  The Horizon Suite includes Desktop vCenter and vSphere Desktop?

  I see in the description of the product Horizon Suite includes 'View of the Horizon', but we know not if it's the 'Horizon view Bundle', which includes vSphere and vCenter, or the "Horizon view add-on", is not.

  Anyone can clarify that for me?

  Thank you

• client vSphere and vCenter server

  The vsphere compatibility page 14 OS compatibility tables.  I see that Windows 2000 server sp4 has no compatibility with client vSphere and vCenter server.  This means that if you have 2000 servers in your current VMware environment you must upgrade the operating system or?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Information on p.14 means that Windows 2000 SP4 is not compatible with (in other words, you can not install) the Client vSphere, vCenter Server and VMware vCenter Update Manager.

  Specific versions of Windows 2000 Server can be verified to support in the Compatibility Guides.  As long as you plan to run the Client vSphere, vCenter Server or VMware vCenter Update Manager on Windows 2000 virtual machines, you'll probably be fine.  It depends on which version of Windows 2000, you have, but just check the compatibility guide to be sure.

  Good luck!

• languages in vSphere and vCenter

  Hello people,

  I installed the vCenter and vSphere Client so I had to find out there is no prompt for languages. I am of the Germany, and when I finished to install vShpere on German Windows 2003 Server OS everything was in German (terrible). How these products recognize install in German? Local version of the OS, locale (those which exactly)?

  However, now I've read in the description for und vSphere ESX 4.0 there is a command line option to change this:

  vpxClient -locale en_US

  First of all, how to run this command, because I have no experience with CLI?

  Secondly, it sets the language settings for each client that will connect in the future and vCenter itself?

  Thirdly, this fix, the language setting in the Client vSphere for each text, because I also saw phenomena, that most of the text is in English, but the description of the task and vSphere lLogonscreen is in German.

  Hello.

  First of all, how to run this command, because I have no experience with CLI?

  In Windows, you can start-> run the following command:

  vpxClient.exe - local-en - U .S.

  VpxClient.exe running in Start menu-> Run would be the equivalent of the double click on the shortcut on the desktop or the Start Menu.  You can also create a shortcut with these included switches, or changing the text already there.

  Secondly, it sets the language settings for each client that will connect in the future and vCenter itself?

  Each customer must launch the application with the above switches.

  Thirdly, this fix, the language setting in the Client vSphere for each text, because I also saw phenomena, that most of the text is in English, but the description of the task and vSphere lLogonscreen is in German.

  It probably won't fix everything.  Plugins and other items may present as expected.

  Good luck!

• vSphere and vCenter license price is based on the YEAR?

  Hello

  Even if I already know as the product of vSphere and so forth and I am familiar with other virtualization technologies (I will avoid to mention here), I would like to ask about the license costs.

  Currently, we use various stand-alone vSphere servers (sometimes evaluation license and a free license for 5.5), but I would like to have vMotion Metro and subnet rather than in private solutions like 'Veeam' quick migration, etc.

  I went to see the costs... which are generally extremely high, but then I realize that the cost is basic 1 year or 3 years, which means that all VMWare license costs are billed ANNUALLY?

  I mean, if I have 3 hosts ESXi and a cVenter with cost € 4000 will be € 4000 per year? I think it's crazy.

  Can anyone confirm?

  Concerning

  Hey,.

  When you buy the license first, you pay X amount, which includes the license to base 1 or 3 years Support and subscription (SnS).

  After this time, you pouvez renew your SnS for amount Y. For vSphere, one year basic Support is about 10% of the initial report and if I remember correctly.

  But you don't have to renew the SnS, your software will continue to work.

  SnS assets allows you to call VMware and leader in applications for support and very important: you can upgrade your license to the new major version keys when it comes out.

  If for example you can improve your keys of vSphere vSphere 5 6 keys subsequently.

• Failed to connect to client host vsphere and Vcenter also esxi.

  Hi all

  I am trying to connect to the ESXi 5 of vsphere client host. I get the error message:

  vSphere client cannot connect to < ip > an unknown connection error has occurred. (The request has failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond. (L'opération a expirer)).

  and of VCENTR I am trying to add this host. I get the error. Of"request timed out".

  I can connect to the shell of ESXi and restart the vpxa services and spend. I can ping to esi IP host. but just cannot connect to it.

  earlier, he the host showed as disconnected in Vcenter. I tried to plug it failed. so I took it off I think can re add back. It did not work.

