Hi community,
We've got 2 ESX Servers with 4 DC Xeons each....
Is it possible to only activate 2 of them first?
We've got virtual center and 2 2 Socket Licenses...
Hope you can help me!
Thanks in advance!
with regards

As far as I know - no. Once registered in vc - the first host will use those licenses.
DB
You would need to remove the CPUs or disable them in the BIOS. Otherwise the 1st host to connect would use both 2 CPU licenses.
hmmm, isn't there another solution?
We would like to use the two other cpu as "hot spare"...
I'll try to disable them in the bios tomorrow...
If you got other ideas please tell me! ![]()
You could run all your vm's on one host and keep the other unlicensed but in Virtual Center as a Hot Spare. Of course this means no VMotion,HA,DRS etc...
