I thought I had heard converter was no longer a supported product. When I look at the interoperability matrix. I do not see converter or the converter plugin being supported with vcenter or esxi 7.0 I am looking to P2V a SQL server into a vSphere 7.0 U2 environment Thanks

In an application that uses docker/kubernetes deployment guide states vMotion is not supported. Is this standard operating procedure in ESXI 6.7? Does the concern go away in vSphere 7.0 when containers run natively on the hypervisor? Thx

In vsphere 6.5 the maximum size of a vmfs volume is 64TB. I do not see a maximum for a datastore cluster size. Does this mean I could combine 512 (max fc luns per host) 64TB datastores into a datastore cluster? Thanks

I have a need to enable QOS on many different vCenter's and dVs's. I could do it on the dVs uplink or individual port groups. Either way its going to be different traffic rules that are going to be added & maintained. Can anyone think of a good reason to create the traffic rules on the uplink vs. port group(s)? Thanks

I have a separate 5.5 sso server that 4 vCenter's are registered too. I need to change only the IP of this standalone SSO server and not it's FQDN. Would I still need to re-point and re-register components in below kb? http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2033620 Thanks

With the new vMotion capabilities in vSphere 6 is it necessary to enable evc any longer? I have several 5.5 vCenter's that do not have evc enabled on their clusters. But I will upgrade them to vSphere 6 at some point. With long distant and cross vCenter vMotion enhancements in vSpehre 6. I am thinking I can stand up a newer cluster of intel broadwell (or beyond) and live migrate workload regardless of whether evc has been enabled on source of destination vSphere 6 clusters.... Thanks

I get the following error "insufficient resources to satisfy configured level for vsphere ha" when trying to power on a w2k8 32vCpu 130gb virtual machine. vCenter/esx 5.0 u1. Cluster consists of 16 hosts @ 4 socket 10 cores per socket and 260gb each. Admission control is enabled to tolerate 1 host failure. Average cpu usage for cluster is 11% and average mem usage is 24%. Why can I not power it on with above settings and usage on the hosts which is low? When I change admission control policy to "percentage of cluster resources reserved as failover spare capacity @ 25% cpu & 25% mem. I am then able to power on the virtual machine. Thanks

Hello Using vcenter 5.0 build 623373 and esxi 5.0 build 821926. I am getting many cpu alarms on windows 2k8 r2 OS's. But perf mon/task manager is consistently reporting normal or below average cpu utilization in the vm. These seem to be more frequent after a vmotion of a vm. Alarm definition is set to (condition is above) (warn at 75 for 5 min) (alert at 90 for 5 min) (frequency repeat every 5 min) Even after acknowledging and clearing the alarms they come right back. Thanks
