A Couple of Newbie Questions

$

0

As the subject indicates, I am new to ESXi.  I have it running but I have 2 questions that I can't find answers for (I'm probably looking in the worng places for the answers);

 

1) When I connect to the ESXi host, I am prompted telling me that the evaluation license will expire in 60 days.  I have a license (the free ESXi license) but I cannot find any place to provide it to the host from within vSphere.  How do I apply it so that it stops prompting me and, more importantly, doesn't expire in 60 days?  The link on the prompt just takes me to a web page where I can download an eval copy of ESXi - which is kind of odd.

 

2) The machine I have ESXi runnin on has 3 nics; one on the motherboard and two in expansion slots.  But, ESXi only recognizes one of them.  I assume that this is a driver issue but I cannot firgure out where I get the drivers from or how I install them.  Can this be done from within vSphere or do I have to do it from the console?  I didn't see anywhere in the console that would allow me to install drivers, either.

 

Thanks

 

Bert
