• ESXi 4.0 can be upgraded to 4.1 via the Update Manager?

  Hello

  ESXi 4.0 can be upgraded to 4.1 via the Update Manager, or what I have to do it manually via vihostupdate.pl? Is it also possible to upgrade via CD offline? That is, will be the Setup routine recognizes the installed version and keep the configuration?

  At least the Upgrade Guide describes Update Manager as a solution to perform the upgrade - 4.1 does not appear here yet however!

  / edit: Ah, I completely forgot that I must use the base line upgrade instead of Patch baseline. I can specify the ZIP file for the upgrade!

  Thank you

  right, the Update Manager-> create-> home-setting baseline to day-> file-> download the .iso image file or image .zip of ESX (i) 4.1.

• VMWare vSphere v5.5 ESXi install errors

  Hello

  I'm trying to install VMWare vSphere, ESXi v5.5 on a machine that I've used as a Windows 2008 Server. Pretty well spec'd (core i5, 8 GB, 3.5 TB of space etc.), but it's just a generic machine with a motherboard micro ATX ASUS and so on. I use an external USB DVD drive.

  It support (or seems to load) GRUNB fails with an error of '22 '. When I changed the BIOS to AHCI settings error replaced by "Error 21".

  I tried to eliminate any problems:

  • Tested the drive and the USB on a core i3 laptop [AOK]
  • Checked hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS OF THE system [YES]
  • I tried vSphere 5.1 [SAME MISTAKES]

  Does anyone have ideas, what could cause this problem?

• VMware vSphere for VC 5.1 replication can be done between two VCs?

  Hello:

  In VC 5.1 version VMware added an option of replication (for SMB, unlicensed SRM), but I still don't understand if replication is possible between two VCs (such as vSphere MIS replication) or it's just the inside / in front of clusters on the same virtual circuit?

  The question is, can I use VMware vSphere replication to replicate (protect VMS) between 2 VCs unlicensed SRM?

  Thank you,

  qwert

  It is very simple to use - discover Duncan Epping "Back to Basics: install, configure and use replication vSphere"for a good overview. ".

• VMware Vsphere HA (problem of storage in common) and problem of band network bandwidth

  Hi all

  I am setting up VMware VSphere HA on ESXI 6.0

  I have 5 hosts running, each host has 2 management networks main network 1 vMotion and 1 network card for balancing with the management network. (each NIC 1Gbit uplink)

  I also attached to each card a FC (Fiber Channel) connected to HP 3PAR storage.

  each host have 1 TB or 2 TB Fiber Channel-attached storage.

  When I was setting up the AP he stated that he did not have any shared how storage can I allow other hosts to see each store data as a shared storage. NB: when I go vsphere client to web I see all the storage of each host.

  I also want to allow FT on a virtual machine, I have also a problem of bandwidth insuffisent or something. .

  also, I enabled fault tolerance on each NIC attached to the host.

  also another question: should I export volumes (LUNS) to all hosts in the AP? (in fact I exported each volume to each host separately) for example:

  Volume 1: HP3PAR_ESX1 exported to HOST ESX1

  Volume 2: HP3PAR_ESX2 exported to the ESX2 HOST

  Volume 3: HP3PAR_ESX3 exported to ESX3 HOST

  .. .etc

  can you me clear on this issue or guide me to where I can solve these problems please.

  When I try to activate the FT on the VM I the following warning attached

  This message was edited by: coolirc attached image FT problem

  There are memory FT requirements compatible VM is through two virtual, primary and secondary computers. so it will consume the same amount of resources of both ESXi hosts.

