Hello all,
Please forgive me if this question seems silly, as I'm new to server/VM management and having to learn on the fly. I am running into an issue with assigning a license to one of our ESXi hosts. The license is applied on a host that has a total of 28 CPUs, and it's got VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus. We have another host that has 16 CPUs, and yet when I try to apply the same license I get an error message:
"This host has more CPU resources than the provided license is valid for, please provide a different license."
Am I missing something here?
For a bit of context, I've set up our corporate VM infrastructure for backup and replication via Veeam. However, two of our backup jobs were failing stating "Current vSphere license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation." Upon investigating, the license on the hosts (set up by me after moving into our new office) was not the VMware vSphere 6 Enterprise Plus version on our other hosts. When I pulled the key I needed, I was able to apply it to one of our hosts, run the backup and it was completed successfully. When I tried to apply it to our other host, it's giving the error about the CPU resources, even though it has less than our host with 28 CPUs. I'd greatly appreciate any insight or assistance into this problem. Thanks!
