The upgrade to vsphere 4 essentials for vsphere 4.1 essentials more with 2 servers?

I currently have a Dell 2950 III with processors x 5460 double hearts running vsphere 4 essentials and I am looking at upgrading on two servers with vsphere 4 essentials more with vmotion. How do I know if I can continue to use my existing 2950 and add a Dell R610 with two hexagonal x 5680 core processors? I want to be able to run most of my guests on the new R610 but power move them back to the 2950 (which could be changed during the upgrade) and if necessary R610.

Thank you.

The only concern, you'll need to know is the processors for R710, R610, and PE 2950. You must ensure that enhanced Vmotion is supported for these inorder to three servers for vmotion (live migration) seamlessly.

I know R610 and R710 works, but I'm not sure what that generate a PE2950 you are referring. You can see the matrix here. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1003212 an another prereq is that all of these VMs must be in the shared storage and the shared storage is presented to all these 3 hosts.

  • The upgrade to vSphere + SQL Express to SQL 2005 + new vCenter Server

    Hello world

    It's the scénarion that I have today:

    A node just two HA/DRS cluster with vCenter 2.5 update 4 and two esx 3.5 update 4.

    The environment has increased enough to move from SQL Express to SQL 2005 standard. In the process, I want to upgrade the environment to vSphere and the vCenter move another box.

    I'm quite familiar with the process of vSphere upgrade but I donít know how to move the vCenter to another machine AND I do not know how to go from Express to the standard version of SQL in the process. (I have a SQL machine ready for use)

    I do not know how to handle all the changes here, I thought it would be nice to all move to the new machine and DB so that I could continue with the upgrade to vSphere, if this has meaning or not, I'm waiting for your ideas.

    I hope someone will give me some guidance on moving from SQL Express to SQL and how to move vCenter to another server (of course with a different server name and IP address)

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    I just did something very similar a few Sundays ago and it was really easy.  Refer to the section of the Upgrade Guide that talks about upgrading to vCenter on another Machine... (starts at p. 49).  We went from SQL 2003 32 bits on 32-bit Windows 2003 to SQL 2005 64-bit on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.  Both are running as VMs - vCenter 2.5 is still there only as a license server - until I get all my hosts upgraded.

  • checks before the upgrade to vSphere

    Hi all

    my whish is upgraded to esx 3.5 hosts I already to vSphere.

    I checked HCL and it seemed to be possible, but, not being only not sure about x 64 CPU tried to build 1 x 64-bit OS on each host and I received a message that it was not possible.

    So I guess I can't upgrade to vSphere.

    Am I wrong? or I can do other than buying other servers...

    I am running DL380 G5 and DELL poweredge 6850

    THX in advance,

    Daniele

    Daniele,

    It looks like there DELL shipped this server with several different processors.

    The only supported are those listed in the VMware HCL for DELL PowerEdge 6850

    It goes the same for HP DL380 G5

  • The upgrade to vSphere in an environment of BladeCenter with 15 GB hd by blade

    Hi all

    I have a test environment with a BladeCenter S chassis with 2 hs21 xm blades with esx 3.5 update 4 configured as a cluster 2 nodes. I would like to use this as a test environment for all update scenarios 3: update manager, update of host and new installation utility.

    My blades have 15 GB of local disk on a solid space state double drive, now I know the minimum suggested for COS is 8 GB, 10 GB every, but my current layout of disc (the default installation of esx 3.5) will not put the COS. VMDK in local storage, which is something I don't like for future production upgrades of the scenarios. This is my current layout:

    Disk/dev/sda: 14.9 GB, 14999879680 bytes

    Heads of 64, 32 sectors/track, 14305 cylinders

    Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes

    Device boot start end blocks Id system

    / dev/sda1 * 1 100 102384 83 Linux

    / dev/sda2 101 5100 5120000 83 Linux

    / dev/sda6 12225 14206 2029552 83 Linux

    14207 14305 CF 101360 unknown sda7

    As you can see that my current local data store is about 6 GB, which is not enough. I was wondering if there is something I could do to make room for the COS. VMDK

    Another curiosity I have is what happens if I do a new install of vSphere? He will be able to use this space to put the COS. VMDK locally? I guess it will be since I tested vSphere on a Virtual Machine with 10 GB drive and it worked.

    I hope someone can give me a hint on how to set the COS locally without a new installation. Thanks in advance for your support.

    Device boot start end blocks Id system

    It's the VMFS partition. Can be deleted as long as it's empty (do not want to lose your virtual machines)

    f/dev/sda4 2688000 14305 11681 Win95 Ext'd (LBA)

    Beginning of the extended partition. Cannot be changed unless you move all of the contained partitions also.

    Swap partition, referenced in/etc/fstab with label, UUID, or/dev/sda5. Can be spoiled safely with as long as you update fstab to point to the correct swap ultimately partition

    root or/var partition

    14207 14305 CF 101360 unknown sda7

    vmkcore partition, not critical

    My suggestion would be to try to remove the vmfs partidion and expand your second linux partition to be large enough to hold the contents of what is in/dev/sda6. Then copy, for example, using rsync and put to day/etc/fstab to mount/dev/sda6.

