• Error after upgrade to ESXi 5 Update 1 on free version

  At all a ghettoVCBg2 got another run properly after the upgrade to ESXi 5u1 via vMA 5 when it's the free version?

  I have a couple of free machine and they are the only ones having problems. My verson licensed production work very well.

  The error I get on free machines is as follows:

  Failed to get vim_service - the session object is not initialized or not connected to the line /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/VMware/VICommon.pm 1654
  Perl came out with active threads:
  1 running and spare
  0 finished and spare
  0 running and detached

  I find autour and trying different solutions to simular errors (for example, by adding the debugging of CARP), but nothing works.

  None of the 1 post update fixes fixed either.

  ghettoVCB works very well on the free servers however.

  So, I'm curious if anyone has seen this problem?

  I guess that the reason is that ghettoVCB2 was built for the paid editions that allow write API access.

  There was some editions which do not restrict this access, as you can see in "Support of ESX/ESXi Version table" at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9843. The initial version of ESXi 5.0 is / was one of them, considering that the update 1 is even more restrictive.

  By default, it creates

  Standard switch: vSwitch0

  Management network

  The VM network

  Best practice is to remove the network from the VM. then remove this VM network

  Recreate the motion switch and the VMotion porgrgroup

  Re-create VM networks and interaction with all VM and VLANDIDs networks

• ESXi 4.0 upgrade to ESXi 5 Update 1

  We have a small group of 4 hosts ESXi 4.0.0 build 208167 + vCenter version 4.0.0 build 208111 (32-bit)

  due to the expiration of the lease, we replace SAN and our vCenter server hardware.

  Most of the information I can find relates to a mise a niveau of an existing vCenter server then upgrade each host. We want to do something slightly different, but I find little information covering our scenario. (Okay maybe I need to look for more deep :-)))

  I try to do the following, is a viable solution.

  Build a VM connection (2008 R2 with vCenter 5.0 Update 1) to the same management as the 4.0 vCenter Server network

  create the required cluster

  Using vCenter 4.0 disconnect each host in turn

  Using vCenter 5.0 Connect each disconnected host and adds the new Cluster

  Use v5 Update Manager to upgrade to 5 guests, then VM tools, material then from VM

  When the new San is connected, create new databases data v5

  sVmotion the VM since former SAN to the new data warehouses...

  Stop and remove old SAN and server vCenter 4.0 hardware.

  All the info I can find season meanings should be possible with very little downtime of the virtual machine, with the exception of tools, fasteners and restarts...

  I have this right, or am I missing something vital?

  That sounds reasonable - you've examined the VMware upgrade guide - it has a nice dtailed map.

• Upgrade to ESXi 6.0 U1 via provided of images, need help.

  Hello

  I want to improve my vSphere of 5.1 to 6.0, I'm at the point where I need to improve my ESXi hosts to 6.0.

  I have the possibility of using Dell released images ESXi or VMware official images. I read on a few blogs which they suggest that we use specific Dell because they may contain more updated drivers... Ok.

  What about when it comes to patch the ESXi hosts? Once I have installed Dell ESXi image, can I apply critical patches of host to the hypervisor, ESXi that appear in my Update Manager? Those who come from VMware... or what to do in this case?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  After you install ESXi 6 CD of Dell, you can apply patches critical and non-critical by using the Update Manager.

  Who will update your ESXi host for later.

  Thank you

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with storage iSCSI software to ESXi 5.5

  I intend to upgrade ESXi 4.1 with which I have attached to ESXi 5.5 iSCSI software storage

  I've updated all my guests who were on the SAN storage with no problems.

  I would like to know that if it there's nothing I should take care before I update the host connected iSCSI to ESXi 5.5, as for the hosts with SAN attached storage I made to remove the cables of SAN before upgrading the host.

  Also, if all known problems, you will be informed during the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 with iSCSI Software storage, please let me know?

  If there is no different process to upgrade coz in ESXi 4.1 I do not see this link ports of iSCSI vmkernel ports software iSCSI but I know in ESXi5.5 we have to or I just launch a procedure of standard upgrade via the Update Manager and everything will be taken care?

