• vSphere ESX or ESXi? Only one to choose...

  Hello

  I have to make the decision between the two, currently I have a mix of ESX and ESXi installed in my infrastructure.

  I heard we should all 'UPGRADE' to ESXi, well I thought that ESXi is that the poor cousin of the ESX ESX was the version to be on!

  And how would finance ESXi, work permit?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hello

  We have the ESXi since ESX 2014 will be step by step more vmware support.

  and according to the licenceing is worrying choose from standard, walking, enteprise and wide + .whichever is suits your infra... all have their characteristics to distinguish and costs.

• Updating ESX to ESXI 5.1 4.1

  We currently use ESX 4.1 and want to upgade ESXI 5.1. Are there instructions available through video upgrade or documentation? Also, how the new licence with respect to the use of memory and CPU in ESXI 5.1. What are the benefits of upgrading to 5.1?

  Thank you

  Hi Scott,.

  In ESXi 5.1, this link will give you a quick way to see license restrictions. Moreover, like a physical processor of rule 1 = 1 license (no carrots or vRAM limitations).

  http://www.VMware.com/products/Datacenter-Virtualization/vSphere/compare-editions.html

  In the advantages, firstly, a change of ESX to ESXi. You will get a smaller and more secure hypervisor.

  Since version upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1, this will depend on what version you have... for example, if you use now 'advantage' you will have "business" in version 5.1 as advantage licenses no longer exist.

  Then you have many new available technologies, better technology HA that uses the heartbeat data store, you have more features such as VSA, vSphere replication, features improved, such as the Protection of the data instead of retrieving data... and the list goes just. Oh, you also have VMFS5 which is more flexible and optimized than VMFS3 (ATS instead of lun level blocks, only 1 block size, the larger capacities of data store, etc. etc.)

  Know that when the upgrade of the service console ports will turn to ports (perhaps you need to enable HA on these manually later). Beware if you are using third party agents that maybe they do not work in the new hypervisor, check your scripts in case you have also some commands no longer exist, no VCB more, Manager update won't let you patch your virtual machines. So, carefully read the upgrade guides

  Best regards and good luck!

• Licenses vs Upgrade vSphere ESX to ESXi immigration?

  Hello

  The current environment has three hosts ESX4.0 with the Advanced license and vCenter Standard. Upgrade to Enterprise Plus, is little pain due to costs involved that. Each CPU will cost about $ 2400, which will include the support of the company "Active Advanced Support of license will not be considered, it is directed by represensitve sale."

  Because eventually retired ESX and ESXi will only be one, I think migrating to ESXi. But, what I have to buy a new license for the ESXi or existing vCenter license will be able to manage ESXi hosts?

  If I'm going to buy a new license for the ESXi, what are these licenses and what will be the cost of it?

  Thank you

  ESXi is a constituent of the vSphere4. You will still need to upgrade your edition of desire, as advance to normalize or all at the same company for storage vmotion & DRS.

• Should what version I go for, 4 Esx or Esxi 4?

  Hi I am new to VmSphere and I want to start as soon as possible.

  What is the difference between Esx and Esxi?

  And that one should I go for?

  There is an installable option and a built-in option.

  That we on these I should go with?

  Thank you

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Since you are new to vSphere, I'd say go with ESXi.  ESXi is the future of the product, and you can also get it free!  Take the installable option and see if you have a piece of hardware on the HCL install it on.  Also be sure to check out the excellent product documentation.

  Good luck!

• VSphere 4 - ESX or ESXi?

  I am planning a virtualization project for my company including 3 vsphere hosts and a SAN. We are going with vsphere 4 enterprise more licenses because it will give us features HA and FT wider for any extension, we can demand in the future and the HP DL360 G6 servers. I got quotes for all of our hardware and software costs and I'm looking for ways to cut the total disbursement down slightly. A way of doing it would be to remove the hard drives and controllers usb compact flash running table of the configuration of the server and ESXi (our hardware vendors don't stock DL360 G6 with ESXi embedded).

