vCenter 5.1 Standard - can not handle Essentials ESXi hosts more?

Hi all!

I have 12 vSphere Essentials servers and 16 vSphere Enterprise. I have a Standard of vCenter Server manage each of them.

I installed my server vCenter 5.0 to 5.1 (3 hours). Now, when I opened vCenter, some of these Essentials hosts have a red flag next to them with the following alert: "alert editing host license is not compatible with the license vCenter Server edition.

Research tells me that my Essentails hosts now require a server vCenter of Essentials to manage them and even worse, there can only be three hosts of Essentials by Essentials vCenter server. Please, someone tell me that the internet was lying.

I should mention that four servers with red flags warnings are essential, v5.x elements. The other servers are running v4.x and do NOT display the alert.

Friends of ideas?

-Dave

From a license point of view, it has always been thus. A vSphere essentials Kit is made up 1 vcenter Server Essentials and 6 processor licenses for up to 3 guests and these licenses may only be used in conjunction.

of http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/esx_esxi_eula.html

VMware VMware vSphere Essentials licenses or VMware vSphere Essentials Plus editions (collectively, "editions") you only to manage the server up to three 3 hosts and your use of these editions is limited to servers with up to two processors. For these editions, the host server must be managed by the VMware vCenter Server that comes with these editions, and this same VMware vCenter server cannot be used to manage other hosts from server not included with these editions.

The only exception is vSphere Essentials for retail sales and branches, which can be centrally managed from a single server vCenter Server (see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf)

  • Question by QNXStageWebView: "browser can not handle web page.

    Has anyone seen this behavior before / can anyone suggest a remedy.

    An HTML page I show in a QNXStageWebView component (with all the properties to values by default, for example, allow JavaScript, allow plugins, etc.) has a link to this URL:

    http://appworld.BlackBerry.com/WebStore/content/41285/

    Click on the link leads to failure. IIRC, I saw both of these messages in the exception dialog boxes:

    This behavior occurs in both debug and release build (OS 2.0.1.358) and works very well in a regular web browser.

    If your license key allows, update your VMware Workstation version 7.1.4

    Otherwise, at least upgrade your VMware Workstation to version 7.0.1

  • Upgrade standard Essentials ESXi hosts

    I'm considering the purchase of vCenter Standard.  I now have 4 hosts and will be seized from 6-7 long and centralized management would help a lot.  The hosts are 5.5 Essentials ESXi, and my understanding is that I would need Essentials upgrade to the standard.  What is the process here?  Is it simply a matter of installing the license of vSphere Standard on the hosts?  Or I need to install new software?

    No need to reinstall. Just replace the license keys for vCenter Server and hosts.

  • vCenter 5.1.0b does not support vSphere ESXi 5.0.0?

    I came across a weird error today at work.

    Immediately after installing vCenter 5.1.0b, I tried to add a host to a data center newly created ESXi 5.0.0.

    I met an error that said, vCenter does not support the hosts of this type.

    I thought, really?  The compatibility matrix says it does.

    At this time, I left for the day and will answer on Monday.

    In the meantime, is someone met such a mistake?

    vCenter... can't stand the hosts of this type.

    Could you please provide the exact error message!

    At what stage of the wizard have "Add host" you received the error message?

    How the host is currently allowed? With the free license of the hypervisor?

  • Can no longer add ESXi host to vCenter but OK VI Client connects

    I removed an ESXi host in a cluster on vCenter. Now when I try to add the host (whether for the cluster or stand-alone) the add hosts Wizard appears and has the correct information, but when I cliquerai on closing, that nothing happens for a few minutes, then I get the error:

    Unable to reach the specified host... Maybe it's because this host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on the host services do not react.

    However, I can connect to the host directly with the VI client and which works very well, even though the events tab displays "VFAT: 2583: Possible FAT Corruption." My copy of ESXi is on a flashdrive in a HP Blade.

    I tried to reboot the host, but it makes no difference. Several of the responses to other users of similar problems is recommended to perform "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the host, but this does not apply to ESXi. I also tried to restart the vCenter, but that makes no difference either.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Will be

    Download iso hpvm-recovery on HP site and reinstall ESXi on flash drive.

    UPD: Yes, as Neil said, check your key USB HP if you bought ESXi Embedded. If you have the Green key aluminum, require the replacement of HP. And then, you definitely have to download iso that I mentioned above

  • Firefox can not delete history automatically any more?

    Some time ago, it became impossible to make Firefox automatically delete the history through Tools/Options/Privacy. But it was still possible to manipulate it by going to about: config and change browser_history.expire.days. I used this to 3, then Firefox would remove my story after 3 days as I wanted.

    But now money on config I find browser_history.expire.days.min and browser_history.expire.days.mirror. I guess the thing 'min' means that FF should keep my story at least X days, one I don't know.

