• Confused.  5 of vSphere Essentials 'various assets '?

  Bought vSphere Essentials trying to get the work of Vcenter Server Appliance virtual vmware.  When you try to license key returns the message that says "the license key belongs to a product that is intended for a different type of asset.

  Yet when I have the decoding, it says "VMware vSphere Essentials 5 (unlimited cores per processor).   To which I replied "uh..." Yes?... and...? "

  What is going on?  Thank you.

  It runs vCenter but with a different license. With Essentials (more), you get 2 licenses:

  -> 5 vsphere Essentials (more) operating licence (3 guests) on the host

  -> vCenter Server Foundation (host 3) license for the vCenter Server

  So, get hold of the other licence and you will see that it works.

• VMWare vSphere Essentials Plus Kit

  My apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong place - I'm going round and round, trying to find answers and appropriate to place.

  I have reflected on vSphere Essentials Plus Kit for 3 guests and just have a few questions.

  (1) the limitation specified 2 CPUs.  Does mean physical cores?  For example, I currently have a small number of virtual machines running on a HP DL360 G5 which has processor Xeon.  ESXi is reported as 2, but 8 cores.  So in this example VMWare will consider this 2 CPU or 8 CPU? (I realize that this material is not compatible with vSphere V5, but I'd be curious to understand the principle of limitation)

  (2) is in any way to migrate to ESXi 4.1 vSphere Essentials Plus Kit (which I suppose is 5.1?) because it would take me a hardware and software upgrade.  Or am I better implementation of a new system and use something like vCenter Converter to move virtual machines?

  (3) is there such a thing as a vSphere Essentials Plus Kit evaluation?  If this is not the case, how can I do for my test environment.  I don't want to invest in a new hardware/software, if for some reason any that does not work for me

  I'm looking to move to ESXi for reasons of redundancy and reslience.  I have only 1 ESXi box run currently with about 6 VM I'm not a major user and I think that more Kit Essentials fits the Bill on all the rest.

  Thanks in advance for your comments and advice.

• Migrate vSphere Essentials of ESXi (free)

  I am running 2 physical hosts:

  -ESXi 4 (simple quad-core CPU)

  -Esxi 3.5 (double dual-core CPU)

  with a handful of virtual machines on each physical host. Each physical host is currently using DAS but I hope possibly migrate storage iSCS and possibly add another ESXi server at any given time.

  I want to take advantage of management features provided by vSphere Essentials (maybe more) but am a little unclear on what is actually needed for upgrade (?) to the essentials and what the structure of the network that results might look like at that time here. I upgraded on the spot or what I provide another physical host with the essentials for operational things?

  Any info is greatly appreciated.

  Well nothing use the vSphere license and upgrade the license for the "free" version  That's it, it's now a licensed product.

  If its ESXi 3.5, you just need the CD to ESX 4.0, run the installation, preserve the VMFS datastore, follow the prompts, restart is.  That's all.

• VSphere Essentials Plus Kit vs Standard

  All the

  I need help to make a decision here.  The environment is both physical server (2 CPU each) and they run out of a small local SAN.  I was going to get Essentials more but the problem is that it is around $ 5500 per server physical and that is almost as expensive as the server.  I'm looking for alternatives and I fell on VSphere Standard edition.  Although Essentials Plus has all the Bell and whistle I am looking for, but we can live with HA and vMotion.  The truth is that I can live with 15 minutes of downtime, I just need to know if I should get VSphere Standard edition or even Essentials that I have the opportunity to make a VM if I experience hardware failure?  Thank you in advance.

  Welcome to the community,

  vSphere Essentials Plus Kit comes with a license for an instance of vCenter Server Essentials and 6 CPU license for up to 3 guests with up to 2 processors each. No need to buy a Kit by server.

• VSphere Essentials Bundle renewed client - cannot find license key 5.1

  Hello

  At MyVMware, I can see our own business license keys and also my costomer license keys. How ever I can not understand how to 'Add' or 'upgrade' or 'renew' or what do I purchaced license to find 5.1 vSphere license keys to my client. Can I get 4.1 only license keys there.

  Also in MyVMware super user of the client has bad emaild address - no e-mail at all such-domain.

