• VMWare vSphere 4 hypervisor ESXi 4.1 - can buy upgrade to 4.1 Patch 11 again?

  Hi guys

  I have a x 3650 M2 aging IBM server running the free version of vSphere 4 Hypervisor ESXi 4.1.0 260247.

  I'm looking to install esxi version 4.1 Patch11.

  I have a few questions:
  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  Kind regards

  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  Yes, but a backup is always recommended.

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  You can download it for free here: https://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  According to VMware HCL, your x 3650 M2 IBM server is compatible with the latest version of ESXi:

• assessment of vSphere/vCenter with ESXi license error

  I downloaded vCenter assessment and ESXi 4 software.  I installed ESXi 4 on several different physical servers and configuration of the virtual computer on each of these hosts.  Also made free licenses on those hosts.  Then I installed vCenter assessment with a 90 day trial license.  But when I try to add the ESXi host to vCenter console, I get an error license not available to perform the operation.  How can I get past this so I can continue my assessment of this system?  Thank you.

  I think that the reason why you can not return to the eval license is because you have ESXi installed for more than 60 days.  Thus, the period of time eval has expired.  I just confirmed that I can return on a new install of ESXi, return to eval mode, while on a more-than-60 days ESXi host, I can't return to eval mode.

  Therefore, you need to reinstall in order to get a 60 day trial 'new' period of time, or buy a license with the desired features.

• The VMware Client with VDR plugin installed error

  

  I initially just uninstalled the client and reinstalled, does not resolve the issue.

  Then I uninstalled client and all the plugins and started to install one by one until I found the vdr plugin is causing this problem. To confirm that I uninstalled vdr plugin... no error... reinstalled vdr plugin... error.

  Versions:

  VDR 2.0

  vCenter Server 4.1

  Client VMware 4.1

  Anyone seen this before? I couldn't really find much research...

  I've heard of support: this is a known bug and a patch is being developed.  There is currently no work around for this problem (other than uninstalling the plug).

  See you soon,.

• 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.

• 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.

• Advanced of environment VMware vSphere, Esxi 5.5

  Amigos,

  Hoy estoy again the comunidad publicando post para buscar UN knew consejo y experiencia en VMware, el tema hoy are the advanced of una environment in una plataforma VMware vSphere a c the tabla that take the environment as sebo corregir:

  Assets	Trend	Assets
  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 Build 1331820	Vuln	via the ssl Protocol

  Against a respond of problemas mi sort el KB (2076665) of VMware pero este habla no estoy seguro TR este o los KB dries alli sugeridas son los correct esta environment expuesta in tabla anterior, ahora reach a ser este KB el correcto than tiendo as debo hacer lo are:

  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:

  1) if, el KB than indicas soluciona el problema of the software environment.

  VMware KB: Solve OpenSSL software for ESXi 5.5 - CVE - 2014 - 0160

  2) if, el orden instalacion los parches of that el are.

  Not continue TR cerebro VMware Update Manager (desconozco if lo tienes wont y configurado), are themselves encargara descargar los parches internet host el y tenerlos in vCenter would para ser desplegados in el el. Además VMware Update Manager hara el instalacion than sea preciso orden.

  Te recommend that cuando tengas a rato arrows UN ojo a Update Manager y prueba alguna do. Te gustara.

• esxi free upgrade to VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Hi we are a small company with a new 1 and 1 old server sent us this question for the Department sales of vmware but have had no response.

  We have two questions we hope that someone has had a few experiences with.

  Currently we use free on our new server esxi5 if we buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  1. is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  2 if we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  It would be much cheaper than the use of VMware vSphere Essentials Kit pro and seems to do the same job.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community!

  Is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  Yes enter vSphere Essentials Kit License keys will unlock the applicable for this Kit features, re - install ESXi will be not be held

  If we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  vSphere Essentials Kit inclused vStorage APIs for Data Protection so you should be good to use the third-party data protection software

• ESXi 5/VMWare vSphere 5 tool Mgmt Essentials

  I got the upgrade of the v5 FREE ESXi from VMWare vSphere Essentials 5 hypervisor.  I'm looking for what we call the 'vCenter Management Console", which I'm supposed to have access with me purchase vSphere Essentials 5, to manage multiple servers within a single console ESXi and also have a GUI based ESXi management tool for updates to update my v5 ESXi servers.

  With the naming conventions wonderfully confusing of all the different productions of VMWare, I can't find anything with that name.  The closest element I can find reference only ESXi v4 and when I try to download, I gives me a warning that I am not allowed to download.

  Could someone shed some light on this topic for me so I can clarify what I'm looking for?  Still, it comes to a VMWare vSphere 5 Essential Kit that I just bought.

  Thank you

  Dave

  Yes, you could use an Oracke VM or VM VMware running under VMplayer or in the essential of vSphere environment - or you can manage ESXi and the individual instances servers using the client installed on your workstation vSphere with them having to use vCenter -

  VCenter integration in an AD environment is not a requirement it just makes managing easier users/groups in a large environment - you can actually have the server part of a workgroup and use groups the and users on the access - default server administrators locala groups is given administrator access to the environment of vcenetr -.

  With regard to updating a ESXi host, you do not need VMware Update Manager, it can be done using the CLI - you can update with software esxcli 5.0 ESXi hosts vib commands discussed in vSphere upgrade documentation included in the documentation of vSphere set 5.0. You cannot run the command vihostupdate against a 5.0 ESXi host.

  If you are looking for to deploy individual hosts with likited resources that, I would suggest deploythe free version of ESXi - weak positive points cost disadvantages: you need to manage each host individually and will be capped on memory - which I believe is 32 GB

  With the essentials, it will be more expensive, but you know be able to manage several servers ESXi to a place more depending on your license, you will be able to take advantage of VMware HA allowsing your environment to recover from a failure of the host, VMware DRS, which will ensure the delivery of resources to VMS in times of conflict and can back up the virtual machine with them affecting the performance of the virtual machine or access

  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.

  Yes you can.

  Do not forget to allow the ESXi with the serial number you already have (otherwise you cannot manage their vCenter).
