  Beste Forum,

  IK heb een groot met clean Muse.

  The message indicates that the published version of the site includes some changes that you can synchronize your file of Muse, is this synchronization after Muse crashes? It is with a specific file or any file?

  If you try to cancel the changes, you are able to open the site and work?

• EBS 12.0.4 updated level and migration

  Hello
  
  We run 12.0.4 EBS with a database and application nodes on separate computers. We intend to migrate our node database of Linux to AIX platform and also in a second step, we upgrades the database on AIX to GR 11, 2.
  
  During this upgrade to DB, Application layer will maintain the performance of 12.0.4 version which will be upgraded to 12.1.3 after node DB upgrade.
  
  I 12.0.4 new database installed on AIX (test environment) platform. I want to know that what are the options available to migrate data from Linux to AIX 12.0.4 and how do you recommend to upgrade the node of DB. Manually (I mean after the metalink Note 1058763.1 interoperability Notes EBS R12 with Database 11 g 2) or through new 'Assistant Maintenance 2.2'.
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  Kind regards
  Fasquel

  I already went through the Doc ID mentioned Y at - it all shortcult like using expdp for Linux environmental data export and impdp to import the same on AIX.

  Given that we must perform this exercise on the production also, I would like to know the best possible solution for this migration that requires minimal downtime.

  There are only 2 methods are available for the DB migration on platform
  1. import/export - reference note is already mentioned
  2. you can also reference using Transportable database to migrate from E-Business Suite R12 using Oracle Database 10 g 2 or 11 g [734763.1 ID]

  How to reduce downtime, there are many other factors involved in the present, you can search on MOS you will find notes of reference.

  We currently use ESX 4.1 and want to upgade ESXI 5.1. Are there instructions available through video upgrade or documentation? Also, how the new licence with respect to the use of memory and CPU in ESXI 5.1. What are the benefits of upgrading to 5.1?

  Thank you

  Hi Scott,.

  In ESXi 5.1, this link will give you a quick way to see license restrictions. Moreover, like a physical processor of rule 1 = 1 license (no carrots or vRAM limitations).

  http://www.VMware.com/products/Datacenter-Virtualization/vSphere/compare-editions.html

  In the advantages, firstly, a change of ESX to ESXi. You will get a smaller and more secure hypervisor.

  Since version upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1, this will depend on what version you have... for example, if you use now 'advantage' you will have "business" in version 5.1 as advantage licenses no longer exist.

  Then you have many new available technologies, better technology HA that uses the heartbeat data store, you have more features such as VSA, vSphere replication, features improved, such as the Protection of the data instead of retrieving data... and the list goes just. Oh, you also have VMFS5 which is more flexible and optimized than VMFS3 (ATS instead of lun level blocks, only 1 block size, the larger capacities of data store, etc. etc.)

  Know that when the upgrade of the service console ports will turn to ports (perhaps you need to enable HA on these manually later). Beware if you are using third party agents that maybe they do not work in the new hypervisor, check your scripts in case you have also some commands no longer exist, no VCB more, Manager update won't let you patch your virtual machines. So, carefully read the upgrade guides

  Best regards and good luck!

• ESX or ESXi host upgrade procedure...

  Respected VMware Experts,

  I'm three differrent customer support and upgrading ESX3.5 host ESX 4 Update 2 following is the scenario of the same thing.

  1) I have a Standalone ESX host 3.5, need to upgrade to ESX 4. Update 2.

  Local storage = 2 to (entirely used by 3 VMs)

  3 VMs

  What precautions should I take before upgrading ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2. What are the steps and details for upgrade ESX3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2, without losing any data (VMs). I do not have hard drives to back up virtual machines 3

  2) on the second site, I have a Standalone ESX host 3.5 requires upgrading to ESX 4 Update 2.

  SAN = 3 TB storage

  5 virtual machines

  What precautions should I take before upgrading ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2. What will be the prerequisite steps and details for upgrade ESX3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2, without losing the VMs data.

  3) third host ESX from Site 2 setting set in a cluster environment VMware 3.5 to ESX ESX 4 Update 2.

  SAN shared storage = 2 to

  7 VM

  What precautions should I take before upgrading ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2. What will be the prerequisite steps and details for upgrade ESX3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2, without losing the VMs data.

  Those who have done this several times and created a POS, will be very useful to read 100 pages PDF to do the same.

  Concerning

  MrVMware9423

  (1) check if your hardware supported vSphere 4.1

  (2) suggest upgrade to ESXi instead of ESX

  (3) make sure that you update your vCenter server first and vCetner 4.1 will run only x 64-bit Windows systems

  (4) for the stand-alone version you have separated RAID for ESX and store data if so you can just format the drive on which ESX is installed

  (5) for the site with SAN storage disconnect from host to storage and re - join

  Make sure that the upgrade guide is reviewed

• No direct upgrade from ESX to ESXi?

  Am I right that you cannot run a simple update to ESX to ESXi?  Talking about versions 4.0 ESX to ESXi 4.1 here.  I can do a new installation easily enough, but I'd rather not.

  Also, just as a question, is there a way to check if a host ESX or ESXi vCenter?  It seems like it should be obvious, but I can't find it there.

  Thank you.

  Hello.

  Correct, there is no simple update to change versions.

  If you select the host in vCenter, examine the area above the tabs to display the version information.

  Good luck!

