• Y at - it an update for VMware ESX 4.1 update 1?

  Dear friends;

  I heard that VMware releases update for VMware ESX 4.1 update 1. Could you please tell me if this is correct?

  And would you please reference me this article?

  ESX will not available in vSphere 5.0. It will be always supported in the same way that VI 3.5 is still supported, however. Here's an official blog stating that ESX 4.1 is the latest major version of ESX.

  With the release of VMware vSphere 4.1, we announced that 4.1 will be the last version of vSphere to support the ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures.

• VMware ESX 4.0.0 in connection mit Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter (4cpu) - license

  Hallo zusammen!

  I have several questions zu obigem Sachverhalt und hope, dass mir von Euch helped werden kann.

  Wir haben einen host ESX (VMware ESX 4.0.0) den wir via vSphere von einem Windows Server aus, verwalten. Auf dem ESX host wollen wir nun start, die first VM (ins Leben zu find) zu installieren. ES sollen OS installed werden (. ser on W2K3 / W2K8 STD (R2), company / business,...).

  Wir haben also license so: 'Windows Datacenter 2008 R2 64 bit 4 CPU. After we die erste VM installed haben, wanted sharp wir mit dem Lizenzkey der Datacenter license aktivieren. Unfortunately works weder der 'Product Key', noch der 'Virtual Key'.

  WO ist mein Denkfehler? Wie die of ich lizenzsiere auf einem host ESX VM procedures meiner Datacenter license Windows-VM?

  Email ich einen KMS Server?

  Bitte um Hilfe - Danke und Grüße TIM

  Auf einem Windows-Server further

  Ich habe einen Server Hello understand before mit 4-Prozessoren (mit neuankömmlinge bis zu 6 carrots?) und eine MS Datacenter 2008R2 as 4 processors so.

  Wenn nun auf dem vShere Installierst werden die Datacenterlizenzen dem host "OS are" Host the kannst und so many different Windows Server verschiedener color installieren, wie die Maschine these.

  (Die dabei "freiwerdenden licenses können as physical system recycled werden...)

  Die Lizensierung participations eher als "Zuweisung" - stell dir vor, die of the DC licenses klebst an den Server und damit Maschine lizensiert ist die mit data center.

  The Add Installation Aktivierung paper - die Zuweisung hands oder keine.

  Bei einer Aktivierung eines W2K8 STD. servers add to the (ublicherweise) einen VLC (VolumeLizenzKey) der eine unlimitierte Aktivierung allows.

  Wenn nun keinen VLC As, so wende Dich an den suppliers der DatacenterLizenz oder direkt from MS. Mit den entsprechenden Lizenzpaieren und Kaufbelegen solltest VLC key bekommen die.

  VIELLEICHT kannst noch something konkreter werden, um welche Art DC license are all und wie bisher deine Server aktiviert Hat sich (OEM, VLC, detail mit Select vertrag, SystemBuilder...) - eine Systembuilderlizenz ACE falls.

  BTW. a hindert dich daran, every Server STD als eines virtual system einen Datacenter zu installieren? OB deine nun auch STD oder doch keine Rolle spielt so DC application.

  Wenn einen planned Server ACE, den draufklonst oder geckoos193, der dann neu aktiviert werden will ists auch kein problem.

  Einfach aktivieren und ggf. uber die Aktivierung go book.

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• VMware ESX Server 2.5.0 build-11548 - licenses can be centralized in vCenter 2.0.2?

  VMware ESX Server, version 2.5.0 build-11548

  VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618

  My current mission is with some legacy equipment and versions.

  When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add the 'module' of license to vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works well with a license from the local host and Add-ons vcenter. Version 2.5.0 host has a configured host license. I figured I could use a license for the host of the server and add vMotion, HA, DRS & as Add-ons of vCenter. Selecting the host 2.5 licenses tab is not activate 'configuration of the host' link or it lists license config below.