  VM with 10 GB of RAM allocation, turn on FT booking VM is now 10 GB RAM, so 10 GB + VMkernel consumption General host running primary VM and same amount of the host that is running with secondary VM. on top of this admission control in support of the failures of host we are going to tolerate so say primary VM host fails, then secondary VM becomes the new primary and triggers a new high school to be created and powered in one of the other host survivor in your HA cluster but which will be successful only when you have sufficient resources available to satisfy a reservation.

  your source host has 16 GB of RAM and one of the destination host also got 16 GB of RAM, so if you try to activate pi after disabling admission control on your cluster policy, I think that it should allow you to activate FT without errors. [if it still does not work so if possible, turn off all other virtual machines for free resources or to try to reduce their reservation manually if they are running with a reservation and try again.]

  with admission control, the necessary resources would be even higher.

  screenshot of Cluster summary reports that you have 4 guests in it and the memory resources available about 30 GB to 60 GB total memory. But isn't always the right figure, if you go to the monitor-> book resources, is where you will find actual "ready reserve", it's the right amount of reserve memory that you will be able to use across several virtual machines, you run in your cluster.

  I tried 2 vCPU vm FT in vSphere 6, works very well, but never tried with Hardware version 8, in your case, your virtual machine is hardware version 8, although I'm not sure if it is mandatory to have the hardware version 11 VM for FT so ideally it should work, but virtual hardware version if possible vm upgraded to 11.

• Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client?

  It's the question next poped upward.

  -Can I freely use for my business need VMware vSphere Hypervisor™, and what will be the difference with VMware vSphere Starter Kit?

  and

  -Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client software for free?

  Yes - it is freely permitted, but he he has limits and lack of features compared to the vSphere Essentials kits. Another thing to note is the absence of vCenter Server to manage multiple ESXi hypervisors with the free version. The backup API are, in my opinion, one of the main obstacles to the use of this.

• 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

• Can't active VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 6.0

  So I registered on the Web site, go to downloads > free downloads > vSphere Hypervisor and I downloaded the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 and installed on my server.  On the same page that the download link, it gave me a license key to use.  Then, I downloaded the client and connected to my server.  After login I get a pop-up stating "your evaluation license expires in 60 days.  There is a blue link that says: 'Assign a license to the ESXi host' but when I click on it, my browser opens and need me just to the home page of VMware.  If I click OK and that the box disappears, then there is no place on the interface for me to register the product.  What I'm missing here?  Screenshots included

  

  

  And I literally just thought to it right after I posted this.  I had to click on inventory > Configuration tab > features licensed > Edit > assign a new license key to this host.  Not sure why they bury him like this, but happy, what is done today.  Thank you

• You can run Citrix Xendesktop on VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor?

  Hello

  I was wondering if you can run Citrix Xendesktop on VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor free version that does not VCenter.

  And can upgrade you VMWare Vsphere Hypervisor to Vsphere upgrade without losing existing virtual machines running on Vsphere Hypervisor?

  Not sure about your first question.

  But the second question is a definite yes: simply type in a key license and she.  No resettlement, no lost of virtual machines, without interruption.

• 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.

• VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 NIC not recognized

  Hi all

  I intend to install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 in my own office, but the network adapter may not be recognized. My network card is Realtek rtl81111C, which is integrated in the motherboard Gigabyte. I want to buy a network card, could you suggest a good market (PCI, PCIe two OK) which is supported for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 for my office?

  Hello

  You can search for network cards supported here: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=io

  If it's just for the study, you might also install VMware Player or workstation (the player is free for commercial nun) and run the vSphere Hypervisor as a virtual machine.

  Does not give you optimal performance, but to study it is enough, and you don't need hardware supported for ESXi.

• The question whether to install Wins 2012 R2 before installing VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5?

  I'm new with VMware.  I have a DELL T420 server without an operating system in it.  I have a question, this first step, I need to install Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter to my server DELL T420, then the next step I will download the upgrade to VMware vsphere Hypervisor 5.5 2, is that correct?   I thank in advance for your advice.

  1. you must first download ESXi (hypervisor) and install it on your server.

  : Refer:vSphere 5.5 - How to install and configure VMware ESXi 5.5 - YouTube

  2. once the ESXi installation is successful, you can create a VM and then install windows 2012 R2 in this virtual machine as GOS.

  See:How to create a VM on a VMWare ESXi host using a VSphere Client - YouTube
