• How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?

  Hello everyone.

  Can someone help me with registration

  of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I

  certainly do not understand.

  My goal is to install and use ESXi

  4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for

  more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?

  Installation of its products

  gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few

  suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,

  I will be grateful.

  I'll write what I did:

  1. I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.

  2. I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.

  3. Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
     the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exe

  4. Installation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.

  5. I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.

  6. Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".

  7. I have
     Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
     the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
     find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
     "for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
     for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?

  8. I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
     I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
     Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
     Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?

  As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?

  To register the serial number in your ESX4i host

  Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)

  Tab Configuration

  Left side - features licensed

  Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key

  Paste your key

  Confirm all

  Your ESXi server is now fully licensed

  Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

• ESXi/VSphere Client for free?

  I downloaded and installed ESXi 5 on a server.

  Then, I downloaded the client VSphere corresponding 5 so that I could connect to the ESXi host and create a virtual machine.  I get the following warning message:

  Your evaluation license will expire in 60 days!

  The evaluation license expires, the ESXi host may stop to manage all the virtual machines in its inventory.  In order to manage these machines, you must obtain and assign a license to your ESXi host.

  ------

  I was under the impression that it was installing free so why I receive this notice of assessment?  I have download the client VSphere ESXi or bad?  Can't find anywhere to "activate" If the error disappears.  Is there another way to manage the server ESXi for free?

  Thanks in advance.

  Usinf the vSphere client will connect you home - under the configuration tab you will find as software licenses - it is here where you can add the key to the ESXi host - you will get a waring by saying you will lose some functionality - evaluation license is taken more while the free license has all the features of the licnses Enterprise Plus as a repeated 8 vCPUs vs 32 and Manager of the host with vCenter's ability.

• vSphere client on a machine Windows 10 - problems with mouse inside the VM consoles

  Aloha,

  
  

  I just upgraded to Windows Pro 10. I'm also using vSphere client 5.5.0 build 1618071.

  When the management of the virtual machine, everything is good and right with the world. But when I access

  a vm console - either by tab or open a stand-alone console window the mouse

  becomes very irregular on the desktop of the virtual machine. Movement is unpredictable. Right click

  on an icon, sometimes opens the correct pop-up menu. And when I get

  the menu, choose the desired action is almost impossible.

  
  

  Everyone knows this and has a solution?

• I need some help please (web Vsphere client connection problem with Vcenter)

  Dear professionals

  I can not connect to the server via the customer web vicenter.

  I have installed and configured the following successfully:

  -esxi5.5

  -Win 2008 server1 (installed on AD)

  -Server2 Win 2008 joined to the domain, then I installed on: sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

  as you can see in the attached photos, when I double click on the client vsphere of wen I should be able to log on to the server vcenter, but I couldn't do it.

  do not forget that I logged Win 2008 server2 as a domain administrator, then I installed sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

  the WebClient service is runningand I tried https://server.example.com:9443 / vsphere client.

  There are more than two things, I noticed:

  -When I turned the web customer service I got the certificate error (see photo).

  -When I typed nslookup in the domain controller I got the error message.  web vsphere client error is related to the DNS error in the domain controller?

  
  

  Please see the pictures attached.

  Please tell me what to do if you have any idea or what is the cause of this problem.

  Please let me know as soon as possible because I've stuck to that point where I can't connect to the via customer web vsphere vcenter.

  Best regards

  Please register these two servers to the DNS entry field. and make sure both servers firewall set OFF mode.  If the production environment please check the network connection by using the network firewall team.

• Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

  I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

  According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

  Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

  Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

  Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

  Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  ^_

  Micky

  Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

  Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

• Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

  Hello

  We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

  I have 2 problems:

  1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

  How can I fix?

  2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

  Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

  Thank you

  Haim defending

  This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

  Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

  scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
  

  Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

   VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"
  

• Problems with the VMware vSphere Client

  Hallo

  I have problems with the new Client VMware vSphere.

  Until I installed the new client on my system, I had the old VMware inferstructure 2.5 client to manage my esxi.

  I was then going to test esx 4 box of the anther and then installed the vsphere client.

  But!

  When I try to connect my old esxi 3.5 or the new esx 4 I get the following error from the vsphere client:

  "Analysis of the server"192.168.2.2"" clients.xml"file error.

  Logon will continue, contact your system administrator.

  I then clik Ok and get this message:

  The initializer for type for 'VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.HttpWebRequestProxy' threw an exception.

  I tried to delete the old client and the new and then install the new, but still it dosent work.

