• VMware ESXi 5 licenses

  Hello

  I think I have too much choice, but someone who has more experience on ESXi 5 licenses might have a better deal...

  We have 2 locations for the moment, run 2 servers ESXi 5 the other branch done 3 of the same thing.

  Once more the RAM on certain hosts would be awesome, and of course Central magagment would be great.

  I found the key packs, like right now THAT HA no is not essential - VMware vSphere Essentials Kit would suffice - offers more RAM, centralized management, but only for 3 guests.

  Seems I need centralized management for multiple hosts I choose Standard Kit of acceleration? But in this case, Miss me the ability to upgrade RAM - or not with the terms in the Kit of Essentials and is also much more expensive...

  What seems the best offer price, buy two essential elements it's can I manage 5 hosts under the same server vCenter (guees not)?

  Could someone give advice on this issue?

  Kind regards

  ... where your I find some information?

  In the document of pricing and licenses white at http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf (page 7)

  .. vCenter Server Standard begins from 6000 USD non-larger than 32 GB RAM... as well as other licenses...

  With the acceleration Standard Kit, you get an instance of vCenter Server Standard more processor Standard with 32GB vRAM right 8 licenses each (256 GB total) and you can add additional CPU if necessary licenses. (see page 8 in the same document as above)

• VCenter Server with VMWare ESXi free 5 5

  Hi all

  Test the VCenter Server 5 Evaluation (60 day trial) to management all my 5 of VMWare ESXi (free license). It works with restrictions. These restrictions aren´t a problem for me. I need only to move (power off of virtual machines), clone, create templates for and organize my servers in a single interface VSphere Client. So, I would like to know what type of license of VCenter Server 5 woks if VMWare ESXi 5 free. Buy the VCenter Server 5 Standard?

  Another doubt is if VStorage works with VMWare ESXi free license I.

  Best regards

  Fabio Sobral

  Unfortunately the free ESXi hosts in vCenter management is not possible (except for the eval). The hosts of ESXi need a vCenter Server Agent license that is only available in editions 'paid' of ESXi.

• Impossible to apply license in VMWare ESXi 5.5.0 after the expiration of the evaluation period

  Hello. I recorded and downloaded VMWare ESXi and VSphere about 2 months ago and got it running on our server.

  Today when I logged with VSphere, he said the trial period is over and I need to get a license.

  I connected to VMWare and checked the download link of VSphere with the binaries for 5.5.0 ESXI and VSphere 5.5.0 and told me that I had not registered for the product.

  I signed up for the product and the files were available and I also saw the license key at the top of the download area.

  I copied the license key and went to VSphere, connected to my ESXi and click on Configuration, feature under license and change.

  I Clicked New Assign will authorize and pasted the license key in the box and click ok.

  Then I clicked OK to close the "assign license Dialog", but it came with and error "an error occurred during the license specified key assignment: license is not valid for this product".

  I tried several times and have not been able to apply the license.

  Help, please!

  Check if you used the appropriate license key. Make sure that you do not vcenter licenses for Esxi host. Error message clearly indicates that the license key is not valid for this product...

  Kind regards

• Cannot assign a license to VMware ESXi 5.0 hosts

  Dear all,

  I installed vCenter Server 5.0 standard IBM x 3550 M4 and VMware ESXi 5.0 Standard for two M4 IBM 3650 x servers. I can attribute vCenter Server Standard 5 license to vCenter Server 5.0 but I can't affect VMware vSphere 5 Standard licenses for both ESXi 5.0 servers. Each server has 2x6Cores 2.3 GHz CPU (12 cores total). VMware vSphere 5 licenses that we purchase are VMware vSphere 5 Standard for 1 processor (VS5-STD-C) x 12, which is unlimited cores per processor. Can someone tell me what is the problem here and the reason why I still can't assign license to two 5.0 ESXi hosts.

  Rgds,

  Syairus

  If I understand correctly you have 12 licenses for 1 CPU each! In order to assign a license to a host of the CPU, the license capacity must be equal to or greater than the number of the host CPU. You can combine licenses in the portal My VMware.

  BTW. for two host with 2 CPU each, you need only 4 licenses of CPU (not 12), as processors/sockets are allowed, not carrots.