  I've read articles in May and discussions on the differences between ESX and ESXi, but I wanted to just some thoughts from people who have used the two flavors.

  I understand that the main difference is the lack of service on ESXi console. People feel generally that it is a drawback to the use of ESXi?

  Are there any other differences evident between the problems of reliability or performance 2 or any with ESXi?

  If I create my own key compact flash/usb bootable, it would then be ESXi installable. Is there a difference significant between ESXi embedded and installable?

  What people think of the compact flash/USB in a single point of failure as opposed to ESX running on hard disks mirrored?

  Thank you very much in advance for any opinions offered.

  Nick

  Yes - I which resound. Being official I am biased of course and the forums are not the place to sell you on an approach or another. However, one thing that is sure is that VMware will move completely to the ESXi model in a future release. This has been communicated for a few years now.

  If there are third party software which are always based on the COS it is a reality that will lead you to a traditional model of ESX. If this isn't the case, I see no reason not to deploy ESXi (certainly with the train of the 4.0 version). Just as a point of clarication: ESXi is produced for the same source code base as ESX, there should be no functional difference between the two put aside from the interface options discussed above.

• Application of ESX or ESXi Standard license or vSphere new purchase

  Hello

  I read the following in another thread,

  "You can apply any license that you purchase, be it Standard/advanced/business/Business Plus or even packages for small businesses vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus, ESX or ESXi. Both will give you the same features allowed when it is applied. »

  Once the license applies for example to ESX, does this mean I won't be able to change my mind at a later stage and move all my installations to ESXi?  Thanks for your replies.

  Best regards

  Robin

  You can't really "switch" from ESX to ESXi - you will need to reinstall the hypervisor. But you will be able to use the same license key for ESXi you used for ESX.

• IE8 with SAP Business Warehouse

  After installing IE8 update I can't use SAP Business Warehouse queries, which return the error messages.  I uninstalled IE8 and the update of security for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 KB969682, which restored the BW feature on our professional XP laptops, but it does not work on my Vista laptop.  It seems that some elements of IE8 remain behind.  How can I remove completely all changes made to the IE8 update?  I tried to restore to an earlier date, but gives me a blue error screen when I restore to a date prior to 6/16.

  I use a Dell Latitude E6500 running Vista SP1.  However, the incompatibility of BW and the incompatibility with the Excel security update occurred in 100% of the machines on which they were installed they are under Vista or XP.

• Store of data sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5

  Hello

  I have a vSphere environment 4.1 with a vCenter and a cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 access to the content of data through fiberchanel (type scneario) warehouses.

  And now I need to install a new ESXi 5.x (cannot be a different version) in a separate environment, outside of the current vCenter, BUT to access the warehouses of data even as the cluster of vSphere 4 current.

  Anyone know if there should be no problem sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5 access to the same data storage?

  Thanks in advance

  As long as the FC zoning is configured properly, avoid all the problems.   ESXi 5 will be able to see the data created by ESX4 VMFS3 stores, it will not be able to create the same size of virtual machine he can on a 5 VMFS datastore.

• Need a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter

  Hi all

  If someone can help me with a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter, create a role called admin and give all access except the root. This shoulb be past by a virtual centre.

  Very much appreciated to help him.

  Kind regards

  MelLvin

  I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

  This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

  Something like that

  $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
  
  $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
  
      Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }
  
      $rootFolder = Get-Folder -Name ha-folder-root    Try{        $account = Get-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -ErrorAction Stop |        Set-VMHostAccount -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -AssignGroups $groupName    }    Catch{        $account = New-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -UserAccount -GrantShellAccess -AssignGroups $groupName    }

• Difference between ESX and ESXi in production?

  Hello

  I was asked to meet my client from my manager what difference does it make if I used ESX or ESXi in our world of production.

  Except I can't think of a logical reason to use on ESX ESXi... Any ideas please?

  Thanks in advance!

  PS - I know the basic difference between these two have read a few articles, but nothing gives me a practical reason to choose ESXi.