  I can just connect to client as esx host.

  kindly advice.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I am able to connect now.

  I noticed as I said previously, unable to connect to the localhost error when running esxcli. Unable to connect using the vsphere client. Unable to connect using VCenter.

  So I started to dig that's wrong with the OS esxi. and began running a few commands information esxcfg etc file system use of space, inode inconsistency, a few other commands such vdh, df to check the file system.  . and but has not changed anything. network configuration is correct.

  in these I run services.sh reboot, restart vpxa, pass reboot, restart host, check the logs, vmkernel, vpxa newspapers spend., check the date and time of the host.  I couldnot Firewall check since esxcli did not work. I haven't checked listed above step on the SSO.

  If you type esx and double tab, you will see many orders. I started testing on these orders.  so esxcli was a single command I tried later. It worked all of a sudden.

  Once esxcli has started working, I checked vsphere client to connect to esx host that it worked. then I was able to connect in Vcenter also.

  Thank you for your support

• Integration of vSphere and vCenter logging Question

  Hello

  A few questions!

  1. VSphere integration with vCenter Server provides all the extra features on just by pulling the newspaper from vCenter through a syslog collector?
  2. Do you see any problem with the help of nxlog or Agent Insight of the newspaper to pull the following logs listed below, even if they are written not enough constantly? (Such as file permissions or use errors)
  3. There be any question, removing the vcenter/host integration in newspaper Insight and use a separate method of sending newspapers to the Insight Journal?
  4. How the Agent Insight of the newspaper would handle files with dynamic names? I would say just journal catalina.*.log?

• difference of vSphere and vCenter.

  If vSphere for managing virtual servers on a server esxi, vCenter is for management of more than 1 Server esxi? Make a vCenter data center management tool. If this is true, is there something for multiple vCenters management (data centers)? If my terminology is incorrect too please correct. Thank you.

  You have a little mixed names.  vSphere is the name of product and marketing.  The main components of vSphere are ESX(I) 4, vCenter4 and vSphere4 Client.

  The customer would use to unique your host ESX (i) independent management, while vCenter is a central point of management for 1 or more ESX (i) host.

• New installation Vsphere and vcenter

  This may seem pretty basic but I have not met this before and Vsphere threw me for a loop with the license change.

  I have a new installation, I train.  First question is ISCSI available with the license evaluation Mode?  It seems not so much me.

  If not then the second issue is the lack of customer is a new domain active directory.   Can I install vcenter not part of a domain, active directory and make all licenses from there?

  In my view, that the eval is fully functional. You must enable initiator iSCSI under storage adapters.

  vCenter didn't need to be a member of the domain, and also in vsphere there is no license server as with 3.5

• vSphere Essentials 5 and vCenter Essentials - cannot add host - vMotion

  I would like to know how to add a host to vCenter Essentials for vSphere essentials.

  We bought vSphere Essentials and Essentials vCenter to improve our existing for Vsphere 4.1 Essentials environment.  Everything went well with the update on the host computer.  vSphere and vCenter allocated through the vSphere client license keys.  We installed vCenter and web client on a 2008 Server VM on the esxi host. The host has a number of existing virtual machines.  When attempting to add a host after have created the data center must be of VMotion.

  Must the esxi host be empty when adding to vCenter essential?

  Thank you.

  It sounds like you administering hosts in the mode of assessment so far and I tried some of the Enterprise Plus features! The Essentials Kit includes not vMotion (only Essentials more done) then you should remove the port vMotion group - if there is one - in the virtual network configuration to make the edition of Essentials-compatible host.

• Open connections of hosts and vCenter Server Appliance

  We have number of ESXi hosts configured in our environment with vCenter 5.1, far ssh is open to all in order to access all hosts via SSH. Although authenticating the users available but, even then, the issue raises so bound / restrict administrators IPs or subnet of the network for security reasons. Will be the same for vCenter Server Appliance.

  Also can we restriction of IP level for the Vmware Client users, good that now everyone can make the connection between vSphere and vCenter cleint. Please advice

  Hi friend

  Please see below the resources needed to achieve the same on ESXi

• Is it possible to run vSphere without vCenter

  My research group is not sure if we can get vSphere and vCenter and we wondered if it was possible to run just vSphere?

  Yes, it is possible to directly manage the ESXi host via vsphere client, but you won't be able to get the unique features and good of vCenter server like HA and DRS.

  So that means that if your host goes down, your runnning VM will not fail during the host.
