License question - do need me a VSAN license for all hosts in a cluster?

I have a 6 host cluster exist using the VSphere Essentials Plus package with a single server VCenter. Can I buy x VSAN 3 licenses, for example to add the storage to the 3 hosts I have install the VSAN license on and access the VSAN of the 3 other hosts in the cluster data store? (Assuming only 1 CPU for each host.)
Thank you!

Hi Daniel,.

Since Virtual SAN is activated at the level of a cluster, all cluster hosts can consume storage since the virtual SAN data store regardless of how many guests contribute to storage. So to answer your question, you need all 6 hosts in your cluster license, even though only 3 of them contributed storage.

Also note that the licenses are per CPU so in your scenario if each host has 2 CPUs, you need a total of 12 CPU licenses. I hope this helps.

Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system. I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP). These would all be installed on your laptop. I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

It is lifted directly from my EULA:

1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that

comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

1.1 installation and use. You may install, use, access,

display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on

THE COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE may not be used

by more than two 2-processor both on the

COMPUTER, unless a greater number is

indicated on the certificate of authenticity.

Then...

This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?

I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.

However...

If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

PDF output for each host

I would like to create a PDF report in Foglight for each host showing the memory and the CPU. Is it possible that Foglight run the report so that each host will be created in a single PDF? Currently all the output is contained in a single PDF file when the report is run.

It is certainly technically possible. Many reports out-of-the-box take a list of hosts as input.

There is no reason that you can specify a list of a single host as the entry in the report.

If you drag and drop a host on a Reportal, you can select a number of views which include memory and CPU usage. You can configure and schedule a number of these reports, one for each host.

But I have to wonder about the use case. Do you want to generate a large number of PDF files, each of which contains only three pieces of information: host name, memory usage and CPU usage?

Kind regards

What is a difference between 'Logical processors' and 'logical processors for each host?

Hi all!
In the official document VMware "vsphere-51-configuration-maxima" or "vsphere-55-configuration - maximums.pdf" in the section "ESXi host maximum rates------Maximums calculation" exists in the elements:
"Maximum CPU------logical CPU for each host ' (vSphere 5.1: 160;) vSphere 5.5: 320)
and
"Machine virtual maximums------virtual CPU by host ' (vSphere 5.1: 2048;) vSphere 5.5: 4096)
Question: what is the difference between the two?
And a more complex thing to maximum rates:
Virtual machines per host: 512
Number of hosts per cluster: 32
Therefore, the cluster may be Virtual Machines (maximum): 521 * 32 = 16384
But in the document, we have only 4000 VMs in maximum.
Why?
Thank you

Ramirez,

I understand your question as difference between 1. logic virtual CPU vs / by the hosts and 2. cluster/host Max County VM.

Consider the case below;

2 servers ESXi - 20 mV

ESXi taken 1-4, 2 cores / socket

ESXi 2-8 Sockets, 2 cores / socket

Now here number of CPU logic-(4 x 2) + (8 x 2) = 24

20 virtual machines - 2 jacks, 2 core / socket

Virtual CPU count - 20 x (2 * 2) = 80

Hope your first confusion is clear now.

And a more complex thing to maximum rates:

Virtual machines per host: 512

Number of hosts per cluster: 32

Therefore, the cluster may be Virtual Machines (maximum): 521 * 32 = 16384

But in the document, we have only 4000 VMs in maximum.

Why?

This means that even if you have 32 Guest and each host can accommodate 512 VMs each the maximum number of virtual machines per cluster may not exceed 4000. And it does not mean that you can have a maximum of VMS (512 * 32).

I'm trying to redeploy Adobe Acrobat Standard DC to my users, because the licenses have been removed by mistake; they have up-to-date copies on their computers desktop and I got more licenses for each of them. My question is that each user will have to go

I'm trying to redeploy Adobe Acrobat Standard DC to my users, because the licenses have been removed by mistake; they have up-to-date copies on their computers desktop and I got more licenses for each of them.
My question is that each user will have to go through another download and installation of the product?

I don't think. I guess that they would be required to sign in or provide the number you gave them. Acrobat would continue as a trial until they click on "license this software ' or see help > Sign In.

vCenter licenses for 3.5

Okay, I know that this question has probably been asked a thousand times already...
I want to improve my virtual Center vCenter 4.0 server. I'm not ready to update all my servers just host (yet all ESX 3.5 Update4), as I'm waiting for the first service pack 4.0 out. Yes, I'm a chicken
Is that what I should do with my 3.5 licenses, or can I just upgrade the server virtual center 4.0 (my license server runs on the server virtual center) and then create the 4.0 license (which will also include the old 3.5 licenses) when I'm ready to upgrade. I made before upgrades but unfortunately it's my first round shot courtesy of the virtual Center.

