• To hardware Version 7 computers virtual in VMWare Server 2.0.2 ESXi 5

  Hello world

  Taking his retirement from 2 host vmware server computers.  They run Server 2008 64 with VMWare server 2.0.2.  Each host has 3 VMs Windows, 6 in total, all configured with Hardware Version 7

  The plan is to set up a new host running ESXi 5.  Install, configure and ready for deployment.  After you have configured the data stores, I want to spend my VMs the 2 old servers a new box of ESXi 5.

  I'll copy all virtual machines from the old servers to individual folders on my Windows 7 Desktop and use the vSphere client to load the virtual machines on new data stores.

  I read that ESXi 5 can read Version 7 VMs.  Does this mean I can use the virtual machine as is, or still need to convert the hard?  I would like to convert them before their download?  I'm a little gray in this area...

  Can you get it someone more experienced please let me know the step by step... or a link to a good "how to" I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  There is nothing for you. VMware Converter takes care of this. It will not only increase the size of the disc, but also the size of the partition.

• updated images of VMware Server to use in ESXI server

  Hello

  I just have a lot of virtual machines that has been configured and used by vmware server 1. Now, I'll use ESXI server, when I downloaded the images to the esxi server and tried to run, I had a mistake in VMDK. Is it possible for me to change VMDK and use these old images or I need to reconstruct images from scracth. also, is there any availbale tool to update my old images to use ESXI?

  Thank you

  ESXi does not support the scattered disk format used by VMware Server by default. What you can do is to follow the recommendations of weinstein5and use VMware Converter or convert the hard file in a supported format (zeroedthick, eagerzeroedthick or thin) using the vmkfstools in ESXi command line tool.

  Assuming that the virtual disk has no snapshots, you can follow these steps in order to maintain the virtual disk file name.

  • create a 'old' subfolder in the folder of the VM on the ESXi host and move the hard files in this folder
  • Basic virtual machine folder run for example vmksftools old-i /hard-d thin vmname.vmdk
  • If the virtual machine lights without problem, you can remove the "old" subdirectory

• Access the interface user Web de VMware Server 2 will crash Firefox 3.5

  Hello

  Trying to access the web interface installation of VMware Server 2 running on Enterprise Linux 5 update 2 64-bit

  using Mozilla Firefox 3.5 on XP causes Firefox to crash.

  Previous Firefox 3.0.11 version was able to connect and log in successfully.

  Everything in FF 3.5 cach has been deleted before trying to access the user interface. In addition, the certificate has also been removed before.

  When you access the UI first with 3.5 ist ask to accept the certificate (identical to 3.0.11)

  This will result in a blank page is displayed.

  Closing FF 3.5 (clear cache included) and re-open it at the interface of the web UI that causes FF crash.

• VMware Server Version 2.0.2 - migrate VM to ESXi 5.5?

  Hey guys

  I use an old Dell T410 with VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) server running on top of serving 2008R1.

  I'm looking to install a new server and you want to run ESXi 5.5.

  Is it possible to convert VM VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) to ESXi 5.5?

  Otherwise I'm running Shadowprotect. If I can't convert, is it possible to do a HIR to ESXi 5.5 from an image of a VM from VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) Shadowprotect?

  Finally, I was looking for to run ESXi 5.5 Essentials (not more) on the new physical host and then use the old host as a temporary backup with ESXi 5.5 too. I have to buy 2 x 5.5 ESXi licenses to run it on both machines?

  If you want more specifications about the network made me know.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You must convert the virtual server computers to be able to run on ESXi 5.5.

  Take a look at this, it is perhaps useful:

• Installing the server on VMware server ESXi

  Hello

  Im trying to install esxi iso file in a VMware Server (in my laptop with 4 GB and windows 7 prof). I have created a virtual machine and tried to proceed with the installation. Initial measures follows and ends with Esc - repair-installation of the screen. In this screen im not control keystrokes at the keyboard and mouse n and cannot go any further. I found in the net that this method will work for purposes of practice. Can someone help me. ?

  Hello Pjo

  For your question, I understand what you are trying to install ESXi on your laptop to test / learning object. I also suppose that you try ESXi 4. ESXi 4 requires 64-bit processor. Your laptop should also support virtualization. To make sure that your laptop supports virtualization, go to configuration and find what is called VT and then activate it if it is not yet enabled.

  Once you have completed step abvoe, download & install the latest version of VMWare Workstation. Then create a new virtual machine, assign them to less than 2 GB of RAM, and then try again to install ESXi 4.

