Windows 2003 Clustering on VMWare ESX 3.5

Hi all

I've searched around, and I can only find documents of vi30 on support for Windows 2003 Clustering Services on ESX.

We have a customer with a 3.5 update 4 environment and want to set up a cluster of printing for load balancing reasons. We want to do it using our ESX environment and configure the virtual servers on several nodes.

For the 30 version I read that his support, but you can not use HA or VMotion using Microsoft Clustering services. Now, I also found a few statements that VMotion and HA is supported after 3.5 Update 1, but I can't find any official statement on the matter.

Is there anyone around who can show me any real document on statements of current support for Microsoft 2003 Clustering Services?

Thank you very much!

The Document refers to ESX3.5 U2 or later version. And there is no ESX 3.5 U4.

  • Can I run a Windows 2003 on VMWare Server with a date system different from that of my current operating system?

    Hi guys,.

    I would like to know if I can install Windows 2003 server using VMWare and run it with a date different system than my current operating system? Is this possible? A quick response would be appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Akshay

    So I guess you are trying to run a virtual of Windows machine running at a date other than the ESX host and the rest of your network. Am I wrong?

    In this case:

    -Do not use VMware time. If you have installed VMware tools open properties of VMware tools on the Options, tab uncheck the option of time synchronization

    -From the services control panel access services 'Windows Time' and set it to disabled and do not forget to stop the service. The service name is W32Time, but its full name is 'Windows Time'

  • HP EVA4400 + ESX 3.5.0 + discs Windows 2003 Raw Device Mapping

    Hi all

    I'm testing a configuration to help:

    • HP EVA 4400

    • ESX 3.5

    • Blade HP c-class

    Verification of compatibility EVA4400 on-site HP Spock, I found this note in the section Notes General Guest OS (1): "(7) Raw Device Mapping is not supported on Windows 2003 Guest Operating System load."

    I would use snapshot EVA (BC) to a Windows 2003 Server (not R2) for backup.

    In the VMware HCL, I have not found confirmation of this note.

    1. does anyone know if the note concerned only W2K3 or same W2K3 R2?

    2. "is there anybody out there" who uses this configuration? EVA4400 is: + W2K3 in ESX 3.5 + RDM + instant. Any problem?

    Thank you very much

    Verify that the checksum MD5 or SHA1 of the file windows.iso in the working directory of VMware Workstation is as indicated below.

    For version windows.iso of VMware Tools file 9.2.2.894247:

    MD5 = 8d9a47fddf3988bb1fcb62bb21d3fa8f
    SHA1 = 6a55b0d276a3442589d6a4892fa8759e8ca42712
    

    These values have been generated, based on the extracted windows.iso file of Tools-windows - 9.2.2.exe.tar should be the same one included in the WS 9.0.1 installed.  Note: The checksum SHA256 for the file windows-tools - 9.2.2.exe.tar has been verified against its value published prior to extraction.

  • VMware ESX 4.0.0 in connection mit Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter (4cpu) - license

    Hallo zusammen!

    I have several questions zu obigem Sachverhalt und hope, dass mir von Euch helped werden kann.

    Wir haben einen host ESX (VMware ESX 4.0.0) den wir via vSphere von einem Windows Server aus, verwalten. Auf dem ESX host wollen wir nun start, die first VM (ins Leben zu find) zu installieren. ES sollen OS installed werden (. ser on W2K3 / W2K8 STD (R2), company / business,...).

    Wir haben also license so: 'Windows Datacenter 2008 R2 64 bit 4 CPU. After we die erste VM installed haben, wanted sharp wir mit dem Lizenzkey der Datacenter license aktivieren. Unfortunately works weder der 'Product Key', noch der 'Virtual Key'.

    WO ist mein Denkfehler? Wie die of ich lizenzsiere auf einem host ESX VM procedures meiner Datacenter license Windows-VM?

    Email ich einen KMS Server?

    Bitte um Hilfe - Danke und Grüße TIM

    Auf einem Windows-Server further

    Ich habe einen Server Hello understand before mit 4-Prozessoren (mit neuankömmlinge bis zu 6 carrots?) und eine MS Datacenter 2008R2 as 4 processors so.

    Wenn nun auf dem vShere Installierst werden die Datacenterlizenzen dem host "OS are" Host the kannst und so many different Windows Server verschiedener color installieren, wie die Maschine these.

    (Die dabei "freiwerdenden licenses können as physical system recycled werden...)

    Die Lizensierung participations eher als "Zuweisung" - stell dir vor, die of the DC licenses klebst an den Server und damit Maschine lizensiert ist die mit data center.

    The Add Installation Aktivierung paper - die Zuweisung hands oder keine.

    Bei einer Aktivierung eines W2K8 STD. servers add to the (ublicherweise) einen VLC (VolumeLizenzKey) der eine unlimitierte Aktivierung allows.

    Wenn nun keinen VLC As, so wende Dich an den suppliers der DatacenterLizenz oder direkt from MS. Mit den entsprechenden Lizenzpaieren und Kaufbelegen solltest VLC key bekommen die.

    VIELLEICHT kannst noch something konkreter werden, um welche Art DC license are all und wie bisher deine Server aktiviert Hat sich (OEM, VLC, detail mit Select vertrag, SystemBuilder...) - eine Systembuilderlizenz ACE falls.

    BTW. a hindert dich daran, every Server STD als eines virtual system einen Datacenter zu installieren? OB deine nun auch STD oder doch keine Rolle spielt so DC application.

    Wenn einen planned Server ACE, den draufklonst oder geckoos193, der dann neu aktiviert werden will ists auch kein problem.

    Einfach aktivieren und ggf. uber die Aktivierung go book.

Collecting newspapers to the officer before reproducing the exception more.

    Then, I would try with Converter 3.0.3