The process is simple. Upgrade your vCenter server. The new vCenter server will see your 3.5 license server and you will be able to see your 3.5 licenses from there. Then add your licenses from 4.0 to vCenter. Our 4.0 licenses created automatically from VMware, and we just copy and paste in vCenter. I don't think the new licenses to carry information about your licenses of 3.5. You must keep your 3.5 license server until you are finished with the ESX 3.5 servers as a license for 4.0 is managed via vCenter.

Hope that helps.

Integration of OM for task inventory vCenter fails for a host

Hello.

I've updated my plugin for integration of OM to 1.7 2.0. I have three hosts 5.5 ESXi and vCenter 5.5 device.

The analysis of the inventory on one of these three hosts fails. I did the changes on the hosts and the inventory, used to work for guests when I used the plugin version 1.7. During testing of connection profile I get not all errors and information iDRAC identification and credentials to the host with green checkmarks on all hosts, including the one who gets the failure of the inventory scanning.

When you look at the newspapers I see a lot of security-messages and then "cannot get an IP iDRAC for host {0}" and "failure of the inventory for host 1 of 3".

Any suggestions?

Because we support 5.5 with 1.7 install it must have been new for the hosts and vCenter. OMSA can sometimes get messed up during upgrades. Please verify that this host is consistent in the compliance Wizard in the full desktop client. In addition, you can verify that you are a build 61? If you are on build 59 try to switch to the current 2.0 version. Change the path of update to linux.dell.com/.../latest
- Run the update
- This update, you will have to build 2.0.0.1262
- After the update, lack of movement to the original path to ensure you'll see future updates.

List of stores of data for each host

I want to ask each ESXi host for the information store and return to a csv file the following:
Host name ESXi, data store, State of the data store name
I started with:
Get-vmhost | Get-Datastore. Export Csv C:\script\reports\test.csv - NoTypeInformation
Looks like I have to make one for every maybe?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, KTatUC-

Of course, there are plenty of ways to do things - would a ForEach-Object. Another way, taking advantage of the parameter - PipelineVariable in PowerShell v4, would be like:
```
Get-VMHost -PipelineVariable oThisVMHost | Get-Datastore | Select-Object @{n="VMHost"; e={$oThisVMHost}},Name,State
```
Then, that uses a calculated property to add VMHost to the selected output. You could direct to Export-Csv or do what you like. How is that?

That means "maximum ACTIVE port for each host?

Expert Hi
I read from configuration maximums in vSphere 4.1.
I watch follow line in table 5 maximum Networking:
-
Ports maximum ASSETS per host (vDS and VSS) 1016
-
??
Which way is it?
That is to say that Vmkernel can switch packets 1016 at the same time
or ESX (ESXi) may have the ACTIVE 1016 uplink port.
Could you tell me what this line means?

This means that you can have up to 1 016 network connections virtual + physical on the virtual switches on the same host. The maximum number of physical uplinks - based on the NIC - is 32.

For example: 1, 000 power on VM with 1 virtual NETWORK card each and 16 uplinks of physical switches.

Show active paths by the data store for each host

I'm looking for a PowerCLI script that displays by cluster, by ESXi host how active paths has a data store. The output should look like:

Paths of Active host data store

VMFS-01 ESXi01 2

Thank you

Ivo

Try this one, it shows the actual number of "active" paths by the data store.

foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){  $hss = Get-View $esx.Extensiondata.ConfigManager.StorageSystem

  $lunTab = @{}  $hss.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiLun | %{    $lunTab.Add($_.Key,$_.CanonicalName)  }  $pathTab = @{}  $hss.StorageDeviceInfo.MultipathInfo.Lun | %{    $pathState = @($_.Path | Group-Object -Property PathState |    where {$_.Name -eq "active"} | Select -ExpandProperty Group)

    if($pathTab.ContainsKey($_.Lun)){      $pathTab[$_.Lun] += $pathState.Count    }    else{      $pathTab.Add($lunTab[$_.Lun],$pathState.Count)    }  }

  foreach($mount in ($hss.FileSystemVolumeInfo.MountInfo | where {$_.Volume.Type -eq "VMFS"})){    $mount.Volume.Extent |    Select @{N="VMHost";E={$esx.Name}},      @{N="Datastore";E={$mount.Volume.Name}},      @{N="LUN";E={$_.DiskName}},      @{N="Active Paths";E={$pathTab[$_.DiskName]}}  } }

