• The issue of the networking of VMWare vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.0

  Hi all

  This is my first post here, so please be gentle!

  Basically, I have a question on possible ways to install VMWare ESXi 5.0 on two machines that I put in a data center. The machines operate in the free version of ESXi, so some advanced features such as distributed switching are unfortunately out of the question.

  Both machines have identical hardware with multiple network cards, but one is used to host services and the other is essentially used as a storage for backups. I have two uplinks to the data center switch and ideally want to be able to get the best out of them (i.e. bandwidth combined these two links are available on the main server, but with the second always have access to one of of the uplinks).

  For example, the following would be appropriate?

  (1) connect an uplink directly on the first server and have the other uplink into a very basic layer 2 switch, which is connected to turn on both servers.

  (2) connect an uplink directly to each machine and have a crossover cable between the two machines which is connected to additional cards on the same vSwitch as the uplink on every machine.

  Ideas a notice in this regard are very appreciated!

  Thank you

  So with this, you suggest linking rising 'direct' must be connected to a different vSwitch to the '' crossover '' / shared uplink? that is, each machine has two 'public' vSwitches, probably to avoid the introduction of a loop in the topology?

  OK, you'll have a vSwitch 'external' of the data center, and a "internal" which is the crossover, you will treat as different networks, you need to configure all virtual machines talk to each other on the internal network, although (it's 'boring management fees' section, where the VMs will have live data center access AND internal networks).

  And no, I'm unlikely to be using 1 Gbps in the data center, but it seems stupid to have the second uplink to be sitting here, doing nothing when included in the agreement with the domain controller.

  Yes, I still think that the best way to use it would be a dual WAN firewall, you can simplify installation greatly and you can get some pretty cheap for.

• 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

  port 22 for esxi PuTTY access.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• Smart Array controller, required for VMware vSphere Hypervisor

  I currently use VMware Server on Windows 7 for my test enviromnent.  I would like to set up a server using the VMware vSphere Hypervisor.  The server is an HP Proliant ML110 G7.  The server has 4 GB of memory, single core processor quad intel (E3-1240), Intel 82574 Gigabit NIC , and an integrated HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller.  This Smart Array B110i controller will work with the latest version of the hypervisor?  Version 4.1 documentation controller HP Smart Array under ESXi hardware required but then lists it list a Smart Array P400/256 controller under installation on supported and start of storage systems.

  As far as I can see the server itself, the Integrated NIC (NC112i) or the RAID controller are supported with ESXi (not even on older versions). I really recommend you take a look at the VMware HCL (http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php) or matrix of Support from HP (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/vmware/supportmatrix/hpvmware.html)

  Regarding RAID controllers. Make sure that the controller is equipped with at least 512 MB BBWC/FBWC for a good disk performance. Addition of write cache, makes a HUGE difference.

• VMWare View on VMware vSphere Hypervisor

  Hello

  VMWare View can run on VMware vSphere Hypervisor (free version)?

  As written, you have vCenter Server and vCenter does not free ESXi...

  There are only two solutions:

  • buy a package of vSphere with vCenter and view ESXi AND the licensing module
  • buy full them see packages that also include the part of vSphere

• Convert new Vmware server for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5

  Hello

  Can someone tell me how to convert a more recent VMware Server to make it work with an older VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5?

  I just installed this version on an old IBM xseries 346, but I can't turn on the virtual machine. When you check the log it is said that the version is not compatible.

  Can you also tell me how to get rid of the warning of a 60-day trial. This version should be free?

  Thanks in advance

  You must go to the directory of the virtual machine before you can issue the vmkfstools command.

• 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.

  There is unfortunately quite hard limits, for example 8 GB vRAM, it's the total amount of RAM to virtual machines. I suggest that you look at version 4.1 and not 5.0.

  (VMware is however always claim that the virtual machines on the free vSphere Hypervisor could use unlimited RAM. It is probably not correct.)
