Don't ' option UPGRADE available after failure ESXi 6.0 on a stand-alone host installation
Dear all, I have a stand-alone host ESXi 5.0 that I tried to install 6.0 on. Installation failed due to missing NIC card r8168 drivers. in any case, I've created a new ISO using ESXi Customizer utility and ready to do it again once the installation of the new ISO standard. The problem now is that there is no 'upgrade' option available when I try to update, I get only the options 'Install' which will eliminate the existing configs etc completely. In summary: the host is still working fine and no problem with it. The issue is that ESXi 6.0 Installer based no existing ESXi installation on the host computer and suggest an installation instead of an upgrade option, what happened after a few failed attempts to run the upgrade. I found this page on this forum https://communities.vmware.com/thread/445526?start=0 & tstart = 0 that says that the solution is to move the directory to a local.tgz (in altbootbank/state.xxxxx/) more high. I don't have any idea how to do this. Appreciate any help on which program use and what commands to run in order to ensure that the old installation is reviewed by the ESXi 6.0 installation program. Thanks, Abid
I managed to PASS my from5.0 host existing 6.0. To solve the problem, I had, I started the ESXi, authenticated and then checked the contents of the directories shell both Bootbank that Altbootbank by using the ls command. Altbootbank was empty. Then I copied all the files from /bootbank to /altbootbank using the cp command and then I could see the 'upgrade' again option for which I had posted this question. Installation was simple using the custom profile that I created using ESXI Customizer. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll close this issue now. Best regards, Abid

Patching stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1
I need assistance with patch 4.1 ESXi stand-alone hosts. Is it possible to stage patches? They can be downloaded and copied ot the host first? I have to do it via a WAN connection and want to copy the patches before correction of the host. I need also some of the commands necessary to achieve this. I'm not very good with the command/syntax of command line. Any help is greatly apprecieated.
You can stage patches if you are using vCenter Update Manager. If you do not use vCenter you could
(1) copy the patch into a local data store on the host
(2) run the following cmdlet to PowerCLI - install
-VMHostPatch
-HostPath

Is the price of upgrade available after the expiration of the 30 day trial?
Hello
I wanted to check the price of upgrade of the elements is available after the 30 day trial period, or must it be purchased before 30 days?
See you soon
You can buy at any time.
30 days without fair trial limits your use of the software for 30 days.
Most people decide yes or no within 30 days.
When you purchase you can start the trial and click on serial number (sometimes called License this software) entry and enter your serial number.
If you are in the United States, the price for the full version is currently the offer for US$ 55 cheaper than upgrading.

Draw attention to reports on a stand-alone host ESXi 5
Is it possible to execute all statement (email alerts) on a stand-alone ESXi 5 hosts?
I have a client with multiple virtual machines running on a single host ESXi 5 and you need to know, especially if the host fails, or possibly if resources are stretched.
Is there anything that is integrated to respond to reports or is the only option to use vCenter?
Unfortunately, these features are offered for vCenter. You can search any 3rd party tool which offer these features.

- Also, if expandable there must already be a slot for the SIMM card, is there a?
- It has been suggested that the WWAN option will be available in April, can someone confirm this?

Windows 10 OS Option not available after installation with Bootcamp
I have a Macbook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) with El Capitan Version 10.11.6 Beta (15G12a)
I just downloaded the file ISO for Windows 10 Web sites and used the bootcamp Wizard to install it.
Everything went well and my laptop restarted once he finished, back in OSX. It was very good, as the websites I used to guide me said it was normal and to simply 'reboot' my computer, pressing the option key, so that I can choose the Windows operating system.
It is the problem, when I restart my computer and hold down the option, there is no option for windows, only my hard drive in OSX. When I go to the Apple Menu then the about this Mac, it shows this.
On this basis, I guess everything was more or less successful and 10 Windows operating system is on my computer and it's a simple bug that I can't see it when booting with the down option.
I need help!
This community is not to discuss the beta versions of the operating system. You could try to focus your question in Beta users.

Upgrading stand-alone host ESX3.5
Hello
I have 1 host ESX 3.5 with 2 virtual machines with their files on the local storage of ESX vm (not SAN storage)
The ESX Server is attached to vCenter 4.1.
What are some good approaches for the upgrade of the host ESX 4.1 and preserve the local data store (so my VM keeping intact)?
Update Manager? What would be the procedure for that?
VM hardware version is also 4 for virtual machine 2
Thank you!
Re add is a better option that it redeploy agent vcenter to host again to return. The virtual machines do not need to re-record as it reappears when the host is added.

