The upgrade to Vsphere5 while keeping a 4.1 cluster

I have a site of production with 2 recent hosts in a Cluster. I have 4 older guests with incompatible processors in their own Cluster

I also a recovery also site with 2 hosts in a Cluster and 3 guests in their own group.

They are all configured with ESX4.1 and managed by a Vcenter server.

This allows me to use vMotion and Storage vMotion, within each Cluster and VMs of Clone of the album Live at DR between compatible Clusters.

I can also stop a virtual machine in the Cluster more spec and run it in the lower spec one.  The lower spec machines are not certified for ESXi5.

I have 2 new high spec machines to order and I would like to install both in Production. Four high spec hosts would treat the live load so the four lower spec machines can be reinstalled to DR.  I would like to end with Vcenter 5 on my server and a single cluster of ESXi5 in the online site more an ESXi5 Cluster with two high spec machines to DR. This will work for everyday activities such as cloning. Then I would have an ESXi4.1 Cluster with up to 7 guests aged inside for additional resources in a DR situation.

From my reading, I think that 5 Vcenter could handle? Could I stop a virtual machine on a host ESXi5 and run it on an ESXi4.1 host?

Would this work?   I'd better put a new server in each site and maintain groups 5 and 4.1 on each site?

Note that I will not never be mix 5 and 4. 1 in the same Cluster

Of course vCenter 5 allows you to manage your 4.1 hosts.

You have thougt about CEV using on your cluster?

You can run a VM on ESXi 5 and migrate to a host ESXi 4.1, but you must be aware of the physical versions of your virtual machine. vSphere 5 introtuced hardware version 8, which is not supportet on ESXi 4.x hosts. If you need create your virtual machines with version 7.

Kind regards

  • How can I change the owner of a Mac while keeping the software?

    Hello

    I saw online sales of used sellers Mac with the included software. A part of the software includes Adobe CS6 Master Collection, Final Cut Pro X, Microsoft Office, etc.

    If I buy the laptop, how I would change the possession of the laptop to me while keeping the software on the computer?

    If I have to use my Apple ID, wouldn't that let me use Final Cut Pro as it is allowed to the former owner ID and not mine?

    In addition, is there advice on how to move from Final Cut Pro X (and other software) to another Mac if I happen to get another?

    Thank you

    Matthew

    Unless sellers are explicitly including transfers of software license, you cannot continue to use the software without eventually getting into trouble. Adobe CS apps can be installed on multiple machines, but they cannot be activated on two. If the 'included' software has already been activated by the previous owner, you won't be able to use it.

    The inclusion of the high-end systems used on applications should be a red flag: avoid sellers.

  • iTunes game question... If I downloaded versions of upgrade no DRM from songs matched on my hard drive and then cancel iTunes game, I'll still be able to play the upgraded version of the downloaded files then?

    Hello

    I signed up for iTunes game several weeks ago mainly to unprotected quality 256 kbps versions of songs that I bought before 2008 (when iTunes send 256 Kbps files instead of 128 Kbps of lower quality files).  When I did, about half of these old songs I had bought are accompanied by a status of 'Bought' iCloud and the rest were listed with a status of "Matched".  I was puzzled by this because it seemed to me that thought iTunes doesn't recognize no I bought have these songs.

    Finally, I have determined that the reason iTunes game didn't recognize them as bought because these 'Matched' files were bought during my AppleID had a different e-mail that are associated with account.  It's the same AppleID account, but another email.  I also found that I could still upgrade files Matched from 128 Kbps to 256 Kbps.  I also have available files of the song offline upgrade, which of course them on my hard drive.

    Because I signed up to get the files updated level, I will finally be cancelling the iTunes account Match.  Now, as many of these songs are listed as matched and not purchased, I wonder what will happen when I cancel iTunes game.  Still, I'll be able to play the downloaded files, sync with my iPhone, etc. after that game is cancelled?  In addition, there are a few songs that were purchased in the framework AppleID to my wife that currently are as well matched, and I am allowed to read files purchased with his account. I want to upgrade these files and download them as well.  When I canceled the game, will I still be able to play the improved version of his songs?

    Thanks for any information you can provide. :-)

    Hello

    Once you have downloaded the upgraded pieces, you will keep them. PS Keep another upward.

