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

• ESXi 4.1 update 1 and Raid 3ware 9550SX card

  As the title says, I'm trying to get a raid 3ware 9550sx card work with ESXi 4.1 update 1.  I tried to load the drivers from the card via the CLI and in the end, received a message "host not was not updated, no change not required.  Newsletter from skip AMCC_2.26.08.035vm40; It is installed or obseleted. »

  However, when I try to find the raid controller of adapters for storage, the VIClient Configuration tab, I don't see it.  I do something wrong, is the driver included in this version of ESXi (I'm on a new installation started from a USB key) or is there another step after installing the driver I am skipping until I can see the map and use drives connected to it?

  Thanks for any help,

  Ryan

  Well, I have work.

  Here's what I had to do:

  Follow the instructions here free: http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15548.aspx

  They are a little dated, but they get the essential overall.

  He suggested significant changes to the CLI:

  Add a c - to order.

  So, I found myself running:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin > vihostupdate.pl perl-Server x.x.x.x - root username - password rootpassword - b D:\Sandbox\3ware\offline-bundle.zip-i c

  Regarding the out-of-line-bundle used: take the file listed for the 9550 for ESX(I) non - here: http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15753.aspx#vmware

  There should be a link to VMware_noncertified_ESX_and_ESXi_4.0_GA_4.0_u1_4.1_GA_4.1_u1_driver_and_twcli_for_9500s_9550sxu.zip

• ESXi 4.1 Update 1 and material update 4 to 7 cards of network breaks vCenter.

  I installed ESXi 4.1 update 01 on 2 servers.  Then I updated the hardware version of all servers in version 4 to 7.  Now the vCenter has no network adapters!  Research in the Windows Device Manager indicates Intel E1000 adapters with a yellow exclaimation point.  Try updating the drivers doesn't produce a message that says that the drivers are up to date.  All other Windows servers work correctly with their network cards, just the Windows 2008 R2 64-bit vCenter server is not able to connect to a network.

  Hope someone has an answer.  Called VMware support, but they will call back within 8 hours.

  You can check 'NIC hidden' and then delete them if they exist as described in article 1179 KB.

• Upgrade VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 2 VMware ESXi 6.0

  Hello I am running my PowerEdge T110 II with VMware ESXi 6.0 - Dell customized image. I see that from April 15, 2016 Dell just introduced VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 2 and I'd like to update my system.

• Update Server VC and 5.5 ESXi hosts to update 3 b (Build 3248547)

  I'm in vCenter Server 5.5 and 5.5 ESXi hosts.  Both are updated 3A, patched to version 201510001, which is the build 3116895.  I plan the upgrade of update 3 b (Build 3248547) and I'm a little confused on the question of SSLv3.

  I wonder if this point below ESXi55 U3b & VC 55U3b Known Issues applies to my config:

  ESXi does not automatically added to the inventory of the vCenter servers
  If you install an earlier version of vCenter Server and vSphere Update Manager for ESXi 5.5 updated 3B, then after the task of sanitation, ESXi does not automatically added to the VC inventory. Remediation process never gets done and ESXi State of connection in the VC inventory is presented as disconnected. Solution: When you restart ESXi after reorganization process is started, enable SSLv3 on ESXi (which is disabled by default). This will ensure that ESXi is added to the VC inventory automatically in minutes and sanitation as completed.

  If I'm reading things correctly, upgrade to vCenter Server to 3 b first and then upgrade the ESXi hosts, will avoid lost communication problems.  Can anyone confirm?

  It should be good if you update vCenter first.

  The problem is that pre - U3b vCenter 5.5 forces an SSLv3 connection when connecting to an ESXi host on port 443 (not the reverse). It does this, even if the host ESXi and vCenter SSL/TLS libraries actually support TLS 1.0 + since at least vSphere 4.0.

  So when you update one host to 5.5 U3b, the oldest vCenter again will try to force a connection SSLv3 that will fail, since SSLv3 has been disabled to the host. If you're updating vCenter, first of all, it will initiate a good TLS 1.0 + connection to more similar and updated hosts.

  Here is an explanation of the (pre - U3b) vCenter SSLv3 handshake behavior:

• Upgrade of the 3 HP VMware ESXi 5.1 update kills Emulex network and cannot be cancelled?

  People,

  I have a serious issue here after the upgrade of the HP Blade 465 BL c G7 with adapter Emulex NC551i double Port FlexFabric 10 Gb..

