The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Vsphere Vcenter Licence problem

Asked by CAMSYSTEMS in VMware

Tags: Vsphere Vcenter ESX4 Licence

I have a installation of vsphere for 3 esx servers and vcenter foundation. All was well untill I came in yesterday to find the vcenter server service had crashed and wouldnt run. I first thought it was a database issue so restored the database to a backup and problem still ocurred.

I since then found it was a issue with one of the esx hosts and that everytime the host was attempted reconnection to vcenter vcenter would bomb out. I decided then to try a new fresh vcenter install (aware of all the data and settings that would be lost and need reentering)

This went through fine, I started adding the esx hosts in which worked until I got to the final host for some reason when I try to add it I get a error saying the licence doesnt have enough capacity. On viewing vcenter shows 2 esx hosts each with 2cpus assigned from the 6 cpu licence yet under capacity it shows no cpus available.

It was set up fine beforehand its as if vcenter thinks it has licenced the other esx host however neither are showing the host and each time I try to connect it I get the capacity error.

I have restarted the esx host, restarted the vcenter server and still the problem remains. As no esx host shows in vcenters asset list I cant remove any licence it thinks may have been issued as it only shows two esx hosts.

Is there anywhere this information is held in vcenter or its database where a flag is showing that a licence has been issued but no esx host against it?

I really need to get this sorted as I am running at full capacity across the current two esx hosts for HA. Is anyone able to help with this?