  The licenses ordered (new) are:

  Subscription only for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle for 1 year	VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle for 3 guests (Max 2 processors per host) and 6 cores per processor	1	31 MAY 2012	19-SEP-2015
  Subscription only for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle for 1 year	VMware vSphere 5 Essentials for 1 processor	6	31 MAY 2012	19-SEP-2013
  Subscription only for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle for 1 year	VMware vCenter Server 5 Essentials for vSphere	1	31 MAY 2012	19-SEP-2013

  
  What can I do? VMware host the client complains that I need to provide the license key.

  Thank you

  Juha

  I would recommend you open a support case license with VMware (from the portal of my VMware) on behalf of your client and explain what you see now and how it is supposed to look like. Provide details regarding the purchase of renewals (no matter what email address on the order form of renewal might be important).

  From my experience, licenses support is extremely helpful and I am sure that they will be able to get it straightened up in no time.

• ESXi 5.1 & 5.0 - ordinal number for active Hyperthreaded Intel CPU Core

  OK, I think I asked this before, maybe, about 2 years ago but I don't remember what the answer was.

  So here's the question...

  In a host of CPU 2 where each CPU has 4 cores for a total of 8 cores BUT with technology HT (Hyperthreading) enabled, for a total of 16 cores, how can you determine what core HT is and what the ordinal position?

  I thought that the ordinal went like this...

  CPU 0:

  0 base = true core

  Base 1 = Core HT

  Base 2 = real basic

  Basic 3 = Core HT

  4 basic = true core

  5 core = Core HT

  6 basic = true core

  7 core = Core HT

  CPU 1:

  8 basic = true core

  9 core = Core HT

  Base 10 = true core

  11 core = Core HT

  12 basic = true core

  13 core = Core HT

  14 basic = true core

  15 core = Core HT

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hyperthreading and ESXi hosts

  A host that is enabled for hyperthreading should behave similarly to a host without hyperthreading. You may need to take into consideration certain factors if you enable hyperthreading, however.

  ESXi hosts manage time processor intelligently in order to ensure that the load is distributed smoothly on CPU cores in the system. Logical processors on the same core have consecutive numbers of CPU, so that CPU 0 and 1 are on the first core set, CPU 2 and 3 are on the kernel, second and so on. Virtual machines are preferentially on demand on two different cores rather than on the two logical processors on the same kernel.

  If there is no work for a logical processor, it is put in a stopped state, which releases its resources to enforcement and allows the virtual machine running on the other logical processor on the same kernel to use the resources of the full implementation of the core. VMware scheduler correctly represents for this downtime and the load of a virtual machine running with all the resources of a core more than a virtual machine running on a basis of one half. This approach to processor management ensures that the server does not violate standard ESXi resources allocation rules.

  Consider that your management needs before you enable the processor affinity on servers using hyperthreading. For example, if you link a virtual machine of high priority to the CPU 0 and one other high-priority CPU 1, two virtual machines virtual machine must share the same physical core. In this case, it may be impossible to respect requests for resources of these virtual machines. Ensure that all custom settings affinity of meaning for a hyperthreading system.

• vSphere essentials, upgrade only vcenter

  I currently bundle vsphere essentials which includes

  1 x vcenter (with a maximum of 3 guests)

  3 x esx servers

  I want to be able to add more hosts to vcenter.

  Question: Can I just put the vcenter server to the full version of vcenter?

  I have to purchase new licenses for esx, so? (ouch)

  Question: Can I just put the vcenter server to the full version of vcenter?

  No, the only possible upgraded with Essentials is Essentials Essentials over.

  I have to purchase new licenses for esx, so? (ouch)

  Yes, you will need to get vCenter Standard as well as the CPU (Standard, Advanced, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus) licenses for guests.

  VMware vSphere Essentials and VMware vSphere Essentials Plus

  If you have a VMware vSphere Essentials or VMware vSphere Essentials Plus license, the following additional license terms apply:

  VMware VMware vSphere Essentials licenses or VMware vSphere Essentials Plus editions (collectively, "editions") you only to manage the server up to three 3 hosts and your use of these editions is limited to servers with up to two processors. For these editions, the host server must be managed by the VMware vCenter Server that is provided with these editions and this same VMware vCenter Server cannot be used to manage other hosts from server not included with these editions

• Questions about the upgrade to vSphere Essentials

  My group is looking to upgrade our ESXi (free) installation to vSphere Essentials. Before do us, I have a few questions (I tried calling & commercial VMWare email, but no one seems to be there):

  1. We have an existing ESXi to install, and we'll add a 2nd machine to host VMs can I use vCenter (from Essentials) to manage two computers?

