  • [SOLVED] Help fixing 'file two systems with the same uuid were detected.

    I have a Setup ESXi embedded (installed on a USB key connected to the internal USB port) on a Dell T710 with few of the SAS drives.  I tried the upgrade to 4.0 - 294855 to 4.1 - 348481 by following the instructions here via:

    esxupdate--bundle=/vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/path/to/upgrade-from-esxi4.0-to-4.1-update01-348481.zip update

    Even if it is done correctly, when I restarted I got a purple screen with this message on this subject:

    The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue.

    Two systems with the same UUID files have been detected.  Make sure that you do not have two installations of ESXi.

    So, he tried to update one of the SAS drives internal versus inside USB key...?

    I studied this time before & found a threadwhere posted to help, but it wasn't enough to get me going.  Tonight, I found KB1035107 which details how to fix this, but I have a few concerns:

    • How can I identify the drive that has the invalid ESXi installation?
    • Better yet: How can I identify who / disc is the one with the ESXi installation I want to keep?
      • I know that I can use esxcfg-mpath-l., esxcfg-mpath-band esxcfg-scsidevs-l to collect the disk & LUN information.  But what happens if it wasn't a built-in installation?  If ESXi was installed on one of the SAS drives, how could I confirm which drive it actually installed on?
    • What is the worst that could happen with the performance he commands in the KB above?
      • Do I need to worry about migration whatever data is stored elsewhere there until I can get through this?

    Finally, and perhaps more important than these other issues:

    It is for me a way to specify which disk/drive/device to target when executing upgrades, more precisely from 4.0 to 4.1?

    How can I perform upgrades in the future without having to worry about this nonsense?  I don't want to have to disconnect from the LUN/warehouses of data whenever there is an upgrade (major or minor).


    Thank you very much.

    Thank you

    OK, I was kind of what went wrong here.

    The snap has been loaded from a powershell module. When the module is removed and added again, the snap ceases to function, but also can not be added again.

    If the snap is loaded first outside the module everything works fine until you try never to remove or add snap-in module.
