VDR 2.0 for vSphere 4.1 - Management and Licensing

[phykell]

Hi,

Can anyone shed some light on the licensing for VDR 2.0? I've got VMware Essentials Plus which gives me VDR but am I licensed to deploy the 2.0 version which appears under vSphere 5.0?

Also, if I want to use VDR 2.0, do I have to use a new plugin and will that work OK on my 4.1 vSphere client?

Thanks

Unfortunately, our support contract recently expired and no funds were released to renew it.

Is there any other way I can get access to vDR 2.0?

Just installed VDR2.0 on ESX4.1 successful. Just needed to uninstall 1.2 en run the 2.0 version.

Our throughput doubled now from 10-12MB/Sec with VDR1.2 to 25MB/Sec with VDR2.0 to our DataDomain.

Maybe anyone know some tweaks for further improvement?

Her er hvad jeg fik ud af at teste VDR imod vores vmware software versioner.

Som du kan se så kan man fint bruge VDR 2.0 så længe man mindst har ESXi og vCenter 4.1 U1
