VSphere license and view question

• vSphere license and ESX 3.5 servers battery

  Guys,

  I have a client who is not ready to upgrade to vSphere but must add another server to the farm of ESX 3.5. We told by VMware that they must purchase a license vSphere and then downgrade to 3.5. Then add the server to the farm.

  Does anyone do this? Exactly how would that work? What is the best/better way to do it?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Yes, they can spend to return vSphere licenses. As we have already mentioned, technically, you can continue to use these two licenses, doubling the number of servers, but it is against the license agreement. You can use vSphere license or license of 3.5, but not both at the same time.

• Adobe Color Kuler aka download and view questions

  Ive been trying to use the new adobe color and I am find that once I found a palette I like, I try to download it and when I try to see, the file type is not supported in all applications CC I including photoshop, Illustrator and after effects does anyone know to use once their downloaded or least how to display so that they can be used?

  @

  You don't need to download the ase of color.adobe.com to see in photoshop / Illustrator / After Effects / InDesign / Flash.   These products are "Color Themes" Panel to

  Windows > Extensions > Adobe color themes

  or

  Simply preferred a theme on color.adobe.com and it will show up under this Panel.  From here you can directly use in your creations.

• vSphere Licensing

  I am a student doing a project where I need to develop a virtual infrastructure. I chose VMware since I am more familiar with their products.

  The project includes two sites and a total of 15 people. In the beginning, I chose the vSphere Essentials Plus kit. I have 2 servers on the main site and 1 to the other site. I was going to buy an additional vCenter of license and 2 licenses SRM server. Basically, with the configuration of the infrastructure with the ability to replication on the other site and raise all reviews virtual machines on the server in the other site as a form of DR. The more research I do, the more I see how it is not extensible in the future. I also wonder if it is still possible given the licensing restrictions.

  I did research on vSphere standard edition because I believe that it is probably a better option. I have a few questions about how the licenses work as this edition has more factors involved.

  From my research, this is what I have gathered.

  vSphere Standard edition with basic support is $1715.72 - is that physical price by UC?

  I would also like, more than one instance of vCenter (1 for each site). Do I need to purchase a license additional vCenter, or y at - it a pack containing 2 licenses?

  In addition, in order to have the capacity to DR, would need RS. Do I need 2 licenses of MRS?

  Is anyway to get the price for all this? I was not able to find the price of the additional licenses.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  you need a single vSphere Standard/ORL/Ent + per socket/physical CPU license, Yes.

  About MRS. you should take a look at vSphere replication. It is included in all standard vSphere licenses and of better quality. Perhaps it meets your needs, as a SRM license for up to 75 VMs would cost about $7000, I think.

  As you said you are a student, you're doing this project for a University? You may get lower prices then.

  I would contact the commercial service of VMware for the best info:

• vSphere license office with view or other desktop virtualization platform

  I remember in earlier versions, you could buy VMware View and get the free hypervisor/vCenter on the purchase of VMware View.  Is someone can confirm if I remember well on older versions, and while it is still true in View 5.1.1?

  Also, I think you could buy vSphere Office using one per usage fees (I thought it was 10 blocks) and get the hypervisor and vCenter, even if you use a different desktop virtualization platform.  Can anyone confirm if this is still available - and where can I get more information?

  Thank you!

  This document should give you what you need.  The document says 5.0, but AFAIK, it applies to the 5.1 too.

• vSphere 5, vCSA, View Manager and Secure Gateway

  Hello world

  I need some advice...

  
  

  A new vSphere infrastructure situation 5:

  3 HP Proliant server, each connected via iSCSI to external storage
  VMware vSphere Essentials Plus Kit 5 (used for the server VM) main virtualization infrastructure
  VMware View 5 first add-on for virtualizing a desktop machine
  approx. 20 VM server
  approx. 10 desktop VM
  My questions:
  for the vCenter, I thought to use vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) which can be used up to 5 host and VM 50,
  but for the View Manager manage the office machine, what should I use?
  There is also a View Manager device?
  Or I need to install it on a separate Windows 2008 Server?
  Need to be a member of the Windows domain?
  And for the VMware Secure Gateway ?
  There is a device or must be installed on a separate Windows 2008 Server?
  When he used the vCSA, you must have a domain on the network controller?
  Thanks for your reply guys

  No.... the vCenter and view managed use 'ADAM' which is AD in user mode and is not compatible with an AD domain controller.