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

  It will not work on windows 7, period.  You must run the VIC from a supported operating system

• problem connecting to the vSphere client

  Recently I found myself unable to connect to the Esxi host at the data center via vsphere client 5.5 by multiple computers (Windows 7). It shows:

  vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

  A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client may not send a request to the server. (La connexion sous-jacente a été fermée: une erreur inattendue s'est produite sur un envoi.))

  All virtual machines resume normal. And the result of telnet seems normal to port 902:

  VMware authentication daemon Version 1.10 220: required SSL, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC, VMXARGS taken in charge

  However, if I access http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 . He showed:

  VMware authentication daemon Version 1.10 220: required SSL, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC, VMXARGS taken in charge

  SSL: Unknown error SSL

  VMAuthdSocketRead: failed to read. The closure of socket for playback.

  SSH access has not been enabled, and I can't find any way to access the Esxi host.

  Anyone have any idea on the issue?

  You can try to restart on the host through DCUI management agents.

• VSphere Client console problem

  I'm currently running client Vsphere 4.0.  I have 3 virtual machines created and loading them with ISO images.  However, I have other software I need to install other software using setup.exe.  I not found on each map a drive to the virtual machine through the console.  Does anyone have any ideas how can I map a drive or a cut and paste.

  Help!

  Thank you

  You cannot do this using the vSphere client

  Must use the usual means, share the folder on the network, access it on VM and do the configuration

• 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.

• Cannot connect my vsphere client to manage my host... pls help!

  Thank you for reading... I'm new to esxi 5.1 and inherit a T110 Dell running a HD-250 GB for the OS (Esxi and Server 2008 r2) and 2-1 TB H.D for mirrow to SHARE DATA with the Microsoft software... (what a waste ah)

  everything was fine until about 2 weeks that I'm unable to connect to manage the server, it gives me the error:

  VSphere client could not connect to "IP address"

  A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client may not send a request to the server. (La connexion sous-jacente a été fermée: une erreur inattendue s'est produite sur un envoi.))

  If I point the browser to the IP Address of the host as: https://hostip (the page cannot be display)

  -Windows server is running

  -i can ping the Esxi

  Problem is that I have to update the memory and I'm afraid that after I have does not connect... and then I'm in big trouble... because I hand turned on inside the Esxi server.

  I did not backup, but the person in front of me was not do backups with veeam... instead they used a regular backup of windows on a USB software... I tried to create a re-usable collection and of course does not work... He was asking for a driver... I think it was for the hard drive... I free veeam now... but I can't connect it either... the box of Esxi.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion... Thanks in advance.

  You have access to the T110 Dell physical console?  Can you sign here?  If so, you could restart management agents:

• You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

  Hello

  I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

  It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

  There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  Nice day.

• VSphere client 5 cohabiting with VCenter 4.1

  Hi all.  I have an environment vSphere with VCenter Server 4.  I now have an ESXi 5 autonomous (free version, no VCenter) host that I need to set up a client.  I want to be able to do is to install and run the client VSphere 5 on the same workstation where the client VSphere 4.1 is now installed and running, but I don't want to interfere with my existing environment.  I have never tried to run two different versions of the VSphere client on a single machine.  I installed the v.5.0 customer but I don't know how to start.  When I run the client normally, he opens the client 4.1 original. I tried to do a little research in the forums and documentation, but I can't find anything that specifically addresses this problem.

  I guess that there is probably some kind of command line that I could use to do what I want. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  having multiple clients is perfectly acceptable and taken in charge.  Based on the environment connect you to the Launcher will 'launch' the correct client.

  Clients may seem alike, but when you log in your environment, you will see that they are build different levels (help - on VMware vSphere)

• Slow downloading of vSphere client host

  I just installed a new free host ESXi 4.1 U1 and when I connect to the web server to download the vSphere client it is terribly slow, about 1 MB/s.  I went down the list here http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1004109, everything seems fine.

  On a different host (a BladeCentre with 6 blades), we lack vCenter Server 4.1 and when I connect the vCenter Server to download the customer is 35 MB/s.  Download client by the hosts directly is slow.  For comparison, I connected to another performer 4.0 host and the client download is fast, about 35 MB/s

  So my question, is there a reason, I should get these slow when connecting to some hosts directly performance?  Client download thing is annoying but can be tolerated is one thing, but I am the time I'm having problems when I start to run vms on that host?

  IIRC from the ESXi 4.1 vSphere Client is no longer included in the installation of the host. When you click on the link on the web page of the host, the client will be downloaded from the Internet.
