  We must install a 2008 R2 which is not supported on these versions, it is supported on U5.

  So, I want to upgrade.  IM more familiar with ESXi ESX 3.5 4.

  From what I read, I can just download the Rollup 3.5 U5 CD. Can I just start with that and follow the instructions and it will update to the U5

  Is it that simple?

  In addition, we run a couple of VM on local storage on these servers, im assuming they will be left intact and that there is no reformatting of drives?

  If she needs to reformat I can copy the virtual machine off the coast of the first.

  Thank you

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Kind regards.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  3 VMware Guest Tools

• How is upgrade from Standard to Enterprise Version - difficult to migrate vm to ESX server for Central storage for use with VMotion

  Hi all

  We plan to upgrade our current system. We have 1 ESX Server with Standard operating system. Adding 2 more ESX Server with Enterprise edition and upgrading of our current business. We have about 15 VM on our current ESX Server. The migration process is difficult to move the virtual machines in storage Central for use with VMotion. I intend to take the ESX 3.5 Fast track class before you start the upgrade. I am trying to plan a project planned for the time to migrate these courses.

  Any guidance would be great.

  Robert

  Here is a link to the plugin - http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

  The amount of time it will take to migrate the virtual machine online all depends on the size of the drive, the configuration of storage etc.

• ESX Server won't go into maintenance mode - Timeout

  We have 1 host ESX 4.1 support our view desktop computers. I tried to plan a reorganization of the host during the night, but jobs would not be the exit ramp leading to the maintenance task timeout mode.

  What will do to make desktop computers will be exit during this upgrade? I put all the desktops into maintenance mode before the host trys to remedy?

  Thank you

  Travis

  This part of a cluster DRS ESX Server? If not you will need to manually stop or vmotion the VMS to another ESX host before it can go into maintenance mode - if it's part of a DRS DRS cluster must be set fully automated so DRS can automatically vmotion the VMs before entering maintenance mode.

• 4.1 ESX Server thinks it is managed by VCenter, but is not

  An ESX 4.1.0 server (Standard edition) think it is managed by our server to VC, but it isn't.

  When connecting to the server with an ESX VSphere Client, I am greeted with the message:

  "This host is currently managed by the VCenter server... IP address.  It is not the case.

  I believe that the problem started in trying to add this ESX server 4.1.0 to our server VCenter 4.0.0

  This isn't a combination of supported, but the operation seems to have left the ESX with the VCenter Server Agent installed and configured server.

  I guess I'll upgrade our server VCenter 4.1 at a given time, but how to remove or correct the VC Server Agent on the host computer in the meantime?

  I see this suggestion: http://http://communities.vmware.com/message/707920#707920

  and cannot find this directory on the server VCenter, but what script to use is not clear.

  Thank you... Lyle

  Hi Lyle,

  Take a look at the following kb and try uninstalling vCenter Server Agent:

• Cannot ping my esx Server

  Hi all

  I hope you can help, this problem has been driving me crazy for some Richard now!

  Firstly a bit of history... We have a Compaq ML760 running esx 3.0.1 attached to 2 SCSI disk bays. On weekends, this system was powered down by our partners to outsource in replacement of the ups in the rack. When turning the power on it we lost communication with the inverter boards... a new case, few new readers and reconstruction of the RAID the latter we have an ESX that starts in the log on screen with no obvious errors.

  So, the problem is that since we cannot ping or connect to any other way of our ESX Server. Now, before that I have to go any further in my opinion, it is worth noting that I'm not an expert of linux/esx I know enough to login as root and run a few commands.

  I have read several discussions around this issue and none seem to apply to my situation. Not only did I not ping my ESX, when I log into the ESX I can't ping any device, even the entry door. I had a quick glance at the configuration (should not have changed during the upgrade of the UPS!) and everything looks ok to me, feel free to correct me, the info is here:! esxcfg-NICS. JPG!

  

  

  any ideas would be appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Adam

  Adam - I had a very similar problem in my test once environment. Everything was going well, all settings have been properly etc... but no connectivity ntwk. I had to remove my network config and rebuild. You can try just a little at a time to see if it works. Try to create a new vSwitch, move your top Service Console and assign a network adapter with the appropriate vlan information. See if it works then. That should give you an idea if there is a kind of corruption with the current configuration of ntwk.

  This site will give you all the commands necessary to accomplish these tasks:

• ESX 3.0.1 upgrade to 3.5

  Looking for the best method to upgrade the two ESX 3.0.1 server 3.5 U4.  We use virtual center or vmotion.  I read the upgrade Guild but has not seen a method of upgrading to a configuration of ESX servers using a SAN without Virtual Center.  What I read on this forum, it seems that my steps should be as follows.

  1. Backup *.vmdk files

  2. ESX server using boot iso image and choose to upgrade.

  Is it really that simple?

  Thanks for your help.

  Back up your data before an upgrade is never a bad idea.  However, the upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.5 should not do something for data warehouses.  It is pretty simple - just stop the virtual machines and initiate the CD 3.5 and choose to upgrade.  Then, you will need to upgrade VMware Tools on your virtual machines.

  Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

• Command updating ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 build #207095

  I have a server ESX 3i, 3.5.0 build from 207095 and I'm trying to update with the latest patch (ESXe350-201302401-O - SG.zip) which I copied to a folder on the local drive:

  "/ vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches / '.

  I run the commands:

  «esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip b»

  ... as well as

  "esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip d.

  ... and it is for me to give a new prompt. That means that means and why I can't update my installation?

  I also extracted the original zip file and created these sub zip files:

  "ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip".

  "ESXe350-201302401-T - BG.zip" and

  "ESXe350-201302401-C - SG.zip.

  ... I tried the command on them as anything does not.

  How can I get this patch inistalled?

  What is the right syntax?

• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  Hello guys,.

  I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

  During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

  I used this command to get the following result:

  # vmware - v

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

  ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

  If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

  I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

  Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  Also...

  ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.