• ESXi 4.1 using VMware Update Manager Update

  This is my first time using Update Manager to update an ESXi host.  I have vCenter server and the Update Manager Server installed on a physical machine that has ODBC connections to a database Microsoft SQL on a computer located on my single ESXi 4.1 host virtual.  Realizing that I have to put the ESXi host in maintenance mode in order to upgrade to the latest version, I don't know how to and can continue to use vCenter Update Manager.  My only guess is that I'll have my SQL Server VM to vMotion to another ESXi host and have somehow vCenter and Manager update access to this database in order to stop the VM of the SQL Server to put the host in maintenance mode?  I tried to close the VM of SQL Server when you are connected to vCenter but I lost all ability to do something immediately.  My DC is also on that same host ESXi as well, closing the domain controller affect as well?

  If you have only an ESXi server and your VC / database etc all SimCity.EA.com ESXi host, you could consider only the upgrade without using VUM?

  http://www.get-virtual.info/2011/03/24/436/

  If your ESX host is in a cluster, the 'Miantenance Mode' operation will be vMotion virtual machines to the other hhosts and you should have no problem.

• Move from 4.0 ESX to ESXi 4.1 possible?

  Hello

  I'm shure, that this question was asked several times already, but I was looking for a long time now and I have nowhere found an answer. The question is simple:

  Is it possible to update via update 4.0 ESX to ESXi 4.1 Manager?

  I discovered, that (of course) an upgrade is possible from ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.1, but can I upgrade to Version '' i ''? As we know, ESX will soon stop developing the classic version... This is why I'm starting to think of migration...

  Best regards and thank you

  Roland

  I discovered, that (of course) an upgrade is possible from ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.1, but can I upgrade to Version 'i '.

  You cannot change the type without a reinstall

  As we know, ESX will soon stop developing the classic version... This is why I'm starting to think of migration...

  It's almost a certainty, he's not going to happen tomorrow, and when that happens they will always support the ESX version.

• Update Manager and ESXi 5.0 to 5.1

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my 5.1 ESXi host using update running 5.0u1 ESXi and vCenter 5.0u1 Manager.

  When I import the ESXi VIM ISO 5.1, I get the following error...

  Import the ESXi image
  VCENTER
  The downloaded update package cannot be used with
  VSphere VMware Update Manager.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  The appropriate upgrade path is updated to vCenter 5.1 first, and then upgrade the ESXi hosts later. It was the same process for the ages with all the upgrades of version of VMware. The upgrade to vCenter is no problem (is). I can see and manage all hosts ESXi5.0U1, but prefer to use Update Manager vCenter to upgrade their 5.1 rather than on the road to CD, but there is no VIB files ' esxi 5.0-> 5.1 upgrade ' available, so nothing to import in the Update Manager.»

  It is not the end of the world, and the upgrade still works I don't know, but I would have thought this VIB would have been available when the 5.1 became available.

• Update my ESXi 4.1.0 to the last and largest House

  Once again, my apologies for this newbie question.

  I was ESXi 4.1.0 running for awhile and wanted to bring it up to the last and the largest.  However, I must admit that I'm totally confused the naming of the files on the download page.  There are a lot of files, just download everything (assuming Yes since I am so far behind the times)?

  Y at - it a particular order that they should apply?

  OR

  Just download a single file that combines all the previous patches/updates and applies?  IF Yes, what is this file?

  Thanks in advance.

  Bill W

  I assume that you have downloaded the patches of http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal

  Basically the patches as update - from - esxi4.1 - 4.1_update02 are cumulative (as you can already see in the name of the file). I suggest that you install this update fix, followed by the latest available hotfix ESXi410-201204001. You can skip ESXi410-201201001 in this case, because it updates the same components that the mentioned before the last patch.

• I can manage esxi 4.1 update 1 and esxi virtual cenetr 5 4.1 update 1?

  Hello world

  I want to know that if I have 10 physical servers that run esxi 4.1 update1 and managed with virtual Center 4.1 update 1 and I will equip 4 esxi licenses 5 and I've not modernize 10 servers now can I manage all servers (10 esxi 4.1 u1 & esxi 4 5) by u1 cenetr virtual 4.1?

  No, to manage ESXi 5.0 hosts, you must have vCenter 5.

• Conversion from ESX to ESXi licenses

  Is it possible to use a license ESX to ESXi Server?  If this is not the case, what is involved in the conversion of an ESX license to an ESXi license?

  Thank you

  There is no difference in licensing.  The license number is issued for vSphere, and you can use with ESXi or ESX.

• ESX to ESXi upgrade

  Hi all!

  So my question is:

  Is there a way to easy upgrade from esx to esxi? or it will reinstall anyway?

  No way to upgrade. You must reinstall the host. The host document, reinstall it and configure it again :-)

• vSphere ESX or ESXi? Only one to choose...

  Hello

  I have to make the decision between the two, currently I have a mix of ESX and ESXi installed in my infrastructure.

  I heard we should all 'UPGRADE' to ESXi, well I thought that ESXi is that the poor cousin of the ESX ESX was the version to be on!

  And how would finance ESXi, work permit?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hello

  We have the ESXi since ESX 2014 will be step by step more vmware support.

  and according to the licenceing is worrying choose from standard, walking, enteprise and wide + .whichever is suits your infra... all have their characteristics to distinguish and costs.
