• vCentre with vSphere Enterprise and vCentre with vSphere Enterprise Plus

  We used 4 * VMware ESX Enterprise 3.5 U4 with Center Virtual v2.5 to our datacenter keys for 2 years. With the release of vSphere we have upgraded to vSphere Enterprise with vCentre since we had bought maintenance for 3 years.

  Now let's deploy another 4 * vSphere Enterprise more than servers in one of our other data centers in another location and use of the vCentre same server as our key data center. Two data centers are connected via an MPLS connection.

  My query is what is happening with regard to the two lic. and the characteristics of vCentre/vSphere so we have a places vSphere Enterprise Clusters and in another site running a vSphere Enterprise clusters rained for two configurations of the plant as the vSwitch distributed with Ent to a network running. More and the other added features more from the company. What happens if we use the Cisco Nexus 1000 what impact also who have on the global configuration if a site is running Enterprise and other companies.

  And also how should I handle the licenses of some of my servers are Ent. and others are Ent. More?

  Thank you very much

  Of course also take into account the fact that you can't mix and match servers with different levels of license

  For example: If you use enterprise more to Host Profiles and dvSwitch - you can't have the ESX hosts with a lower level of the license in the same cluster

• Using NetApp SRA with vSphere SRM and suspension

  Hello!

  My understanding is that SnapMirror is no suspension, so as a result, you will only get consistent backups fail?

  My question is, when you use the NetApp storage replication adapter in Site Recovery Manager, you now get supported in standby, as MRS can work alongside the matrix to orchestrate the recovery correctly?

  See you soon,.

  Bilal

  Necessary for suspension of application with NetApp NetApp SnapManager.

  SRM does not add any capabilities of demand for NetApp mise en veille (or another provider of table). SRM monitoring, can trigger and in some cases reverse replication, but it is not change/impact how replication is running.

  If you perform a scheduled migration (or a failover of DR and MRS can communicate with servers SRM & vCenter protected site), SRM will replicate storage, turn off the system VMs graciously and then happen again so it is not necessary in these cases of app-compatible replication.

  Does that answer your questions?

• Can this load balance and HA cluster with vsphere?

  Hello community!

  Really new on this type of subject, so forgive me if IAM iam do or say something wrong. I'm here to try to understand better this amazing tool so I apreciate your time and knowlodge!
  Im trying to create a failover and balancing cluster with Vsphere, the goal is try to install an MSSQL DB server where the customer can access more quickly and do not have downtime when a node is down.

  I read a lot but still I can't have a full understand abt, so if anyone tries to explain something, please be patient and explain with precision.

  All doing wrong if you really work at home as a LABORATORY, and I can do it, hurt trying to use it to get a job because I don't have and I really need one soon!
  Here is my diagram is possible?

  

  Well ill to explain it, I have clients that will send a work for my DB load process, which will affect on MSSQL Server installed on the 12 TB logical drive created from the union of all methods virtual storage. Each virtual storage is just a virtual disk created on a virtual machine that is hosted on the physical server (node).

  So I have 4 physical server which have 1 VM each with 3 TB of virtual disk, the goal is the customer can send the process of workload on 4 nodes to have a quicker response, and if a single node fails for any reason, the other node can operate withow problem.

  physical server Medley: don't know yet if I have to use one or install VMWARE directly.

  Sagna VM: Windows Server 2008 (don't know if necessary or if I can just install SQL Server directly)

  MSSQL Server VM: 2008 Enterprise (still don't know if I have to use this one)

  Well I can't think right now on the other details, but if you tell me ill be happy to write it.

  Sorry if my writing or semantics is false but English is not my first language.

  Really thanks to get to this point and share your knowlodge!

  Best regards, josh of Argentina!

  Josh, please correct me if I'm wrong, you have 4 knots of MS - SQL, and you need to read/write at the same time in a shared database of 12 to.

  If this is the case check the following documents:

• A purple screen of death (.. .exception 14 to the world...) with Vsphere 5.5 and Windows 2012R2 Server (problem solved)

  Hello

  I think it is good to add here...

