Difference of ESXi hosts between analysis of updates and patches of scene

Hello

I have two ESXi hosts with round about 700 applicable patches.

What is the difference between "stage Patches"und"search for updates"?

Do I need maintenance mode for the scene fixes?

Kind regards

Hello

Scan for updates will scan the hosts against the basic lines of patch you have attached to them and to report on the status of this host against the base line, so, essentially, Scan for updates will tell you what patches and updates to your departure are absent from the host if the return "non-compliant" or "compliant" if all patches are already installed.  It can also return 'Unknown' or 'Inconsistent' according to the status of the host and other factors.

Step will basically copy all files to update and patch that must be installed to the willing host for the conversion, which will be more actually to install patches.  Staging of updates to date does not make service, you don't need to put the host in maintenance mode, while the staging, the host must be in service during the reclamation mode.  You can trigger a reorganization without staging, but the benefit of the staging is, first of all, you will reduce the amount of time that your host is out of action because all patches and updates are already in place in anticipation of final approval, which means that the rehabilitation phase is much faster.

I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief not

    Hi friends,

    1. is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief walking distance.

    2 can we perform vMotion and Storage vMotion while ESXi is turned on.

    3. is it possible to extend the VMDK disk while it integrates snapshots in it.

    Best regards,

    Sirot Vijay

    Yes the vmotion and svmotion works but one by one.

    1 - vmotion is posssible to power on State, but you can't svmotion the vm simultaneously. The storage will remain same

    2 svmotion is also possible to power on the State, but you cannot vmotion virtual machine simultaneously. the host will remain the same.

    3 vmotion and svmotion is possible together when the vm is off power. the host and storage can be changed simultaneously on this State.

  • ESXi host goes to the State and the virtual machine does not restart on other host does not

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a solution, in which case the host goes to the State and the virtual machine on it does not restart on a different host (they'll just gray) does not not what could be the problem here and how to fix it

    later when the failed host returns upward machines either go to motor off the coast of the State, or they show that under tension

    Yes AF, the answer to all these questions is Yes, it is a HA and DRS cluster active, I tried restarting mgmt service, we use a shared storage (storage iSCSI HP 3PAR and left hand)

  • Manager Update and patching ESX hosts

    We have 2.5u3 with ESX 3.5u2 VC.

    We want to use VMware Update Manager to patch the ESX host. I created a reference database containing patches ESX and attached to a host ESX to test. I have a scanner and it came with 28 patches that need to be installed, which is ESX update 1.

    Why would it need to install ESX 1 update when we already run ESX Update 2?

    No idea, or do I just exclude it?

    This is a bug of gui... it will not be applied.

    I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

    Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

    If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.

  • Update Server VC and 5.5 ESXi hosts to update 3 b (Build 3248547)

    I'm in vCenter Server 5.5 and 5.5 ESXi hosts.  Both are updated 3A, patched to version 201510001, which is the build 3116895.  I plan the upgrade of update 3 b (Build 3248547) and I'm a little confused on the question of SSLv3.

    I wonder if this point below ESXi55 U3b & VC 55U3b Known Issues applies to my config:

    ESXi does not automatically added to the inventory of the vCenter servers
    If you install an earlier version of vCenter Server and vSphere Update Manager for ESXi 5.5 updated 3B, then after the task of sanitation, ESXi does not automatically added to the VC inventory. Remediation process never gets done and ESXi State of connection in the VC inventory is presented as disconnected. Solution: When you restart ESXi after reorganization process is started, enable SSLv3 on ESXi (which is disabled by default). This will ensure that ESXi is added to the VC inventory automatically in minutes and sanitation as completed.

    If I'm reading things correctly, upgrade to vCenter Server to 3 b first and then upgrade the ESXi hosts, will avoid lost communication problems.  Can anyone confirm?

    It should be good if you update vCenter first.

    The problem is that pre - U3b vCenter 5.5 forces an SSLv3 connection when connecting to an ESXi host on port 443 (not the reverse). It does this, even if the host ESXi and vCenter SSL/TLS libraries actually support TLS 1.0 + since at least vSphere 4.0.

    So when you update one host to 5.5 U3b, the oldest vCenter again will try to force a connection SSLv3 that will fail, since SSLv3 has been disabled to the host. If you're updating vCenter, first of all, it will initiate a good TLS 1.0 + connection to more similar and updated hosts.

    Here is an explanation of the (pre - U3b) vCenter SSLv3 handshake behavior:

  • Upgrade 5.0 ESXi host w / vCenter on it

    Hi people, forgive me if this isn't in the right place. Finally move the update and patches of my three hosts ESXi 5.0 with Update Manager. I was quite easily able to update two of my guests with managers to upgrade to a more recent version, however puzzled on what to do with the host that hosts my vCenter on that server? We have VMware essentials if we do not have to use Vmotion. Is there an easy way to update this host without vCenter cloning and move to another host to update? Advice or tips or news to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

    I guess your vCenter is on the shared storage - connect to the host of your power VM vCenter down the VM and remove from the inventory of the hosts - go to one of the hosts that has been already updated and add the virtual machine to inventory and run it - and now, you're ready to use the Update Manager to update host rest.

  • Adding secondary management NIC to ESXi host

    Hello

    We currently have a customer demand to add secondary management NIC to the ESXi servers ourselves and the client can connect to hosts if vCenter becomes unavailable.

    Is someone can confirm if it is feasible or will host blend and become inaccessible? Sorry if this is an obvious answer, it's just that I have never seen configuration with management NIC

    Thanks in advance.

    We currently have a customer demand to add secondary management NIC to the ESXi servers ourselves and the client can connect to hosts if vCenter becomes unavailable.

    Can clarify you what exactly you mean by that? A single management interface are accessible by some many different clients, as long as it is accessible. Are there limits where the client manages the ESXi host from an internal network and you need to access externally via public IP, another for networking?

    In this case your would create a management interface 2nd vmkernel on the external network and to face together the default route of the external gateway routing and insert static routes for the internal network using the internal network gateway. So basically the same thing you would do to any IP multi-hosted system.

  • Change the password for root to an ESXi host

    Hello

    I need help to get a script VCO that change password for root to an ESXi host.

    In PowerCLI is the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet. I searched in VCO API... I have not found or something similar.

    I found the object of VcHostAccountSpec but seems it only works with "Host Profiles" and my licenses are Standard and Enterprise.

    http://www.VMware.com/support/Orchestrator/doc/vco_vsphere51_api/HTML/VcHostAccountSpec.html

    Any idea?

    Thanks, Roberto

    Another option would be to connect to the ESXi host with vCO plugin SSH and run the command "passwd" remotely. Haven't tried, but in theory, it should work.

    @Tim - we try to keep the compatibility of the existing whenever possible plug-ins vCO so PowerShell module should work with the latest vCO relies.
