If I have two hosts. I want to replicate each to their own matching on-site host. So four total hosts - two being standby clones. I had hoped that a VMware vSphere Essentials Plus Kit would be enough since I didn't think of my "standby" hosts being counted as an actual host. Wishful thinking I guess. What is the best licensing setup I need if I'm starting from scratch? Should I discard my standby hosts, go with VMware vSphere Essentials Plus Kit and consider a cloud-based disaster-recovery solution? Thanks for any input!

Just fell into this hole too - on 7.0u3c. Did a P2V move of my old SCO OpenServer 6 and now have this silly memory limitation. Looks like they figured that OpenServer 6 has the same memory limitation as OpenServer 5 whereas 6 will support 64GB. Has to be a way to edit this limit somehow?

To answer my own question, the issue starts with the fact that my VMware image is loaded to an internal USB based solid state drive. Assigning all my USB controllers to directpath meant that the USB controller associated with the VMware image became inaccessible for any write backs thus my attempts to reverse the directpath config was futile as the changes were not being saved. A reload of VMWare was required and allowed me to test exactly how the 6 VMware USB device names matched up to physical USB ports. Not surprisingly, after figuring this out I now see google posts of others falling into this exact hole. -mick

Hi - I've seen this type of question asked before but I'm damned if I can figure things out from things that have been posted. I'm using a Dell R710 server with ESXi 5.0 I added 6 USB Controllers to my hosts DirectPath I/O Configuration and now I want to remove them. None are assigned to any virtual machine. I edit the directpath devices and uncheck all of them, I get them marked with the red arrow with notes saying that I need a reboot to complete the changes. At this point my /etc/vmware/esx.conf file has been updated to reflect the removal of the devices (all references to the controllers are gone) yet on a reboot they are all back enabled in my DirectPath I/O Configuration and the esx.conf file. This seems it should be so simple - what am I missing? -mick
