I've been using his local cron-based backup script to facilitate weekly backups of my VMs and ESXi configuration to my NAS for well over a year now. He does provide excellent scripts and insight though.
Or if those updates were even forthcoming from vmware for their free license.Īlong those same lines, William Lam's appliances are all nested, which isn't applicable to what I'm talking about here. That's why I was asking if I needed to obtain an updated "free" license (different from trial) to access further 6.5 updates. I expected them to release an "Update 1" for my free license, but all they have is 6.5.0a. On vCenter Server management console, go to Menu > Administrator > Licensing > Licenses Click to + button to add new license. Typically I don't upgrade until at least "Update 1" is released. vCenter Server requires a separate license. No additional VMware ESXi licenses will be needed regardless of the number of virtual machines, amount of virtual memory (vRAM) or physical cores or RAM. My license is free, with no time-limit, but also no vCenter. Each physical CPU requires a license, so four vSphere with Operations Management 6.5 Enterprise Plus licenses are required. So a 60-day trial isn't going to work for me. I've been upgrading it since and am now running 6.0u2 on that same hardware. The box I built started out as 4.1 back in 2011. I'm an enthusiast running a free version of ESXi to house various VMs that are up 24x7 to provide services for my home network and locally hosted apps.
