• What can you do with vCO in vCenter Foundation and Essentials?

  Hello!

  When you have a Standard license for vCenter, you have a complete Orchestrator platform, you can develop your own workflow...

  In vCenter Foundation, you have an orchestrator of 'read only', so you can only run existing workflows, but you cannot create your own little ones.

  Is it possible to import (3 suppliers of party for example) packages and run the workflow in these packages?

  What vcenter Essentials, what's possible here?

  Thank you!

  See you soon,.

  Joerg

  Hi Joerg,

  Installation and Config Guide, p59 (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vco_410_install_config_guide.pdf):

  Essentials: "you're reading privileges on all the Orchestrator. You can run the workflow, but you cannot modify them. »

  Normally, with the Foundation, you should be able to import, execute and modify workflows of 3 packs of part.

  Kind regards

• VI3 - VMware vCenter Foundation of Vsphere 4

  Hi all

  I bought the VI3 with VMware vCenter Foundation, and now the infrastructure is ready for installation.  The server is compatible with vSphere 4 and I m thinking that it is better to install the vSphere 4.

  My question is: I have the license to use the VMware vCenter Foundation 3, what is the upgrade path to Vsphere 4? Where can I check if I have the right use vSphere VI3?

  Where can I check if I have the right use vSphere VI3?

  If your product is under SnS you have the new license code for vSphere.

  Check under License Web Portal to see if you have the new series.

• The upgrade to vCenter 5 foundation

  Hello, everyone!

  I have several questions about upgrading to vCenter 5 foundation:

  (1) is editing Foundation vCenter is frowned upon in vSphere 6?

  (2) If a client vCenter Foundation 5 license and valid SnS, can it move its vCenter server to vCenter 6 Foundation?

  (3) if the customer has vCenter Foundation 5 license and SnS validates that lisenses must purchase for upgrade to vsphere 6?

  Please take a look at VMware KB: law Mapping for vSphere and vCenter Server which contains the official answer to your questions.

• vCenter Server Foundation HA 5

• Adding HA or vMotion to vCenter Server Foundation

  I bought vCenter Server Foundation and I would like to add HA and perhaps vMotion.  Where is the pricing model for this anywhere on the web or the vmware.com website.  I looked for hours and can't seem to find it anywhere.  It is even possible to make a map like this module?

  OK, after speaking with a representative from VMware, I think that I finally understand it now.

  The server vCenter Foundation will allow me to create my cluster of 2 guests (max 3).

  Each ESXi host must be licensed, BUT you can use the free license for 60 days, indefinitely, with HA and vMotion work, as long as renew you it every 60 days manually.

  OR

  You can ignore the manual free renewal of licenses and buy licenses, so you never have to worry about this.

  Now I know why it's so confusing - VMware wants to make money from those who buy licenses, rather than do it for free every 60 days.  If what I wrote above was written ANYWHERE on the VMware website, I knew exactly what to do without losing, literally, 3 - 4 days scouring the internet in search of the answer.

• Foundation problems and host to vCenter Standard.

  Our Organization has two autonomous vSphere hosts with Standard licenses.  We do not have shared storage, that is why we do not need advanced options vCenter in our environment.  However, we recently purchased vCenter Foundation of easy update of our guests.  I have installed and configured the vCenter server and now I am trying to add our hosts to vCenter inventory, but I encounter the following error:

  "License not available to perform the operation.  The Standard license for vSphere 4 to host x.x.x.x does not VMotion.  Upgrade the license. »

  Is it possible to manage ESX VMware vCenter Foundation Standard?  Should I upgrade to Advanced host licenses?  It is quite expensive, especially considering the limited functionality that I need vCenter.  Is there another way to address the issue?

  Thank you in advance.

  You have VMotion enabled on the host you are trying to add in vCenter?  Check the properties of your VMkernel Port see ensure enable VMotion is not enabled

• Foundation vCenter license question

  There are four servers, that we want to use as a vSphere ESXi hosts.

  VMWare vSphere Advanced Acceleration Kit (6 CPU) license includes vCenter Foundation licenses which supports up to three ESX host. What happens if we add a fourth ESXi host (if that's even possible)?

  Would it always be included with the other three, except with features like 'HA/VMotion"unavailable etc.?