  2. Requirements for vCenter status she has 2 CPUs, 4 GB of memory and 3 GB of disk space for up to 50 guests. However, we have 2 guests and we add a 3rd host is far in the future (in years). Can we run vCenter on an existing installation of windows server 2003? We have a server that meets these requirements, but it also makes other tasks (some calculations, files and backup service). Given these lighter constraints, will that be enough to manage our two hosts?

  Memory is a problem I think. But my vCenter with 9 guests and 150 VM a average 2-5% CPU load with 1 quad Xeon, so don't worry is not the CPU.

  Local Oracle DB installed on the machine of vCenter.

• Question about CPU cores

  I've had computers since the 98 so I'm not a beginner, but I'm also no computer genius.

  I got this new laptop in 2013. So far I have had a few problems with it, but since I also have a desktop computer (works in 32 bit Vista), I could get things to normal by doing some research on google. Nothing major since the last time I restored it to the plant that was in June of this year.

  Anyway, recently I came "Open Hardware Monitor" mainly to check the temperature, and I noticed it says that there are only 2 CPU cores. I find it weird because I thought it was supposed to be a Quad-Core.

  I was wondering how I can go on double check that and let the other 2 cores? Who would even wise to do?

  I don't really like for all the eye-candy as much as I want my machine to be fast and allow multitasking. I also plan to upgrade the RAM at the present time it is still running factory - I think that 6 G, but I would like to upgrade to the best and the best as well.

  I have a Samsung's Ext to 5 t hard drive soon and I want to just make sure that my mess is as soon as possible within reasonable limits of course. I try not to fry or something. I want it to run at maximum performance.

  In any case, I appreciate any help or advice I can get. Thank you for your time. Amanda

  Just uncheck it. The default is to allow all processors to run. Somehow your system has limited the number of operational cores to 2. Uncheck and reboot and recheck the Task Manager

  The task manager has two graphics and I can change to/from the "one graph per cpu and one graph, all CPUs" in the options display, although that I thought she should have 4 graphics; which is logical that the CPU has 4 wires, so should have 4 graphics.

  Any ideas? I tried msconfig and reset the number of processors, but then it resets the memory to 2 GB so I have to reset that and restart it to recognize all the 6 GB of ram. but then my cpu is a nucleus! It seems that I have a dual core cpu and 2 GB of RAM or a simple core cpu and 6 GB ram! ATM I'm on a single processor core with 6 GB of ram. I think the only thing I can do is reset the cpu in msconfig and reboot and see if it works, but then it will set the RAM to 2 GB. I 'afraid' to uncheck the CPU and RAM at the same time, incase of my laptop computer won't load at all. What do you think?

  It is not too much a problem; If I had only 2/3 GB of RAM, then it would be a problem, would be just nice to have my CPU dual core of return!

  As always, I would be really grateful for any help with it.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

• Newbie question: ESXi 6.0 free vs vSphere Essentials Kit

  I currently have a server host running ESXi 5.5 (free version), accommodation mainly a lab with SQL servers and workstations Windows infrastructure.

  I plan to upgrade the vSphere Essentials Kit and I was wondering what are the additional benefits I would get paid Kit essentials ESXi free 6.0 vs.

  So far, I can think of the following:

  -Possibility to install on two additional host servers (however I don't really have this requirement for the moment)

  -Compatibility with VMWare as ALTARO and VEEAM backup software. (This would be beneficial)

  What are the other benefits Essentials Kit would offer a server environment unique host which would be sufficiently attractive to force one to go compared to the free version?

  Thank you for any comments.

  ArnieC

  Another great advantage will be the Server vCenter which adds lots of features and will help you manage all three hosts. Have a look here some of the additional benefits: http://www.vladan.fr/esxi-free-vs-paid/

• The upgrade of free vSphere vSphere Essentials Plus

  Can someone point me in the direction of the vSphere upgrade free to vSphere Essentials Plus? I'm relatively new to vSphere in the installation process.

  Yes, same procedure, but note that you will have a license key for version 4.x. If you have the license key for version 5.x and the host is version 4.x, you must upgrade your host to version 5.x or downgrade your license for version 4.x.

• VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

  Hello

  TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

  We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

  We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

  However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

  Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

  Kind regards

  Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.
