• vSphere 4.1 5 upgrade and licensing issues

  I currently have two server PowerEdge 2900. They each have two processors to 4 cores of each and 24 GB of RAM. Each server has a license in advance of vSphere 4 for 2 physical processors (1-12 cores). I also have vCenter 4 Foundation installed and licensed.

  I am looking to buy a new PowerEdge 620 with 2 processors, 8 cores each, and 128 GB of RAM.

  I want to do the following.

  1) upgrade the vCenter 4 to 5 license. Upgrade 2 CPUs with a value of 4 advance to 5 Enterprise vSphere vSphere licenses.

  2) update my installation of vCenter vCenter 4 5.

  (3) install ESXi 5 on new server PowerEdge 620.

  (4) migrate all virtual machines (guests) to a PowerEdge 2900 server to the new server 620.

  (5) Server Decomission the 2900 now blank.

  (6) keep the other server 2900 HA around and the low priority. VMs (I'm undecided as to whether I should upgrade to ESXi 5 on this one).

  Changes to licenses of 4 to 5 seems like a maze, but according to my calculations, 2 processors of licence 4 set to upgrade to 5, should give me enough for 2 CPUs and 128 GB of vRAM on the 620. It's my first time going through an upgrade like this, so I was hoping that someone with more experience could weigh in on this plan. I'm completely missing something, and he will be missed horribly? Any extra info / advice is appreciated.

  Thank you

  ... it is said that the old license get deactivated after the new ones are issued...

  Don't worry about this. Only old license on the portal keys will be disabled when you upgrade the key to v5. There is no license on your systems check, which will disable the host or vCenter Server.

  PS: Although there is no verification of the license, it is your responsibility to ensure that the old and the new licenses are not used simultaneously. It would be a violation of the EULA.

• How to extract targets ESXi4 vMA license?

  vimsh (vmware-vim-cmd/vim-cmd) is available only on the class of Service ESX Console or not supported busybox ESXi console.

  There are no canned on vMA scripts that allow you to retrieve information about the licenses and licenses properties on vSphere 4.0 has changed significantly from 3.5 VI.

  You can access license info by looking at the licenseManager managed object that is part of the vSphere API: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.LicenseManager.html

  If you want to extract the license info without having to write your own scripts or learn how the work of the API, you use one of these health check scripts:

  VI 3.5 - VMware v0.9.5 health check report

  vSphere 4.0 - VMware vSphere Health Check Report v5.1.0

  which includes licensing and other elements of information information

• Intel Nehalem Hyperthreading "carrots" and licenses (upgrade)

  Hello!

  Because the new vSphere seems to change licensing number of heart, I would like to get an idea how licensing account new Nehalem hyper-threading? Wise core which is 4 per socket, but 'core of execution' wise man who must be 8 per socket.

  We just bought the Dell R710 with the prior of the Foundation Acceleration Kit (with an interview of course) launch of vSphere, would wait to allow the upgrade to vSphere as-is without taking to reopen the order has already been submitted.

  BR,

  Kalle

  Hello Kalle

  There will be a lot more information around vSphere price and packaging puts online later today.

  Regarding the upgrade of your licenses, please see the information already posted here http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/upgrade-center/licensing.html

  With respect, the editions of vSphere question hyperthreading will allow all physical cores per CPU. VSphere advanced and enterprise packages will support 12 physical cores per CPU. VSphere standard licenses will support 6 physical cores per CPU.

• Cloning and licenses

  I have 16 laptops that I use for the safety tests.  They must be wiped out and reconfigured after business travel.

  We have been under XP SP3 so far, but we must move on to Vista.  Professional Vista licenses are available from our KMS on the field (that I do not have access to), but we do not know how this will all work together.

  When you destroy a domain Vista workstation, then reconnect it. will he get the same license?  In the same way that a machine can pull the same reserved IP address from the DHCP server, as it is MAC address has not changed?

  If anyone has any advice on this subject would be great, but I guess I would especially need a resource to learn all of the questions I should ask here.  Maybe a link that explains how Vista, cloning and licenses all work together.  Sorry if this all sounds vague.

  Check in the IT Pro TechNet forums forums - this kind of question is really beyond the assistance that we provide here because we support users who install Vista for single computer use.

