Single server ESXi on CPU with > 6 hearts

Hello

As far I understand count max core for server ESXi (free edition) is 6. What happens if I install it on a box of HP DL385G7 with an AMD 6136 (8 cores) CPU? The installation will fail, or only 6 of the 8 cores will address work? The box is listed in the HCL. With the new range of G7 HP servers, it isn't an AMD based DL385 server processor that uses a processor with a basic under 8 account.

Thank you!

Julian.

> I don't think County processor or core are limited to free ESXi.

CPU do not count, but free ESXi is still limited to 6 hearts. It will work on 8 or 12 core processors, but use only 6 on each physical processor. 12 cores are only available for Advanced and Enterprise Plus.

  • Pass a vCenter Server ESXi to another with dvSwitch

    Hello

    I am actually preparing a migration of vCenter and have a few questions.

    I'm migrating a cluster esxi 5.5 to one vCenter to another. The esxi server are configured with a distributed VM networking switch...

    now, I would like to know if I can export the dvswitch configuration and import it on the new vcenter disconnect and reconnect esxi for the new vcenter Server?

    in it's kb article is also to bring all virtual machines to a standard switch: KB VMware: ESX/ESXi host with vDS passing a vCenter Server to another

    what I really need to move virtual machines first to a switch standard or is - this just for safety reasons? because I bring the configuration real the new vCenter dvswitch so it would stay the same dvswitch configuration?

    Perhaps it is - can anyone help me...

    Hello

    I just wanted to say that you MUST first migrate all the dvswitch to the standard switch exchanges!

    If you add the esxi with the distributed switch, the dvswitch disappeared and the virtual machines have no connection to network more

  • publish server esxi and CPU/hardware compatibility .vmx files.

    Hello

    I have images that have been created and run on my laptop. (architecture intel, 3 GB)

    I recently downloaded them to the ESXi 4.0.0 server via the client and unfortunately the images do not work when I import them into inventory.

    The server is a dual proc AMD based on HP Proliant server.

    They appear unknown.

    Is it because of the hardware/cpu does not?

    you shouldn't have any problems, run the virtual machine.  I think that your problem is based around the process that allowing you to move the virtual machine.

  • ESXi 4.1 with 2.7 to RAID server only has a 750 GB data store

    I have a server ESXi 4.1 Build 260247. It has a controller Adaptec 5805Z with 2.7 TB RAID6 material. The ESXi is installed and running on a USB key. The server runs a lot and don't have any problem with the performance, but what I failed to note (after the creation and configuration of the 7 servers for an Exchange 2010 lab) is that the datatstore1 is only 740,75 GB. I looked everywhere in vSphere and online on how to access the rest of this storage. Under configuration > hardware > storage it shows the 'Adaptec disk Local (mpx.vmhba2:C0:T0:L0)", type = parallel SCSI disk to Transport, 2.73 Capasity TB.

    How can I access the additional storage on the disk? I certainly don't want to have to reinstall the LAB if I have to. Attempts to increase its size in the properties of the data store has failed. No error, that he just does nothing nothing found...

    Creating logical volumes on the RAID is a feature or function of the RAID controller, respectively the RAID controller software. Most RAID controllers authorize splitting of the RAID (unless it's a RAID level 0 x) in several logical volumes. You will need to check this for your RAID controller.

    You should probably migrate VMS off the coast of the current data of 750Go store and delete data store. Then, remove the current volume of 2.75 to logical and create a new logical volumes - maximum 2 TB - 512 bytes by using the controller BIOS or software RAID.

  • Recommendation req - how two database with the same name can exist on a single server

    Description of the problem: I have a database named 'aaa' (9i db) in production and we need a copy of it to create 'aaa' in the same server with the same name, but an 11g database.

    9i 'aaa' is an exixting database in an AIX 5.3 Server.
    You will need to create a copy of this database 11 g named 'aaa' on the same server. I use the utility exp and imp db, but not sure how far it is recommended to have the same db names in a single server. Not sure about listener etc. problems.

    Any suggestions on this would be appreciated!

    Create this database for a specific application, test and cut classes to prod.

    The goal is admirable.
    The proposed plan makes me shudder.
    V11.2 must be installed on system new/other, IMO; to reduce the risk of wrong operation on the basis of incorrect data.

