• 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.

• Version number VMware update manager

  I want to install vmware updatemanager, but it displays: this server vcenter isn't compatile with vmware Update Manager.

  My version of vcenter server is: 5.1.0 build 123532

  My 08 R2 64-bit system

  I want to use vmware update manager update my vmware environment. So what version of MUV is necessary the download, thanks!

  Yes, you can download 5.5 and the environment 5.1 to 5.5.

  You will need to start by vCenter, then ESXi hosts.

  After you are done before the two, you can go ahead and install VUM.

  Another option is to upgrade vCenter, install VUM and then upgrade of servers using AUVS.

• The downloaded update package cannot be used with vSphere VMware Update Manager

  Hello

  I am improving a system of vmware (Vcenter + 3 host) of 5.1 to 5.5

  I did a reinstall total Manager Vcenter and updated to version 5.5, using a new database.

  Then, I want to update my hosts with Update Manager.

  When I download VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64 in Update Manager, I get the message: cannot use the update package downloaded with vSphere VMware Update Manager

  
  

  I also tried to import VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.1 (Build: 1065491) but I get the same error

  In my view, the vmware KB2009812 is not applicable, because I've updated UDM first to 5.5

  Any idea?

  thx a lot

• M1000 and R 620 blades/VMWare Update Manager

  Small question:

  I need to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi hosts.  I'll use the VMWare Update Manager to perform the upgrade to my hosts, who are servers in a M1000 r.620 chassis.  What I need to download the .iso in VMWare ESXi ESIi specific Dell 5.5 5.5 or can I use disc VMWare 5.5?

  I did not upgrade since the original install and we used the Dell disk at this time here because he had the pilots but thought that with the Update Manager, I wouldn't need to use the specific Dell disk now.

  Thank you.

  You can use.

  Be sure to upgrade your vCenter and Update Manager 5.5 before attempting to upgrade the hosts.

  The image of ESXi 5.5 vanilla of VMware and Dell 'branded' start ESXi 5.5 of the same image.

  However, Dell adds drivers and additional sensors.

  I would recommend going with the image of Dell.

• How to use the Update Manager

  I'm going to update ESXi 5.5 hosts my cluster but I know Update Manager component, so I ask if it is possible to host unique patch so that I can test VM on it and then to extend the update to the other guests.

  Can you offer me to apply all updates or it is usually to give priority to the security updates? I use Vmware image of HP because my hosts are server blades Proliant.

  How can I start? You have to suggest the quick start guide?

  Update Manager downloads the list of patches available from vmware.com. To configure the frequency of the update of the repository, click on House. Click the Update Manager icon. On the Configuration tab, click Patch download calendar.

  To view the scheduled task Patch download, click Homepage > scheduled tasks > VMware vCenter Update Manager Update to download.

  
  Notes:

  • To manually run this task, right-click the task, click run.

  • When you run the task, see task Download Patch definitions in the these last tasks.

  • If the download Patch definitions task fails, make sure that Update Manager can reach vmware.com. For more information

  To set baselines to the ESX host:

  1. Click home > hosts and Clusters.

  2. Highlight the ESX host, you want to update, and then click the Update Manager .

  3. Click on Attach. Select host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click attach.

     Note: to create basic custom lines click home > Update Manager > planning and groups > Create.

  To analyze the ESX host for missing patches on the repository, right-click on the ESX host and click find updates > patches and Extensions > Scan.

  Notes:

  • Scan progress is displayed by The entity of Scan task in the recent tasks.

  • The analysis of the host does not affect running virtual machines.

  • If parsing fails, make sure that the ports between Update Manager and the ESX host is open. For more information, seerequirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

  • When the analysis is complete, you will see the number of missing patches on the ESX host. If some patches are missing, you see Compliant.

  To restore the missing patches to the ESX host:

  1. Turn off all the virtual machines or vMotion them to another ESX host.
  2. Place the ESX host in maintenance mode. Right click on the ESX host, choose to enter the Maintenance Modeand click on Yes.
  3. Right-click on the ESX host and choose clean > host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click Next.
  4. Choose which updates or patches to install, click Next > Next > Finish.