  You need at least 3 Server Wiindows (DC 1 AD + DNS + DHCP, 1 vCenter + music, 1 View Manager)

I did, it took a picture off my amount allocated, but I did not download.

  If you check your history of license, you will see the images that you have acquired a license.

  I added a credit to your account in order to replace the image duplicated under license by mistake.

• Question [about license and the use of a font]

  I am a representative of a company involved in the production of educational material. We are currently doing books, videos, Web sites and mobile applications.  We have a few questions and a quick response will be a great help for us. 1. If we agree with Adobe CC, can we use the bundled font Myriad Pro for commercial purposes specifically in the production of books, Web sites, mobile applications, videos and as well our company logo? 2. If in the case, we are not allowed to use Myriad Pro, can you please list the situations (or cases) in which we are not allowed to use this font. 3. is it possible to buy a license for situations that mention you in number 2? (We are strongly interested in using Myriad Pro, especially in the realization of the Web site) 4. we intend to use the Myriad Pro in the subtitles of our video clips, but our situation is that we will not make a separate file, but rather, let's do static image in the video. What is your policy (or the license details) for that?  Additional information: we will use Photoshop to our image and Adobe Premiere for our video work.   Thank you very much and a quick response would be greatly appreciated. (I've already sent an email to ) ( [email protected] , but they have yet to respond.)

• vSphere vMotion and 5 new license model

  Hi, I'm still not clear to the new vSphere license model 5.

  VRAM right how does not limit the guest computers?

  Let's say that if I buy essential more that supports 3 guests with 2 processors each and its right of vRAM is 32 GB for each processor (3 guests x 2 CPU x 32 = 192 GB MAX).

  It means that I have 192GO in the pool of vRAM?

  So I don't have that one host, I have 192GO for guests running on a single host?

  If the maximum is 32 GB for each host, which is produced in the following conditions?

  1 buy one essential plus

  2. create 2 ESXi hosts to make HA

  3. 5 guest computers run on an ESXi host, and their total of vRAM is almost 32 GB

  4. a guest computer is running on a different host ESXi and put the ESXi prompt second to the first vMotion ESXi.

  5 vMotion will be failed due to the vRAM on the ESXi frist limitaion?

  License is done on a base taken by CPU, which means that you must have a license by socket in each server that you license.

  Each instance of license also has a right to vRAM.  In the case of most, it's 32 GB/socket.

  The Essentials Plus kit includes 6 processor socket and vCenter licenses.

  If you have one host managed by this vCenter, the straight of vRAM (192GB) would be available for this single host, as vSphere Essentials 6 CPU socket licenses are grouped in vCenter, and that a single host to assign the right to the vRAM.

  Don't forget that the vRAM is simply the amount of memory assigned to the virtual machines, not the amount of memory you can install in a host.

  See the book of Pricing and packaging vSphere 5 for more details (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf) you can also double check everything with account team, VAR or Integrator of which you intend to purchase licenses.

  Now, if you have a cluster of high availability of vSphere, you won't want to use 100% of your memory on each host anyway, as you'll want to keep resources available for a failover situation and reserved.  For 3 guests, as example and no overcommitment of memory, you'll want to make sure that at least ~ 33% of your resources of memory are not used in the event of a host failure.  In the case of say, Essentials Plus, you will have 192 GB of vRAM available straight to your cluster and with a distributed evenly the workload, it would mean 64 GB of vRAM active on each host.  To compensate for HA, hosts resources would probably be sized at a minimum of 96 GB of RAM physical each (64 GB for the active virtual machines and 32 GB for memory of failover ability) or more, depending on the tolerance of the use.  That would mean 288 GB of RAM purchase physical for 3 guests, while only 192GB is licensed based on the right of vRAM.

  If you have only 2 hosts in your cluster, you always have access to the 192GB vRAM right of the kit of Essentials Plus.  Obviously, the numbers will work out differently.  You can use the 96 GB of vRAM on each host, but at this point, you can buy your hosts with at least 192 GB of physical RAM each to accommodate a failure of the host (again, assuming that no overcommitment of memory on the host).

