Verify ESXi Licensed Featured

By Joe Piggee

Sometimes you’ll see errors, even though everything is configured correctly. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to a clients site and performed troubleshooting tasks, just to findout they aren’t licensed for a particular function. So Verify first before getting to deep.

 

To verify which features are licensed, make sure that the vSphere Client/VMware Infrastructure is connected to vCenter Server/VirtualCenter.

1. Select the ESX/ESXi host from the inventory in vCenter Server.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Licensed Features link.

Ensure that the feature appears on the list and that there are enough CPU licenses. If the feature is not listed, click Edit and enable the feature
