Is it possible to use Tanzu on ESXi free version?

ReplyfgrehlJune 18, 2020 at 8:59 pm

No. You need vCenter and NSX-T to enable Tanzu (aka. Workload Management)

If you want to test Workload Management, you can keep ESXi in Evaluation mode but you still need a vCenter and NSX-T.

Something wrong at VMWare site?

ReplyMarcoMay 22, 2020 at 10:16 am

Thank you

Are the API limitation the same as v6.7/v6.5?

Here you mention `API is read-only` whereas in the article about v6.5 it's simply mentionned that some API functionality are missing

ReplyFabricioSeptember 3, 2020 at 12:34 am

I don't get the license key after doing registration, still on 60 day trial. Any help?

ReplyGBSeptember 16, 2020 at 12:02 am

I just tried it 9/15/2020. It seems to be working. It did not like using Chrome and I ended up using EDGE.

After completing steps 3-5. The key was displayed on that same page as show in the article.

Did it with firefox. update reflected instantly.

ReplyAlexanderNovember 4, 2020 at 2:42 pm

I had the same problem with the esxi downloading in both Chrome & Firefox browsers, but once I've opened the vmware site in private/anonymous mode I easily got registered for evaluation and got a license with download links.

It seems there some cookies or plugin incompatibility with the vmware site because private/anonymous mode makes your browser looking like freshly installed.
