vCenter Server Standard mode with multiple vCenter Essentials?

• VCenter Server (standard) useful with ESXi is free?

  Trying to decide what, if anything, to actually buy VMware.  The free ESXi product license is... enough.  I would really like to central management, backup or read/write capabilities with rcli (piracy without installation - I think I said that correctly).

  My question is this.  There is a VERY big jump in $$$ of the products beforehand essentials range or better (I think that the Standard line is unnecessary).  I currently have 5 VMware servers (2 under Server Linux 2.0 on server newish hardware, each, 2 ESXi 4 server about 4 VM running on old jobs as each House a unique VM (due to higher disk IO) and ESXi 3.5 server running on 32-bit with 1 VM hardware).

  In any case - with a mixture of mission critical production VM and VM little criticism that don't necessary not to live on a San and puff SAN bandwidth, I'm not sure I want to limit myself to 3 physical machines.  It would be probably enough for the next 5 to 10 years, but it would affect my SAN strategies and I have to buy at least 1 or 2 new costly servers.

  So I thought that maybe just get the vCenter Server for centralized management would work.  I always have 2 or 3 more enjoyable new servers ESXi 4 on the San with mission critical servers, while continuing to have 2-3 of older machines with individual local readers VM (I like to keep virtual for purposes of disaster recovery for) running.

  I can't find any information on knowledge if it would work, and it would offer benefits etc..

  You cannot add free ESXi to vCenter. Adding a host requires the inside the host vCenter Agent license.

  Sorry about that.

• Behavior of a virtual computer when it is placed on Standard vSwitch with multiple active adapters

  Hey everybody

  Right now I'm focusing on the aspect of vSphere network design and I have a question about this:

  If I have a vSwitch with a group of ports and attached to this group of ports there are 2 vNIC or NIC better and I chose road based on the Port ID and all cards are active, what happens to machines when I unplug a power cord? Lets assume vm1 is vnic 0 and vm2 on vnic1 and I unplug the power cord of vnic1. VM2 will switch automatically to vnic0 or should I restart? How should I take care of this problem when there is no automatic failover? Create an etherchannel and two assets assets adapters?

  Thank you and best regards

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  your virtual computer will be moved to the other vmnic again access to the network after the failure. No reboot needed.

  It is indeed a very simple way of load balancing / team. When you turn on a virtual machine is bound to a vminc. As you said correctly for this example, vm1 goes to vmnic0, vm2 to vmnic1, to vmnic0 vm3 and vm4 to vmnic1.

  This is the default setting as it is quite simple and you don't need any additional switch configuration.

  If you want to change this behavior, for example to build an etherchannel, remember to change the policy on the vSwitch / exchanges, which would require a load balancing of "route based on the hash of the IP.

• What is the difference between vcenter essentials and standard vcenter?

  In vsphere essentials 5 more kit includes vcenter for the most part, I wan to know that is 100% similar to vcenter server standard?

  then have I not need to buy separately vcenter server.

  Please answer me soon.urgent

  The binaries are the same, it's just a thing of licenses. Essential Kits consisting of vCenter Server Essentials as well as 6 processor licenses for up to 3 guests with 2 processors each. This kit/bundle can be extended, which means that you can only plug in the included vCenter Server hosts and vice versa.

  A vCenter Server Standard license can manage any number of guests (up to the limit of support) with Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus licenses.

  Can anyone help?

  Here's the script:

• Strategy for the SSO with multiple vCenter servers.

  We are upgrading vSphere/SRM 5.0U1 for vSphere/SRM 5.5U1 with multiple vCenters in our environment. After reading 2058239 KB:

  VMware KB: installing vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 on a Microsoft Windows platform

  We install SSO on a separate Windows Server and choose vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server for this first instance. Now my question is for the following facilities as the vCenter for MRS or vCenters which manages areas replacement fault which option, existing site or new, do we choose? Thank you

  
  

  You have therefore three sites.

  The first time, you will choose vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server.

  For the second one on the same site, you choose existing vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.

  Now, when you come to an another site vCenter and third, you will need to decide if you have a site that is your main or you want to still have a site on the second.

  If you decide to join at the elementary level, that you will yet choose existing vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.

  If you choose to have another site, you choose vCentre of Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server with a new site.

  The end of it, you will have to make the decision to design. I can only tell you what they mean. Make sure you have adequate connectivity between sites.

• vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration

  Buenos dias a todos,

  UNA pregunta: Se you can use/configurar el complement "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration" between various VC (verse 5) en Dominios different y SIN relaciones confianza?

  Hi all
  A question: you can use / set up the "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration" card from several VC (verse 5) in different domains WITHOUT trust relationships?

  Official documentation:

  Instances of server vCenter in a group of related modes can be in different areas, if the domains have a two-way trust relationship. Each area must approve other areas on which the server vCenter instances are installed.

• vSphere Essentials 5 and vCenter Essentials - cannot add host - vMotion

  I would like to know how to add a host to vCenter Essentials for vSphere essentials.

  We bought vSphere Essentials and Essentials vCenter to improve our existing for Vsphere 4.1 Essentials environment.  Everything went well with the update on the host computer.  vSphere and vCenter allocated through the vSphere client license keys.  We installed vCenter and web client on a 2008 Server VM on the esxi host. The host has a number of existing virtual machines.  When attempting to add a host after have created the data center must be of VMotion.

  Must the esxi host be empty when adding to vCenter essential?

  Thank you.

  It sounds like you administering hosts in the mode of assessment so far and I tried some of the Enterprise Plus features! The Essentials Kit includes not vMotion (only Essentials more done) then you should remove the port vMotion group - if there is one - in the virtual network configuration to make the edition of Essentials-compatible host.

  Good evening

  I need help for a migration to sql server.

  We already have a vcenter 5.1 production installed in Windows 2008 R2 x 64 with SQL Server 2008 express. Our data increase and ourODBC cannot answer for our use. We need to migrate to SQL server 2008 Express in SQ server 2008 standard.

  I have a problem with the software installed Vmware (SSO, Update Manager).

  I have two choices:

  • Install a new Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 Standard and import datas beetwen current server to our new.
  • Migration on our current server SQL Server Express to the standard.

  What is the best solution?

• Run the theme in standards mode.

  Hi all

  We run Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on a server of Oracle 10 g.

  We have an application that uses the sand theme (theme 10).

  Everything was good until recently, we had implementing functionality that requires us to use CSS position: fixed; to create the info-bubbles-etc.

  These don't work because the browser (IE8) runs in "Quirks mode" that the theme does not comply with standards features. We had to resort to third-party JS libraries to make the ToolTips work.

  If I force the browser to run in a standards mode then the entire page is messed rendering-wise.

  Y at - there a patch available to make this theme work in standards mode?

  Kind regards

  No, in 10 world it's always 1999.

  You would have saved a lot of wasted effort if you were moved to a theme modern fashion standards as soon as you became aware of the problems.

  Never understood the huge attraction that this theme has had many APEX developers. I've always found more attractive...

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...
