VMware vSphere 5.0 Open Source?

What I'm reading?  VMware vSphere 5.0 Open Source?  I missed something?  I understand for device drivers, but for ESXi 5.0 / vSphere?  I THINK who would 'give the farm' and create significant revenue and license issues.  What Miss me?

The package open source includes the sources of the driver you mentioned and code to a number of tools and utilities that ESXi uses.  It does not include the code of source vmkernel.  This is a closed source product.

    VMware, as virtually every software development company, incorporates certain open existing in their own proprietary source code. More open source licenses like the popular GNU General Public License (GPL) legally require you must publish the source code modified with your distribution of binary software (often under the same license).

    There is not really much of a practical use for end users, but it may be useful for other developers and software 3rd party development.

  • VMware and VMware assessment Open Source downloads

    As I begin my quest of VCP, I noted that vSphere 4.1 is available as a 60-day evaluation copy.  I also noticed that most of VMWare products are available as an Open Source download.  What is the difference between the two?  Open source includes source code that needs to be compiled?  Open source includes all the features that downloads of evaluation?  After the expiration of my assessment of 60 days can re - install a new copy of the assessment?

    Also, I intend to use a machine virtual Workstation 7.1 on a single machine (2 E5450 image Intel processors, 32 GB memory, SATA 3 x 300 GB disks and dual gigabit NIC).  Workstation 7.1 is only a 30-day trial, how do I overcome this problem so I can continue studying the limit of 30 days?  Is there free workstation downloads that can run all the vSphere components?  What virtual machine, it can perform all the tricks of vSphere?

    I know it's quite a few questions, but I am planning for most eventualities.  Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated!

    I would like to buy a copy of the workstation. With enough resources, it seems that you have, you can nest several ESXi facilities such as virtual hosts and run the 32-bit clients within those. If you run vCenter and a shared storage VM directly as long as virtual machines in my computer, it is possible to create a nice mini data center on a single machine. It is possible to test most of the features of vSphere, including things like vMotion. The ability to run ESXi nested is directly supported by WS 7. I don't think it's possible in 5 WS.

    I was looking around the area of download for vmware player and I see that there are downloads for Mware Workstation 8.0.2 and 4.0.2 Open Source player. This means that we can build preinstalled vmware and use it for free?

    No, but you can use different components in the available packages which are Open Source however the necessary basic elements for virtualization are not Open Source or a part of the Open Source packages available.  Suggest you read VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and player 4.0.2 Open Source License for more details.

  • Auto open when you click on VMware vSphere PowerCLI icon.

    Hello

    Quick question is there a configuration file or a way for me to have powershell cli automaticly "connect-viserver" when I open the icon "VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

    Thank you

    There are several ways to achieve this.

    The best way, in my humble opinion, is to add the Connect-VIServer cmdlet to a PowerShell profile files.

    Just add a line to the file. If you use an authorized account, you can do

    SE connect-VIServer-Server MyServer

    I suggest you use the profile of the current user, in this way that the Connect-VIServer will run only when you start PowerCLI

  • How to connect to VMware VSphere Hypervisor via the internet

    Hello

    I'll set up a server with VMware Vsphere Hypervisor and want to connect to the server via Internet, so not in my local network. If it can, what are the ports I need to open to you connect to the server somewhere else? And if I open this ports can I just connect to the server using my external IP, or what I have to configure something?

    Welcome to the community.

    First open it.

    The ICMP opened between the source and destination. If there is a communication.

    They then treat access esxi.

    Port 443 for vsphere client connection esxi.

    902 port to access the virtual machine console

  • Newb: How to install the utility customer infrastructure on the server? Which product? Open source Versions?

    I installed ESXi 3.5 with success to an old IBM eServer in my lab.  I used VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD - 3.5.0_Update_4 - 153875.i386.iso.

    I was also able correctly to install "The VMware Infrastructure Client" on another system and use it to create a virtual of Windows 2008 machine.

    1. I would like to have the same capacity on the server that I now remote, but I don't know which product should be added and how you actually add it produces.