  Since reliese the Service Console on ESX - which is based on RHEL - the reason that VMware moves to only ESXi is it eliminates the need to patch the Service Console and makes it more secure host.

• Script - missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi

  Can I have the script i.e. missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi using the CLI power only? out put should be csv format

  You reset the content of the table $Results on each iteration of the baseline.

  Try like this

  $Results = @()
  foreach($esx in Get-VMHost) {
    foreach($baseline in (Get-Compliance -Entity $esx -Detailed | where {$_.Status -eq "NotCompliant"})){
      $Results += $baseline.CompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"Compliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
  
      $Results += $baseline.NotCompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"NotCompliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
    }
  }
  $Results
  

  It will give the installed and lack of patches which are defined in the non-compliant baslines related to the ESXi host.

  If you want to see all the lines, also the most consistent, omit the Where clause on the base line (foreach) loop.

• ESX and ESXi

  What are the fundamental differences between ESX and ESXi. Someone could it say please interview point of view. Just need about 4 to 5 differences.

  Thank you

  Prashant

  The difference between ESX and ESXi, ESX was the classic version with a dedicated Service console embarked with him, however, ESXi is the version of Vsphere without the Console service. Because ESXi is without the service console, so its size is very small and its called summer have footprint small disc. With the release of VSphere VMware 5.0 and later versions has deprecated the classic ESX version there is therefore no now unavailable ESX and we only ESXi now.

• The IP of the host ESX and ESXi console information

  Hi guys,.

  I have a little problem here, we have a script that collects the host Console IP, host name, field info... etc.

  My problem is with the period of INVESTIGATION, because we have a mixed environment of esx3.5, esx4.0, esx4.1 and ESXi4 get the IP of the Console is a bit of a problem.

  If I use the

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  {foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic)}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  I covers the ESX Console hosts IP info, but all the info of ESXi IP gets missed.

  If I add to the:

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  foreach ($cs in $NicInfo. ) VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}){}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  I get the ESXi IP Management IP network, but the ESX hosts to report the vmk0 which is the IP address of vmotion.

  So if anyone can help I'd be very happy.

  Include the HOST party so that you can see what I mean:

  #[int] $Loopctr = 0
  $newesxhost = (@($xml.) (ESXInventory.HOST) [0])
  $newVMPortGroup = (@($xml.) (ESXInventory.VMPortGroup) [0])

  Get-VMHost-location (Get-Cluster-name $cluster. Name) | Sort-Object-unique | % {
  $esxhost = get-view $_.ID
  Write-Host $esxhost. Name
  #if ($Loopctr - gt 0) {$newesxhost = $newesxhost.clone ()}
  $newesxhost = $newesxhost.clone)
  $newesxhost. MemberOfCluster = $cluster. Name
  $newesxhost. Name of the vendor = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.Vendor
  $newesxhost. Model = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.Model
  $newesxhost.os_version = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.Version
  $newesxhost.os_build = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.Build
  $newesxhost.os_caption = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.FullName
  $newesxhost. MemorySize = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.MemorySize

  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}) {}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  $VMPortGroup = get-VirtualPortGroup - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  
  {foreach ($vpg to $VMPortGroup)
  Write-Host $vpg. Name
  $newVMPortGroup = $newVMPortGroup.clone)
  $newVMPortGroup.Name = $vpg. Name
  $xml. ESXInventory.AppendChild ($newVMPortGroup) > $null
  }

  $xml. ESXInventory.AppendChild ($newesxhost) > $null
  #$Loopctr += 1

  /regards

  Why you do not include a test that check if the host's ESX or ESXi?

  Something like that

  $esx = Get-VMHost MyESX
  
  $NicInfo = Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $esx 
  
  $newesxhost.VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName$newesxhost.Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  
  if($esx.Extensiondata.Config.Product.ProductLineId -eq "esx"){    foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic ){        $newesxhost.IPAddress = [string] $cs.IP    }}else{    foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.VirtualNic |where {$_.name -eq "vmk0"} ){        $newesxhost.IPAddress = [string] $cs.IP    }}
  
  $newesxhost
