• Max vm on vSphere Standard license

  Hi @ all,

  How vm´s can work on vSphere Standard Edition. Someone told me that I can run only 4 virtual machines with this license.

  Now I ve 5 vm´s running on my ESX Server Standard edition and how it works. do I have a problem of license with more than 4 vm´s on vSphere Standard?

  Is this true?

  I guess the 4 limited VM was linked with Microsoft licensing. With a Windows Server 2003 R2 (or higher) Enterprise license, you can run up to 4 virtual Windows Server instances on a single host.

• Better route to abandon more Essentials to vSphere Standard?

  I currently have three licenses for the kit of Essentials more than 5.5 vSphere

  To add storage vMotion, I'll have to move to vSphere Standard.

  I understand that the vCenter Server of the essential kit differs from vCenter Server Standard, so in order to pass all my existing to vSphere Standard environment, I'll have to buy vCenter Server Standard and 18 processors for vSphere Standard licenses.

  Is there a way to upgrade for the transition to vCenter Server Standard or are customers essentially forced to start from scratch?

  If there is a way to upgrade, price different from zero?

  There was a post in early February on the displacement of most of the standard, but in this particular case, the organization already had vCenter Server Standard, so all that was needed was the CPU licenses.

  > The essential kit more allows you to use vMotion, but not Storage vMotion, so I can move my vm between hosts to you, but cannot move them between data warehouses.

  Yes and no. The Essentials most Kit includes no storage vMotion, but you can use "Change of host and data store" live migrate VM to other data warehouses. This is possible since vSphere 5.1 (see vMotion bug corrected in vCenter server 5.1.0a)

• Essentials for vSphere Standard - correct license?

  We are running 3 x machines hosts vsphere 4.1 essentials connected to a server vCenter (not the essentials vcenter server) running standard. We know that if we improve these host machines we cannot be handled by our server vCenter (v5.5) due to a change of license and it is like not possible.

  
  After the execution of these 3 guests with Essentials, we now seek to introduce environmental vmotion and storage vmotion. Can you confirm for me that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses?

  It doesn't seem to be an upgrade from Essentials to vSphere standard. Team VMware licenses have already recommended to talk to our partners and after that they recommend to purchase:

  VMware vSphere with operations management [Corporate - upgrading: VMware vSphere 5 Essentials to vSphere Operations Manag Std Acceleration Kit of 6 processors]

  It is also much more expensive and much more than necessary.  I believe that it is unnecessary to go this route because it is much more expensive than buying the vSphere licensing standards.

  Can anyone confirm that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses in order to manage them with vCenter Server Standard to enable vmotion between these hosts?

  I understand that acceleration kits are grouped to be more profitable, but because you already have a license of vcenter standard you are right, you will need the correct number of vSphere ESXi licenses which is sold per CPU - so if your three hosts are dual cpu you will need 6 licenses

• Uppgrade free vSphere to vSphere Standard

  Hello

  So uppgrade vSphere vSphere license open source to vSphere standard, do I need to enter the new license key only or there is not another?

  Any KB for this positve step?

  Simply enter the license key to unlock new features. There is no need to re - install the ESXi host or install anything else.

  But be aware that as a sine qua non to use many features you must have a vCenter Server.

• MPIO, ALUA and Vsphere Standard Edition

  I'm having a hard time to give a sense of the differences in features between Vsphere standard Edition and enterprise Edition when it comes to storage.   In the comparison of the features he says that this standard does not support third-party plugins or MPIO.  But I know that at least, it supports MPIO basis because I have it running on one of my sites with ISCSI.    So I'm I wondered what exactly it does not support and more particularly wonder about MPIO on SAN FC who wants me to activate ALUA.

  Take a look at VMware KB: frequently asked Questions for the vStorage API for integration of the table that describes the functions available with VAAI.

  ALUA and the MPIO built-in will work regardless of the edition, you can simply use 3rd party software.

• vSphere Standard switch - how does the failover

  Hello

  I have a theory for you question VMware guru.  I have four ports on my ESXi host and I want to assure you that in the case of a link failure, network traffic gets moved to another link.  Currently, I have all four adapters marked as Active to balance traffic between the four ports to load.  My question is, what is the point of having an auxiliary card?  In the case of a failure of the link, is it a switchport not active failover to another active port?  If an active port can switch to another active port, why would you want never to define an interface in sleep mode, rather than use it for balancing traffic?

  Thanks for any idea in advance!

  -ToTheCloud

  OK, so the auxiliary card would be useful if I only had 3 ports and two switches vSphere Standard.  At this time, when a port to one of these switches would fail, I'll be able to have the one of these switches switch to auxiliary card (since you cannot have an active adapter on both switches at the same time)?

  Correct - if you had two vSwitches, each with a NIC card Assistant could only be assigned to a vSwitch both.

  Also, just to clarify, if I do not have all four active cards on the same vSwitch, if a link goes down, traffic would failover to another active adapter if I didn't have a correct map specified, auxiliary?

  Yes.

• feature vMotion, vSphere Standard 4.0 and 4.1

  Dear forum,

  I would like to ask a simple question...

  A customer to lay mines on vMotion in vSphere Standard edition.

  How they get this vMotion functionality. They are currently serving vsphere 4.0 U1.

  They need to upgrade the engine first (4.0 U1 to 4.1)?

  Thank you...

  PS:

  vSphere 4.0 Standard, the vMotion feature edition is not available.

