ESXi 5.1 update 1 - attach the Update Manager?

Similar Questions

• I have a question about the ESXi upgrade using Update Manager...

  This is probably a stupid question, but I've never played and update ESXi using Update Manager.  We need to update ESXi ESXi 4.1 4.1 servers before vCenter 5.0 U1 from U2 (there is a known issue where the ESXi 4.1 servers receive the GROUP after upgrading vCenter to 5.0 U1).  We used HP ESXi image to install ESXi on our servers for new installations.  This image contains ESXi.1 U2 as well as the drivers of HP and CIM.

  4.1_U2_Oct_2011_ESXi_HD - USB-SDImgeInstlr_Z7550 - 00241.iso

  Can this same image HP ESXi 4.1 U2 that we used to install to new ESXi servers, be used to upgrade our 4.1 4.1 U2 ESXi servers using the Update Manager?  Or, upgrade package should be used for the upgrade?  Also, if an upgrade package must be used, is it OK to use one provided by VMware, or will be losing our HP specific drivers and CIM to do this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can import custom HP ESXi 4.1 U2 ISO in Update Manager (don't forget to use the latest version of June 2012, available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06) and update the hosts with her.

  In a second step, you can then import the last custom HP ESXi ISO 5.0 (available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM09) and update the hosts again with her.

  To be on the current ESXi 5.0 patch level you finally apply the latest patches from VMware via the Update Manager.

  Hi, I am facing a problem, I have 6 esx servers vsphere 4 (esx 4 & vc & updatemanager) in the LAN & ESXI 2 in a demilitarized zone, no problem to update the ESX 4 in the local network, but the ESXI I DMZ fail with 'Scan esxdmz1.xxx.xx host entity is unable to download files from the VMware vCenter Update Manager patch store.  "Check firewall configuration and network connectivity and verify the logsfor details.virtualcenter VCENTER esxupdate" clearly, some ports are missing, but I did find something clear.

  If you can help

  Thank you Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  ESX is unable to download the patches himself. VUM downloads which is necessary to its repository and then sends the ESX patches. Thank you for the assessment of my answer.

• ESXi upgraded via Update Manager can now access data store.

  I had an old (Dell Optiplex GX620) office that was running ESXi 3.5 U1 maybe? (It was installed just after the big deal on the closing date set for esxi).  He had a store of data on SATA drive mount, which worked very well.

  After updating to the latest version of ESXi through Update Manager, he can no longer see theVM on the data store...

  I get a warning that says "VMware ESX Server has no persistent storage", but when I look at the disk in the storage of the configuration tab section, he clearly ShowAs seen a VMFS to 144 GB partition.  When I have the Browse, it seems to show a few newspapers files and nothing else.

  Is it possible to return these VM?

  They are not critical, but it would be good to know how to save files from a VMFS partition...

  Welcome to the forums.

  Same thing happened to me when I updated to ESXi 3.5 U3.

  The ICH7 chipset is now supported differently.

  You will need to edit the oem.tgz file to include the Intel ICH7.

  Here's what I did to solve the problem.

• ESXI 4.0 Update 1 and 2

  I have a two nodes in the cluster running ESXI 4.0. I have the cluster managed by Vcenter 4.1 running Update Manager. I try to use Manager Update to patch my nodes to update 1 and 2.  Whenever I try to import the ISO it fails. I am told that this update manager cannot verify checksums. It is possible to update ESXI 4.0 Update 1 and 2 using the Update Manager?

  You should not download the media in MUV.  Just create a patch for U2 host base and attach it to your host.  U2 is out on 10/06/2010. If you can take a walk or after that date.  There are also patches of U2 released 09/30/10

  Does anyone know if the R610 is compatible with the recovery Image VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1? It is not on the compatibility list, but the r.620 is there. We use two servers in our VMWare environment and I want to upgrade to 5.1 U1.

  Seems that it's a typo. Engineering has responded that it is supported.

• 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.

• Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

  That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

  The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

  Your answers are greatly appreciated.

  Please, tell me if I understand you:

  Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

  If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with Update Manager - disconnect SAN?

  Just noticed a patch was released for ESXi 4.1, if I deploy this hotfix with Update Manager, do I have to disconnect the SAN in order to install the host?  ESXi make his case of scanning for unformatted volumes and format when it restarts first after being patched?
