• vSphere Storage Appliance doubts

  Hi all!

  We are looking to deploy this nice technology in our environment. We have 20 servers without DAS and 12 with 250 GB of flash each. My question is: if I use VSA with a server, the server B and Server C (three have DAS) can the servers without DAS see volumes created? or only server A, the server B and Server C are able to do?

  Thank you

  Other servers will be able to see the created volumes. They will be mounted as NFS data automatically stores on ESXi hosts in the same datacenter as the servers A, B, C.

• VMware vSphere 4 licenses essential question and the number of processors

  Hi all

  I have a question about the Essentials of VMware vSphere 4.1 license. We have a client interested in a VMware vSphere Essentials license. The machine runs on 2 x processor Xeon 5675 6 c. Now I read somewhere that there was a limitation of the number of processors that can be used with the edition of Essentials. If I remember correctly, the number of physical sockets is limited to 2, but I remember that there is another limit, but I could not find the document describing and wonder:

  Is there a limitation on the maximum number of 4 cores on one physical processor that can or will be used by VMware vSphere 4.1 Essentials or there is a limitation on the number of 4 vCPU that can be assigned to a guest?

  I would like to know because if this is a limitation on the number of vCPU that can be assigned to a customer that would not be a problem because we have no guests in need of vCPU, then 2 more, but if this is a limitation on the number of cores that would be used by VMware vSphere Essentials, it would be a waste of money to buy a 6-Core ;-)

  Hello.

  2 taken with 3 guests, 6 hearts and SMP 4 lanes for virtual machines.

  These limitations are available at: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/small_business_editions_comparison.html

  Good luck!

• 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.

• A new doubt on the license - VMware vSphere Essential Kit

  Hi guys,.

  I play virtualize physical servers in the company I work (about 10 smaller servers).

  To start some tests, I bought a Dell r.620 server with two processors and 64 GB of RAM.

  I think buy just one license of VMware vSphere Essential Kit, just to test some features, management, and support provided by VMware.

  My doubt is: to support all the RAM (64 GB), I have purchase a license of the vSphere Essential Kit, or I need TWO?

  I'm a little confused on how much physical RAM memory on a single server, the vShpere Essential Kit can handle.

  OK, I know I can use a free version. But this test server will be transformed into a production server, and that the price of the vSphere Essential Kit is very good, I would buy it and start my test as a test of "production"...

  Guys, sorry for my bad English, it is not my mother tongue. =(

  Thanks much for any help.

  Hi Alex,

  Since you are doing a test on a single server so a Kit should be good at this point. In addition to Essential Kit do not fully support 64 GB of RAM so no need to buy two. Only the free versions have limits in support of only 32 GB of RAM.

  Diagram below will give you a good idea on the different Kits.

  Also, you can read about licensing and prices here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Pricing-Whitepaper.pdf

  

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• 5 of VSphere and VMware vSphere Essentials Licensing

  I just the unit of vCenter installed and put my license keys in for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle - (version 5.0) - license - 3 guests - up to 2 processors by host

  However, when I connect via vSphere client of web it says I have a key that expires in 60 days (the assessment key). I can't delete this key. I'll find myself unable to manage my VM with vSphere Web Client in 60 days?

  Man, this approval is confusing!

  

  Thank you!

  Post edited by: a.p. - in gray license keys!

  Looks like that you always use your evaluation key for your instance of vCenter instead of your purchased key.  If you click on the tab of systems vCenter server you should be able to pass the eval on a key your purchased key.  That should solve your problem.

• Essentials for vSphere Standard - correct license?

  We are running 3 x machines hosts vsphere 4.1 essentials connected to a server vCenter (not the essentials vcenter server) running standard. We know that if we improve these host machines we cannot be handled by our server vCenter (v5.5) due to a change of license and it is like not possible.

  
  After the execution of these 3 guests with Essentials, we now seek to introduce environmental vmotion and storage vmotion. Can you confirm for me that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses?

  It doesn't seem to be an upgrade from Essentials to vSphere standard. Team VMware licenses have already recommended to talk to our partners and after that they recommend to purchase:

  VMware vSphere with operations management [Corporate - upgrading: VMware vSphere 5 Essentials to vSphere Operations Manag Std Acceleration Kit of 6 processors]

  It is also much more expensive and much more than necessary.  I believe that it is unnecessary to go this route because it is much more expensive than buying the vSphere licensing standards.

  Can anyone confirm that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses in order to manage them with vCenter Server Standard to enable vmotion between these hosts?

  I understand that acceleration kits are grouped to be more profitable, but because you already have a license of vcenter standard you are right, you will need the correct number of vSphere ESXi licenses which is sold per CPU - so if your three hosts are dual cpu you will need 6 licenses

  Then connect to MyVMware, and then on the home page you should be able to select all downloads 'Quick links' to the right of the window that will be you to all products from the download page.

  Of here beneath Datacenter & Cloud Infrastructure with VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) and click on see the components that will take you to the download VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) page that must have the Select Version to download: area just below the drop-down 6.0 default title.

  Select 5.0 from this menu drop-down, and the product must move to VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.0.0 U3 which is the latest version 5.0.  Click on download.

  You may now see the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5 Download Center, probably with a message saying that you are not registered for this product if yes click on Register under the button close the session in the Welcome to the right area and submit your details.

• 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.
