  Can I buy 4 essential Kits of VMWare and install four separate vcenter instances? Am I allowed to use multiple VMware Essentials Kits in one place?

  Unless I'm missing something, you can have how many Kits Essentials desired by site/branch, the limitation is that each vCenter Essentials kit can manage only the 03 (three) hosts.

  Is it possible to install one instance of VCenter for all ESXI 5.5 servers 12 with these licenses or do I need to buy a different set of licenses?

  No, each Kit Essentials can manage only the 03 (three) VMware ESXi ESX. To manage hosts more 03, you will need the Standard vCenter and vSphere ESXi Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus.

  Anyway, there are still other options if you don't want to license more advanced, like Standard vCenter and vSphere, ESXi Standard/Enterprise, see: how your vSphere VMware 5.5 retail and management offices (ROBO) - VMware-Blog of SMB - VMware license items

• Upgrade to vSphere 5.0 more essential Kit to vSphere 6 same product

  Hello

  We are State school running vSphere 5 essential Plus Kit with 3 Esxi hosts and 50 virtual machines.

  I have the following questions.

  1. could we improve this essential kit more vSphere vSphere 5 6 kit essential if yes;

  2. must pay an extra fee to upgrade.

  3. how smooth is the process of upgrading by using the Update Manager.

  4 how long it should take 3 host Esxi and vCenter 5 server to upgrade.

  Thank you for taking the time and answering in advance.

  Thanks - zang

  1. could we improve this essential kit more vSphere vSphere 5 6 kit essential if yes;

  Yes, it is possible.

  2. must pay an extra fee to upgrade.

  If the SnS (Support and subscription) is active, you can upgrade free of charge, see: VMware KB: how to upgrade license keys in my VMware

  3. how smooth is the process of upgrading by using the Update Manager.

  If you have unused production capacity to accommodate all your virtual machines in only 2 guests, you can do the upgrade without any interruption in your environment.

  4 how long it should take 3 host Esxi and vCenter 5 server to upgrade.

  It depends, but I think that 4-6 hours is more than enough.

• Replication between two sites with essential Kit more

  Hi all

  can anyone confirm that the following scenario is possible?

  A basic Kit Plus - replication - another essential Kit Plus
  3 Hosts                                                                      Other 3 Hosts

  In other words: is it possible to replicate virtual machines between two sites, each managed by a single essential Kit Plus (outside the bounds of the CV)?

  I'm sure that is correct, but I want to be sure.

  Thank you guys!

  Alex

  Yes, you can use replication between vCenters thus vSphere. To do that you would like to devices VR is deployed to each vCenter and then connect them. How to do this is described in the VR installation and config and administrative documents.

  BTW, my name is GS.

  See you soon!

• Upgrade free version of Essential Kit

  Hello

  Can I put my free ESXi installation to vSphere Essential Kit, or what I have to install it again.

  We head to the front.

  The answer to this is nice and simple. Apply the license key that will activate paying for features.

  You can build your first vCenter Server (if you do not have one) and then apply the keys to vCenter, makes it a little easier if there is more than one host.

  Existing ESXi installation using VMware Update Manager

  You can install the drivers async on an existing Update Manager VMware ESXi host. For more information, see using vSphere ESXi Image Builder CLI Guide of installation and Installation of vSphere.
  
  Note: Async drivers are developed by third-party providers and are subject to VMware certification. Third-party suppliers provide suggestions/recommendations for updating their drivers/firmware for specific versions of ESX/ESXi. As a result, VMware does not include these async drivers automatically in the Update Manager.
  
  To install the async drivers:
  

  1. Extract the contents of the zip driver async file.
  2. Identify the offline-bundle.zip file (s).
  3. Vcenter Server, go to the home page > Update Manager.
  4. Click the Repository of Patch .
  5. Click the link to the Import of patches at the top right of the screen.
  6. Click Finish. The async driver is added to the repository of the patch.
  7. Create a base Extension Host and sanitize the ESXi host. For more information, see the Guide of Directors of Update Manager.
  8. Restart the ESXi host once the restore is complete.