    Then, you should be able to remove the whole extended partition and reuse free space to build a new vmfs, swap and vmkcore.

    Keep in mind that these are destructive operations - you can start making an image DD of the entire disk to another location, like a drive USB or NFS share on the network. In this way you can restore all of the disk using dd if = of = / dev/sda if you need to.

  • The upgrade to vSphere clean install of P2Ving old Vcenter

    I searched the Forum, and I have not found any discussion on this topic... again.

    I'm not so sure that this discussion should be in this forum or a forum for Vmware converter... But I would like to put these questions to you in any case.

    Scenario:

    We're on ESX 3.5u3 now, with 22 guests and 1 server (physical) vCenter. We have chosen the Installer Clean way for infrastructure. As well as create the new vCenter as a virtual machine on a stand-alone host ESXi 4 server.

    Because we are running out of material, we will follow this course of action.

    1 P2V current vCenter Server on a virtual machine, so that we can still vCenter features during the upgrade/rebuild process

    2 rebuild the old Server vCenter as a host ESXi 4.

    3. building the new vCenter Server 4 as a virtual machine with Win2k8R2 etc etc and create a new database as well

    4. then rebuild each of our ESX 3.5u3 hosts 2 both as 4u1 ESX or any update is the most recent.

    5. once all hosts are reconstructed as ESX 4 we will then turn off the old server vCenter 2.5 VM and reactors as well as the old database.

    5. then, of course, we will convert VM material on each guest one by one.

    That's what I understand as a fairly straightforward environmental own reconstruction.

    The questions I have are pretty simple, but I want to get as much input as possible:

    1 will be the Server P2V process freak out vCenter vCenter when we reboot as a virtual machine?

    2. can I use Vmware on the server vCenter converter to convert to a virtual machine and is not a problem when restarting a virtual machine?

    Your comments are much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Yes... just point vconverter of an ESX Server, provide the root password /, choose data store and go.

    Does anyone know a way to install without having to reinstall the entire system again?

    Hmm, I assume that you will not need to boot from the CD of Vista Business, but you have to start the DVD of Vista Business running Vista Home Edition.

    However, I m not 100% sure, but I guess that it s the same procedure like an update of Win XP Home Pro.

    Response PLZ! It's my first time handling HP products and I don't want it to end like this...

    Thank you!!

    Yes, this was not a choice good processor if you want to do demanding tasks. You have the N3700 processor which is a low power (both in terms of calculation and electricity) designed for long battery life, without not demanding calculation.

    http://cpuboss.com/CPUs/Intel-Pentium-N3700-vs-Intel-Core-i3-5010U

    It is as powerful as an i3, about 85-90%, which isn't really too bad considering how little juice it uses.

    See p. 16 of the manual here, with 2 messages. The CPU is soldered to the Commission is not able to be upgraded separately, and the only processors available on this model are low power. And a motherboard would cost about as much as the laptop.

    Repair manuals

    Believe it or not, the top of the page processor is the M3 Skylake which runs at 900 mhz, but is even more powerful than the N3700, but not a lot.

  • Since the upgrade to 31.1.0, I can't send an email with an attachment. I'm under OpenSuse 13.1 on KDE. How can I fix?

    If I try to send an email with an attachment or a picture inserted, it starts to send with a progress bar that will read a 80 to 95% completion and then stay there until it times out after a few minutes. I get this error: failed to send the message.
    The message cannot be sent because the connection to the server of SMTP outgoing.verizon.net expired. Try again or contact your network administrator.
    I use the same provider of e-mail for several years. This works for emails of simple texts without problem. If I try to transfer or to respond to an email, I get the same error.
    How can I fix?

    Thank you

    Robert

    OK, I thought about it. As I was going through the configuration editor, I saw the outgoing server settings. It made me wonder if something had changed. I went to my provider and reinforced through their list and found where mine differ. If the update for thunderbird changed something or verizon changed something.
    Thanks for the comments.

  • Questions about the upgrade to vSphere Essentials

    My group is looking to upgrade our ESXi (free) installation to vSphere Essentials. Before do us, I have a few questions (I tried calling & commercial VMWare email, but no one seems to be there):

    1. We have an existing ESXi to install, and we'll add a 2nd machine to host VMs can I use vCenter (from Essentials) to manage two computers?

    2. Requirements for vCenter status she has 2 CPUs, 4 GB of memory and 3 GB of disk space for up to 50 guests. However, we have 2 guests and we add a 3rd host is far in the future (in years). Can we run vCenter on an existing installation of windows server 2003? We have a server that meets these requirements, but it also makes other tasks (some calculations, files and backup service). Given these lighter constraints, will that be enough to manage our two hosts?

    Memory is a problem I think. But my vCenter with 9 guests and 150 VM a average 2-5% CPU load with 1 quad Xeon, so don't worry is not the CPU.

    Local Oracle DB installed on the machine of vCenter.