  I started now to migrate my server under Windows Server R2 2012. The virtual environment is vSphere 5.5 HP DL380G7 servers.

  Today, I have solved a hard crash of the host server after you have added a server Win2012R2. The symptoms are CMTF (purple screen of death) to the host (I was pleased that I have disabled the new customer HA; that would be a blow my other hosts).

  Basic message was "...". exception 14 worldwide xxxx... ».

  I solved it very simple by changing the E1000 to VMXNET3 virtual network card. For me, it looks like a bug to develop by VMware in the next versions. For now it works.

  I hope this information helps you!

  Good luck!

• EMC Powerpath/VE with Vsphere 4 Enterprise

  I'll try to get a clear answer on this and have not been able to.  I know that in the past, that you have to have the company more to support third-party storage API.  From what I've read here http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/editions_comparison.html , you don't need more.  Is this the case or I read wrong.  Do you have this change with 4.1?

  Thank you

  Roger

  Yes, from vSphere 4.1, it changed. You just need to business as comparative table shows.

• Linked Clone with vSphere api and VIClient 2.5

  I'm trying to create Clone bound using vSphere Web services api (c#) and it always end like full clone.

  My question is, is it possible to create Linked clone using vSphere api with VIClient 2.5.

  I know that vShpere supports version 2.5 VIClient. vShpere has the ability to create Linked clone.

  I try to know why it does not create Linked clone from my environment.

  I am ready to explain if you need more details.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can vMotion Linked Clones... sVmotion may work, but I have not tested, probably not a good idea to move them.

• Problems with vSphere replication

  Hello

  Ive been with vSphere for about a week now and I'm faced with the logic of the replication tool V.

  I've been creeping (don't not trolling) forums and web trying to find a good source that can explain this plugin which is visible in my Web client installation method. I also license MORE.

  This is probably the only one I can find so far: -.

  http://vknowledge.NET/2012/09/12/vSphere-5-1-getting-started-with-vSphere-replication-5-1/

  What I want to achieve is to reproduce all the virtual machines on one of my servers to another identical server of the G8.

  Two questions if you could help please?

  1. someone any good tutorials on it.

  2. I went and made a schoolboy error, I think, I gave the vSphere replicaiton appliance the same IP address as my ESXi host. (This is how I am wrong) and now I can not access the host because of this machine. Can someone tell me how I can reconnect to this machine without a comprehensive resettlement and reconstruction of 50 guests or more.

  Thanks in advance if you can help.

  It is difficult to explain the internel operation of the SRM, vsphere replication etc... in this little time...

  the basics are simple... How it works... ?

  There are 2 types of replication replication 1-vsphere 2-array based replication

  vpshere replication is a basic agent - it's a VR agent will be there inside the esxi hosts this monitor of the agent running the virtual machine inside this host and replicates data binding if WAN remote site.

  the main PR\648606FR here is - once the replication of the entire virtual machine that's happened, after that only the blocks changed the VMFS will be launched on the... which is the only the modified virtual machine data will be replicated. It's called CBT, VR agent follows the blocks inside the VMFS, if any block of virtual machine data is changed it will get replicated.

  dosent it replication vsphere require no support from the underlying storage Bay...

  the second is the table of a function... where the entire replication is managed by the matrix of storage... and it works with the MRS.

  See the post for more details... http://communities.VMware.com/message/2175005#2175005

  now to your questions.

• Replicate the VMS with FTP and VM with virtual disk shared by: SRM with vSphre replication

  I have a VM and FT is configured on it. Now I can reproduce the virtual machine with SRM with replication of vSphere. I have not configured array based replication. Similarly, I have two DB VMs cluster, but they share a virtual disk between them. Can I replicate these VMs DB with vSphere replication?

  Your valuable contribution is much appreciated.

  I got the answer, for the virtual machine with FT and shared virtual disk replication, to do SRM with array based replication. vSphere replication cannot replicate virtual machine with FT or shared disk.

