DR.  Going to use Veeam replication to have VM Replicate on him.

  Just try to understand what VMware licenses for.  I think im going to go with VMware Essentials as we will only need two physical hosts to start, maybe in a few years, we could add another physical host.

  It should not be necessary for HA/DRS as it is just a recovery site

  What im wondering, this is the Kit Essentials come with Update Manager?  Not the Essentials Plus version, just essential.

  I can't seem to find on the product page of the site if its included or not.
  It does not say that it comes with VCenter Server Essentials.  Im hoping Update Manager is included?

  I realize im not going to have HA and Vmotion.  But we should keep the patches for security reasons.  Because DR site will be somewhere else, it would be easier to use Vcenter Update manager to update the hosts.  Given that it is a site of DR than the VM'w will be turned off, so I don't think that there should be problems

  Thank you

  Manager update comes with vCenter Server, regardless of the edition.

• Can you manage VMware Essentials of vCentre Standard

  I have a Standard of vSphere environment 4 and I need to move a virtual machine in a single specific server (which has a minimum configuration to minimize the cost of licensing of cracked).

  This server is as an alternative to the V2P.  I'm happy to say goodbye to vMotion, HA and the CBT API for this server.

  And I won't have a VM on this server.  It is rather a loss of a server (thanks Oracle).  I rather not burn ESX Enterprise license too.

  So I want to install using licensed Essentials at low cost.

  But the question is: what I can manage a host VMware Essentials of Standard vCentre?

  I can't find anything to vmware.com who says I can't.  But then, I can't find anything that says I can be...

  Do I have to buy a complete Standard license even for things that are not going to use all these features?

  Welcome to the community,

  Perhaps this will clarify and answer your question:

  the EULA http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/esx_esxi_eula.html

  c) VMware vSphere Essentials and VMware vSphere Essentials Plus

  If you have a VMware vSphere Essentials or VMware vSphere Essentials Plus license, the following additional license terms apply:

  VMware VMware vSphere Essentials licenses or VMware vSphere Essentials Plus editions (collectively, "editions") you only to manage the server up to three 3 hosts and your use of these editions is limited to servers with up to two processors. For these editions, the host server must be managed by the VMware vCenter Server that comes with these editions, and this same VMware vCenter server cannot be used to manage other hosts from server not included with these editions.

  So the answer to your question is: "No, you can't."

• "Convert" an ESXI4 server to an ESX4 Server (VMware Essentials).

  I have two existing ESXi4 servers that run a lot.  I wanted to have the opportunity to monitor, deploy from model and backup (VCB) on these machines.  I bought a license of VMware Essentials. (three servers / six outlets).

  My question is... Should I reinstall to make servers ESX4, or just enter the new key Essentials on each ESXi4 server and add them to my vCenter Server?

  To be honest, I entered the new key Essentials on each ESXi4 server and added to my vCenter server.  My problem is that they are always displayed as ESXi 4 servers.  AND the Update Manager still shows them as ESXi servers.  Is it OK?  Everything seems to work very well.

  As always, thanks for your time everyone.

  There is no functional difference between ESX and ESXi. It is simply a choice with a purchased install. ESXi before move will be the only version available.

• VMware Essentials Plus question of vRam 2 guests

  I have 2 guests with every 192 GB of RAM and 2 CPU.

  If I understand this VMware Essentials Plus the following limitations:

  Max of 3 guests

  Max of 192 GB vRAM

  Max of 2 CPU per host

  The 192 GB can be used in any way I want? For example...

  -Can I run VM 6 with a total of 72 GB RAM on host A and run 10 VM with a total of 120 GB of RAM on host B? (192 GB total)

  -Can I feed 8 VM with a total of 96 GB of RAM on host A and run 8 VM with a total of 96 GB of RAM on host B? (192 GB total)

  - Or in the case of hardware failure, I can run all VM 16 s with a total of 192 GB of RAM on a single host?

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  Yes, the vRAM is "in common", so as long as you do not exceed right you are ok.

  ... also, make sure you have your ESX hosts in a cluster to use the right "pool."

• Maximum cores per CPU - VMWare Essentials

  Hello everyone,

  We bought Vsphere Essentials Plus and installed on 2 hosts, processor Intel 2 1 4 - cores and a processor AMD Opteron 2 6 - cores. Since none of the CPUs exceed 6 hearts, I expected to be able to use more than 1 server with 2 processors, but the system will report that we used all possible processors.

  2 screenshots attached

  The number of nuclei can we have for 1 CPU: maximum 6, most often identified, or less than 6, also sometimes found?

  Thank you for your help

  Michel Verhaeghe

  Opterons have you are 12 cores per socket, so they use 2 licenses each.