  Thanks in advance

  With ESXi prior to version 5, linking ports had to be done via command line. However, if it has been configured correctly, you should be able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (assuming that the host has not been previously updated since version 3). BTW. the last time that I disconnected the host of storage for an upgrade has been with ESX 3.0.

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.0.261974 to ESXi 4.1.0 errors with "upgrade package validation failed"

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade a host 4, 0.x ESXi 4.1 using the vSphere host update utility WSXi. First, it downloads the patches as expected, I select the host, and select "Upgrade of home", and then I select the file "upgrade - ESXi4.0 - to-ESXi4.1.xxxxxx.zip" I downloaded. After a while, I get the message "upgrade package validation failure (not to read the metadata of upgrade file that is located in a folder temporary users where it was unzipped to)" and the update will fail. I tried with the client installed on an XP and a box of Windows 7 with the same question, and I tried a new download without any positive result. What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for your help.

  See if that helps

• Update error 0 x 080070490 and cannot upgrade to resolve this

  I have Vista Ultimate 64 SP2.  During the "update of security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB967723)" he received the error
  0 x 080070490. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958044 page says the thing to do for Vista is to perform a repair installation.  To perform this installation with the DVD and choose to upgrade.  I tried using en_windows_vista_ultimate_sp2_checked_build_x64_dvd_342433.iso but I can't do it because I get the error:

  You cannot upgrade an intermediate version to a version not intermediate.

  Clues please?
  Thank you

  I found a system that works.  One who did not was only to ultimate. One who did was for all the flavors and typing the key to choose one which.  Maybe that's what is staged means (?).

• Dell M620 (VRTX) blade - ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 installation upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest)

  This morning I did an installation of upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest Version) on one of the blades of my VRTX M620 three 3.  I have the same problem that I met about a year, when I tried to update 1-2 update.  I had to go down to 1 update to see the data store.

  With update 3, the data store does not appear on this blade.  I did a scan to see if the data store is present, but he did not.  Also, I restarted the blade which did not help.

  I have to keep upgrading to 3 update due to the necessary correction of problem CBT.

  How to troubleshoot and resolve this problem of my data store does not?

  Note: I have very little experience with virtualization.  I just found today on how to access the interface from the CLI of blades.

  Thanks in advance.

  SOLVED.

  The original sas megaraid drivers (even installed on the blades of M620 Dell) had to be installed.  It is my understanding that several versions of the megaraid sas driver provided on the Dell ESXi ISO are meant to satisfy the VMware HCL for this material.  However, the more recent does not show the data store.

• vSphere Host Update Utility & ESXi 4.0 Upgrade

  I'm trying to upgrade a system ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4.0.  I use the guide at:

  http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/ESXi40_upgrade_without_virtualcenter.php

  When I lauch the vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0, I have a popup that informed me it must download the patches to enable the fix on a functional level.  Problem is the patches are not download or install.  Did someone knows a way I can manually download the patch and install it?  Here is what says the update utility:

  vSphere Host Update Utility to download the patches from the VMware fix repository to enable the functionality of patch.  You still want to connect to the VMware patch repository?

  Yes or no

  For the upgrade process, you need the full ZIP file for ESXi 4.0.

  Patching is the next step, but the fist you need to do the upgrade step.

• ESXi 4 upgrade by using 2 update

  Hi, we would like to update our esxi servers 4 with update 2, we have not installed update 1.

  We will have a very difficult time to know what is exactly the process. We downloaded "Update server ESXi 4.0 for ESXi 4.0 Update 2.zip Server package" I tried to use Host Update Utility, but it does not work.

  We were able to successfully apply the update 2 to VCentre.

  We have 5 guests and they run VMware ESXi, 4.0.0 164009 and VMware ESXi, version 4.0.0 181792.

  If anyone has a simple walkthru, it would be most appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Since you're using vCenter using ESXi update Update Manager