  • Two databases on a single server - CPU allocation

    Is there a way of CPU resources between two databases in the same way that the resource groups can allocate resources within each database? Let's say split 60-40 between databases cpu?

    The answer is no. I think, it seems that you encounter a performance problem, and you try to solve it using process priorities. Am I wrong? Or I'm going to upgrade my crystal ball?

    If you were never able to do such thing, the first thing that comes to mind,... what you define as "the database" here, you do not have something you can touch and say "it's the database", the concept of database is a logical, not a physical concept, it is composed of memory, processes and files , and the main activity has to do with e/s where most of the time the problem of startup performance. even if you were able to abstract the logical concept of the DB in a single physical component, allocating CPU him would not be enough to solve performance problems.

    I strongly suggest to detail why you want to do this assignment and then we can discuss alternatives from there on.

  • Doubt on single server multiple vs single-server instances several databases

    Hello

    Here is my banner for oracle:

    Oracle banner:

    Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit Production

    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

    "CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production."

    AMT for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

    When you use the dbca command, it creates a new database. So is it possible to have multiple databases at the same time running on the same server?

    I tried this option where I had created 2 databases A and B both running.

    He kept to launch ' ORA-12520: TNS:listener could not find a Manager is available for the type of requested server "intermittently. I have not found any useful document to solve this because of which I ended up recreate all objects in database B to the database A. Data Base A therefore has its own schemas and schemas from database B.

    Below are examples of files tnsnames.ora and listener.ora, sqlnet.ora trying this option:


    sample tnsnames.ora file.

    A =.

    (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc.com) (PORT = 1521))

    (CONNECT_DATA =

    (SERVER = DEDICATED)

    (SERVICE_NAME = A)

    )

    )

    B =

    (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc.com) (PORT = 1521))

    (CONNECT_DATA =

    (SERVER = DEDICATED)

    (SERVICE_NAME = B)

    )

    )

    Listener.ora, example:

    LISTENER =

    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =

    (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc.com) (PORT = 1521))

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))

    )

    )

    ADR_BASE_LISTENER = C:\OracleDatabase

    SQL Net.ora:

    NAMES. DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

    ADR_BASE = C:\OracleDatabase

    Lsnrctl status showed services for each database.

    All the world is facing this problem? Can we have multiple databases on a server with a listener running on the same computer? So my Tnsnames.ora file would have 2 strings of connections and file listener with an entry of the listener.

    Can you please share your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files?

    Also, how to create a single database with multiple instances on the same server? Please tell me about the document that contains an example of this.

    Yes, you can have several databases (running different ORACLE_SIDs) the ORACLE_HOME even on a single server.

    I suspect that the ORA-12520 error was the result of certain constraints of resources (cpu, memory or i/o) resulting in the inability to create a new database session.

  • Specialization on a new server ESXi 5

    I want to set up a new server ESXI 5.x for a customer and would like to clarify certain points, if you will allow me.

    1 ESXI 5.x supports up to 32 GB of RAM, correct?

    2. If I have a server with a processor image, I, from point of view of the ESXI, four CPU available is to allocate to the virtual methods, correct? And two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU is to allocate to virtual methods?

    With ESXI 4.1 I found work two logics CPU very well support a CPU heavily used on a new HP Server as long as my other virtual methods are virtual demand as storage of data or Symantec Antivirus servers servers, etc..

    3. I asked earlier but it's not kosher to overallocate computer CPU? If I have a Quad Core processor and assign 8 Virtual CPU I overuse. Is it always a bad thing with 5.x?

    Thank you very much for the friendly help continues I go out here.

    The backup, you can certainly manually save or use in comments like Windows backup backup. I just wanted to talk because many people don't think that.

    Regarding commissioning, it depends on the workload as I've mentioned before and also depends on how to configure the virtual machines. If you have a 4 core CPU and configure the virtual machines with 4 vCPUs you may soon face questions. However, if you configure the VM with 1 vCPU (or maybe two for individual virtual machines), it would be possible to run 10 virtual machines or more without problems. Everything that you, remember that the host must also some resources.

  • A single server virtualization, make sense?

    Hi all

    There is none advantage at virtualization a single server ?
    The only benefits who come to mind when we talk of un single server are able to do clones et snapshots.