• License of VMware ESXi

  Hi all

  I want to know if the VMware ESXi can be used situation?

  Hi William - Welcome in the community.

  The answer is Yes.

  The free version of ESX, I can be uised in production - although you won't get any agreement with her support - so you don't have to rely on VMware etc. communities for support (not ideal for production)

  There are a series of oif types of licenses that can be puyrchased - according to your needs.

  I think VMWare are happy with thismodel, because once most companies see the benefits of VMware virtualization and save on hardware, etc., most go to buy licenses that include additional features such as vCenter, support, vMotion and so on.

  ESXi (free version) has not built DR (like HA), or the distribution of resources (DRS) - If you are quite limited.

  In short, although that - Yes is the answer to your question.

  PS - Your first install ESXi will give you access to all the functions for a limited time - but once this period runs out, you will be limited to a limited ESXi installation. ESXi is the complete functionility of normal ESX, when it is fully licensed.

  You can find all downloads for VMwre to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. What you might want to look for are the links "Download trial" to "VMware Workstation" and "VMware vSphere. BTW. is there a reason you ask for older versions?

  For Windows Server, see download Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation (180 days) from the official Microsoft Download Center

  André

  PS: In the past VMware has provided a free license of VMware Workstation after you have completed the requirements to become a VCP - DCV (i.e. necessary training, more exam). I'm sure they'll continue to do that.

• VMWare ESXi under Virtual Box tests

  Hi all

  Just installed VMWare ESXi under VirtualBox with a free license to evaluate it before you consider moving my XCP it based VMs. However, after installation I can't pull up a single VM.

  I just create a 32-bit VM Debian base and fixed the Debian netinstall ISO on the CD player. However, when I try to turn on the virtual machine, it runs for a few seconds before turning off.

  I have attached the log file.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Andy

  The vmmcores.gz file shows that the EFER. The SCE bit is clear.  What explains the illegal opcode exception.  However, I don't see how EFER. CES has got to be clear.  What version of VirtualBox do you use?

• Is VMWare ESXi 5.5 free?

  
  I installed VMWare ESXi 5.5 and vSphere cleint test lab and what I see is a 60 day trial, how can I get a free version?

  As mentioned André you missed the stand-alone host licenses section.

  If you are too confusing, here are the steps

  To allow a standalone ESXi 5.x (vSphere Hypervisor):

  1. Connect to the ESXi host with vSphere Client.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Click licensed features in software.
  4. Click change in the appearance under the license tab.
  5. Select assign a new license key at this host.
  6. Press enter and enter the license key.
  7. Click OK.

• Upgrade VMWare ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.0.0

  Hello

  Is it possible to upgrade 398348 for the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor, the free version of VMWare ESXi 4.0.0?

  
  How would I go all upgrade without losing the virtual machines that are currently in the data store?

  VMware ESXi hypervisor and share binaries of same exact. It is only the license key that locks or unlocks various features. Then switch between editions is basically just replace the license key.

  Because the binaries are the same for all editions, for example the 4.1 version update procedure is the same too. Just follow the link DSTAVERTS the Guide to upgrade (search for vihostupdate).

  PS: You can also take a look at http://blog.peacon.co.uk/wiki/Upgrading_ESXi_4_to_4.1 which includes the steps of the update

• The upgrade of the host, VMware ESXI 4.1

  Hello

  I am running a host VMware ESXi 4.1. It seems that VMware claims now this product VMware vSphere Hypervisor (am I right?). Was it a name change purely marketing, or they introduce new functions as well? Is VSphere Hypervisor a more recent version of ESXi

  Is there a tool to upgrade VMware ESXi 4.1 for newer versions (no matter if their output yet or not, just wondering about the upgrade in general)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Don't worry, it's all the same. You have the same binary files for all editions of ESXi, it is only the license key that locks or unlocks features. I think that the main reason why VMware decided to call ESXi free edition "Hypervisor" was because many people were confused that ESXi is free or not.

  There are two upgrade options ESXi. For the first, you must have a licensed version of vCenter Server, which offers the "Update Manager". The second is to use the command line utility "vihostupdate".

  In addition, you can take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx41/Patching_4.1_with_the_host_update_utility.php