    All those browser_history.expire.days thingies are however made 3 for me. And FF won't always clear my history.

    But then how can I get FF to delete automatically? Firefox has really become unable to make such a fundamental thing that deleting history automatically after a certain number of days user-defined?

    See: How to clear history

    If you do not want to have Firefox keep historical never, tick the option called private browsing Permanent mode on the second picture in the link above.

    You can also clear the history manually by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE and choosing options in the "time range to clear" at the top.

    N.B. Since the release of Firefox 4.0.x days Firefox will remember history is directly related to the system hardware. Firefox calculates how much history to keep without impact on the performance of the system. You can not change this.

  • How to run the OS that can not change to guest host cannot copy files to host (for close examination).

    Hello, I have a question when I try to use the OS quest for final close examination students. What I want to do is:

    (1) after start the guest operating system students could not go back to host BONE until it stop the BONE invited.

    (2) in the guest operating system, the students could not visit all the folders in the file system of the host operating system.

    I'd rather have this feature (the OS is Linux):

    (1) once the connection in the operating system (Linux) as a user, like st01, host geust OS start automaticlly.

    (2) after the BONE, disconnection of the user of the operating system host automaticlly invited shutdown.

    In this case, students could make close examination on the guest OS without any knowledge on the host operating system and also unable to read something on the host operating system.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Welcome to VMare forums!

    Yes, you can do it.

    The trick is to use a window manager alternative such as icewm to which you connect and have a session that begins vmplayer or you.

    So instead of connecting to gnome or kde, you log in vmware player (which is the only application that you start at this session.

    Create a new user. Example: vmplayer

    Next, create a file in this /home/vmplayer/.xsession home directory

    nano /home/vmplayer/.xsession
    

    Add this information in the file.

        #!/usr/bin/env bash
        /usr/bin/icewm &
        sleep 3
        exec /usr/bin/vmplayer -X /home/vmplayer/VirtualMachine/vm.vmx
    

    Now make it executable

    chmod + x .xsession

    Make sure that it is owned by vmplayer

    chown vmplayer.vmplayer /home/vmplayer/.xsession

    This has been discussed in the Format of Linux magazine.

  • How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

    I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

    I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

    Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

    Thank you

    Tom

    No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

    I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

  • Trying to create a shared via iSCSI storage. Storage shows is not the second ESXI host

    I created an iSCSI lun and gone through the process of adding it to my first ESXI host. It displays well in storage adapters-> Details and I can also add as a data store.

    When I try and the same thing on my second ESXI, the iSCSI host does not appear under storage adapters-> Details (although properties are correct within the parameters of the iSCSI software card) and I can not add it as a data store.

    If I remove compleatley from the first host I can then add it to the second, but (I think) need in the two hosts to use a shared storage?

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Thank you

    What iSCSI solution do you use? Are there limits set on the number of connections?

  • How can I move an ESXi host to another?

    Hello

    I have 2 ESXi hosts running on similar hardware. SSH is enabled on both hosts. I need to move all the VMs from one host to another. What will be the most effective way to do it?

    Most average effecitive: buy vSphere Essentials, configure vCenter, connect the two hosts, virtual machines turn off, do a right click and "migrate." 1 k$ for 3 hosts and vCenter.

    Less effective, but cheaper way: turn off virtual machines, copy VMs to an another ESXi, search for all data, made store .vmx files right-click and "add to the inventory.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro can not handle time zones?

    I normally work in Texas, but at the moment I am in San Francisco. I've updated the time zone on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 system accordingly. When I try to certify a PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.3.3 my digital signature (which I just created on the PDF) is considered invalid by Adobe Acrobat because it "seems to be in the future."


    The best I can explain it, here's what seems to be the case:

    1. My computer is set to the Pacific time zone. It is 11:44 AM PDT
    2. I digitally certify a PDF document.
    • Signature properties say the date is 2010-07-28 13:44:36 - 05 '00'.
    • The time stamp included with the signature is dated 28/07/2010 13:44:36 - 05 '00'

    For some reason, Acrobat Pro thinks that the signature is not valid because she seems to be in the future. Why

    is not Acrobat Pro smart enough to handle time zones?


  • I am uncertain as to how this error can occur. I use a timestamp server (http://tsa.starfieldtech.com) in my digital signature timestamp. There seems to be no preferences in Acrobat for support for time zones, so it must determine the local time clock system, but without the context of the zone.
  • Hi Sasha,

    Acrobat turned when you reset the time system? If the time original system (actually the GMT offset) has been loaded into memory at launch and doesn't not reset itself when you changed the system preferences. Acrobat should be able to get the new GMT offset, see you are at - 7:00 (PDT) and make the changes accordingly.

    As you may have noticed, in what concerns the digital signatures, all times are "generalized time Format." Many people confuse this "hour of Europe" because the month comes first, but it's an ISO standard, where the time starts to the year.