Problems of extraction LR5.6 upgrade files after download
Hello!
I just finished installing an upgrade of the LR5 from a DVD.
After that, I downloaded the last update that I have this case is LR5.6.
My problem is that I can not extract the files in the upgrade.
I just got a message from the installer tells me that there is a problem of extracting some files and check that there is enough memory on my computer. The message is also suggest to check that I'm authourized to use the target for extraction.
I reinstalled LR5, I tried to download a new upgradefolder several times, I tried to extract it in different folders.
There is enough memory and my computer meets the requirements. (I am the administrator of course.)
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!
Felix
PS below is an image of the message I get when trying to extract the files (in Swedish though).
Jeff. You lead me in the right direction already with your last email that made me uninstall LR5 and go directly to LR5.6. It worked. Lr5.6 now us running. Thank you for your question that made me think!

Hello.
I always thought that vpxuser is created on ESXi during the process of attaching to vCenter. Hoewever I figured out that this account exists on ESXi, even if the host is not managed by vCenter and has never been (I don't know where I read the news that vpxuser exists only if the host is managed by vC, there is no such info here vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre). So my question is: what vpxuser need for in the case of standalone ESXi? And could change its permissions or password affect somehow the stand-alone host?
I can't tell you the reason why, but with the last ESXi versions (including 6.0) vpxuser is a predefined on the host computer and not only created with the addition of vCenter Server as in the older versions of the host. The latest documentation (assignment of permissions for ESXi) includes this design change.

When I install fresh and sync my new firefox, I have 100 bookmarks in categories. I would like to see an option for site icons where firefox will update and get the icons for all of my favorites.
This option is available in Maxthon
Now I have to visit all the sites to see the icon.Maybe there's an addon
Hello daronwade, to automatically add the favicons to your synchronized bookmarks you can try to use the following plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/faviconreloader/
After you have installed the addon, it must learn once the scan for favicons: press the alt key to display the menu bar, go to bookmarks and select the option to recharge the favicons.

I reinstall the CS4 Master Collection after failure of the card logical and all work EXCEPT Acrobat 9 Pro. I'm under El Capitan on a Macbook Pro. The program worked with El Capitan until the logic board failure - I use it every day. I reinstalled the entire Collection, but when I open I get that Word to Acrobat in the finder without other menus - the application does not open. As a first step, I get an error message.
Acrobat has detected there are missing components
Adobe Pdf Finder
Adobe PDF Viewer plug.
I tried to uncheck the boxes, but no difference.
How can I get an operational program again? If Acrobat Pro 9 is no longer supported, how to get a version supported by software that works on my computer?
Thank you.
Thanks for the explanation. I actually have to install Acrobat and it now works. I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader XI (I think, http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/11.x/11.0.02/en_US/AdbeRdr11002_en_US.dmg ) and opened the program. I noticed that after I opened the new drive, my Adobe Reader 9 program began to work. After that, I tried to open Acrobat and instead of getting the error 6 message that I had before, I had an error on a question of license that would require me to uninstall and reinstall the software. Once I did these steps my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro started working! Don't know why my program, but it is fully functional again. I hope it helps someone else, I have why I came to answer.

No VR command available after upgrade
We have recently upgraded to vCenter 5.5.0 2175560 and I then improved the VR for VR 5.5.1.4 device. We had been to vCenter 5.1.x and 5.1.x.x VR (latest version compatible with vCenter 5.1). I think I did everything correctly. All of the rehearsals that would continue to work, but I can't make changes. For each replicated VM, under Actions, I get "no action available. For unreplicated VMS, "Setting up replication" is grayed out. I have spent a bit of time to research on this problem, but haven't found anything. The first thing that comes to mind is that it is a permissions issue, but I have the Administrator role.
We use a vCenter to replicate virtual machines between data centers managed by the same server vCenter. At first I thought maybe I should add the vCenter server as target a site, but it looks like this is not necessary when using a vCenter.
Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
There is a problem after the VR upgrade:
shares of vSphere in vSphere Client Web replication not available after upgrade. If you follow the steps to complete the upgrade of the vSphere replication device if the vCenter Server IP change but use vSphere Web Client 5.5 before you upgrade the unit of replication vSphere, actions of replication with the replication vSphere plugin not available.
Solution: Restart the vSphere WebClient service in Windows Services, or vCenter Server virtual appliance (VAMI) management interface if you are using the vCenter Server Appliance.

I hope this helps.
