What GUI for ESXi 6.0?

Hi people,

After being absent from ESXi and this forum for a while (just using WS and Fusion ;-)) I come to ESXi now.)

Earlier I run ESXi 5.1, then lather 5.5 and managed by the vSphere Client (on Windows). Then rumors came vSphere client will not be sued.

And unfortunately, it doesn't support all the levels of hw. Remember to level 8. But in general the vSphere client worked for my needs.

Now 6 ESXi is out and it is once again what GUI to use for administration. Know, I don't want to run large vmware closed with a couple of ESXi servers.

Only, I need exactly an ESXi server and want to manage through a graphical interface. I read about a new vSphere Client 6. But it supports all levels of hw, i.e.--11?

And what's on the customer web vSphere 6? I read, that I would need vcenter to run it. But I just got and they need a single ESXi server. Are there benefits by using the web client just to manage a single ESXi machine?

In a few words: what GUI would you recommend for my needs?

Thanks in adcance,

As now your options for managing ESXi 6.0 guests are limited to the vSphere Client (with the limitations you mentioned), connection of VMware Workstation, or the Client host integrated ESXi which however is not officially supported, and has also some limits with the free hypervisor (see description) edition.

Although not all features new Compatibility Modes (aka physical Versions) are supported by the vSphere Client, you can still handle most of the parameters of the virtual machine.

  • What is good for ESXi 3.5 Backup Solution?

    Hello guys,.

    I want to know what backup solution to use for ESXi 3.5. We have 5 host and now 5 virtual machines but we are planning to grow.

    Thank you

    You can use VCB for free, but it is "just backup, nothing more" and base command line.

    Veeam Backup offers features very good, but a bit expensive.

  • Free license for Esxi 6.0 Cisco custom ISO

    Dear all,

    Is it possible to get the free license for Esxi 6.0 custom cisco ISO? or what can I use standard 6.0 for Cisco 6.0installation custom Esxi Esxi free license key?

    I could find the free license only for Esxi 6.0 standard image customized Cisco.

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    Cisco and other hardware providers offer ESXi images customized to support their equipment. However, the customization is made by adding/replacement drivers and tools. The base is still the same original VMware image. There is no specific license provider.

  • Install the HBA drivers for ESXi hosts

    We currently have a plan to install a new system with our spare essentials vCenter license, Emulex HBA cards in the DELL gear that we will make our ESXi hosts.


    How to configure adapters HBAS in ESXi, can we recommend has someone already installed drivers Emulex HBA in an ESXi host?


    Defining the ESXi host should not be a problem, but it is just to install the drivers in ESXi I'm stumped.

    What version of ESXi, you install? Check the VMware HCL for IO devices and if you HBA is compatible, try to do a default install and maybe the ESXi will recognize and load the drivers without having to do any additional setup.

  • Best practices for ESXi system saves location

    Hi all

    What is the recommendation of VMWare for the storage location of the ESXi logs? Of course, if a VMFS path is not configured under software > advanced settings, then the papers will not be stored on a persistent storage. We have installed 5.5 ESXi hypervisor on a 16 GB USB, newspapers can be stored there?

    Thank you!

    You must configure partitions on the USB key, which is a bit complicated. One for ESXi and the other for logging. If the host has local storage (our not, that is why we are doing the extra work) it may be better to just write logs in the data store.

  • Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

    Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

    Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

    TinkerTry.com/rufus-takes-2-minutes-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-esxi-installation

    works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

    TinkerTry.com/download-vsphere-5-lab

    and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

    TinkerTry.com/rufus-lets-you-quickly-and-easily-reformat-an-esxi-usb-flash-drive-back-to-full-capacity

    Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

    Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

    Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

    Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

    Thoughts and opinions?

