Hi,
Our company is about to start using this per h licensing method. We have now only free ESXi hosts which are managed by vSphere of course. A VMWare redistributor instructed me to install this usage meter on existing host. Okay, the installation was fine but when I try to add an ESXi host to Manage->Products->vCenter Server it tells me the following:
Not a vCenter Server: VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-1021289
Naturally this is correct because I don't have a vCenter yet. Should this system even work on individual esxi hosts? At least the manual says so, as far as I got it correct.
If I can't get this work, are there any alternative methods to find out an assumed monthly fee of using my hosts under this points license?
Thank you.