• Will vcloud Director 5.5 compatible with vsphere 5.1U1?

  Hey,.

  We vSphere 5.1U1 running in production and we look at vCloud Director 5.5 for the deployment. But VMware does not have a virtual Director 5.1 appliance and we do not want to buy a server, Redhat enterprise server (we could upgrade vSphere 5.1u1 soon, but due the Veem, we cannot now). Since VMware provides the virtual appliance for vCloud Director 5.5, so I got this question that I can't answer in VMware documents:

  Will vCloud Director 5.5 compatible with vSphere 5.1U1?

  Thank you

  Yes vCloud Director 5.5 is compatible with vSphere 5.1U1.

• 4.1 pilot 3ware sas to work with vsphere 9750 5

  Anyone know if the driver for 3ware-sas vsphere 4.1 (specifically for a 3ware 9750-4i) will work with vsphere 5?  I installed on a HP Proliant ML110 G6 starting vsphere 5 from a USB key, the 9750 is only for a data store.  I bought the 9750, assuming that it has been supported because he was listed as compatible for the 4.1, but did not notice that he was a pilot of vmware add-on.  I plan on the test, but I am concerned about the problems on the road, if there is a driver incompatibility which might not appear initially.  If anyone has any information on the question of whether the drivers of the controller are the same for 4.1 vs 5 it would be a great help.  Thanks for any information provided in advance.

• VMware vSphere Advanced Acceleration Kit

  How does VMware vSphere Acceleration Kit advanced work? How many guest support? I have two servers at once with 2 quad core processors. I would like to implement the two servers with a tolerance for vcenter and fault, then add a third server that is identical. This package will work for me?

  We currently have kits essentials in place on two other servers. The essential kit clearly states its for 3 guests (max 2 CPUs per host) and 6 cores per processor

  This package should work just fine, but we want tolerance fault for our new configuration. That's why I'm leaning towards VMware vSphere acceleration Kit Advanced.

  Thank you

  Joe

  As you have already mentioned, the Kits Essentials are limited to 3 guests. That's all.

  Acceleration Kits are reduced start-up kits which contain regular licenses. You can only buy 1 of these kits per location. The Advanced acceleration Kit includes vSphere Advanced 6 processors and vCenter Server Foundation. You can use the licenses processor you want, for example for the guests of CPU of 3 x 2 or 1 x 2 CPU + 1 x 4 CPU... If you need more guests and 3 then you can upgrade the License Server Foundation of vCenter to vCenter Server Standard and purchase additional processor licenses. See http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/buyvsphere-acceleration-kits.html

  As far as I know there are options to upgrade Essentials more to the acceleration of advanced kit. Ask your VMware reseller for more details.

• Integration of UCS with vSphere - invalid URI error

  The extension of vCenter is exported from the UCSM without error, but when you try to install the plugin via vCenter plug-in Manager I get this error:

  Any tips?

  Kind regards
  Radek

  Hi Radek,

  So as long as the file is saved in the folder plugins in vCenter, and they appear in the list of plugins, then that's all you need to do. You don't need to click on the 'Download and install' button as this will not work, because you have met. This is because it is a document XML allows to activate and validate your vCenter server and communication between UCS/Nexus 1000v. There is no practical application which is executed and must be installed.

  Hope that helps to clarify

  Thank you

• Problem with vSphere license

  I am trying to add a license to a free vSphere installation 5.1 and I see this error message. My Dell R710 server has 72G RAM, 2 x 1 TB and 2 x 6-Core 5660 2.80 Hz CPU.

  I have attached the log. Any help will be appreciated!

  Thank you

  JM

  With vSphere 5.0, VMware is launching a policy which limited the maximum physical memory on a host or a cluster, according to licenses "vRAM". For the free hypervisor maximum was 32GB. This political vRam has been deleted again with vSphere 5.5 (see for example KB VMware: VMware vSphere 5.5 license and/or Update vRAM political). I'm not sure if policy has also been removed from the earlier 5.x version with the latest patches!