  The problem: after the successful online update of ESXi 5.1 Update 2 Patch 5 (2000251) in ESXi 5.1 update 3 (2323236) the ESXi server cannot be crazy, or it can ping to the outside network, so she doesn't have to reconnect to the VCenter server.

  Software/Firmware version:

  The version before the upgrade of the server are:

  ~ # ethtool-i vmnic0

  pilot: be2net

  version: 10.2.293.0

  firmware version: 4.9.416.2

  bus-info: 0000:04:00.0

  ~ #

  Since the version above does not work, I managed to download VMW-ESX-5.1.0-be2net-10.2.477.20-offline_bundle-2541837.zip for upgrade the driver VMNic in: 10.2.477.20 but still after the update and restart the network is not able-ping.

  ROLLBACK:

  I also tried to restore to previous work ESXi Server version 2000251 to the help of SHIFT-R but the ESXi server still restart as 2323236 with a network that still worked.

  
  

  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated without having to reconfigure the settings of ESXi and the configuration of the switch distributed from scratch.
  

  According to the recipe of HP/VMware here: http://vibsdepot.hp.com/hpq/recipes/HP-VMware-Recipe.pdf

  There is a note about the NC551i:

• 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.

• Personalized Cisco ESXi 5.5 Update 2 Image

  When can we expect to see the new custom image ESXi 5.5 Update 2? I just checked VMWare site and I see 1 update but not update 2.  Is there a method of supported / recommended update servers UCS to ESXi 5.5 Update 2 in the meantime?

  Thank you

  (1) use this utility to understand what enic / fnic is necessary. EG.for U2 5.5 ESXi

  Driver = 1.6.0.12 (FNIC) / 2.1.2.59 (ENIC)
  Adapter = 2.2 Firmware (3)

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  (2) install ESXi 5.5 U2, iso regular (Non OEM version) of the VMware Web site

  (3) get the fnic above / enic pilot since an ISO image of the UCS-based drivers 
  UCS-bxxx - drivers. 2.1.3d.iso

  (4) update the fnic/enic driver manually with either CLI or VUM.

• using vmware update manager to update Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 update 3

  I use put vmware update manager (VUM) up-to-date Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 updated 3. The Dell build was published on 11/13/15.

  The results of the baseline VUM are attached. I was surprised that some older patches from 2014 are suggested, and even complete full update and 2 update 3. Is a common practice to just update with whataver MUV said, or is it best to get VUM to apply the patches after the date of release of a version of the seller?

  If missing the update you must certainly apply. I'm just going by what suggests Manager Update and apply all the patches.

• USB or HDD space for new server ESXi 5.5 updated 3 current enforcement?

  Hello

  We get a new DELL server to run ESXi 5.5 update 3.

  Just find out there is an embedded version of ESXi 5.5 update 3 on a USB is connected.

  We would like to know what meaning it is best to run ESXi - USB or Local HARD disk?  I think that if she runs on the Local HARD disk, we can remote access via DRAC card.   In addition, we do not use any local HD (i.e. no VSAN) and so there is no loss if VMware runs on the HD.

  Your opinion is requested.

  
  Thank you

  Hello.

  With ESXi on USB/SD is supported by VMware, so no problem here. Remember that if you use these devices, you'd probably set the partition scratching at some storage 'persistent '. I personally use one of the data stores for all guests, I have it in one place.

  I don't understand why you assuming that through a port USB as a boot device will not provide access to DCUI via the DRAC? Boot device has no importance here...

  So, to answer your question: you

• Configuration of VLAN for vMotion (ESXi 5.1 update 3)

  Hello

  We use a cluster of ESXi 5.1 updated 3 guests with Enterprise Edition.

  Finally, our network is being upgraded and VLAN will be created for vMotion.  Currently, we use the local network for the management and vMotion (I know that's not good).

  Network administrator asks me to provide information concerning the requirement of the VLAN for vMotion.

  Is there any Document KB I can refer to mentioning that the administrator must put in place in the physical switch and I need to change in each vSwitch for vMotion on all ESXi hosts?

  Thank you

  Belong to your network administrator if it can link your vmotion IP to the same vlan that he will provide den it's possible.

  Otherwise, you will have to go to the configuration of your network administrator. so it can provide you the IP for the ports of vmotion.

  I tried this in my lab and I see the same thing.

  Selection of RHEL 7 as guest operating system is available in the Web Client. See screenshot below