    Purchased in General securities are purchased but some will come, probably because an upgrade of the original is not possible for example that the version of the album is no longer available.

    The purchased prevoiuly of the corresponding securities does not appear under previous purchases. Also, be aware that if you need to redownload past purchases, you get the original version of the DRM 128 no upgrade.

  • I am running vista 32 bit and I think the upgrade to windows 7

    I'm running vista 32 bit and I think the upgrade to windows 7, I don't know if I choose the upgrade option, I can keep all my files and all the software that I

    installed on my laptop but that include photos, video and music and send the parameters I use outlook 2003.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Depends on which edition of Vista you use on Windows 7 edition, you can switch to.

    And as you use 32-bit, you can only switch to Windows 7 32 bit.

    32-bit to 64-bit should be done with a clean install.

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

    Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

  • What can I reinstall/upgrade Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade CD that I bought?

    Please help me with the steps I must follow to upgrade/reinstall my Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I bought the upgrade CD, but I keep reading that I can't upgrade, I have to re - install.  How do, or have I just wasted my money?

    Thank you

    David

    The two DVD come in the box of Vista Ultimate.  The same upgrade key works for both.  The procedure is to let the 32-bit version on the hard drive for the verification of license and a custom installation will work.  The hardware hash will be the same and the product key is the same for the activation servers to happen anyway as a repair installation.

  • Ethernet/Wifi keeps falling since the upgrade to windows 10 on Inspiron 7537

    After about 3 attempts to upgrade to windows 10 8.1 I clicked inadvertently this prompt annoying to try again, and finished the upgrade this time.

  • 0x8007002C error code - 0x4000D allocated (failure) the upgrade of windows 8 for windows 8.1. PC keeps trying the upgrade.

    Hello

    After hours of download and installation procedures, I met this "0x8007002C error Code - 0x4000D.
    This means that my upgrade of windows 8 for windows 8.1 failed. And not only that, now, I can't seem to stop my PC from acting on its own and to try the upgrade again and again. After running for some time, my PC is forced to restart. That's how the upgrade normal 8.0 to 8.1 takes place, only that my upgrade fails, takes hours to return to windows 8, allows me to work for a little while before doing the same thing all over again!
    I can handle Windows 8 a another couple of weeks, but like this, I'm not sure. So please help me.

    I've been running WinUp have failed upgrade from 10014 was available 2 or 3 weeks ago.  I was on the fast ring until yesterday when I saw that MSFT had issued some 10014 isos.  I have the .iso image file but I don't know any way (tell me if there are) run the file image .iso without formatting (that is the ideal situation, but I want to save my settings).

    I just wanted to say that whenever I see people have a hard time to install something, I always disable the AV, which for me is the default one built into Windows Defender) in Windows built 10. So I was failing to install on the black screen with a circle around the high proportion of progress of the installation of two weeks to get up to 70%) and disable the AV did not make a difference.

    I n ' t frankly found the explanation for this error using Google or Bing AV or otherwise. Often, I tried a bunch of forum threads Windows 10 outside but could not get a definitive explanation. I wonder why the world MSFT would not only list explicitly what are the problems without hiding it behind a series of meaningless numbers.  I hit the event viewer, and it did not help at all - as is often the case.

    Update Windows 10 Techinical Preview.

    We have restored the previous version of windows on this computer.

    0X8007002C - 0 x 30018

    I hoped when the .iso image file was released that MSFT could have improved their code for installation with Winup (fast or slow ring) to help the large percentage of people who have failed to install, but appears not to be the case.  I don't know if they have improved the code or not.

    Thank you

    I've updated to windows 8.1. Thanks to no support from Microsoft. Had to go like 50 websites and try 10 methods until I was finally able to download an iso of windows 8.1 that works with my OEM supplied windows 8.

    Try searching for the Installation of windows by using the ISO. You can download the ISO Downloader windows since Ms. If you have a windows OEM (dell / hp etc.) with built-in win8, you will have to perhaps select the iso right and install it. Once installed, go to the activation and windows with automatically activated with your authentic win8 key.

    I don't know why MS makes it so difficult to get the iso standard. Try this method. You will be saved of all evil.
