Can BE7K be added into Vcenter?

[Vinh Nguyen]

I have client just bought a BE7K and cannot add into Vcenter.  Is it true that it is not supported at the moment?  What is required to allow it to be added into Vcenter?

Thanks

Greetings.

I believe it has more to do with the Vsphere license you have installed on your BE7K host.

I have seen instances where you need to take the license key you have installed on the local esxi host,, add it into vcenter licensing,,, then assign  from vcenter to the host you are trying to join to vcenter.

See licensing versions: http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-software-requirements.html#license_comparison

When you say it cannot be added, is vcenter complaining about the licensing?

There are going to be certain interop requirements for various versions of vcenter and the esxi version your host is running.

Thanks,
