• 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 -.

• ESX Server 3.5 upgrade auf 4.1

  Hallo community values,

  ICH stehe vor einem is small problem und ich möchte euch einen overview binding kurz:

  • -2 x VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build 130756 (Clustermode, Dell Poweredge M600, Xeon X 5460, 32 GB of RAM)

  • -VMware Update Manager 1.0.0.63985

  Wie ihr an den Versionen seht, wurde das Szenario recht und ich darf nun hand dress is stiefmütterlich. Are das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX 4.1 ware dies laut ESX Compatibility Guide U3) zu heben. Planned do ware:

  • -Host ESX al auf ESX Server 3.5 Update 5
  • -Removal of guest VMs auf vCenter Server 4.1.0.17435 und der

  ICH sprach von Version 4.1 therefore, weil erwahnt oben the hattest "Das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist es, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX Compatibility Guide ware ESX 4.1 U3 dies laut) zu heben". Durchgehend Wenn Version 5.1 (für die ESXi hosts, eingebaute Komponenten wie NW maps..., storage system) supported the ist, ist dies of course also possible. Die die aktuell probably VM mit HW Version 4 laufen should damit auch laufen (see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007240)

  Die Lizenzkeys as ESX and ESXi sind die gleichen und wenn eine aktive subscription As (oder zum als vSphere covered at least 5 released wurde hattest) you can the uber das my VMware die auf die Version upgraden equivalent licenses portal.

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

• Command updating ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 build #207095

  I have a server ESX 3i, 3.5.0 build from 207095 and I'm trying to update with the latest patch (ESXe350-201302401-O - SG.zip) which I copied to a folder on the local drive:

  "/ vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches / '.

  I run the commands:

  «esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip b»

  ... as well as

  "esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip d.

  ... and it is for me to give a new prompt. That means that means and why I can't update my installation?

  I also extracted the original zip file and created these sub zip files:

  "ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip".

  "ESXe350-201302401-T - BG.zip" and

  "ESXe350-201302401-C - SG.zip.

  ... I tried the command on them as anything does not.

  How can I get this patch inistalled?

  What is the right syntax?

  Thanks P.A.!

  Your post led me to the answer here:

  VMware KB: Image of ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD

  I missed an update and for this reason I have to do a clean install as shown in the link above.

  My version can't do any update or update more!

  What you need to know about the key Secure Update *.

  (

  ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD image (2000593)

  This Installable CD contains ESX Secure Key Update ESXe350-201012401-I-BG.

  For more information about this fix, see Critical Impact: VMware ESXi 3.5, Patch ESXe350-201012401-I-BG: apply this hotfix to continue to apply patches on the ESXi 3.5 hosts after June 2011 (1030002).

  NOTE: If you have not applied this patch by June 1, 2011, you will not be able to then apply patches. To get your updated hosts up-to-date with ESX Server 3i 3.5 version is to apply this Installable CD as new installation. You can also switch to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 Installable.

• 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.

• Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3

  Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.

  They use:

  VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271

  VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826

  Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.

  / T.

  Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• The "Console" tab fails on servers on a host ESX Server 3.5.0

  Hello

  On one of our server VMware ESX 3.5.0 123630 hosts, I get an error message when I try to use the "Console" tab on the servers located on the ESX Server.

  The error message "unable to connect to the host esx006.sb.local: a connection attempt fails, because the connected party did not properly after a period or the connection failed because the connected host has failed."

  This ESX Server is configured as all the other ESX servers in our environment, so I don't understand why it does not work on the ESX Server.

  I have no problems connecting to the ESX Server and I have no problems connecting to servers through the mstsc.

  I have the following VMware Infrastructure customers installed on my computer:

  -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5

  -VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0

  -VMware vSphere Client 4.1

  To connect to the above mensioned ESX Server, I use the client "VMware Infrastructure Client, Version 2.5.0 Build 147704".

  Can you help me solve this mystery?

  Kind regards

• Shut down or migrate VM offline (on a disconnected ESX Server)

  We have 4 ESX servers in our infrastructure. After a failure of three of them under tension, but there is not (esx-02).

  On this host, we have virtual machine called f12-dns-02. Now esx - 02 is disconnected, but this always considered virtual machineis as running, why?

  We can't stop it or move to another host (each option is disabled).

  How can turn us this machine to another esx Server?

  

  The virtual machine must be registed for this ESX host running vmware-cmd commands. and if you are in the directory of the virtual machine then you can use #vmware - cmd vm.vmx stop

  #vmware - cmd vm.vmx stophard

  If the second command does not work, try again with a space between the stop and hard

  So without the SSH access, I think that what you use is device of vMA.

• Legend on the screen of the ESX Server

  Hello

  I have two x 3550 of IBM servers.

  I have install ESX on my first server.

  Because of the problem on the motherboard, I put hard disks that stood on the raid1 in to another server in x 3550 IBM.

  After the reconstruction of hard drive (raid 1) and when ESX started, I saw a strange legend.

  In my ESX server appeared with a caption in red letters:

  "(TSC: cpu0 1918613 ) Init: 461: The Disable/No run run CPU is enabled for this machine.

  What is average?

• How can I remove a non-existent target ESX server from the list of vMA?

  I added some ESX servers at VMAs using "lt & sudo vifp addserver; hostname & gt; ».  These servers have been removed before removing the VMA.  Since they are not online, I get the message when you do "sudo vifp removeserver & lt; hostname & gt; "below.  How can I remove them from the list of targets vMA?  Thank you.

  Error: Unable to connect. Please make sure that the server is in place and is a supported version.

  If you are using the latest version of vMA 4.0, you should be able to do the following:

  sudo vifp removeserver  --force
  

  When it ask for password, just type in whatever she should remove just with strength of the management host.

  You can also take a look in the vMA configuration file that keeps track of hosts under management and erase the old entries:

  / etc/VMware/viconfig/viconfig. XML

  / Home/VI-admin /. VMware/credstore/vicredentials. XML

  Who gives a try and see if it helps, it is always advisable to withdraw before the host decommission but option 1 work usually, from what I've seen.
