• How to patch/update ESXi 4.1 (free) now Host Update Utility went

  Hello

  If I understand right now, I need to use vihostupdate (from vsphere CLI) or esxupdate (running in a terminal on the server) to install the new updates/patches on the ESXi 4.1 server.

  The "Host Update Utility" would also find new patches online, this is not possible with vihostupdate or esxupdate? and if no, then how and where can I download new patches/updates?

• vSphere Host Update Utility & ESXi 4.0 Upgrade

  I'm trying to upgrade a system ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4.0.  I use the guide at:

  http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/ESXi40_upgrade_without_virtualcenter.php

  When I lauch the vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0, I have a popup that informed me it must download the patches to enable the fix on a functional level.  Problem is the patches are not download or install.  Did someone knows a way I can manually download the patch and install it?  Here is what says the update utility:

  vSphere Host Update Utility to download the patches from the VMware fix repository to enable the functionality of patch.  You still want to connect to the VMware patch repository?

  Yes or no

  For the upgrade process, you need the full ZIP file for ESXi 4.0.

  Patching is the next step, but the fist you need to do the upgrade step.

• Error with Host Update Utility when I scan for patches

  Hello

  I try to use Host Update Utility to update my server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.0 Update 1, but I get the following error when I press the button "Scan For Patches. The error is "an error has occurred. Download failed ". So, I started looking in communities, if someone had the same error and I think that the problem is due to I install my VI Client and Host Update Utility in Windows XP SPANISH version. Could be the language that I use in my OS (Spanish) the cause of this problem?

  I tell you that I do not use any kind of proxies. I am in a private network and between internet and I have only a router. I can navigate anywhere on the internet without any problem and I have no restrictions on what are the ports that I use. The router is reserved for NATS.

  The other issue is . Displaying the HUU configuration file (settings.config) I see the URL for the variable "RemoteDepot" is "https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/index.xml". "" This URL is correct or VMware has changed it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Warlock.

  I have the same problem. Host Update Utility does not work with windows XP Spanish, you must install Windows Vista Spanish Profesional.

  I think that vmware cares not Spaniards.

• VMware ESXi 5 host stops sending the syslogs to the remote server (Splunk)

  We have recently installed a Splunk syslog server and our pointing devices are to him.   I noticed that when we stop/start the server (or service) the logs of all my ESXi 5 hosts stop coming in.

  There seems to be a known problem

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2003127

  The next step 5 restart the newspaper that circulates.  But there is no way I want to log on to the console and run it whenever someone does something in Splunk that needs a reboot or the Windows box is restarted for patches.

  I started writing a script bash (below), but discovered that ESXi has really not an area of cron as has ESX4 (not i).  If I brute force to create it on the host, it will come off with tasks.

  # This checks if the syslog server is written on "SPLUNK" third-party syslog server

  # It will restart the syslog service if she sees that he has ceased to

  const = 'cannot write the journal. "

  If [/var/log/.vmsyslogd.err - e]; then

  /var/log/.vmsyslogd.err n 1 tail. grep "unable to write the log.

  If [$? = 0]; then

  echo '$const; Found in the LAST line, restart the syslog server.

  FI

  FI

  "I was going to cron to run every 15 minutes and if he saw the last line in the log that was stopped 'impossible to write the journal' so I would like to add a '.esxcli system syslog reload " inplace of the echo line.

  "I vCenter on a Windows machine and would like to run a scheduled task on all my hosts (perhaps a csv file) and then delivers."esxcli system syslog reload " if that is found.  I can't figure out how to do this, can anymore help me out?

  I'd like to use what I have, I don't have a vMA or splunks VM either.

• Error on the UPS Firmware Dell Update utility

  Hello

  I got the error "No UPS connected or not able to make the connection" the inverter is connected by USB.  I have RS232 or USB enabled in the upgrade utility.

  I'm under UPS Local Node Manager, that's how I know that the UPS USB connection is good.

  Manager of local node said in respect of the power supply: Dell Rack/Tower UPS 2700W UPS RT LI LV 2700.  The device status for lack of UPS.

  The following information found here that I'm updating the firmware and then replace the battery followed by replacing the battery if the fault is not resolved.  I have re-sitting and replace the battery with a new battery.  The front panel of the inverter shows again the fault as well as the software after replacing the battery.  It seems that the update of the firmware is the only option for this error at this stage of troubleshooting.  However, the upgrade utility does not work.  Please help.

  Sometimes they have the management software will not allow the firmware update utility to try and work as follows:

  1. If the inverter has the NMC (Network Management Card) installed, then select the NMC in the utility of upgrade of the UPS Firmware and update the firmware of the UPS.
  2. Connect the ups to another system (server, desktop computer, laptop computer) that has neither ULNM nor would save installed. Load the utility to upgrade the Firmware of the UPS and the UPS firmware on the new system files. Launch the UPS Firmware Upgrade utility and update the firmware of the UPS. Reconnect the ups to the original system.
  3. Uninstall the ULNM and/or would save the system. Launch the UPS Firmware Upgrade utility and update the firmware of the UPS. Reinstall ULNM and/or save. Check the configuration settings.

• BackupExec 2012 Agent for ESXi 5 host?

  We just move from ESX to ESXi 5 4.1.  We find that the BackupExec Agent of Linux is no longer talking to ESXi host 5.

  Just would like to ask you if there are any 2012 BackupExec for ESXi 5 Host Agent?

  Thank you

  As far as I know, we don't have Backup Exec for ESXi host agent. If you want to take a backup of the configuration files to can do this through the vCLI l command vicfg - cfgbackup.p

• Do we need to backup Log / config files for ESXi 5 host?

  Hello

  We just upgraded a 4.1 ESX ESXi 5 host host.

  In ESX 4.1, we receive BackupExec Agent installed and regularly backup/etc and the log files.  Wonder if we still have these backups?  If so, how the server BackupExec speaks to the ESXi 5 host?

  Thank you

  collection of newspapers is most important in that ESX ESXi, because if no SCRATCH partition configured newspapers will be emptied after a reboot.

  For the collection of newspapers

  1. as indicated in the commentary after use Syslog collector to collect newspapers of ESXi.

  2 redirect syslog to a folder in volme VMFS.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2003322

  For the collection of backup/etc, you can use the command of vCLI vicfg-cfgbackup

• VMware ESXi 5 compatiable with ESXi 4 hosts tools?

  If a virtual machine created on ESXi 5 should be migrated to a host ESXi 4, would be the tools work properly?  They are backwards compatiable?

  In addition, ESXi 4 VMware tools will work correctly when migrating to an ESXi 5 host?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Yes, the 4-5 and 5-4 are fully compatible.

  Good luck!

  This virtual Exchange machine works since Esxi version 3.5.  I am testing now vCenter Server 5.0 with version 5.0.1 on the Esxi server.

  Note: I've also been meeting random uses CPU high, leading from Windows Server 2008 to lock up completely.  I have found no trace of problems within the Windows host and Vcenter is not questions.  I have "reset" of the virtual machine in order to get the server back online.  The CPU to the top lock is random and the server can run for days with no problems. * Don't know if it's related...

  I understand that vmotion apply restrictions on the movement of VM compatibility to avoid it.  The components of the HA does not apply to these requirements.  We tested yesterday HA, succsessfully and this how we came to be stuck with the Exchange vm on vmserver2 and it cannot migrate to vmserver1.

  I appreciate your time and consideration,

  It seems that you have two different processor speeds. Try the VCA mode and also check the BIOS version you and make sure they match.