  Also, if I should not just use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x guests... please chime in with the grounds.

  Can the server vCenter 2.0.2 licenses treat the add-on (vMotion, HA, DRS) licenses for a range of esx 2.5.x with a local host (Server/SMP) license (s) OR even just centralized? It does for 3.0.2 without effort.

  No - vmotion, HA and DRS is not possible with ESX 2.5 - even if it was possible to use the license server centralized with VC 2.0.x these features of VI - 3 can have be used with older versions of ESX.

  If this is not the case, can I change esx 2.5.x to open ports or to start a service allowing the centralized license mgmt?

  The only way to manage centrally ESX 2.5 license is with VC - 1, x -.

• VMware ESX server update CD & 3WARE CONTROLLER

  VMware has a cd ISO labled the following: VMware ESX Server 3.5 Update 3 driver for 3ware 9650SE and 9690SA SAS HBA controllers GCCA CD.  The URL is: http://www.vmware.com/support/vi3/doc/drivercd/esx350-3w-9xxx-2.24.08.021vm35-146309.html#InstallESX

  QUESTION: Anyone know if this drive works with ESXi 3.5?  The downloads of the installation, update 3 or 4, I tried to load do not work for me.  If this does not work, can you me where the download is that he asks?  If this is not the case, the ISO EXSi can be modified to work.

  The disc is for ESX only but if necessary you can extract the driver and use with ESXi.   I had check ESXi was last updated yesterday and there is no 3ware with her driver.   See the instructions here to create an oem.tgz file - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php.  There is also a link to the 3Ware Update1/2 site of 3Ware driver.  I check which driver is more recent and use it.

• Update disk in VMware ESX 3i

  Hi all

  I recently replace the SATA 7.2 K six drive in my PowerEdge server for six SAS 15 K disks. Previously, I did my VM then restored for the new RAID volume 50 and backup. But when I start the virtual machine (centos 5) and run ' dd if = / dev/zero of = testfile2 bs = 8192 count = 12207 "the almost the same result I had with the SATA disks. My question is: VMWare ESX 3i immediately recognize the new SAS drive? Or maybe it's write the disc with the previous speed?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Amedina

  DD may be not the best tool to test the performance. In theory, the SAS drives, if you get more IOPs, dd wrote only (sequential).

  RAID 50 with only six readers isn't a really good choice either.

  Depending on your RAID controller (Perc xx? with battery backup cache write?), the bottleneck is not the disks, but the controller itself (calculation of parity on the two RAID5) and striping on the RAID50.

  Think about another provision RAID (8 disks RAID10?) and another test tool.

• several doubts with vmware esx 3.5

  guys, I had many doubts on VMware ESX. can you please answer me if you know the answers to any of the sub questions

  In the meantime thanks for all those who respond to my questions.

  (1) how to install ESX on the SAN to start on the SAN?

  (2) how to back up the database to the virtual Center Server? is it something that supports a SQL DBA or do we do as a VMware administrator?

  (3) for the installation of VCenter server, its request for the installation of the apache tomcat server. Why is this? It is with ESX 3.5

  (4) do we need a separate license for VCenter server apart from the licenses that we buy for the ESX servers?

  (5) if 2 virtual machine port groups are on two different VLANS, to send it, we need to configure a vyatta router. How can we do that if we are not a guy from Cisco?

  (6) we give only the IP numbers for a console Service and Vmkernals but not the virtual machine port groups. If so, how these virtual machines on these virtual machine port groups know what are their IP numbers? If we want a static IP number for a virtual machine, we inside windows from a virtual computer configuration?

  (7) is the Virtual Machine power off a soft stop?

  (8) what happens when we make one pause a Virtual Machine? I think that there is no option in a machine physical windows original. so, what does this mean VM break?

  (9) how many vsphere client can simultaneously access the vcenter Server?

