• Question about VCB and VMWare vSphere 4 Essentials

  Hello

  We have 2 virtual servers: one with ESXi35 (that has VMWare infrastructure Client 2.5) and the other with ESXi4 (which a vSphere Client 4). There is an offer to purchase of VMWare vSphere 4 Essentials to half the regular price and I wanted to know if this product allows me to backup (and possibly restore) virtual machines using VCB scripts.

  Thank you very much

  Concerning

  Carlos Negroni

  From this link, http://store.vmware.com/store/vmware/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.126843700 , it includes VCB so the answer to your question is Yes.  I remember got an e-mail that VCB is now end of life so that it is no longer that probably not available in the next version of ESX.

• VMware vSphere 5 Essentials Kit for 3 guests (3 physical servers)

  Hello

  I currently use the number of servers with the free version of VMWare ESXi 5.

  So now I want to use more RAM and want to have more tools like backup tool, clone.

  I've been reading in vmware site but it makes me a bit of confusion.

  Can someone clarify this for me:

  1. what should I do after the 'VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' command that allows me to manage 3 physical servers, while I use "VMware vSphere Client" free edition?

  2 should I change or action with "VMware vSphere Hypervisor?

  3. the fee of $495 is a right to life or it's annual fee? The subscription is required for first year only, is that correct?

  4. "VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' supports up to 192 GB of RAM per physical server and max of 32 GB of RAM per VM?

  5. What is the difference with "VMware vSphere Standard" edition?

  It's a few links I've read:

  1 + 2) Just enter the new license key. No need to reinstall the hosts or stop the virtual machines. In the oder to the Manager of all 3 hosts from the same management interface, you must configure vCenter Server, which is included in the Kit of Essentials.

  3.) after the initial purchase, it's your decision if you renew the subscription after the first year.

  4.) there have been a few changes since release of vSphere regulatory policy 5. With the release of vSphere 5.5 all material limitations (cores per CPU and RAM) have been removed (see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf).

  5.) see page 6 in Licensing, Pricing and packaging white paper

  Thank you

  Juha

  I would recommend you open a support case license with VMware (from the portal of my VMware) on behalf of your client and explain what you see now and how it is supposed to look like. Provide details regarding the purchase of renewals (no matter what email address on the order form of renewal might be important).

  From my experience, licenses support is extremely helpful and I am sure that they will be able to get it straightened up in no time.

• esxi free upgrade to VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Hi we are a small company with a new 1 and 1 old server sent us this question for the Department sales of vmware but have had no response.

  We have two questions we hope that someone has had a few experiences with.

  Currently we use free on our new server esxi5 if we buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  1. is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  2 if we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  It would be much cheaper than the use of VMware vSphere Essentials Kit pro and seems to do the same job.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community!

  Is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  Yes enter vSphere Essentials Kit License keys will unlock the applicable for this Kit features, re - install ESXi will be not be held

  If we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  vSphere Essentials Kit inclused vStorage APIs for Data Protection so you should be good to use the third-party data protection software

• ESXi 5/VMWare vSphere 5 tool Mgmt Essentials

  I got the upgrade of the v5 FREE ESXi from VMWare vSphere Essentials 5 hypervisor.  I'm looking for what we call the 'vCenter Management Console", which I'm supposed to have access with me purchase vSphere Essentials 5, to manage multiple servers within a single console ESXi and also have a GUI based ESXi management tool for updates to update my v5 ESXi servers.

  With the naming conventions wonderfully confusing of all the different productions of VMWare, I can't find anything with that name.  The closest element I can find reference only ESXi v4 and when I try to download, I gives me a warning that I am not allowed to download.

  Could someone shed some light on this topic for me so I can clarify what I'm looking for?  Still, it comes to a VMWare vSphere 5 Essential Kit that I just bought.

  Thank you

  Yes, you could use an Oracke VM or VM VMware running under VMplayer or in the essential of vSphere environment - or you can manage ESXi and the individual instances servers using the client installed on your workstation vSphere with them having to use vCenter -

  VCenter integration in an AD environment is not a requirement it just makes managing easier users/groups in a large environment - you can actually have the server part of a workgroup and use groups the and users on the access - default server administrators locala groups is given administrator access to the environment of vcenetr -.

  With regard to updating a ESXi host, you do not need VMware Update Manager, it can be done using the CLI - you can update with software esxcli 5.0 ESXi hosts vib commands discussed in vSphere upgrade documentation included in the documentation of vSphere set 5.0. You cannot run the command vihostupdate against a 5.0 ESXi host.

  If you are looking for to deploy individual hosts with likited resources that, I would suggest deploythe free version of ESXi - weak positive points cost disadvantages: you need to manage each host individually and will be capped on memory - which I believe is 32 GB

  With the essentials, it will be more expensive, but you know be able to manage several servers ESXi to a place more depending on your license, you will be able to take advantage of VMware HA allowsing your environment to recover from a failure of the host, VMware DRS, which will ensure the delivery of resources to VMS in times of conflict and can back up the virtual machine with them affecting the performance of the virtual machine or access

• VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

  Hello

  TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

  We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

  We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

  However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

  Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

  Kind regards

  Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.

• VMWare vSphere 4 hypervisor ESXi 4.1 - can buy upgrade to 4.1 Patch 11 again?

  Hi guys

  I have a x 3650 M2 aging IBM server running the free version of vSphere 4 Hypervisor ESXi 4.1.0 260247.

  I'm looking to install esxi version 4.1 Patch11.

  I have a few questions:
  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  Kind regards

• What exactly is in the VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Yes I looked on the page and there seems to be a lot of xyz, but no definitive list of what is in the kit of essestials or even the pro kit.

  Ideally, this as the backup software, but would be nice to know all inclusive.

  VBackup Thinware said he needs of VMware Consolidated Backup, but Google takes me to the page on this point and when I go to buy, send me info about versions of VM, but nothing in the Kits except data backup API - tis more confusing for a new user.

  Kits Essentials is a set of licenses. The kit includes the licenses processor vSphere and vCenter Server for Essentials for an environment of maximum 3 guests (up to 2 CPUs) and capacity maximum vRAM grouped 192 GB. Kits scalability limits Essentials are applied to the product and may not be extended except by upgrading the complete kit to a top-range package. Cannot be decoupled or combined with other editions of VMware vSphere Essentials Kits are stand-alone solutions

  1. You can download and run up to 3 ESXi 5 guests with 2 processors
  2. You can download vCenter server and run one instance of vCenter
  3. You can download VMware Data Recovery to be able to backup your virtual machines without affecting the performance of the virtual machine

  Hope this helps

• Can we use VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise to manage ESXi 3.5?

  We plan to buy VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise to manage ours 4 ESXi 3.5 hosts, but we are not sure if there is any kind of limitation to do. For example Veeam Backup no longer support ESXi?

  http://www.Veeam.com/news/Veeam-software-offers-new-Essentials-Bundle-acceleration-kits-for-VMware-vSphere4.html

  Thank you

  As we already mentioned, you can manage the 3.5 hosts with vCenter 4.0, but also you can same VMotion VMs between 3.5 and 4.0 hosts. So you can switch to 4.0 without service interruption.

  1. switch vCenter 4.0

  2 migrate all virtual machines on a host, put it in maintenance mode.

  3 upgrade host with Update manager

  4 goto 2 until all hosts are upgraded.
