vCenter - ESXi version compatibility

Similar Questions

• Can I share a store of data between vcenter and a host of non-vcenter ESXI?

  Is it dangerous to grant access to the free ESXI 'edition' host licensed to an iSCSI LUN that is used by a VCENTER environment, if ESXI versions match? Can the free edition store and run virtual machines, located in the same VMFS data store that contains the virtual used by VCENTER environment computer?

  This will work. You can however ensure that vCenter Server and the free hosting service do not attempt to access the same virtual machines at the same time (although file locking should avoid problems). Don't forget the storage features as control e/s may not be able to function properly in such a case, because the free hosts are not under its control.

• MD vCenter Plugin version 2.5 problem storage array

  Hello

  OK, I installed the MD storage array vcenter plugin version 2.5 on my server vcenter.

  However, on my PC when I run the VI client I see under manage plugins, the ability to download and install the plugin. When I do that it fails with the error below:

  Storage array Dell MD-plug-in vCenter of Dell, Inc. 02.50.3600.0020
  People with disabilities
  Dell MD storage array
  Manager vCenter
  The following error occurred during the download of the plugin script of https://172.xx.xx.xx:8088 /
  vcenterconfig/configuration.xml:
  Request failed because of a logon failure. (Unable to connect to the remote server)

  Any idea on how to solve this problem? (DNS works very well)

  Thank you

  Hello NZJJ,

  It seems that the file you downloaded is correct just seems to be a problem in accessing.  Here is a link to the installation guide for the plugin.  I'll make sure that you install as recommended by us & see if you still get the same issue.

  Hi all

  I wrote script below to get the Version single ESXi host build, but I don't get any output.

• The current permit or ESXi version prohibits running the requested operation

  I get the following error when I try to stop or restart a 5.5 ESXi update 2 host so that start, suspend or shutdown VMs: "the current permit or ESXi version banned the execution of the requested operation." I use version 1.4.509000 of the Android app.  This application should let me not do these basic operations as free vSphere client does as well. I don't know if VMWare is deliberately restrict what we are allowed to do in the application or if the application has a bug that prevents it to perform these basic tasks.

  I am able to reproduce the problem on another ESX Server.

  The problem has been resolved.

• Cluster with different versions of ESXi - version vCenter

  I have a 2 cluster nodes ESXi 5.0.0.

  I intend to spend one of the 2 nodes to ESXi 5.5 U2 by inserting the CD of U2 ESXi 5.5 in the CD from the host and performing an upgrade: is there a question I should?

  Since a few days/weeks, I can't upgrade the second node.

  Is there any problem if one of the 2 i ESXi 5.0.0 and the other nodes is 5.5 U2?

  I plan to upgrade my vCenter as well after the upgrade to 2 knots. Where can I see the version of the vCenter (a virtual Windows VM)?

  Hi guy,

  Yes, connect your vSphere Client to your vCenter server.

  In the inventory on the left, click the server vCenter Server. The version number and compilation appeared in the main tab on the right.

• U2, SRM and SRA vCenter 6.0 compatibility

  Hi all

  We currently have vCenter 5.5 Update 2 with SRM 5.8.1 and SRA for EMC VNX (EMC VNX SRA with MirrorView Enabler for 5.0.39 VNX) and want to upgrade to vCenter 6.0 Update 2.

  In the table below (from VMware interoperability matrices):

  VMware Site Recovery Manager	6.1	6.0	5.8.1
  VMware vCenter Server 6.0 U2	THERE
  VMware vCenter Server 6.0 U1	THERE	THERE
  VMware vCenter Server 6.0		THERE
  VMware vCenter Server 5.5 U2			THERE

  I see that vCenter 6.0 U2 only supports 6.1 SRM.

  I looked here:

  Download VMware Site Recovery Manager for disaster recovery and planned migration

  For the SRA that I need (EMC VNX SRA with MirrorView Enabler for VNX) and couldn't find it there.

  This is a chart of the VMware Compatibility Guide:

  Name of the partner	Name SRA	Version SRA	SRM version (s)
  EMC	EMC VNX SRA with MirrorView Enabler for VNX	5.0.2 / 5.0.39.139	5.8 SRM | SRM 5.1 Update3 | SRM 5.5 Update1. SRM 5.5 | SRM 5.1 UPDATE 2 | SRM 5.1 Update1 | SRM 5.1
  EMC	EMC VNX SRA with MirrorView Enabler for VNX	5.0.2.77/5.0.39.149	SRM 6.0 | 5.8 SRM | SRM 5.5 Update1. SRM 5.5

  According to this, there is no SRA for MRS 6.1.

  My questions are:

  1 MRS. 6.0 works with vCenter 6.0 U2 (I know that it is not taken in charge with respect to the interoperability of VMware)?