  (3) for the installation of VCenter server, its request for the installation of the apache tomcat server. Why is this? It is with ESX 3.5

  Don't know why VM Ware chose Tomcat, they SAY THEY is not secure... No matter what.  It's just another Web server and its an option that VM Ware has chosen to work with vCenter.  It's not good or bad, just different... many people THINK apache is better, it is a matter of opinion.

  (6) we give only the IP numbers for a console Service and Vmkernals but not the virtual machine port groups. If so, how these virtual machines on these virtual machine port groups know what are their IP numbers? If we want a static IP number for a virtual machine, we inside windows from a virtual computer configuration?

  It is a way, you will realize quickly that will be a major pain.  I do like DHCP, reserve of the INVESTIGATION period.  Unless you know a way to connect to hundreds of virtual machines and change their IP remotely, this is probably the simplest method.  Unless you like make manual updates... then knock you out.

  (7) is the Virtual Machine power off a soft stop?

  Not as the name suggests it is a POWER-off.  Comments stop is a soft stop.

  (8) what happens when we make one pause a Virtual Machine? I think that there is no option in a machine physical windows original. so, what does this mean VM break?

  Confusion in the name.  It simply means 'suspend' and there is an option on physical machines... probably no servers, in the form of profiles of power are generally disabled, but it IS possible.

  (9) how many vsphere client can simultaneously access the vcenter Server?

  no theoretical limit... or I do not think that someone took the time to discover.  You will grow up to the moment where you have too many users connected to vCenter vCenter anyway... So the connections will not be reached.

• VMware ESX 3.5 and disabling carrots

  Hi all

  We have a Cluster ESX from VMware ESX 3.5 U3 that was built for a specific product that has a licensing model that doesn't fit well with the virtual server running model.

  The basis of this cluster is 3 x BL465c G1 Dual Core servers HP with 16 GB of memory each. We're going to run out of memory, and I can't add memory without add because of the architecture of AMD processors.

  Adding more CPU will have a big impact on licensing costs - once again not the licenses of VMware.

  I want to do is add a second processor DC and then use BIOS to disable half of the cores in each processor.  This will allow me to add an extra 16 GB memory per server and stay within the limits of the license.

  My question - has anyone with disabilities hearts on a host ESX from VMware, specifically after ESX has been installed. All that needs to be done?

  I tested the disabling function of carrots on a Windows Server and who did replace the drivers, I was wondering if VMware ESX should similar updates / management.

  Rob of TIA.

  You'll be fine, apart from the fact that, by adding the Jepp second you will need an additional CPU, per ESX host licensing doesn't mind.

• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  Hello guys,.

  I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

  During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

  I used this command to get the following result:

  # vmware - v

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

  ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

  If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

  I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

  Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  Also...

  ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• Update the VMware Tools?

  Last night, I ran the following command powercli hoping to update VMware tools on some of my virtual machines without having to restart the virtual machine.  The script seems to work very well as the tools to update properly, but unfortunately all the VM was restarted as soon as the update is complete.

  Can someone check my code and tell me what I am wrong?

  Get-Content "c:\scripts\txt_files\VMs.txt" | ForEach-Object {Get-VM-name $_ |} Update-tools - NoReboot - RunAsync}

  Thank you

  Jason

  Hi jason,

  the script is good. Using the update tool - NoReboot parameter is said:

  Indicates that you do not want to restart the system after the update of the VMware Tools. This parameter is supported only for the Windows operating systems. NoReboot shall provide all of the following options for the Setup program of the VMware Tools on the guest OS:

  /s /v "/qn REBOOT = ReallySuppress"

  However, the virtual machine may still restart after the update of VMware Tools, according to the currently installed version of VMware Tools and the version of VMware Tools that you want to upgrade vCenter Center/ESX versions.

  Looks like you had a version of VMware Tools requiring a reboot.

• Close VMware ESX 3.5 &amp; 4.0 hosts... What about the DRS?

  Hi experts,

  Here I begin this discussion to know the following:

  Facts:

  Farm with guests VMware ESX in u5 versions 3.5 and 4.0 U2

  DRS configured as entirely not automated, no rules.