    2. in addition, I don't know if I even installed the 'good' version of the server. I hope that I have installed a version that I can continue to be used for an unlimited number of times. If I didn't, then I would like to know what version of VMware for my server, I should install so I can continue to learn and test with falling on "your evaluation has expired."  It took a while to get this set up and I don't want to keep doing this over and over again.

    3. is there any place on the VMware site which has represented product relationships? Who has drawn different platforms?

    I do not know if I use the 'correct' and don't know where to go to fix this. I think it's something that VMware do as simply as possible for beginners like me.

    Thank you very much

    vSphere is really a marketing term used in references to the VMware virtualization platform the datacenter version - it refers to the suite of vMware products has just published including ESX 4.0, ESXi 4.0 and vCenter 4.0 and other parts.  The previous version had a similar title Virtual Infrastructure 3 or VI-3 referring to the software suite consisting of ESX 3.x, ESXi 3.x, Virtual Center 2.x and other parts. VI - 3 and vSphere have their respective customers - the vSphere client can be used to manage vSphere components while the client VI-3, Virtual Infrastructure Client (VI Client) can only mange VI-3 components. Now with this base I will try to answer your questions

    • If you are using your server ESXi 3.5 vSphere client is part of an environment of vCenter vSphere - because as part of the upgrade [to vCenter 4.0 can handle a server ESXi 3.5 -

    • It is not a tool open source I know to be taken in charge or not supported.

    • The platform of the last and largest is the line of products - ESX, ESXi 4 and vCenter 4 vSphere 4

    • The best free platform is ESXi 4 - this is the State of the art virtualization platform - it is available for free, but you'll still have to record it with VMware to get a valid license.  VMware has also a hosted virtualization platform that turns over operation called VMware Server - but ESXi has a higher level of performance-

    Hope this clears up things

  • 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'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

    1 Descargar los patches 'ESXi550-201404001'y'ESXi550-201404020'.

    2 Subirlos a VMware Update Manager para con esta posteriormente instalarlos in los host.

    3 el orden para los patches apply are "ESXi550-201404020" Primero y luego "ESXi550-201404001".

    4 Reiniciar el host y corregida the environment would be.

    Note: también me indican no delpierre fornuis has version VMware vSphere 5.5 U1 lo contrario is a the environment encontrarme y tendría than corregirla again.

    Dudas:

    1 Este so are el KB correcto para correcion of the environment?

    2 Esta TR are training (orden) to apply los patches?

    3. are cierto no delpierre fornuis has version 5.5 U1?

    Of photos gracias por su colaboracion acostumbrada tan.

    Te refieres has the environment of software of Open SSL reciente. Answering intento a tus dudas.

    Runs following comandos y dime if the version of ESXi e tienes informs are certainly the're (5.5.0 1331820). If so esa version is bajo the environment:

    # vmware - vl

    VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820

    VMware ESXi 5.5.0 GA


    OpenSSL 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f (included) are vulnerable

    Ahora el comando siguiente para ver the version of Open SSL runs there if sale you esta version, estas in riesgo:


    # OpenSSL version-

    OpenSSL 1.0.1e February 11, 2013

    built: kills Feb 26 16:34:26 PST 2013


    In fact, if you appears otra SSL version ten in a hotel that also can be vulnerable. Son todas las versiones 1.01 has the 1.0.1f. ASI del example, than ESXi 5.5 seria para el. build 1331820, veras are the 1.01e y por lo tanto tiene el problema.

    Sabido esto entonces you respondo a tus dudas:

    Thank you

    Chris

    As William, he will not be supported, but you can use the SDK Software VMware Perl quite easily on any platform of Perl (I did it with window as well).  I did specifically on Ubuntu and OS X over the years.

    Install the requirements of the module as shown in "vSphere SDK Perl Source Code installation on Linux".  In the source package, copy the folder VMware vmware vsphere-cli-distrib/lib/VMware/sharing of archive download Perl Linux SDK to your path to Perl.

    For required modules, you can use PPM, CPAN or apt get the packages.

    I ran this way for years without any problem, but this obviously isn't an official support statement

    You should be able to simply do not put a proxy during Setup.  It's there in case it is necessary to download the module dependencies.

    vSphere SDK for Perl bindings are located inside the installer, just download it from here http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/ and extract the contents and you will see. MP files that are client-side stubs.