    There is a license that covers only an ESXi with VirtualCenter to manage? I read that the smallest is vsphere essentials covering 3 guests.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can make a clone of a poor and all simply turn off the virtual machine and make a copy of the VMDK. Then, simply create another virtual machine using the copy of the VMDK. I used to do all the time with ESXi.

    I think that makes a ton of sense to virtualize a single server. It isn't really a question of why it's a question of why not. You get all the benefits of the free virtualization database. He made the trip, the upgrade and so much easier Server backup.

  • VM Server 2 as an archiving solution (single Server Instances, long-term use 10 years and more)

    Hello, I have a lot of customers who are located in the health sector, they have very dated material but we must keep the system state server and existing programs up to 20 years.

    I've virtualized successfully some of their servers using the converter and operate them on VM Server 2.0; things are impeccable and they know even higher performance and then on their old material.

    My question is this; VMWare Server is a sound archiving for instances of single server solution if a customer has only 1 server that must be kept for years, is interesting to use ESXi or ESX server purchase?  Do you think that any restrictions on the use of VMServer to host this virtual machine (for the next few years) so the client will use to read only purposes?  Is there another product VMware which will allow for read-only access on a network (Vm Player?)

    What are others in the health sector to help clinics with a single server?

    Thank you for all your comments on this, I'm using ESX server but with time in these situations, there is no way these customers will be hardware and software investments for 1 VM.

    Thank you

    Haymaker

    Hello

    For archiving purposes, VMware Server is a perfectly good option. Reader could also be used if you want to... You and the 'hosting' on which you store all this. It must be able to run the required number of virtual machines simultaneously.

  • Install Oracle GoldenGate Linux to synchronize two schemas from database on a single server

    Hi all

    I have to synchronize two schemas from database (Oracle 12 c) in a single host RedHat Linux to demonstrate and understand the use of OGG V12.1.2.1.0. I try to do. But it's complicated and confused me because I am new to Oracle and Linux. I followed this tutorial ( install Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle 12.1.2 on CentOS/6.x to 6.x/RHEL Linux 6.x EL ). But it is difficult to understand how I can match with two diagrams of database on a single server.


    And I found this tutorial (Oracle GoldenGate on Linux: two-way replication of Oracle 11 GR 2 to Oracle 11 g 2). He said: "" If you have that one host, it may be useful to change the /etc/hosts file to create aliases forhost01.example.com and host02.example.com.". What it really means?

    The other seems to be useful. But it's totally different from 1. Is that this will help my job since I use 12 c Oracle Server?

    Can I get some tips to continue my task?

    Here's another tutorial - http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/goldengate/12c/OGG12c_Integrated_Replicat/index.html

    It has everything set up on a single Linux host.

  • Update Server esxi

    Hi all, I'm new to vmware.

    I can see most of my esxi hosts are version 5.5 and few are with version 5.1.

    How update 5.1 to 5.5.

    I need to put in the mode of maintenance, and after that please guide me. If I put in maintenance mode the esxi host is removed from the cluster.

    Screenshots would be appreciated.

    2. I am using HP Proliant Servers. one of my server esxi does not support version 5.5 until I update its firmware. With the help of HP ILO I put firmware update, but I have to put in maintenance mode when I update the firmware on the server

    Hello

    1. download the required ESXi image.

    2. Select the host required in the vCenter > Update Manager

    3. click on view images Admin and click on ESXi

    4 import image ESXi and navigate to the directory where is this image > download

    5. the wizard asks you to provide a database name, to give a base name (for example, host_upgrade)

    6. go back to the view of compliance and enter the host in maintenance mode. If the host is in maintenance mode, no VM must reside on it. The host be removed from the cluster when it is in maintenance mode.

    7. click on join, and then select only this base line created containing 5.5 ESXi ISO

    8. click on Scan, compliance status must come as non-compliant. If she starts as incompatible then restart this ESXi host and perform the analysis again

    9. click on take and give a name to the task and keep the default values and complete the upgrade.

    Two things here:

    You must ensure that your ESXi 5.5 is supported on the hardware. You can use Vmware Hardware Compatibility List to verify that

    VMware.com/go/HCl

    Once the hardware is compatible for ESXi 5.5, then you can proceed to the update above.

    In addition, you must put the host in maintenance during the firmware update mode.