  I believe that this will help you to start with. If you have any other questions feel free to write back to me. And if you think that this answer is correct, please mark correct. If in case it is not correct, but has been useful so mark has useful

  Thank you very much

• VMWARE Server Maschinen auf der gleichen HW ESXi installieren unter

  Hallo zusammen,

  ICH möchte 3 virtual Maschinen, die auf VMWARE Server (Version 1) laufen, auf der gleichen HW, aber auf einem ESXi Server betreiben.

  The Server (FS RX200 Fijitsu) ist in der Kompatibilitatsliste von VMWARE included, should diesbezuglich ja supported werden und.

  Wie ist in diesem Fall die beste do?  Eine direct conversion (VMWARE Server - & gt; ESXi) kann ich ja nicht paper,.

  da der ESXi Server ja noch nicht so.

• You can convert a virtual server on a single machine in VMware Server on another computer using ESXi?

  Here is my scenario:

  Machine 1

  Server5 - host VMware Server 1.0.6 version

  Is within Server5 Server6 running on VMware Server & Server7

  Machine 2

  Created an ESXi Server

  I want to one Server11 newly created on the ESXi machine be Server7.

  All machines are running MS Server 2003 R2 SP2

  I tried using the conversion tool and get an error message "actively denied connection to the target computer.  I tried all the possible scenarios regarding the installation of conversion on each machine tool.  I made sure that telnet runs on both machines.  I found little or no information on this error message on the VMware site.  Is there a better way to convert this virtual machine that use the conversion tool?  It sounds simple enough, but I'm obviously missing something.  Thanks in advance.

  Stand-alone installation of converter on the host that is running Server 1.0.6.  http://www.VMware.com/download/converter/

  Turning off 6 Server and Server 7.

  In the first step of the Converter Wizard, select the option for an engine off the coast of the virtual machine.  This should allow you to select the VMX file using a button 'Browse '.

• Graduating from VMware Server to ESXi

  As I said in another forum, I take my virtual business and contemplate the correct path.  After reflection, I feel that vSphere Essentials Plus may be the 'end of the road' for us.  This end of the road is several months, or even years, away.  I want to do is expose the plan of base here and let you guys and girls look over and tell me if I'm off track.

  Currently we have three hosts, one running VMware Server 1.02, another running server 1.06, the last and most recent is running Server 2.01.

  I bought a new server with another machine which is the equivalent in power, but not under the name of storage space.  Currently, it is not used.  So basically, I have four machines capable of being the host machines.  In addition, when I am finished with an Exchange migration, I have yet another machine with enough power to be a host.

  While I have a lot of machines available, I think I'll only be using a total of three machines in the end.  The two most recent machines and the current Exchange computer.  The rest will be moved to other functions or simply disappear (EBAY FTW!).

  My plan is to install ESXi on the two most recent physical machines.  Move more, if not all, of my current virtual machines for them.  If necessary, I'll pull the Exchange machine retreat in the mix for a total of three ESXi hosts.  For a period of time, I will simply use ESXi hosts and the customer vShpere to control.  When I find it is unmanageable, I'll add vSphere Essentials Plus and a SAN to the mix for my goal of end of maximum availability, fault tolerance and manageability.  Obviously the big breakpoint as soon as now the San that this single purchase would consume most of my annual budget.

  In any case, the only thing I like about running VMware Server ESXi vs is that it runs so that I can directly access files of the virtual machine on the host computer for backups, etc..  From what I see, if I install ESXi on these hosts, I won't be able to move, copy, back up virtual machines in a very easy way.  I have read, it can be done with the remote command line Interface, but I'm having a time difficult to determine if it works with ESXi or not.

  So here are my questions:

  (1) anyone see anything wrong with the plan?

  (2) understanding that I simply can't afford a SAN and vSphere Essentials most right now, is there a way I can safely access the virtual machines on ESXi for backups?  This can be automated?

  (3) looking forward, what is the less expensive, more powerful SAN for up to 3 servers?  I think maybe a Dell MD3000 or possibly a PS4000 EMC.

  Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

  > 1). Anyone see something wrong with the plan?

  ESXi has limited hardware compatibility list, so first you must make sure that esxi will work on your hardware. HCL is a list of the certified material, so your host doesn't have to be on HCL, but NIC and RAID cards must be.

  > 2). Understanding that I simply can't afford a SAN and vSphere Essentials most right now, is it possible that I can safely access the virtual machines on ESXi for backups? This can be automated?

  Yes, but you always buy the less essential to use VCB.

  > 3). Looking forward, what is the less expensive, more powerful SAN for up to 3 servers? I think maybe a Dell MD3000 or possibly a PS4000 EMC.
