• RV with Vsphere Essentials 5.1 more

  My Client will buy 2 servers, and each server has 2 CPUs. And he'll buy vsphere essentials 5.1 pack. but the thing is he'll find a server in one place and the other server is in another remote location. two servers can be connected by using a VPN. There are now the following things. Please explain to me that these things can be done.
  1. He must manage two servers using a single VCenter.
  2. he won't buy any external storage. Instead it will use the internal memory. and he needs to implement storage device to do a cluster between the two servers.
  3. must use VR for replication. (from one server to another) without the help of the SRM. He will use the Group feature (VR) essentials with pack.
  4. he needs 20 virtual machines in a server and the same servers in the other server installation. If a server crashes while it must use the remote server as the production server.
  Thank you. Please update me as soon as possible.

  Thanks for the reply bro... Another thing I need to ask for your hand, can I configure the storage facility for vsphere between 2 servers, those who are in different loccations?

  Or what I can do replication without a storage device? I mean using only the internal storage of the server?

  Yes, you can... that's what VR is all about.

• vSphere Essentials, anyone using this bundle, thoughts?

  We have three servers free ESXi v4. I work on a project of various groups to try to get the money to buy the bundle of vSphere Essentials so that I can attach the 3 servers together under a single management console and get consolidated backup.

  Before I buy it I wanted to check here to get your opinion on this set. Was - this value of the passage of the free to the point, do you want you would have gone with a different bundle with more features?

  Thanks for all insite,

  Mike

  No, you're right. You would seek to 6 Standard licenses and 1 license of vCenter Foundation. There is no Acceleration Pack for Standard (big mistake IMHO).

  Essentials is a package very well. If ca foresee you being OK with 3 guests, for a reasonable amount of time and a date, will not want to use SRM, then go ahead.

• VSphere Essentials Plus Kit vs Standard

  All the

  I need help to make a decision here.  The environment is both physical server (2 CPU each) and they run out of a small local SAN.  I was going to get Essentials more but the problem is that it is around $ 5500 per server physical and that is almost as expensive as the server.  I'm looking for alternatives and I fell on VSphere Standard edition.  Although Essentials Plus has all the Bell and whistle I am looking for, but we can live with HA and vMotion.  The truth is that I can live with 15 minutes of downtime, I just need to know if I should get VSphere Standard edition or even Essentials that I have the opportunity to make a VM if I experience hardware failure?  Thank you in advance.

  Welcome to the community,

  vSphere Essentials Plus Kit comes with a license for an instance of vCenter Server Essentials and 6 CPU license for up to 3 guests with up to 2 processors each. No need to buy a Kit by server.

• Newbie question: ESXi 6.0 free vs vSphere Essentials Kit

  I currently have a server host running ESXi 5.5 (free version), accommodation mainly a lab with SQL servers and workstations Windows infrastructure.

  I plan to upgrade the vSphere Essentials Kit and I was wondering what are the additional benefits I would get paid Kit essentials ESXi free 6.0 vs.

  So far, I can think of the following:

  -Possibility to install on two additional host servers (however I don't really have this requirement for the moment)

  -Compatibility with VMWare as ALTARO and VEEAM backup software. (This would be beneficial)

  What are the other benefits Essentials Kit would offer a server environment unique host which would be sufficiently attractive to force one to go compared to the free version?

  Thank you for any comments.

  Another great advantage will be the Server vCenter which adds lots of features and will help you manage all three hosts. Have a look here some of the additional benefits: http://www.vladan.fr/esxi-free-vs-paid/

• The upgrade of free vSphere vSphere Essentials Plus

  Can someone point me in the direction of the vSphere upgrade free to vSphere Essentials Plus? I'm relatively new to vSphere in the installation process.

  Yes, same procedure, but note that you will have a license key for version 4.x. If you have the license key for version 5.x and the host is version 4.x, you must upgrade your host to version 5.x or downgrade your license for version 4.x.

• VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

  Hello

  TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

  We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

  We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

  However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

  Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

  Kind regards

  Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.

  Can I use the standard VMware CD to upgrade the host or vCenter or should I use Essentials more specific CD?

  There is no difference between the installation media... the same ISO can be used for all editions of vSphere/vCenter.

  Based on what I saw on KB 2057795 I should update the vCenter first, ESXi nodes later.

  Yes, it is in order, all first the vCenter Server and vSphere ESXi hosts.

  Can I upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 U2 or should I perform any intermediate task?

  You can go directly to version 5.5 Update 2, but for vSphere, ESXi hosts don't forget to check the HCL first just to make sure that your host supports version 5.5 Update 2.

  Is the update process, I need to run described anywhere?

• 5 of VSphere and VMware vSphere Essentials Licensing

  I just the unit of vCenter installed and put my license keys in for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle - (version 5.0) - license - 3 guests - up to 2 processors by host

  However, when I connect via vSphere client of web it says I have a key that expires in 60 days (the assessment key). I can't delete this key. I'll find myself unable to manage my VM with vSphere Web Client in 60 days?

  Man, this approval is confusing!

  

  Thank you!

  Post edited by: a.p. - in gray license keys!

  Looks like that you always use your evaluation key for your instance of vCenter instead of your purchased key.  If you click on the tab of systems vCenter server you should be able to pass the eval on a key your purchased key.  That should solve your problem.

• Confused.  5 of vSphere Essentials 'various assets '?

  Bought vSphere Essentials trying to get the work of Vcenter Server Appliance virtual vmware.  When you try to license key returns the message that says "the license key belongs to a product that is intended for a different type of asset.

  Yet when I have the decoding, it says "VMware vSphere Essentials 5 (unlimited cores per processor).   To which I replied "uh..." Yes?... and...? "

  What is going on?  Thank you.

  It runs vCenter but with a different license. With Essentials (more), you get 2 licenses:

  -> 5 vsphere Essentials (more) operating licence (3 guests) on the host

  -> vCenter Server Foundation (host 3) license for the vCenter Server

  So, get hold of the other licence and you will see that it works.