  
  

  *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

  What is the ZIP file of the async driver?  I only found a *. VIB

  What is the offline-bundle.zip file (s).?

  in point 3, I opened my HOUSE Vcenter and I Don t see UPDATE MANAGER, see picture

  
  

  
  

  
  

  So, I'm lost... again ... Could someone provice drivers for a REALTEK RTL811DL and show me how to install it easily in a production server. ?

  Thanks a lot to all

  Have you installed the plugin?

  As I said, the VUM consists of two parts: the server and the client plugin.

  You install the server from the installation media and the vSphere Client plugin itself.

  I found a post detailed with screenshots for you: vSphere Update Manager (VUM) (part 2) - Installation

• ESX i4 free edition to manage by VCenter 5.5

  Hey,.

  I've got ESX server free edition 4.1 and I recently bought essential kit of ESX.

  I want to update my esx server, but first back up all my virtual machines.

  is it possible to do except turn off the virtual machines?

  I thought to add the host as it is (free edition) to vcenter 5.5 and their cloning of virtual machines, but no luck with that, is it possible at all?

  Thanks for the help!

  Alon

  Oh right sorry, forgot that, as he used to work with free ESXi earlier

  During the upgrade, there is not a single were you can really do something wrong:

  It will ask you to upgrade or new install.

  The pre-selected and correct answer is "upgrade and preserve the VMFS datastore ', so that your virtual machines them will not be deleted.

• 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

  

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Essential Kit for VMware

  Hello

  I have VMware Essential kit, which applies for up to 3 servers or 6 processors. I have a doubt linked here:

  Make VMware license key have any physical RAM limitation?

  Another doubt is:

  The VMware license key limits 3 servers.

  If I'm using vCenter server then, I can't use more than 3 servers under that.

  But,

  I use VMware license key on more than 3 individual ESXi servers if, I'm not them including vCenter Server. It is the violation of license key?

  Thank you.

  The license warning will be fixed in a patch.   ESXi does not license check against one "Internet Center" service so we can apply the same license for several hosts when not to use vCenter, but you are not legally allowed to do. ""

• How to separate vShield Manager with vCenter

  People, we have installed vShield manager. Before you configure devices such as EDGE or APP, we decided to go for some change major grace to which we would like to uninstall the vShield Manager. I just wanted to know how we can separate vShield Manager with vCenter or simply if I delete device it will be deleted?

  Please help.

  Thank you and best regards.

  Hari.

  No,

  VShield manager is a device managed by plug-in.

  If you previously uninstall component vshield vshield link manager, you can remove the device and then remove the plug in. (like other component like Vmware Data recovery,...)

  Kind regards

• verification of vShield Manager record vCenter

  I'm installing vShield Manager in my environment of vCloud/vSphere 'assessment '.  Working from the vShield Quickstart document [1], the vCenter configuration section says to check the configuration by going to "vSphere Client, select an ESX host and make sure that the vShield appears as a tab.

  First of all, I use the vSphere Web Client, not the client application, then where would this 'tab' be in the user interface?

  Then, just to check, I went in the client application, and I couldn't find the tab anyway.

  HOWEVER, when I go into the web interface of vShield, I see the data centers of my vCenter in the tree of "inventory" on the left side; such, it seems that the vCenter has been saved successfully.

  ALSO, is there an interface in the vCloud Director to control the vShield?

  Can someone give an overview of these issues?  Thank you!

  I'm installing vShield Manager in my environment of vCloud/vSphere 'assessment '.  Working from the vShield Quickstart document [1], the vCenter configuration section says to check the configuration by going to "vSphere Client, select an ESX host and make sure that the vShield appears as a tab.

  First of all, I use the vSphere Web Client, not the client application, then where would this 'tab' be in the user interface?

  There is no such tag for the Web Client, 'functionality' (which is not really adding anything useful) is provided by a vSphere Client Plugin.

  You can view the list of vCenter Server Extensions in the Web Client, which should list your vShield Manager like in this picture of the attached example.

  Then, just to check, I went in the client application, and I couldn't find the tab anyway.

  Make sure that the vShield Manager plugin is enabled in the vSphere Client.

  HOWEVER, when I go into the web interface of vShield, I see the data centers of my vCenter in the tree of "inventory" on the left side; such, it seems that the vCenter has been saved successfully.

  If this is the case, then Yes, the connection between the vShield Manager and vCenter is good.
