Hello:
I am new to the vmware. Have some basic questions and any help appreciated.
I have 10 Windows physical boxes. Now I want to virtualize them using VMWare. So this is what I understand and help with the scenario.
I have to install ESX host software and then create VM guest of Windows. The vm guest will be located on the ESX host. Now the question is do I install 10 ESX hosts, if it is then we do not have funds for the licenses. I gather a ESX host can support multiple VMguest. So how can I pool/group all my physical boxes and still install one ESX host software, over which if I can place the VM guests.
The point is my Windows physical boxes are stand alone blade servers, how can I make them appear them as one single machine to ESX software so I can reduce my licence costs?
