The Users and Groups tab doesn't appear presumably because I'm connected through vCenter (ESXi 4.1). Can you:
a) authenticate via AD integration to an ESXi host directly through vCLI or vSphere client directly to the host?
We recently bought a new server that came with 2 600GB disks in a Raid 1 and 5 2TB disks in a raid 5. Initially this was going run Windows Server 2008 R2, however, it was decided to now run VMware vsphere 5. After I installed, I only see 1 datastore (the 2 600GB disks) in the vSphere client. Is it possible to add the other raid array as a datastore?
I am running two Windows 2008 Server on a VMware ESXi 5 Server (VMware vSphere 5 Essentials Kit). There are two different ESXi hosts within my VMware datacenter environment. Let us call them esxserver1 and esxserver2.
I want to convert a physical machine to a virtual machine using VMware vCenter Converter. According to the product page of VMware vCenter Converter I should be able to create a virtual machine for ESXi, however during the conversion wizard I can only choose various versions of Workstation, Fusion, Player and Server as target type, not ESXi?
My ESXi 5.0 update1 is a single server.
All my network environment are Giga-LAN equipments and NICs.
I want to backup all the files of every guest OS and ftp them to a NAS server.
My ESXi server's NIC is capable of running at 1000M bps speed and in VMware vSphere Client, it does show that that NIC is running at 1000M bps/sec.
My NAS server's NIC is also running at 1000M bps/sec.
However, I found
I have a ESXi 5 server with evalution license. When I tried to add the host in vcenter to my datacenter it's says that the license has expired.
The funny thing is that I can access the ESXi if I access directly with vsphere client. No compliant about license issue...
Upgrade/Migrate VMware ESX / ESXi 4.* To ESXi 5.0
VMware has recently released its new VM hypervisor product, VMware
ESXi 5.0. VMware is replacing its current ESX model with ESXi and the
biggest change (between ESX and ESXi) is the architecture, as most of
you VM gurus are well aware of, but for the people that don't know I
will quickly explain.

I'm using VMWare ESXi 5 and had a 2 TB RAID 5 setup on an HP DL360 with a P400i RAID card. I added two more 1 TB drives and using the SmartStart ACU, added the drives and expanded the logical disk.
Now after booting back to ESXi, the server boots, but lists no available persistent storage.
