hi,
i Can't create anew Vmachine on a new ESX 3 server, the option New Virtual Machine is grid out
please advise
Regards
Have you setup the licence for your new ESX server yet?
Configuration > licenced features
You either point to the licence server or use a local licence file.
hello,
actually, this is what i thought and i did checked it,
and its alright the license point to the license server
any idea guys?
regards
Virtual Center wont let you create a new VM if it does not have the resources for it. Please check your resources.

It could be a role/permissions problem. What roles/permissions do you have?
Check with roles/permissions, which account you used to log in? Use local administrator to log in, and you will be able to create new VM
Did you also check the ESX Server License Type as well?
Is the ESX host in Maintenance mode?
hi,
roles and permissions are fine.
the resource allocation is viewing all the CPUs and Memorys are in a 0 MB
also i can't see the option if the host in Maintenance mode or no
however, i can see the option in the other ESX servers
Regards
Right click on the host and see what menu is available - enter maintenance mode or exit maintenance mode.
hi and thanks for replying
when i right click on the menue i dont see either enter maintenance mode or exit maintenance mode, they are not in the list. this happened after rebooting the server.and the strange thing is i can see this option on my other esx2 server only now, i mean after installing a new esx3 server and added it to the other existing esx2 servers on vcenter2.
kind regards
Are there any errors on the console?
thanks guys,
its been resolved after rebooting the server twice
so thank you very much
actually,i got an error messege:
"The virtual machine is not supported on the target datastore"
when i try to power on a Vmachine after being migrated from esx2 to esx3 on a an upgraded datastore vmfs3
so if you got any idea.
kind regard.
