Esxi 6.5 Free License

[Janie Mccorey]

Everythingis working great on it. However, we use barracuda backup and was told by a colleague that barracuda no longer supports restores of esxi host under 6.0. For that reason I am trying to put a plan together to move these VMs to a newer ESXI host.

So I got a bit more information. At another location there 3 other hosts that make a vmware cluster. It is running vcenter 5.1. Inside them are dozens of VMs and are connected to a SAN storage device. The Vms inside them belong to the organization that has the other host that I talked about in my OP and then it has VMs from other organizations as well.

@jadrien : Thanks for giving those tips. They seem right to the point and just what I needed to hear. I work with a team and they are the ones who setup the cluster and previous hosts so I will have to bring this info back to them and see what they want to do.

Since it is a single host, I am not sure you need vCenter at all. Anyway, the cluster is straightforward, so it would be best to perform a fresh new installation instead of upgrading. Move the virtual machines over after installation and the initial configuration of the new host is complete.

Did not know about that website but I will check it out. hmm I can make a new 6.5 host and then copy the VM from the esxi 5.1 host? Wont they have some sort of compatibility issues that way? Yes I am thinking upgrading the memory would be important.

No, ESXi is backward compatible. Any virtual machines migrated from an older hypervisor version and having an older virtual hardware version will work on top of a new ESXi hypervisor, but not vice-versa.

I am trying to get the logs from ESXi hosts to Splunk without using the vmware app. There is no intermediate syslog server on which I can install the forwarder. So I had tried to configure the logs forwarding via esxi hosts advance settings option where we I had provided the IP address of my Splunk server and port tcp1514. Somehow I am still not receiving the logs.

Any suggestion how to get the logs? :VMwareESXSyslog ...gone through this link and did the same like mentioned before under advance configuration setting of esxi hosts. Any other approach or what mistake i am doing?

We need to migrate an existing FWB-VM from ESXi 6.5 to7.0. Do you know if this hypervisor version is supported? At -private-cloud/latest/fortiweb-vm-on-vmware-esxi/670068/s... it seems that FWB-VM supports up to 6.7.
