vSphere 6.0 license Standard downgrade then upgrade
Hi guys,.
Just a quick I'm not quite clear on if possible.
Basically, I have two hosts of ESXi, an old box of 5.5 running on vSphere essentials license and a new box of 6.0 running with the standard license for vSphere. The new server is not yet in production, and is associated with a San (current storage on the 5.5 server is local)
We have a 4 CPU license for vSphere 6.0 standard, so what I was hoping to do was downgrade 2 CPU of this license to 5.5 and apply it on the 5.5 server, this will enable vMotion and let me live migrate servers of local storage for the new San and across to the new host. I then tried to shut down the old Server 5.5, rebuild fresh with ESXi 6.0 and then upgrade the number of processors 2 license 6.0 who have been downgraded, back to 6.0.
Is it possible to do so without incurring a cost? I see that a downgrade is possible for free, but I'm not 100% clear on the component to upgrade. Basically, I wanted to do it this way to avoid blackouts, but if it comes to it, then I can plan a failure, just try to scope out right now.
Thank you.
I was wrong. I just checked and you can select 'Upgrade quantity'. I learned something new today.
From the point of view upgrade/downgrade you can make it back as long as you have a valid support contract.

Standard/Media vCenter upgrade download
Hello all,.
I am planning my Virtual Center 2.5 update to 4.0. I have 1 server, 2 servers in the next few weeks.
Server 1 existing Win 2003 Server (32-bit)
NEW server to Server 2 Win 2008 (64-bit)
I know I can't install 4.1 on the 32-bit server, and it will pass in the coming months so I can move to 4.1 but the hardware does not support at this time. First of all, where can I find the installer of vCenter Standard 4.0.1? I saw the 4.1 Setup program available. Secondly, will it work to have these 2 servers with different operating systems in 4.0.1-bound mode?
Then when I do the upgrade from 2.5 to 4.0 on Windows 2003 Server I'll use a basis existing, hosted on SQL 2000. I would like to do the upgrade in place, and then migrate the database to a different server running SQL 2005. Is this the way to go, or should I move the database to SQL 2005 first, then upgrade? Is there a documentation about the displacement of the database?
Thanks for your help,
Joe

v.38 a pst import again problem. v.37 ok if can import then upgrade.
Just for a guy 'heads-up '. Recently installed Thunderbird on mine and computers portable friend without any problem.
Tried to get it also works on my desk for a few days and it repeatedly crashes when importing. Tried all sorts of tricks like putting the pst file on a USB and uninstall/reinstall Thunderbirds and Outlook.
Finally found earlier problem reports down to specific versions of Thunderbird. Laptops have v.37, but the Office has v.38.
A previous fix was to install v.24 and then upgrade. Just tried this and it worked a treat. v.24 imported all my outlook stuff and then everything just improved v.38.
Either way, all 3 machines running Windows 7 and Outlook Express.
Best regards
PhilThanks for the heads up.

I explore what I need to do to upgrade my imac. My current OS is x version 10.5.8. I read the posts on this site advises users to buy 10.6 (Snow leopard) and then upgrade more far away. Since I was only 1 GB of memory, do I need additional memory installed first? Is this possible? I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz processor and 1 GB of memory. My Info says memory I have 1 Bank empty. Thanks for any help!
You need to install more RAM before moving to Snow Leopard and need to do before moving to Lion or newer. Buy it from a source OWC or Crucial.

Licensing - Standard Edition 2
Hello
License Standard Edition 2 Oracle limits max taken at 2 and the CPU to 16 threads.
My question is-> limits of Cpu threads, is a limitation of contract or a limitation of the technology?
I mean, imagine that I buy a server with the servers of two 10. (20 cores with hyperthreading are 40 wires). There is a limitation within the database to limit to 16 sons with no breach of contract, or it will use 40 sons and so would be a breach of contract?
This letter makes clear,

Downgrade and divide vSphere 6 Enterprise license?
Small question
I have not had to do this before, so I want to make sure you do the right thing
We have just received a 20 CPU license for vSphere 6 Enterprise through our portal of VMware.
Normally when we receive licenses via the portal of VMware, we divide it into 2 CPU licenses for our dual CPU servers.
A 20 CPU license is divided into 10 licenses of 2 processors
What of new now, is that we will also install the need to downgrade vSphere licenses 6 in vSphere 5 as we are activating vSphere 5.5
Do I need to downgrade the CPU 20 license, we received in vSphere 5 before that I divide them or do I need to downgrade 10 2 CPU licenses after that I have split them?
Does it matter either way?
I received an email from our VMware counterpart.
In case anyone else needs to know, you can perform this function downgrade/split or split/downgrade anyway
