  No Yes No problem. Just run 1) to ensure that things are OK before 2) who is the real thing. Maybe you want to go to ESXi as the next version would be communicated of ESXi only.

• ESX 3.5 Update 5 versus question 4.1 VMotion ESX

  Good afternoon

  I hope it's a small question, I'll try to be concise.

  Basically I have an instance of Virtual Center 2.5 Enterprise (original version) with two ESX 3.5 knots (original also build... don't read any updated). DRS and HA are enabled.

  We started to exceed two knots (about 40 guests between them) and we recently ordered two new servers. Since it is several years since our first installation, we cannot buy the same materials. My understanding is that ESX 3.5 and earlier did not play really well when you introduced different hardware (servers) in a cluster. I've heard say that ESX 3.5 Update 5 (besides being current and taken in charge) remedies this problem. Is this true?

  Can I update my current environment ESX 3.5 update 5 and updated to Virtual Center 2.5 update 6 and then introduce some servers intel based more recent (but similar) in the cluster without any problems (ie. Invited VMotion between all ESX 4 nodes).

  Upgrade to 4.1 is more than I can swallow in the next few days, as they would result at the end of next week. I guess I can go down the licensing of two new ESX Server (ESX 4.1 licenses have been purchased for these new servers).

  Thank you

  TMR

  Am I right to assume that, in this perspective, ESX 3.5 U2 and ESX 4.1 will be will be the same in terms of CPU and EVC baselines (in other words, 4.1 has an advantage here).

  Yes, it's a safe assumption.  VCA Mode automatically applies the best option of compatibility possible for you, regardless of the version of ESX.  It is strictly for the CPU compatibility.

• Cannot use upgrade Update Manager to ESX 4.0 Update 1

  We use vCenter 4.0. There are combinations of update4 ESX 3.5 and ESX ESX 4.0 host update1. I intend to upgrade to host ESX 3.5 update 4 ESX 4.0 update1.   I use ESX 4.0 update 1 DVD ISO Picture, when I try to create a baseline for the upgrade of the host, I get the following error.  It is said "impossible to import upgrade, upgrade version is not supported by this version fo Vmware VCenter update manager. I know that I can directly connect to ESX 3.5 and run the esxupdate or boot ESX 4.0 update DVD and perform the upgrade. I wonder why cann't Update Manager? We know the right answer?

  

  Just a guess.

  As you try to download the update of ESX 1, I guess that your vCenter Server is already on the update 1.

  If so you can update manager to update to version 4.0 Update 1 Patch 2.

• ESX 3.5 Update 5 (Build 207095) Crash @ 30% with Update Manager

  Hi everyone, we are currently trying to update our ESX running 207095 build (new generation).  As soon as we do the remediation.  It starts to install without problem until it hits the 30% Mark.  At this point the update managers hangs and fails after 30 minutes saying "Update Manager has timed out...". "At this point i will accept a reboot in vCenter, and once he's trying to start at what was assumed to be GRUB I get this error:"Error 15 file not found"at this stage, we rebuild the host.  And it happened again on the fresh build.

  Here are the versions:

  ESX 3.5 Update 5 (Build 207095)

  2.5 U6 with Update Manager vCenter

• ESX 4.0 Update 1 vs ESX 4.0 Update 1 has

  I anticipate a 3.5 to 4 ESX ESX upgrade and notes that "ESX 4.0 Update 1" (814MB ISO, build 208167) and 'Package Upgrade ESX 4.0 to ESX Server 4.0 Server Update 1 a' (739MB zip).

  Hmmm... I've never known VMware to publish '1a' versions of ESX and KB article below does not reference anything other that it is more build 208167 and continues to list a set of patches.

  Why would be released "1a"?  Wouldn't more typical for U1, U2, U3, etc be released and then, for patches between them, simply use the Update Manager?

  I just had to ask that we start picking up my documentation and installers in preparing for this project.  Thank you.

  You are right, for the upgrade of the host you should definitely use the ISO 1 update.

  Sorry if I confused you with my first answer.

  What I meant by "You don't have to worry about update 1 and 1 a update when you update from version 3.5" was the 1a Update doesn't have any effect on this scenario (that's why VMware has not released a new DVD image for the 1a update). 1 to update just came out to correct an installation problem when updating to 4.0 - with the HP management agents installed - update 1. The binaries are the same, there was only the installation change, as described in the article.

• Problems of performance after a random amount of time

  Hello

  I'm hunting for a problem of performance for quite a while now and I would like to ask the community for tips.

  But first things first:

  We have installed ESXi 4.0.0 (219382) on a Dell PowerEdge R710 with an Intel Xeon processor [email protected] and 8 GB of RAM. A PERC 6 / i controller is configured in RAID 5 for storage. A variety of facilities of Fedora and Ubuntu (6.06, 8.04) are running as the guest systems.

  When starting a guest performance subjective experience is thin and use hdparm, we get reading disc, 35 to 60 MB/srates. However, after an indefinite period, the performance of the system goes down and hdparm reported rates of about 1 MB/sdisc. This happens on the guests at random and after random times. The only job here is to stop the prompt and start again (reset doesn't work here).

  I have already studied the documentation available as http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-3930 and followed the recommendations, but I had no success so far. Don't check the performance of the ESXi host using the Client vSphere and esxtop, no load heavy on the queues of the processor or disk can be noticed. Comments file systems are not aligned, but I doubt that this would be the reason for such a success enormous performance.

  What takes me by surprise is the random time amounts. Enabling VT - x in the BIOS after installing ESXi would play a role here?

  I would appreciate any advice.

  Thank you

  Andreas

  But ESX needs memory for itself, approximately 1 GB, and there is memory above each guest (for example a guest of 1 GB has about 128 General fresh MB).  ESX will also try to keep some are free (in a 8 GB machine ESX will generally try to keep the use of the RAM to about 6.5 GB or less in my experience).

  These factors combined are why you see ball and swap figures.

  Your options are to reduce the RAM allocation or adding more physical RAM.  Another option in some cases is to move the files to a decent SSD vSwap.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• ESX 3. Updated 4 and Vcenter 4

  Hello

  I bought 4 - ESX 4 Standard and 1 license Vcenter 4 and my client wants me goahead with installation of ESX 3.5 Update 4 instead of Vsphere 4 (ESX 4.0) because they do not want to do a test with ESX 4 rather than they want to go with Stable ESX 3.5 Update 4.

  Heres what my problem, they want to use Vcenter 4 and set up licenses for ESX 3.5 Update 4, how would I be able to configure Vcenter 4 to concede these ESX 3.5 servers, any help would be much appreciated

  don't forget to provide points (correct or useful)

• Comparative ESX 3.5 updates

  Hello, can someone help me about to find a comparison or why is it important to update the versions of VMWare ESX 3.5 update?, I ask because some people have a stable infrastructure for example an ESX 3.5 update 1 patch and you ask what is the need of an update?.

  I know that there are terms risks and performance improvements, but I woul like to know if there is little documentation on.

  Thank you very much.

  With each version of patch there are notes of this detail, which is fixed - so you can read those and decide if the patch is applicable to your environment.