    Just a follow up on my comment about several injection of VIB in the ISO that you use as a file source for Rufus (a few months back, seen above):

  • Configuration of NIC for ESXi 4.1

    Happy to wander what others do for their NETWORK card for ESXi 4.1 configuration I want to use the following:

    pNIC0-> vSwitch0-> Portgroup0 (management)

    pNIC1-> vSwitch0-> Portgroup1 (VMotion)

    pNIC2-> vSwitch1-> Portgroup2 (the VM network)

    pNIC3-> vSwitch1-> Portgroup2 (the VM network)

    pNIC4-> vSwitch2-> Portgroup3 (DMZ network)

    pNIC5-> vSwitch2-> Portgroup3 (DMZ network)

    I don't have that much wandering DMZ traffic so if I should use one of the DMZ NIC for VMotion or management.

    Mike

    According to me, it looks good, you have redundancy built in.  The only thing that we do, and maybe you do the same thing is on our vSwitch0 active/standby network interface cards to each other.  The other vSwitches are set to active/active.

  • Help Setup RAID SATA for ESXi 4.1

    Hello

    It is the first time that you try to use vmware.  Any help is greatly appreciate!

    I just built a server around the Intel s5500hcvr mother. I have 6 SATA HDD I want to set up in a RAID. The integrated RAID controller seems to be very limited and does not seem to be supported by ESXi 4.1 (when I run ESXi 4.1 installation and it asks for a location for installation, all my discs are individually listed instead of virtual drives that I created with the RAID controller)

    My questions:

    (1) what is the suggested configuration of HDD (RAID levels / number of berries) for ESXi 4.1?  Can I create 1 RAID 10 array and set everything up to that?  or take one of my disks and install esxi 4.1 on it and then create a RAID with the rest of my discs and use it to store data?

    (2) anyone can provide links to some SATA RAID controllers that are known to work with ESXi 4.1 (and is the supposed to recognize virtual readers created by the RAID controller setup ESXi 4.1)

    Your motherboard has a RAID controller software which, as you have discovered, is completely not taken in charge by ESX/ESXi... You will need to get a RAID controller that is on the HCL for SAS and SATA hard drives (not one with battery backup write cache) so you can use any type of RAID configuration.

    My preference for Internal RAID configurations (on the host) are two drives mirrored for ESX/ESXi to reside (preferably being SAS 10 k or 15 k RPM, 73 GB or 146 GB in size) and then another table for the data store. You'll want to keep the data slot store table 2 TB-512 b size in order to present to ESX/ESXi as a LUN. Or you will need to get a RAID card this split of the support to the top of the table in the smaller of the virtual drives that can be presented for ESX/ESXi and LUNS.

    Search for controllers using the LSI MegaRAID chip as a good first lap. Some Adaptec cards should work, but I've seen people post questions on those recent (more recent than in the past). MANY manufacturers rebrand/efficiency the LSI MegaRAID Controllers server, such as the Dell PERC 6 series cards.

    For the use of 4 disks SATA, RAID 10 (on a BBWC, fully supported, controller) will give you the best performance. It will compare with SAS drives however. IF you do not plan on any virtual machine running with anything beyond light IOPS / s then you should be ok (or with very light loads)... If this is going to be a production server, then get the SAS drives all around.

  • Custom partition sizes and memory system for ESXi 4.1

    With ESX 4.0, I would customize my partitions during the installation (see below). With ESXi 4.1 GUI there is no option to customize the scores.

    Now is the best practice to take default values? If not, what are the ESXi 4.1 recommended sizes of partition and how do you custtomize them?

    What memory system. In the past, I would rise to 800MB (1/2 of the swap partition). ESXi 4.1 design requires no it more? I can't change that vcenter as I could before.

    Who wish to understand best practice in this version build information.

    root (/) 5120

    swap 1600

    var 4096

    Home 2048

    opt 2048

    tmp 2048

    You cannot change the size of the partition. If this is embedded (installed to USB) then ESXi will use total 1 GB. In the case of installation (installation on a hard drive) ESXi will use 1 GB and create a separate partition from scratch 4 GB.

    What are the minimum hardware requirements for ESXi 4 requirements?

    I can test it on a P4 / 1 GB RAM workstation with 20 GB hard drive and add a NAS 1 TB as a data store?

    The basic material may or may not support ESXi. The components shipped as disk controllers and network adapters are often problems for installation.
