Hypervisor Licenses
You can choose to either bring your own hypervisor licenses or purchase them through Cisco for a single, seamless support experience.
When bringing an existing license to use with HyperFlex ESXi clusters, you must select what version of the ESXi hypervisor to install in manufacturing. Compatible SKUs are labeled as FND or Foundation Edition and only serve to allow pre-installation of the hypervisor. Foundation licenses are not a permanent entitlement from VMware and must be replaced by permanent license keys before moving the cluster to production. When ordering, select the foundation SKU that corresponds to the version of ESXi desired (e.g. 6.5, 6.7, 7.0).
Note |
You can change the version on-site by re-imaging the node if required. |
VMware ESXi licenses purchased through Cisco are fulfilled with Partner Activation Code (PAC) licenses. These PAC license keys:
-
Require manual activation using a redemption portal at vmware.com
-
After activation, the licenses are deposited into the corresponding My VMware account. From here, the keys can be actively managed (e.g. upgraded/downgraded, combined/split, etc).
-
HyperFlex servers ship with the version specified by the foundation (FND) SKU selected at time of ordering. Once the PAC licenses are activated, the new license keys should be applied to all HyperFlex nodes.