  Silly question, but both of my dealers give me different answers.

  Thank you

  you get an error something like "insufficient license to...." "When you try to add the host fourth to your inventory of Foundation.

• VCenter vCenter vs Foundation

  It's maybe a stupid question, but I'm unable to find information on the vcenter Foundation. Is the Foundation vCenter vCenter, except it only supports three hosts? It works with ESX or is it just for the server? Where can I download a copy? I had a foundation vCenter license in my list that I downloaded and tried it with a normal vCenter facility but it doesn't seem to work.

  The situation that I'm interested in this is a laboratory of secure ESX which currently has only one ESX host in it and can develop to the other, but I don't think that (from now on) it will grow well. It must be completely independent (in his own network segmented classical network, etc.), so he needs his own vcenter. To reduce costs, I noticed vCenter Foundation, but impossible to find all sorts of information on it, other that it only supports 3 guests.

  Can anyone provide any assistance would be much appreciated!

  Matt

  you would use them in the same way.  When you register foundation, you will notice in your VIC when connecting to vCenter you'll be under your main toolbar-Administration-VirtualCenter Management Server Configuration - VirtualCenter Server Edition, it will say Foundation Management.  If you change your license of the Foundation model, you will update it here as well.

  Hope this helps

• What is the use of Vmware vcenter device? and when it can be used? is it free?

  Hi guys - when can we see VMware vcenter device an option? Is it free?

  Is that it is contemporary with the linux version of VMware vcenter windows version with Sql express?

  When we use this? Why not to choose windows VMware Vcenter license version if it is available for free? (up to max. 5 hosts and VM 50 s for how long we can use this in our environment)

  Kind regards

  Abhishek Singh

  According to me, there's no difference between vCenter through windows & device licenses.

  You will get vCenter license (as a whole) and now its your choice to deploy vCenter either on windows or deploy the same form of appliance. Once deployed, you must apply the license.

  If you opt for the vCenter Foundation, you will get the same set of features you deploy the VC under windows or as an appliance. It is the same for the standard vCenter license. If you deploy on windows, you need windows license as well.

• See 4.6 - What version of vCenter is necessary?

  Greetings-

  I have a (rather small) client that (3) is deploying about (6) ESXi hosts virtual machines running server. Customers want to implement a small view 4.6 deployment (about 20 customers). The customer is currently using vCenter Foundation Edition since they are only (3) ESXi hosts. My question is should the customer move to vCenter Standard Edition to implement see 4.6? Obviously if the customer is seeking to expand the number of ESXi hosts then upgrade to vCenter Standard Edition would be required but for this first deployment of view 4.6 I wanted to make sure that that vCenter Standard Edition was not necessary.

  THX in advance

  Joe.

  There are different ways to buy.  You can buy view add on which allows you to take advantage of your existing licenses vSphere/vCenter in the environment or you can buy the view bundle which comes with vCenter and vSphere licenses that can be used to view office workloads.

• Issue of license VCenter 4.1

  No doubt very basic question, but I have a four node cluster running ESX 3.5, managed by a VCenter 4.0 using the old system .lic.  I'm moving this cluster to a VCenter 4.1, which uses the new license key and I was wondering how to handle the transfer of licences to a .lic to a real vmware key I type?  The old cluster will remain in production because I have another cluster that needs to stay on this subject for now.

  On a related note, I have another race to vcenter 4.1 Foundation license, three host ESXi 4.1 management mode.  I have an old vcenter running the Enterprise version that performs a few different groups.  I want to gradually move off the former vcenter clusters to the new, but cannot do so until I get an enterprise for my new vcenter license as the Foundation to manage three hosts.  Once I've migrated all virtual machines off the old vcenter I can reuse this license of the company, but until I can do it is there a work around?  Additional guests can be used on the Vcenter Foundation for a certain period of time before they stop working?  Basically I was wondering how best to juggle the licensing vcenter foundation and the company.

  Thanks in advance?

  Hello edawg, you must maintain the license during your migration process server for esx 3.5 need this license server.

  In the website of vmware, you can access with the registered account and download the new license (if you care), and it should be applied in the new vcenter 4.1.

  Hope that I help you.