• Windows 8 store problem of cache and licenses

  Hello

  I recently bought a computer dell laptop Windows 8. I have a few problems in the windows store. I'm unable to update or check out all the new apps on the store. I continue to by clicking on the icons of application but nothing downloads and updates existing fail as well. When the troubleshooter in Windows 8 App running it is said that ' Windows store cache and licenses can be corrupt " I cleared caches and updated licenses both manually and through the application of the resolution of the problems, but the problem persists and I get the same message of the cache corrupted every time troubleshooting tool. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Thank you very much for your reply, Prandeep :)

  I have no day my computer, nor have I received error messages. I could scroll down and browse the store but it was insensitive to all clicks I did, so I was not able to download/update anything

  When running the troubleshooter, I still got the message on corrupt cache even after fixing using the Troubleshoot utility.

  However, I have just above, came the problem. I have consulted the storage of the C drive windows folder and manually created a cache folder.

  I read the solution on a Web tech site and it worked for me.

  Will put in place a link here for all other people facing the same problem, as soon as I find them still.

• What groups safety and licensing for developers and the bulk API?

  I am currently working on the API integration in bulk of our SaaS product to Eloqua customer instance.  General requirements include read a list of contact lists and then adding/setting day of Contacts in a list.  They sent us a list of groups of security and licensing options and asked us to the API user account and a user account temporary developer/Tester (check that data arrives intact in Eloqua).  Here's what I assumed from documentation and the discussions here, but someone can tell me if this is correct?

  User of the API (permanent)

  Required permissions: "Everyone," "Users of the API," "user - Marketing base" (to access Contacts or 'Advanced users - Marketing' if "custom objects" access?)

  License: no

  Temporary interactive user to developer/Tester

  Required permissions: "Everyone", "Basic Marketing - users" (and, possibly, 'Advanced users - Marketing' if "custom objects" access?)

  License: Eloqua Marketing Platform

  The other element that I see referenced in the code examples is the specifier "site" or "instance".  What format does it take, and where I can tell the client to search for it in their console Eloqua?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  Let's simplify things a bit...

  For the use of the API (one of them!), you should have User API and Marketing advanced - users.  This warranty covers the basics.

  Licensing should only come into play for things as endpoints to deliver.

  Until the 'site' or 'instance', it is the simple name of the company and is when the user connects to Eloqua.

  

  Hope that helps!

• vSphere 5.0 and 5.5 ESXi cluster

  Hello

  We intend to improve vsphere 5.0 and 5.5 in 2015.  We are truly in a process of buying new servers and I would like to know if I can get the two 5.0 and 5.5 to ESXi ESXi in the same cluster.  If it is possible I vMotion virtual machines in 5.0 for servers 5.5 ESXi ESXi servers and get the ESXi 5.0 on the cluster.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you will first get vCenter to 5.5 and you cannot upgrade the hardware virtual past version 9 until all hosts have been upgraded.  In addition, you cannot move data warehouses to VMFS5 until all hosts have been upgraded.

  I hope this helps...

  Should I use another method of migration?

  Once that you have migrated, can solve this problem without re-migration of computers?

• Differences between the ISCSI connections to the storage in vSphere 4.1 and 5.0.

  I'm in trouble of setting up the connections of storage in a new VSphere 5.0 test environment. In our environment VSphere 4.1, it was possible to create a virtual switch add two Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 NIC. Set assets. IP Hash value as load balancing. (LACP Etherchannel on physical switches) This configuration uses a grain port and a single IP address. Then add our NetApp NFS storage and ISCSI Equillogic storage. In VSphere 5.0, I can't create this same configuration. I have to create separate with separate IP addresses vmkernal ports? The idea was to have redundant connections to the storage and flow of these two NETWORK cards. Possibly adding additional if necessary to the futuer NETWORK cards. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  How can I work around this:

  "VMkernel network adapter must have an active link exactly and no waiting rising to be eligible for the iSCSI HBA connection."

  I can certainly say that the way which allows you to configure the iSCSI Multipathing is incorrect.

  The main idea is to let Native Multipathing Plugin to decide what network path to choose, not the vSwitch.

  At the level of the network layer, you must have 1 VMK by a physical NIC.

  This technique applies as well for vSphere 4.1 and 5.0, but with the 5.0 it is configured easier and more quickly.

  Here's a very brief consequence of steps

  1. get 2 VMK interfaces and assign an IP by each VMK.

  2. set each VMK to use only one physical NETWORK adapter

  3 GB with storage iSCSI software adapter, turn it on and bind your VMKs 2.

  4 connect to your iSCSI storage space

  5 rescan devices, create the VMFS datastore

  6. set the desired load balancing VMFS method or just set up a prior default create new VMFS
