The trial of ESXi 3.5 to vsphere ESX 4.0 upgrade problem.

Configure a test host ESXi 3.5 with 2 virtual machines running on it and I now want to upgrade to vsphere ESX 4.0, but where in the heck do I get the zip file needed to use Update Manager?

I'll buy the Essentials bundle, but I want to test the upgrade before doing the actual upgrade, and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Help!

It is for ESXi, and matter.

This is the main directory of patches

https://www.VMware.com/mySupport/download/

.. But if you try to go to ESXi ESX, you can not upgrade, this is a regeneration.

  • Move the VM of ESXi 3.5 to Vsphere 4.0 (host chang & data store)

    I have a server ESXi 3.5 with 1.6 to with 20 VM local storage.

    Now, I want to continue to set up a cluster with a fiber channel storage. I want to know if this procedure is correct:

    Can I migrate the computer virtual host that esxi 3.5 for the new Vsphere 4.0 host connected to the SAN fiber channel?

    Are compatible vm ESXi3.5 to vspehere 4.0?

    once migrated all the VM I want format host ESXi 3.5, install Vsphere 4.0 and set the two servers in HA.

    ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 vsphere host must have the same processor?

    THANK YOU TOO MUCH.

    Hello

    You can move vms from 3,5 to 4, first of all, look at that if you move virtual machines in an othe data store, you must use svmotion or take off your virtual computer.

    You can run 3.5 vms in an esx 4 without problem. So if you want to enjoy the v4, you must first upgrade vmware tools, and the last step is to upgrade the virtual machine virtual material.

    Move all the VMS to the v4, and then reinstall the other server with esx4.

    Check the vmotion compatibility matrix and evc cluster parameters, you can mix processors intel, but not mix between amd and intel.

    hope find it you useful.

  • How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?

    Hello everyone.

    Can someone help me with registration

    of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I

    certainly do not understand.

    My goal is to install and use ESXi

    4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for

    more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?

    Installation of its products

    gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few

    suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,

    I will be grateful.

    I'll write what I did:

    1. I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.

    2. I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.

    3. Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
      the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exe

    4. Installation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.

    5. I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.

    6. Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".

    7. I have
      Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
      the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
      find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
      "for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
      for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?

    8. I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
      I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
      Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
      Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?

    As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?

    To register the serial number in your ESX4i host

    Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)

    Tab Configuration

    Left side - features licensed

    Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key

    Paste your key

    Confirm all

    Your ESXi server is now fully licensed

    Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

  • copy the files from the Mac to ESXi

    Hello world

    I have Fusion 7 Pro installed on Macbook pro machine. After you convert a pre-existing VM format OVA (export OVF tool), I wanted to transfer to ESXi (Esxi installed on Mac Pro) data store but don't know how to do this?

    I can connect to my ESXi host using the Fusion (connect to server), but I'm unable to browse data stores. I tried to drag and drop, but that doesn't seem to work either. Am I missing any setting that will allow the drag and drop option? Is there another way to copy my Fusion VMs to ESXi host?

    Thank you

    As far as I know, Fusion 7 Pro does support load / download of the VM to ESXi directly.

    You basically have to connect to the server esxi first. Then on the desired VM Fusion existing (from the VM library) right-click and select Tlchg.

  • After the migration of ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 Update 1, ESXi containing the missing data store

    I intend to upgrade to an ESXi 4.1 production host, but I want to run through an upgrade of test on a separate machine. I created this using a virtual machine and the upgrade went well. However, now when I insert my vSphere client, I don't see the data store that contains data to my VM.

    Before migrating to 5, I had 2 drives, a disk of 4 GB for ESXi, and a 40 GB drive for the data of the VM installation. I could see and access times stores via the 4.1 vSphere client, but once the upgrade only the VM data store is available. Is there a reason that this is the case?

    I've updated but has not changed the partitions of data store. I have selected to migrate and keep the VMFS store, which was VMFS-3. I also tried to add the store drive 4 GB with the customer data, but an error message: "the selected disk already has a vmfs data store or the host cannot perform a conversion of partition table.
    Select another disk.

    I found this article on error message: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2000454 , but I never actually removed from the data store. With the help of the 5.0 ESXi update I can see the VMFS store on 4 GB drive, which should have about 3.2 GB of available disk space (the rest being used by the hypervisor).

    Recommended someone else try esxconfig-volume - the list, and then use the output to a mount (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1666168#1666168), but the list command had no output at all.

    I searched through the forums and Google but you saw nothing.

    ESXi 5 has a different architecture, and I think that the problem is the size of the disk (too small) and the partition of scratch required.

  • Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

    Dear all,

    I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

    I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

    I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

    The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

    I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

    Help, please.

    Kind regards

    Tommy

    If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

    So with the CPS, you need a little less.

    The syntax is like:

    SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

    Thank you pour your answers,

    Hi Anthony,.

    Welcome to the forums.

    The vCenter allows not only to manage a fleet of ESX servers but brings you above all plenty of technical solutions to pay to the insurer a better use and availability of your virtual infrastructure: HA, VMotion, DRS, cloning...

    Initially, the CPUs fitted to the Proliant ML350 G4 do not support the Intel VT function. You don't Pourrat so no installation of 64 - bit virtual machine. So, you don't Pourrat not use the VMA that is based on a 64 - bit CentOS.

    This page has the ventilation kit with what each brings to the table: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/small_business_editions_comparison.html

    Made this page (in the store): http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/vsphere_purchaseoptions.html

    As soon as you want to use one of the best features, such as the management of one or more hosts with vCenter Server, you must purchase a license. You don't also get really good features such as vMotion, Update Manager, HA, DR, etc...

    The way I see it, whether it is for a business setting, purchase the appropriate license, with the SnS and vCenter Server... For home test labs, often the free version is everything you can to allow/get... Just keep in mind, that it limits what you can test in this environment...