  2. for employees of VMware - do you know if there is an adapter (for EMC VNX) to version 6.1?

  Bottom line: I am looking for EMC VNX SRA with MirrorView Enabler for VNX SRM 6.1 (which is the only currently taken SRM supported by vCenter 6.0 Update 2).

  
  

  Thank you!
  

  Hello Daniel

  Your questions:

  1 MRS. 6.0 should work with vCenter 6.0U2, but as you mentioned, it is not supported by VMware.

  2. as far as I know, such a DSM is underway. I suggest you speak with your EMC representative to confirm that and give you an ETA.

  Best regards

• Cannot create the data store: the current licence or ESXi version prohibited the execution of the requested operation.

  using vicfg-nas I am unable to create/remove a datastore nfs on my lab running esxi 6 at home. Is this not supported? Listing them works well. I can create/delete data warehouses nfs using the client to vcenter very well, but it's a little embarrassing.

  I guess that the host is allowed with the free edition of hypervisor! One of the few restrictions of the free version of hypervisor is access to the API. In order to have "write access" (i.e. change things rather than the list of them) you must run the host in evaluation mode, or license (Essentials or better).

• Cannot migrate VM between 5.5 ESXi versions: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several CPU features

  We receive an error message that I am trying to make sense. I understand very well the notion of compatibility, CPU, CPUID, masking and so on, after working on a competitor hypervisor. However, this error seems wrong (or needs better wording) based on my understanding:

  Here is the message:

  ----

  A general error occurred: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several features of the CPU currently use by the virtual machine.

  Characteristics of CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register are indicated with a '1' bit: x00x:xxx0:xx0x:x 000: x 0 11xx:00: 00xx:11xx

  ----

  
  

  This happened during the migration between two hosts ESXi with the same physical processors - in this case, a Westmere X 5650.

  
  

  The source host is on ESXi build 2068190 (5.5). The destination host is on ESXi build 1474528.

  
  

  The bits it seems to complain are:

  
  

  DTES64

  Monitor/MWait

  Cx16

  PDCM

  The punch line seems to be: "the product version of the destination host. However, I have trouble believing that support for these features have been added to ESXi between the two versions. If it were, VMware has been certainly silent about.

  For what it's worth, explicitly set us the CPUID masks in our virtual machines (no, CVS is not an option for us at this time.) This is the mask:

  CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000100000011001010001".

  CPUID.1.ECX = "00000010100110001110001000111111".

  CPUID.1.EDX = "10001111111010111111101111111111".

  CPUID.80000001.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000001.

  CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00101000000100000000100000000000".

  cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

  cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

  cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

  Note that the bits of the message complains (2, 3, 14, 15) * are * in fact forced to '1' in our mask of cpuid.1.ecx. That means (if I understand correctly), ESXi does not have the virtual machine unless the host processor supports the feature. And in our case, the virtual machine will start with happiness on nodes, with both versions. It will be not simply migrate between them.

  So, long story short, is this a bug of ESXi? The error message is misleading? I understand something?

  Thank you

  
  Matt

  To use the masks feature VM in this way, you must replace all the 1 to your masks with-'s:

  CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000-000000 - 00-0 - 000-

  CPUID.1.ECX = "000000-0-00--000---000-000---".

  CPUID.1.EDX = '-000 - 0-0 - 0-

  CPUID.80000001.ECX = "0000000000000000000000000000000 -"

  CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00-0-000000-00000000-00000000000.

  cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

  cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

  cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

  Zeros erases the features that are not available on your hosts Westmere, and dashes will leave the other one features.  The problem with those masks was forced to you certain features on who would have normally been off.

• VUM feature request let me move to a lower of ESXi version please

  If anyone knows where to submit a request for product feature please let me know!

  I need to upgrade my hosts ESXi 4.x to 5.5 accompanying beautifully AUVS. But some of my servers are not compatible with highest 5.5, they are 5.1 U1 then they file the list supported. Using vCenter 5.5 VUM I can manage one of my servers ESXi in order to update to 4.x, but I would need to go all the way to VUM 5.5 does not allow me to download an ISO for 5.1 versions longer. I can always patch 4.1 and 5.1 hosts.

  For the moment I can do manual updates for servers, but who wants to do that? I had much rather use the tools to manage it.

  Kind regards

• Free ESXi version question.

  Hello.

  I'm looking to adapt the free version of ESXi.

  I checked the limitation of the free version, but I do not see a feature available

  Please let me know what features can I use?

  Thank you.

  You can deploy and run virtual machines on it. That's basically all

  Most of these characteristics of fantasy of the paid license will require a vCenter and is not available for the free version.

  the features it will show in the license tab in client vSpere is:

  -Up to 32 GB of memory (hardware RAM in the host server)

  -Up to 8-way virtual SMP (which means that you can create virtual machines with 8 virtual processors)