  Notes:

  • Progress of sanitation are illustrated by the task of the principal remedy in the recent tasks.

  • This task could take some time as Update Manager starts to download the patches to the vmware.com website.

  • If the restore fails, ensure that Update Manager, ESX host, and vmware.com ports are open. For more information, see requirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

• The ESX host could restart after complete rehabilitation.

• Using VMWare Studio 2.6.0 to manage virtual machines on a host ESXi 4.1.0

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem connecting to our 4.1.0 ESXi host using VMWare Studio 2.6.0 (and it is quite possible that the problem is that I'm badly understand what VMWare Studio is supposed to provide). What I would do is create/configure/manage the virtual machines on our ESXi server from within Eclipse, similar to what I can do with vSphere client. However, when I open the Explorer of VMware Studio and try to set up the connection, I still get the error message "Connection to xxx.xxx.xxx failed. Difficulty of connection settings and try again or cancel. "I use the default port of 5480 number and the same references that I use in the vSphere client.

  So, my questions are: I use the incorrect port number? I am using a configuration that is known not only not for work (ESXi 4.1.0 + VMWare Studio 2.6.0)? Or am I completely misunderstanding what VMWare Studio and is not?

  Please specify!

  I think you misunderstand what did the Studio. It's simply a VM construction kit. Once created, the OVF Studio is out of the picture. He does, eventually, put some components in the virtual machine to manage addresses network, proxies, updates, etc. but above all, he was only VMs.

  The Eclipse of Studio plugin is simply another user interface in the Studio build system and will work only if it points to a Studio running. It will not serve the goal of the vSphere client.

• ESXi 4 upgrade by using 2 update

  Hi, we would like to update our esxi servers 4 with update 2, we have not installed update 1.

  We will have a very difficult time to know what is exactly the process. We downloaded "Update server ESXi 4.0 for ESXi 4.0 Update 2.zip Server package" I tried to use Host Update Utility, but it does not work.

  We were able to successfully apply the update 2 to VCentre.

  We have 5 guests and they run VMware ESXi, 4.0.0 164009 and VMware ESXi, version 4.0.0 181792.

  If anyone has a simple walkthru, it would be most appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Since you're using vCenter using ESXi update Update Manager

• Installation of the Client VMware Update Manager 6.0 not in the installation menu

  I played a bit with a VMware 6.0 default installation and everything has been installed. After I finished I could not find a way to configure the Update Manager. It was available in the webclient service, but still there is no way (AFAIK) to go to "Admin View" here.

  So I installed the client vSphere 6.0 via the menu autorun and worked well. I found a few screenshots to another installation of VUM and there was a separate button "VUM Client" installation in the automatic menu which I did not.

  After reviewing the DVD, I found the Setup file Z:\updateManager\VMware-UpdateManager.msi, after installing it the VUM Client is available.

  I used VMware-VIMSetup-all - 6.0.0 - 2562643.ISO as an installation source.

  It is normal to do it like that or if the option "VUM customer" is somehow forgotten in the automatic menu? I wonder if you guys probably noticed the same thing.

  Just a plug in c# if I not mistaken, just need him.  Believe me, c# is where you can actually get stuff done unless its something that is deliberately omitted in order to make this horrible thing

• If the patch management can be done by VMware Update Manager in vCenter Server Appliance as similar vCenter Server

  Hi friends,

  If patches of the host management can be done through Vmware Update manager vCenter Server Appliance as in vCenter Server.

  Tell me other differences between them...

  Kind regards

  Sirot Vijay

  1. Yes we can connect to the device using the vSphere client.

  2. in the installation of the update manager VCenter information will ask and he will automatically fit no special measures required.

  3. no conflict. Its just like you have two vCenter servers, but you can not have two server vCenter managing the same hosts.

• Update boot entry automatic using vmware-vim-cmd (or vmware-vimsh)

  Hello

  Is there an example of how update the automatic start-up using vmware-vim-cmd input.

