VMware ESX Server 2.5.0 build-11548 - licenses can be centralized in vCenter 2.0.2?

VMware ESX Server, version 2.5.0 build-11548

VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618

My current mission is with some legacy equipment and versions.

When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add the 'module' of license to vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works well with a license from the local host and Add-ons vcenter. Version 2.5.0 host has a configured host license. I figured I could use a license for the host of the server and add vMotion, HA, DRS & as Add-ons of vCenter. Selecting the host 2.5 licenses tab is not activate 'configuration of the host' link or it lists license config below.

Also, if I should not just use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x guests... please chime in with the grounds.

Can the server vCenter 2.0.2 licenses treat the add-on (vMotion, HA, DRS) licenses for a range of esx 2.5.x with a local host (Server/SMP) license (s) OR even just centralized? It does for 3.0.2 without effort.

No - vmotion, HA and DRS is not possible with ESX 2.5 - even if it was possible to use the license server centralized with VC 2.0.x these features of VI - 3 can have be used with older versions of ESX.

If this is not the case, can I change esx 2.5.x to open ports or to start a service allowing the centralized license mgmt?

The only way to manage centrally ESX 2.5 license is with VC - 1, x -.

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points marking the answer correct or useful

  • How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

    Hello guys,.

    I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

    During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

    "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

    "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

    I used this command to get the following result:

    # vmware - v

    VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

    ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

    If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

    I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

    Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  • Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3

    Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.

    They use:

    VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271

    VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826

    Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.

    / T.

    Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.

    Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

  • VMWare ESX Server training

    Hello experts,
    I'm new to vitrualization.
    I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

    Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

    Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

    I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

    Hi nasolsi,

    Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

    Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.


    and the performance on my PC?

    No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.


    If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

  • Simulation of material on VMWare ESX Server (is it possible?)

    Hello I am a student and write my thesis of license.

    The theme of my thesis is the 'comparison of VMWare ESX Server and Citrix XenServer'.

    After I installed XenServer on the material, I was able to simulate the material and got the possibility of

    OEM-Versions of Microsoft operating systems install VM on XenServer. With this feature can save our customers

    money, because they can use the Versions OEM of MS products provided by our care.

    Now my question! Is it possible to simulate the material on VMWare ESX Server and install the OEM Versions

    or are there other ways how I can install the OEM Versions on VMWare ESX Server?

    I've seen this kind of problem before as well and it's the media. Try to download eval software as an ISO and see if it works.

    I know say you it worked with xenserver then why not with esx - I can't answer this question I can only tell you want that I found worked.

    The disc is for ESX only but if necessary you can extract the driver and use with ESXi.   I had check ESXi was last updated yesterday and there is no 3ware with her driver.   See the instructions here to create an oem.tgz file - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php.  There is also a link to the 3Ware Update1/2 site of 3Ware driver.  I check which driver is more recent and use it.

    You can find a patch fixed the issue that should solve your

    to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware
    Buy adding to agent.properties:

    You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:

  • V2V options ESX server 3.0.1 (build 32039) to vSphere 4.0 U1 (latest version)

    We have a customer who has resorted to double take to convert physical servers in their virtual server site in our site.

    It turns out that they have two or three virtual computers built in their server ESX 3.0.1 (build 32039) environment. Some is fine but they have questions with a particular server and are looking for solutions of migration.

    (1) with the version of divergence, is a VMware V2V converter even an option?

    (2) if we could get the VMDK on us, we will have complications of similar version compatibility raising this old VM in our environment?

    (3) any other suggestions?

    With cionverter, you can create an OVF of your virtual machine image and copy it to portable media (USB drive, etc) and after importing it into the infrastructure of the destination.

  • "VMware ESX Server has no persistent storage."

    I installed VMware ESXi 3.5 installable on a server with an Adaptec RAID 3405 controller. The build number of ESXi is 123629. I've got 4 1 TB drives configured in a RAID 5 array for a total to 2.73. When I install VMware, he sees the RAID array with the right size and installs successfully. However after I reboot and connect with the VI Client I get the message on the server not having is not a persistent storage and no data warehouses are displayed. If I go to storage adapters it shows Adaptec SCSI like vmhba2 with 2.73 TB capacity. However when I add storage and select disk/LUN it shows only 2.73 TB but only 744 GB of available capacity. I've never met this before. How to access the full capacity? I thought maybe it was because I was still on the trial but license using the serial number of the license made no difference. Also after he did the first time I've recreated the RAID array and started with a new installation of VMware. Both times he sees only 744 GB available.

    Maximum supported = 2 TB LUN size, then you need to separate your RAID in 2 volumes, less than 2 TB each

  • ESX server does not pick up its license

    I had to rebuild one of my servers esx yesterday - but he will not meet then this is the license server license. Is that what I should do to make sure that he can?

    OK

    Take a look under ADMIN > licenses. I'm guessing that you have no license available (because it does not fall the license of the previous installation)

    You will need to remove this vCenter server and then refresh your license server (using the FlexIM license software, vcenter installed on your server)

    Once you can see under ADMIN > Licenses a license available, readd your server and you're away!