  License in common based on a vCenter server to manage your licenses.

• Question of VSphere licenses (attributed more CPU than actually)

  Hello!

  I have three licenses of business (1 to 6 cores per processor) of vSphere 4 with different capacities. And I have a problem with both of them. In VCenter license page shows me that a license assigned to 6 CPU, but its actually attributed only to 4 CPUS (two ESX servers with two cpu's (4cores) of each). And another licensed showed as assigned to 16 CPU, but actually his attributed only to 14 CPU'. This license has a total 16 CPU capacity and that's why I can't add another a host ESX to my Infrastructure. And with last license, I have not any problemms. Why it might be so? Please help me if you know how to solve this problem.

  Try to remove ALL licenses and add them.

  If this does not work go to your portal vLicense on VM Ware, regenerate the NEW keys for your existing licenses and remove existing keys in vCenter, and then ADD the new that you generate.

  You can split a license and then join them that will make new keys.

  Otherwise, you must call the vmware support and ask people to licensing to help you.

• New 8 Core processors and vSphere Licensing

  Knowing that Standard and Enterprise support 6 cores per processor, Advanced, and Enterprise plusent support 12 cores per processor

  Scenario #3

  What happens if a company has a 5-node cluster, all cores quad double socket, a business license... And they want to add a 6th server that has 8 cores per processor, but they only need to use 6 of the 8 cores per processor, can they ask for this new processor 8 business licenses and use only 6 cores?

  Or maybe just vCenter has an error?

  No assumptions or opinions please.

  Responded to this in another thread, but not sure that you are watching

  June 15, 2010, VMware has released this statement: http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/multicore.html

  Watching your script you EF two per socket Standard/Enterprise licenses to cover the 8 cores. The article explains better.

• Creation of VM without vSphere Licensing

  I had a client with a good question that I couldn't explain.

  What prevents someone from just to buy a starter kit of the display (vSphere for desktops, vCenter, seats of the display) and use it to create instead of buy view vSphere vm licenses?

  What are the different options and create a virtual machine with a view to create a virtual machine with vSphere. I called technical support and he said that it was mainly the options to access this virtual computer. The customer said to have created the fine vms system and used lawsuits to opinion.

  Looking for an easy way to explain why this wouldn't work for clients. Thank you!

  The thing that stops the client is the EULA, its all just not allowed to use these vSphere for others, and then the Desktop OS licenses and supported infrastructure. They have done so in any case they would be in violation of the license agreement.

• VSphere Essentials supports view 5?

  VSphere Essentials supports view 5?

  I can't find anything on vSphere Essentials can stand the sight.

  It can support the view 5?

  View eating 5 works with any vSphere 4 or vSphere edition 5, including Enterprise Plus, Enterprise, Standard and Advanced.View Manager works with Essentials and Essentials Plus, but visitors may not exceed the restrictions on the number of hosts associated with these packages of vSphere. View Manager is running

  the vSphere VMware and not on other platforms of the hypervisor platform only. vShield Endpoint works with view 4.5 and 4.1 vSphere, but is not supported by older versions of view or vSphere.

• Change the 'label' on an active vSphere license?

  All,

  I have a lot of "combined" vSphere licenses groups in vCenter 4.1, I would change the descriptive label on some of the or the vSphere currently loaded in vCenter licenses.

  Cannot do through the UI, I have looked on the tables of database VPX_LIC_ * but don't see anything with the information on the label.  I could go through the center of the license and get the keys to the 'News', but I have to go through several cycles to combine/split to obtain the appropriate keys, too much work.

  Anyone know where this information is stored?  I expect it to be in the same table as VPX_LIC_LICENSES (which is where the license keys are) but no dice.

  Ben

  The label can be changed by going to the page of vSphere vSphere Client licenses, view by product, then developing the object to see its keys.

  Since the key line, click on the label and press F2 to edit the entry (or you can double click on it).

  I've edited all my labels to better describe what they manage (such as Group A, Group B, etc.).

  I was able to do this since vCenter 4.0, tested on 4.1 and it still works fine.