  The problem that I am running is

  1. when I type

  VMware-vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 16 powerOn-1 1-1 systemDefault systemDefault

  When 16 is one of my VMIds, I get the following

  Invalid option '1'

  Use: update_autostartentry VMId StartAction StartDelay StopAction StopDelay WaitForHeartbeat Strafpkt

  I can't understand what the invalid option '1'.

  Here's what I've done so now

  1. research in the communities for examples. There are a few messages, but none seem to provide real-world examples of work (beyond the use of message)

  2. I found this link http://pubs.vmware.com/vi-sdk/visdk250/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.AutoStartManager.AutoPowerInfo.html who talks about what type of entry it is pregnant. I tried double quoting and only citing the parameters of xsd: String, but that did not work either

  3. I tried the particular settings (including the xsd: int) doublequoting, which did not work either

  Anyone successful with this? If so could you please post a real example.

  Here's what I'm trying to accomplish

  1 activate Autostart - I did that using

  / usr/bin/VMware-vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/enableautostart true

  2. get all VMIds in the system

  I did it with the following command and awk script

  / * Awk script * /.

  BEGIN {}

  FS = ""

  NR 1 >

  }

  {

  If (NR == 1) {}

  #ignore header

  }

  else {}

  1. $1 has VMIds

  Print $1

  }

  }

  / * End awk script * /.

  Then run/bin/awk f /root/autostart.awk

  3. instead of printing on $1, I would like to add the virtual machines to the list using the following

  a. start-up delay = systemdefault

  start-up (b) action = poweron

  c. start order = 1, 2, 3, 4 (do not need help with AWK script), I can post once I have that.

  d. stopaction, stopdelay etc. - leave at the default system (or - 1 as the pubs suggested link)

  I'm sure that there are more effective and these ways to do this, I need to follow this approach for a specific reason.  I was wondering if someone can help me with the syntax correct for vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/enable_autostart please?

  Thanks for your help!

  -Vermorel

  It seems that the problem is with you using -1 as input for StartDelay and StopDelay,-1 is not a valid entry that I tested, and you must specify either systemDefault or a time interval.

  I created 4 VMS dummy on ESXi 4.0 host and did the following and it worked:

  Enable auto-start through vimsh (vim - cmd)

  ~ #  vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/enable_autostart 1
  Enabled AutoStart
  

  Adjustment of the 1st virtual machine:

  ~ # vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 1264 "PowerOn" "15" "1" "systemDefault" "systemDefault" "systemDefault"
  
  1Updated AutoStart order.
  

  Definition of the 2nd VM:

  ~ # vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 1232 "PowerOn" "15" "2" "systemDefault" "systemDefault" "systemDefault"
  
  2Updated AutoStart order.
  

  Definition of the 3rd VM:

  ~ # vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 1280 "PowerOn" "15" "3" "systemDefault" "systemDefault" "systemDefault"
  
  3Updated AutoStart order.
  

  Definition of the 4th VM:

  ~ # vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 1264 "PowerOn" "15" "4" "systemDefault" "systemDefault" "systemDefault"
  
  4Updated AutoStart order.
  

  You can manually set the automatic start/stop by using the vSphere Client and using the following command to retrieve the config:

  vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/get_autostartseq
  

  which can then be used as a basis to set the configuration.

• BlackBerry Smartphones New - fatal error during the first update by using the Office Manager phone

  During my first update using the Desktop Manager, there were 13 steps, and I had to unplug to half way through.

  Now when I try to repeat the process, the update gets steps 1-6 and just after reconnecting to JVM (step 6) I get a "fatal error update device software, please try again" I tried several times and it always stops in the same place.  The phone then has the radio turned off, and I have to restore the connections.

  I'm not an irritable person, so any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!!!

  Never disconnect during an update. Never.

  This is therefore a new phone, follow the instructions below.

  First, remove the battery from the BlackBerry when lit, to subject a minuite, replace and see if it restarts. If this is not the case, continue below.

  First find your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.
  http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

  1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
  2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
  3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
