Industry:Software
In VMware Infrastructure 3, a mode of licensing VMware software in which all license keys are administered by a license server, which manages a central license pool. Feature entitlement is checked out and returned on demand. See also host-based licensing.
Industry:Software
The command-line interface for an ESX server system that enables administrators to configure the system. The service console is installed as the first component and used to bootstrap the ESX server installation and configuration. The service console also boots the system and initiates starting the virtualization layer and resource manager. You can open the service console directly on an ESX server system. If the ESX server system’s configuration allows Telnet or SSH connections, you can also connect remotely to the service console.

To reclaim unused space in a virtual disk. If a disk has empty space, shrinking reduces the amount of space the virtual disk occupies on the host drive. Shrinking virtual disks is a way to update an older virtual disk to the format supported by the current version of vCenter Server. You cannot shrink preallocated virtual disks or physical disks.
Industry:Software
A unit of CPU and memory that can accommodate the CPU and memory reservation requirements of the largest virtual machine in your cluster. Spare capacity for failover is maintained on hosts in the cluster in slot sizes, so that any virtual machine in the cluster can fit in the slot size and be able to be failed over. Represents potential computing capacity on a node. A virtual machine can run in an empty slot in the event of failover.
Industry:Software
An abstract representation of multiple hosts defining the same vSwitch (same name, same network policy) and port group. These representations explain the concept of a virtual machine being connected to the same network as it migrates among multiple hosts.
Industry:Software
A reference to the specific memory state of an object at a certain time. A vHandle is an object handle that has a version number associated with it. The version number determines the specific memory state.
