Hi, Divide is correct solution for your environment. After dividing and upgrade licenses on Customer connect webpage you have to implement new licenses in license managers on both servers. Finally you must assign newly generated licenses to hosts and delete old licenses keys. It shouldn't impact your production. 

Hi, Please look at message during license update (EULA). If you upgrade license you must delete old licenses and stop using one. I can recommend to ask VMware for 90-days evaluation license for vCenter 7.0 environment and apply your upgraded license to new vCenter 8.0.  

Hi, From vCenter inventory try below procedure: 1. Enter maitanance mode 2. Disconnect host 3. Connect host 5. Exit maitanance mode 6. go to cluser > monitor > security to see that now attestation has status "passed" 7. [Optionally] check in bios > security menu that TXT has also status "on"

Hi, I had similar problem in the past. Start to see log file: /var/log/vmware/applmgmt/update_microservice.log and check disks space on VCenter because it can be root cause for this problem (clean disks using procedure: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83070)      

Yes - you can do it using ESXi host web client. This will unlock API and more features. There is no impact on your running VMs during process - all VMs will still run.   Steps in process: 1. Login to host web UI 2. Choose Manage > Licensing 3. Choose assign license and enter new license 4. New license information appear shows you taht ESXi is licensed 5. Done

Hi, Please remember that after migration to vSphere 7.0 it is good to change VMFS on datastores (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2147824)  and VDSes to newer version (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-330A0689-574A-4589-9462-14CA03F3F2F4.html)

Hi, If you ordered Dell servers with licenses you should check Dell digital locker web portal. All keys should be there but you must take keys and register all in Customer connect web portal (There is guide in Dell Digital Locker). New servers hasn't implemented licenses so after power on you will have evaluation period for 60 days. If you ordered servers with default ESXi image you can use it but If you prefer to clean everything and install ESXi from begining please remember that it is good to use dedicated ESXi ISO.    

Hi, I suggest to build 2 DG with 3 HDD and add 1 cache SSD. In hybrid configuration SSD drives uses 70% of capacity for Read cache and 30% for Write cache. I can propose first option - 2 SSD with 500GB for cache. There is interesting article which explain DG: https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2019/04/18/vsan-disk-groups/