  Issues related to the:

  What happens with DRS to deploy new virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 7?

  They will receive only on ESX 4.0u2 hosts?

  Could cause instability on the other virtual machines?

  I raise this because I have no experience in mixed environments, and I expect the DRS feature so smart that moves and power on virtual machines on hosts that are able to manage virtual machines with virtual hardware that is compatible with, I'm so innocent?

  Virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 4 can be moved throughout of these clusters 3.5 or 4.0, but what happens with VM with the newest virtual hardware?

  If they had moved in any case on a host ESX 3.5, what will be the behavior of this virtual machine?

  Last, but not least important, what do guys suggest to bypass this until I have all migrated hosts?
  (Migration of all hosts will take more than a month, support and SLA issues, so I need a workaround solution)

  Thanks in advance for your time and answers this!
  Kind regards

  Hello

  1. what happens with the DRS to deploy new virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 7?

  2. they will receive only on ESX 4.0u2 hosts?

  3 could cause instability on the other virtual machines?

  1 VM' with HW v7 will be migrated only between vSphere 4.X nodes in a cluster

  2 VM with HW v7 will be only on vSphere 4.x nodes

  3 nope

  1. I raise this because I have no experience in mixed environments, and I expect the DRS feature so smart that moves and power on virtual machines on hosts that are able to manage virtual machines with virtual hardware that is compatible with, I'm so innocent?

  2. the virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 4 can be moved throughout these clusters 3.5 or 4.0, but what happens with VM with the newest virtual hardware?

  3. If they got anyway moved on a host ESX 3.5, what will be the behavior of this virtual machine?

  4. last, but not least important, what do guys suggest to bypass this until I have all migrated hosts?
  (Migration of all hosts will take more than a month, support and SLA issues, so I need a workaround solution)

  1. Yes, the DRS will be

  2. see comments of mu above

  3. nothing will change on the behavior of the virtual machine, only VMware tool will be updated

  4. all depends on how your is configured, how is use, VM how you would deploy during the month?

  Amigos, tudo bem?

  Tenho ficado meio afastado daqui, POI felizmente nao tenho muito tempo team.

  AO invez do 'original' VMWare ESX (i).

  Gostaria of sabre is qual a voces opnião Ref. an essas Spa 2, e o vem a 'speak' or 'piorar' between 'original' versão e a Personalizada.

  E but a question, EU has um servidor ja wont 4.1 o caso e ' original' queira fazer o Update 4.1 Update 1 da versão personalizada, terei

  Agradea§o desde ja!

  Earning performance nao ha, pq hypervisor o e o mesmo. EU nao sei is o manufacturer you da suporte ao VMware caso te problema, POIS an instalacao faith feita pelo fabricating material certo?
  Verifique se o manufacturer do HW you da suporte, soi sim, mantenha a versão than silt you entregaram. Senao, insensitive e no meu ponto of vista.

• Apply all critical updates on a 'ESX Update 1' hosts = "update of ESX 2"?

  I applied 'Update 1-Complete' a few guests ESX, which worked well, but then noticed that many critical updates were waiting to apply.   With my Windows Service Pack / Update critical mentaility ceiling, I decided it was a good idea to apply all the critical updates, thinking that this leaves me in the 'day 1' so all available critical updates before the release of "Update 2".  However, after you apply all critical updates, build number seems to be "Update 2"?  I made sure the 2 update was not in the list of patches applied prior to reclamation.  So the question is, apply all the critical updates automatically asks you to a higher level of the major version.  In my case, lifting the crowd of ESX4 update 1 to ESX 4 Update 2?  I need clarification on this because I need to stay in 1 update constraints HCL.

  Thank you!

  don't get too confused, there is a bug in 4.0.x but has been fixed in 4.1.  In addition, there is a known issue in vCenter 4.0 base patches U1
