Got a question for the group...
I am running a two node ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus with Vcenter Server 4.1 standard. All licensed. My two ESXi nodes show that HA and DRS are available as licensed options along with everything else for Enterprise Plus. I have created my cluster and joined my two nodes to the new cluster. For the life of me, I cant find the options to enable DRS and HA. I know I should be able to right click on the cluster and go to Edit Settings to enable HA and DRS. The cluster settings option is not present. I also can not see the DRS tab when I click on my cluster name. Does anyone have an idea?
Same here! Thanks for the answer, Troy!
so when you right click on the cluster and choose edit settings, what pops up? Also, by default when you create a cluster part of the creation is a wizard that ask if you want to enable HA/DRS. So, without naming the cluster, and if nothing else hitting next, next... finish, I don't see how you created your cluster in the first place.
Right click on cluster gives me:
New Folder
New Cluster
Add Host
New Virtual Machine
New Virtual Distrubuted Switch (greyed out)
Add DataStore (greyed out)
Rescan for for DataStores
Add permission
Alarm
Open in new window
Remove
Rename
That's it.. I also did not get anything asking me if I wanted to enable HA/DRS when I created the cluster. I am looking at my cluster now shaking my head.
sounds to me as you only have a datacenter, not a cluster. A cluster should have an icon like below
Brain fart....
I fgiured it out. I did not right click on the Datacenter and tell it to create a new cluster. I just added the ESXI nodes. I have it now.
good stuff!
Same here! Thanks for the answer, Troy!