  Yes, your customer must migrate to version 4.1 for the vmotion feature

• Vsphere Standard installation 5

  Hi all

  First time install ESX 5, had a few questions.

  We bought a standard license for Vsphere 5, with a single processor. A second host is bought at a date of ter for redundancy.

  The host and the VM is to place the server in the DMz - will be a G7 BL460c Blade Server with a blade of SAS storage.

  Issues related to the:

  • I am ok to accept all the default values for the installtion? I myself remember in previous custom versions of Partition sizes have been recommended)
  • What is the ESXi I need to install? the installation will run discs in reverse BL460.
  • Should I VLAN for the management of the DMZ NIC nic? or it will not make a difference?
  • How VM is recommended to be hosted on a single ESX host with a single processor and 32 GB of memory? that works best or is memory-cpu my limatation?

  If there is anything else that you feel I need to know before you make the installtion on Wednesday, please do not hesitate to comment.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes the key will still work

  It is recommended to install the Important and critical fixes

  Normally it is all managed by MUV (VMware Update Manager),

  If you have just vCenter install VUM and do it there

  This looks like a single host with no vCenter deployment, so you can manually download patches here .

  Just look for ESXi 5 all Cat and Important.

  You can install the esxcli patches using vmroyaleguide. Click Guide

• In windows Server 2003 R2, standard edition, its CPU usage showing the use of 100%

• Mode of Intel not giving expected performance - vSPhere 5.5 - Intel CPU E5-2699

  Hello

  We have a few hosts Dell R730 with 2xE5-2699 CPU in them. Basic frequency is 2.3 Ghz and Max Turbo 3.6 according to the specifications.

  Intel's mode is activated and we are running 1 VM on those hosts with 4vCPU, the virtual machine is configured as sensitive to high latency. When carrots are maxxing out on the virtual machine, we see Mhz max 11250 use which is 2812, 5 Mhz by heart, which is 2.8 Ghz. I expect to see 3.6 Ghz, because the host is only 1VM running with 4cores and the host is 18Cores (per CPU).

  Someone got experience with this CPU and turbo boost? Is there maybe some configurations we miss them?

  Concerning

  Jonas

  You can find these multiplier cpu-datasheet. Calculate you the frequency as for load of 2 strands:

  base_frequency_ [GHz] + (multiplier * bus_clock_ [GHz]) = 2.3 + (13 * 0.1) = 3.6 GHz

  For 1 or 2 basic load, the multiplier is 13 (that strain begins with support for 18 all the kernels, then 17, 16, 15, etc., up to simple core). In your case, VM has now 4 vCPU. It is expected to use multiplier 10 and get 3.3 GHz, but no! 5 multiplier is used. Why? Because of the feature called 'load thermal balancing': ESXi "turns" that 4vCPU the load on all pCPUs/pCores, so that all pCPUs/pCores are moderately loaded (so your multiplier 5 is used). Every modern operating system is present (even Windows). Otherwise, a part of CPU chip would be extremely hot, while other parts were cold.

  If you had installed Windows directly on the physical machine, you can stop using "processor affinity". You can probably do it in ESXi also, but I DON'T recommend it, unless you are ready to burn/wreck your Jepp. If only 2 of 18 pCores (on each pCPU) are 100% and remaining close to 0%, heat stress on carrots loaded and no charge limit is extremely high. This could really insist pCPU up leading to physical damage (even with very good cooling), if you run it any longer...

• Isolate the port on a vSphere standard switch traffic

  Hello

  I deploy an environment where I have a pool of 100 virtual machines that live on a switch standard vSphere isolated. The virtual machines to communicate with the rest of the world through a virtual double-NIC machine. This configuration does not work as expected, but I would go a little further and to isolate the connectivity network, such as each virtual machine can communicate with the system of double-NIC and not each other. The switch standard vSphere, the pool of 100 virtual machines are all located on the same VLAN and group ports. I spent some research time through documentation, but I did find a clean way to implement what I want. The best I can get to each of the virtual machines 100 puts their own VIRTUAL LAN, but it is ugly and will be difficult to maintain. Is there something easier that I missed?

  Thank you

  Steve

  PVLAN, but you will need the distributed virtual switch.

• Present the VLAN extra - vSphere Standard switch

  Hello everyone.

  I currently have two Exchange servers, both with NIC that sit on the same IP range. ('abc')

  I need to add the secondary NETWORK card to each server, but the need of the intellectual property of sit on one VLAN different than the existing boxes. ("xyz") (Redundancy is the goal here).

  How can I present the 'new' VLAN ("xyz") to our environment vSphere ESXi 5.0 so that it is an option when you add a standard switch, instead of only 'None (0)' or ' all (4095)?

  Thanks for the time.

  -Brandon

  First, network cards connected to your ESXi host, are in one vLAN specific or are they shared resources to allow several VLANS?

  If they are defined to a vLAN, they you have 2 choices.

  (1) add another 1-2 by ESXi host network cards and link them to the new vLAN.  Create a new portgroup to the new VLAN and add network cards to your VM (s) for this portgroup.

  (2) move your network team the TRUNK port settings and allow the two VLANS.  You then need to change your existing exchanges with the ID vLAN appropriate, including your management & storage trade.

  * These two options will probably require downtime, or migrate all virtual machines off the coast of the host to make the changes. **

  If your ports are currently configured TRUNK, then the network team comes to allow access to the new vlan and you must create a new portgroup for this new vlan.

  I hope this helps!
