  • Question for ESXi or VMware Server guest operating system license

    Hello - I'm sure it's more a matter of Microsoft, but I have not found anything definitive - perhaps people who use really this out...

    My goal is to create two virtual servers from MS Windows 2008 Std 64 bit on the server of VMWare or ESXi installable. I bought Windows 2008 Std, 11 (a phyiscal and a virtual) licenses. Is I meet problems by using only 11 license to create two virtual servers? I'll have to buy another copy of MS Windows 2008 std 1 + 1 to create two virtual servers?    THX.

    -steve

    Its one of these licenses MS issues, but it relates to virtualization because you intend to virtualize it so here's the guide, you can check http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/C/A/FCAB58A9-CCAD-4E0A-A673-88A5EE74E2CC/Windows_Server_2008_Virtual_Tech-VL_Brief-Jan_09.docx and the best way to check is to call MS support for free since MS tends to change they licenses positions often is the only way to ensure that its accuracy.

  • How to install ESXi 5.1 Server DELL with ESXi 5.5 installed on IDSDM?

    Hello

    We get a new DELL server that gets 5.5 ESXi installed on IDSDM.

    Given that we are still using ESXi 5.1, we want to set up this server to make it work also ESXi 5.1 update 3.

    There are 2 physical disks in SAS, which has been configured as RAID1.

    We would like to know when we install ESXi 5.1, ought to move the disk RAID1 or IDSDM cards?

    If IDSDM cards are preferred, is used for the local HD in RAID?

    If we should install on local RAID HD, can we use IDSDM as SSD for ESXi host cards?

    Thank you

    In addition, if we install in the HD, can we use the SD card to ESXi host? : - You can install in HD and SD card is used to keep the backup in case of failure of HD of ESXi image. To do this, you must put the image cache in the SD card.

    If you install in the SD card, then you must configure the scratches in HD because of the constraint of space with CD card.

  • Customer Web for ESXi

    Hello

    I just installed ESXi 5 on my bare metal server to deploy instances on this subject.

    I am installing vSphere Client to log in to the server.

    Since I use the freeware version of ESXi, am I allowed to use the web client and how?

    I'm sorry for the newbie question, I'm new in VMware.

    Thank you!

    Since I use the freeware version of ESXi, am I allowed to use the web client and how?

    No, because to use vSphere Web Client, you'll need vCenter server and even if you have vCenter Server, you will be able to manage your free hypervisor, ESXi with vCenter Server, you will need to license your vSphere host too.

  • UPS for ESXi installation tips House + NAS installation

    wanting advice on UPS system for home installation of VMware. our neighborhood is to have summer blackouts for hours these days.

    I have an an ESXi 5.1u2 Server ESXi on a usb key with a SSD for the cache.

    want the ups to shut down the VM with elegance on the NAS, then stop the ESXi server gracefully.

    I can plug a UPS into the NAS via USB and have the SIN 'shutdown' but I know not if that normally stops the virtual machine first then ESXi server?

    I have not idea what to use for the ESXi server. It can be as simple as connect a USB to a UPS in the ESXi server and configure something in vSphere but I "just guessing

  • Support for Perl SDK for ESXi vmclone.pl without vCenter

    I try to use version 5.5 of SDK Perl vmclone.pl.  I have an ESXi with VM Server I want to clone remote.  However, when I try to invoke the perl scipt, I get an error "Operation is not supported by the current agent.

    I was led to believe that the Perl SDK works on ESXi without vCenter Server.  Is this correct?  My mistake for another reason?

    vSphere SDK for Perl can run on ESXi and vCenter, this is just an interface with the API. However, in the case of cloning that is a feature, it is only exposed when vCenter Server is in the picture. You cannot issue a clone operation directly on an ESXi host and this is why the fault was lifted.

  • Where to download an update of product for ESXi

    Hello world.

    I recently had the course Vmware Fast Track (ESXi 5.1) and I am a VCP5-VTC certification.