I have a lot of old software CS (from the closure of the design company). In order to sell and transfer licenses, what I have to go through the license for each transfer and open a file number for each, how complete it when I sold? Or y at - it an easier

License transfer - several pieces of software

Jane,

Adobe licenses should be transferred when changing users. Transfer the license allows the owner to register the software to their name again. Both the author of the transfer of the license and the recipient must complete a transfer of license form. The serial number of the product must be registered in the Adobe profile of the transferor to transfer the license. You must qualify under license transfer policy.

License question: with the help of two "Standard Edition" licenses for > 8 vCPU by host

Hi, I've been reading place on it for a few hours and would like to get confirmation here. I have
-a physical host: dual processor, 8 cores per processor
-multiple licenses VSphere 5.0 Standard edition
-VCenter 5.0 Enterprise Edition
I want to distribute the VM with 12 vCPU and I expect to consume two licenses Standard Edition - one for each CPU, for a total of 12 vCPU. When I try to do using VCenter I get error "virtual machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8.» "The number of virtual processors can be limited by the OS selected for the guest virtual computer or licensing for the host."
I think that it is a license restriction because on the same host, the VSphere evaluation has authorized the deployment of a 12 virtual machine using RHEL 6.3 vCPU. I checked later vCPU on evaluation copy function and it was 32 channels for it proves that it is not a BONE or a physical problem. I think I downloaded an evaluation of the 'norm' rather 'Enterprise', but I am not sure.
I read compare VMware vSphere editions and the 'Standard' column has CPU line: "CPU 1" and line vCPU: '8 - way '. This makes me think that, for each new license, I should have a CPU with up to 8 cores. that is by consuming two licenses, I use 2 CPU and up to 16 cores.
I also read the EULA VMware multi-core pricing and Licensing Policy , and he said:
Software licenses with six (6) cores per processor
It does not say "with hearts of six (6) software licenses by host '
The following excerpt from the EULA is the only evidence that I could find to support the conclusion that for Standard Edition, the maximum number of vCPU for each host is 8 (regardless of the number of licenses consumed);
Combines VMware licenses on a single host software. Licensing policy allows combining the even on software licenses uniprocessor.
Someone can confirm the limitation and is there something obvious that I missed to compare VMware vSphere editions. The difference between host and per processor is huge, I'm surprised that it is ambiguous.
Thank you
Diarmuid

Looking at this picture, it is said that you need 1 VMware Standard license per physical processor that your host has. Down the chart to the vCPU, who said that a VM can have at most 8 vCPUs (for Standard). Isn't 8 vCPUs per license, which is 8 vCPUs total.

The demo version is licensed Enterprise Plus and develops of vCPU 32 on a virtual machine.

Licenses for ESX I have 5 vs physical Reources hosts

I hope somone can answer this question for me.
My script is as follows

4 x Dell R710 each with
2 x CPU sockets
288 GB OF RAM
Each ESX host is registered with Enterprise Plus
All 4 hosts are in a single cluster of 4 nodes
Given that the new license allows 96 GB of RAM per CPU socket, should I be removing some of the RAM and put it on other servers, or is it possible to apply more licenses for existing servers. I ask this question because I ran out of memory resources in my cluster. Yes, I understand the places available in a cluster, but looking at the resources for each host in the summary in vCenter tab, I have more than 60% or more of available memory on each host.
When I run a script in the cluster by looking at the location of cluster information, I used more slots there are. My cluster admission control policy has been set to 1 host and I was getting the error on the cluster, saying there isn't enough availbale resources for HA., but when I change the policy of cluster control admission to the processor by 20% and 20% of RAM, I have no problem with HA failover ability resources (even though I'm 96% for the current Capcity of failover memory).
Any suggestion would be greatley appreciated.
See you soon

Welcome to the community - a thing to do you know, it's memory is not phtysical of RAM but vortual RAM (vRAM) - the amount of memory used by the virtual machines running on the host - the with the company rock you more to use 96 GB x 2 x 4 or 768 GB vRAM in your enfironment - and that is also a rolling 12-month average so you can approve but to ensure that you are in compliance just add the amount of RAM you assign to virtual machines - and if you have a virtual machine with more than 96 GB just treat as 96 GB.

To unferstand what is happening with you cluster HA need for more information on virtual machines running - as the number of processors, amount of memory allocated.