• VMware Converter with VMware Essentials

  Hi all

  Hope I am posting this in the right forum. I'm looking to virtualize a couple of servers for a small business and VMware vSphere Advisor recommended buy VMware vSphere 4 Essentials. As part of the migration to VMware, I need to convert a couple of existing servers, including most of the PDC for the office, for VMware. The questions I have is, can I use the VMware Converter with Essentials vCentre?

  Thank you, Kris

  Hi Kris,

  VMware Converter vCentre is a module of vCenter Server 4. So yes, you can use it with a license of vSphere 4 Essentials. You can also use vCenter Converter Standalone, which is free.

  About your main domain controller, it is recommended not to virtualize domain controllers Windows of P2V. In general, it is best to install a new domain controller and switch roles with the old. Take a look at this kb for more details.

  It will be useful.

• Do I need a license AnyConnect Essentials after upgrade to 8.0 (4) 9.0 (1)

  Hello

  I have an ASA 5510 executes code 8.0 (4). It has a WEBVPN license which allows a number of connectivity of peers with a 2.2 AnyConnect ssl vpn client (I have not needclientless SSL VPN features). As AnyConnect Essentials/Premium was introduced on the 8.2 code, does this mean I have to get at least an AnyConnect Essentials license if I upgrade to the latest code, or my WEBVPN license will still suffice?

  If you already have the WebVPN license when running on the 8.0.4, version then you need not purchase a license more.

  The WebVPN license is the equivalent of the AnyConnect Premium license.

  If your output to 'see the version' shows WebVPN for more than 2 users license, then you're OK when you upgrade to version 9.0

• Question of very fast licenses - vSphere Essentials Kits

  Hello

  Can you have several Essentials and Essentials Plus kit by site?

  That is to say - can you buy 3 x Essentials Kits for your site with 9 guests and build 3 VMs vCenter to manage each package of 3?

  IE - if you use your first kit, you are eligible to buy a second for the next hosts a few in your company?

  Thank you

  I'm not aware of a limitation for the Essentials Kits. The only one I can think of with a limit of one per site is an acceleration Kit.

  Anyway, if you consider three Kits Essentials more, it may be useful to check if the benefits of vCenter Server more ESXi Standard licenses justifies the price difference.

• Licensing VMware thinapp

  Hi all, I am new to the computer the end-user of VMware product. I saw the Thin-app license purchased in inventory, but with variations (thinapp 4 client 200 customers, customer customers inherited 50 thinapp 4, thinapp 4 virtualization packager3 instance, thinapp 4 Packer 5 legacy instance).

  When I saw thinapp 5 or higher there is no variants like that.

  Can I upgrade the product for thinapp 5 series with version 4? Please notify.

  Guess the ThinApp 4 Packer license key will not work with ThinApp 5. In any case, please contact your VMware representative.

• A new doubt on the license - VMware vSphere Essential Kit

  Hi guys,.

  I play virtualize physical servers in the company I work (about 10 smaller servers).

  To start some tests, I bought a Dell r.620 server with two processors and 64 GB of RAM.

  I think buy just one license of VMware vSphere Essential Kit, just to test some features, management, and support provided by VMware.

  My doubt is: to support all the RAM (64 GB), I have purchase a license of the vSphere Essential Kit, or I need TWO?

  I'm a little confused on how much physical RAM memory on a single server, the vShpere Essential Kit can handle.

  OK, I know I can use a free version. But this test server will be transformed into a production server, and that the price of the vSphere Essential Kit is very good, I would buy it and start my test as a test of "production"...

  Guys, sorry for my bad English, it is not my mother tongue. =(

  Thanks much for any help.

  Hi Alex,

  Since you are doing a test on a single server so a Kit should be good at this point. In addition to Essential Kit do not fully support 64 GB of RAM so no need to buy two. Only the free versions have limits in support of only 32 GB of RAM.

  Diagram below will give you a good idea on the different Kits.

  Also, you can read about licensing and prices here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Pricing-Whitepaper.pdf

• Issue of license VMware Workstation and VMplayer

  Hi all:

  
  

  Can anyone help to answer this question.  Thank you in advance.

  
  

  I have a valid license of VMware Workstation 9, can VMware Workstation and the VMplayer separately install on two computers and use them in business environment?

  The VMware Player delivered in the Installation of VMware Workstation is not separable from the installation of VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation license.  If you want to run VMware Player by itself then you must download the VMware Player installer, which installs only VMware Player not VMware Workstation.  You cannot cut files VMware Workstation installed between two systems.  So if you want to use it commercially you must buy a license of VMware Fusion!

  I hope that now this is clear enough for you to grab!

• Update license VMware ESX 4.1

  Hello

  I have license to ESX 4.1 Enterprise Plus + support subscription.

  My question is, how can I check if my current contract is eligible for the upgrade to version 5.1 ESXi?

  Login to your My VMware account on which the licenses are stored and select "Upgrade licenses". This will show you the expandable license keys.