    I got a little confused with the ESXi upgrade continuously, so I would like to read it again.

    I managed to download ESXi 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 and vSphere last trial.

    Am I right to say that vSpere will be 5.5 & retro-compatible with 5.0,5.1?

    I try to find "option groups" so that I can simulate an upgrade, but I find only the install ISO images.

    Or did I miss something, I'm supposed to use installation ISO Images to upgrade?

    See you soon

    Martin

    Note: Discussion moved successfully to downloads on VMware ESXi 5

    Hello and welcome to the communities.

    The Patch Portal has news for ESXi. vCenter Server you will get just the ISO last and it will allow you to spend with her.

    For examining the compatibility, see the product VMware interoperability matrices.

    Good luck in your VTC VCP5!

  • Necessary for ESXi 5.0 RAID?

    Hi all

    I am quite new to this VMware and it's our first test of society on the implementation of the VM solution to our test environment.

    So please be generous if my question is redundant or I'm a bad advice.

    Our server is HP Proliant DL380 G5 server, and we bought the license VMware Essential Kit.  (installing ESXi 5.0 planning)

    As most of you already know, HP servers have this thing SmartStart which helps the user RAID disks before installing so that cases of dysfunction of a disk, the mirror will do its job until the fix.

    But when I was reading the other articles, it is said that esxi will not recognize software RAID?

    Also, no ESXi have some type of built in resources distribution system that allows virtual machines to function even if one or two hosts readers a malfunction?

    Corrections, suggestions and questions are welcome.

    Moreover, since it is the test environment, HP box is the only host (about 3.8 TB) and we intend to run about 4 ~ 5 VMs.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    most of the DL380 G5 models come with a built in P400 SmartArray RAID controller, which is a hardware RAID controller supported. The RAID functionality is completely transparent for ESXi in this case (for example, rebuilding after a fialure). So nothing to worry about this controller

    Regarding the size of disk/RAID you mentioned, you may need to divide the RAID in several logical volumes using the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) as a result of a problem with the currently used driver (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2006942). I would recommend that you create a logical volume of 10 GB for ESXi and divide the disc space remaining in two logical volumes for use VMFS data warehouses.

    BTW. the controller has BBWC (battery backed write cache)? This is very important and makes a HUGE difference in the performance of the disk.

  • SSH and Syslog in ESXi 5

    Hello

    I enabled the syslog collector on my host ESXi 5.

    When I then enable SSH host returns the following error:

    The host of "Hostname:51" has become inaccessible. Remotelogging to this host has stopped.

    Can these two not work in tandem together?

    Thank you

    Peter.

    Simply ignore this is an informational message indicating that the host ssh has been activated for the administrator

    This message is from (i) ESX 4.X

    If you want to disable, you must stop the services on esxi 4.x

    for esxi 5 you can surprise these alerts

    1. Select the ESXi host in the inventory.
    2. Click the Configuration tab.
    3. Under the software, click Advanced settings.
    4. Click UserVars.
    5. Change the value of UserVars.SuppressShellWarning to 1.
    6. Click OK.

  • Transfer of virtual machines from a server ESXi 3.5 to new ESXi 4.1 server. What is the procedure.

    I read on how to transfer a virtual machine from one server to another using VMotion. Not 100% clear on the process again. What I see or read is when you do this since an ESXi 3.5 Server ESXi 4.1 server, I do not see any information on, if possible. In addition, I have not read if I need to convert or upgrade the virtual machine until I use it on the new server. So, my question is, are there any special instructions, conversion tools to convert a VM created 3.5 to use on the new Server 4.1? Is there a detailed procedure that I have not yet found or read best describes this process. Like I said up to now I'm not 100% clear on the procedure. Thank you.

    ESX 3.5 VMs can run without modification on a host ESXi 4.1 - VMotion between the two hosts, you will stiil need to ensure CPU compatibility between the hosts.

    Maybe it's the best guid for upfrading to vSphere - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf
