ESXi for ESXi Enterprise - no upgrade for you?

I have several hosts running the free version of ESXi 4.0 (recently bought of the enterprise license).  I am now facing update guests properly.  I've heard some people say that you can not simply update ESXi 4.0 to 4.1 Enterprise ESXi hosts.  Which means that I cannot apply the .zip file "Enterprise ESXi 4.1 Update 1 (ZIP of ESXi 4.0 update)" no - Enterprise of ESXi.  In doing so, you would not get the extra features you paid for.  Leaving you stuck with the features of the free version.

If someone could shed some light on whether this would happen, I would be happy.

I'm not sure I quite understand the question... Functions are controlled by license keys.  So, if you have new keys of the company, you just need to add on the tab Configuration - features licensed - change.

As a corporate customer, you will have access to download all upgrade kits

  • Best practices 4U2 for Dell OM VIB for ESXi 4.1 upgrade?

    I am about to begin the upgrade of my guests of U2 4 ESXi 4.1 and am running over old Dell OpenManage VIBs (currently v6.3) on 4U2.  However, I was wondering if there is a proper procedure for the upgrade to 4.1 and update of Dell OM VIBs.  I have not tried yet, so I n; t sure if there was a 'good' way to do to avoid problems.  The Dell site does not mention the upgrade when you install last VIB - explains just how to install.

    • Upgrade to 4.1 and then install the new VIB on the current

    I followed the instructions here (pretty basic) when installing the VIBs first, but I have never done an upgrade of the VIBs.  I guess my main issue is whether it is safer to uninstall and reinstall then install new or just on the top when dealing with VIBs themselves?

    Just looking to see if anyone has experience with this and maybe avoid some headaches, if things go pear shaped

    Hello.

    My experience has been uninstalling and reinstalling works better.  I would remove the VIB before the upgrade.

    Good luck!

  • What upgrade that you would recommend for Web design?

    I currently use an LCD monitor from 19 "to 1280 x 1024.  The monitor still works very well and could continue to be used in my configuration.  I'm looking to upgrade my installation of the monitor to expand my real estate when you work with Adobe products.

    My budget is $ 300 or less.  Search on NewEgg, I can get up to a monitor 28 "for $299.99 with free shipping.

    Most of my work is in the design (GoLive, Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator). Would you recommend I get a single large monitor or add a second 19 "monitor to my installation and make a double screen?

    What resolution do you think would be sufficient?

    As you are looking at an online retailer, you should visit a big local computer store surface to see what resolution is right for you. The first impulse is to shop for the biggest you can afford (and can be powered by your video card). But you must also be careful that the dot pitch is not too dense, you have trouble reading the small print.

  • ESXi 5.1 upgrade to ESXi 6.0 with 2 warehouses of data on the local host

    Hi, I'm a little new for vsphere stuff...

    I currently have a 5.1 ESXi host who I want to spend to 6.0. I did with another host with several virtual machines on which had a unique and just ran data store Installer, robbed the store of current data so it updated the system, but kept all my config and VMs in tact.

    However, with this other host, its data store has been expanded at some point, and rather than extend the data store, they have created an additional.

    So my question is now, if I run the Setup, what data store I point to and there are likely to be problems I might encounter?

    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from someone soon

    Ben

    Hello

    a multiple data store or data store is no question during the upgrade or install ESXi.

    I guess, you start using ESXi Server ISO.

    Select storage (disk or USB/flash storage) where old ESXi is installed during the Installation (upgrade).

    This allows to detect the existing ESXi installation invites you to upgrade instead of doing the new ESXi installation.

    During the upgrade, select preserve existing and upgrade VMFS ' option to make sure that you keep the old virtual machines and old configuration ESXi.

    Thank you

  • Doubts: ESXi ESXi 6.0 upgrade 5.1u1 u1

    Hi all

    I already upgraded my VCSA to version 6.0 and had already deployed VDP 6.0 (in fact, I created a new installation and added my hosts in new VCSA and VDP).

    Now, it's time to upgrade my two 5.1 ESXi hosts. I have some doubts, and maybe you could help me. After you migrate all my virtual machines to another host, put my host in maintenance mode, disable HA and generate a new license to myvmware.com.

    1 - I have a few problems with the Esxi license? Or after upgrade, I just update the licenses and everything will be working well?

    2. after upgrading the first host, my cluster will have a host in version 5.1 and another in version 6.0. Can I make a normal vmotion between these hosts? 3 is a good tip, allow the ESXi host recently updated with VM Tests? To avoid surprises, like the purple screen? 4. it will be mandatory, pass the Vmware tools to all my virtual machines for the HA works?
    5 - can I keep my virtual hardware in version 8? 6 - upgrade VMware tools and virtual material, requires that all VM restarts?

    Thanks a bunch

    1 - I have a few problems with the Esxi license? Or after upgrade, I just update the licenses and everything will be working well?

    After upgrade version 6 of the host, the host starts in trial mode and you have 60 days to assign a vSphere license 6 to the host.

    2. after upgrading the first host, my cluster will have a host in version 5.1 and another in version 6.0. Can I make a normal vmotion between these hosts?

    Yes.

    3 is a good tip, allow the ESXi host recently updated with VM Tests? To avoid surprises, like the purple screen?

    The first recommendation is to check if your host is on HCL for version 6, this audit will already prevent some problems. And if you can run a few days with the host improved with test VM, I think are a good idea.

    4. it will be mandatory, pass the Vmware tools to all my virtual machines for the HA works?

    Not mandatory but recommended, see: is a vSphere VMware Tools upgrade required during the upgrade? - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

    5 - can I keep my virtual hardware in version 8?

    Yes and my recommendation is to upgrade if you're going to use the new features.

    6 - upgrade VMware tools and virtual material, requires that all VM restarts?

    Yes material virtual, but VMware Tools depends, see: details on the VMware tools (time zero) 5.1 - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles of VMware vSphere 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.

  • How is the new Forum Structure working for you?

    I just wanted to ask how the escape of CS5, then other versions of PrPro/Pr work for you.

    Although not all that keen on the idea, I must say it seems to work very well. I've seen a few posts in the wrong places, although some might be better suited to the material.

    My fears were NOT carried, then I'm glad that the power never consulted me, as I would have probably denied inches. Initial comments indicate that I would have been wrong.

    What do you think?

    PS - don't forget, 'points' are folk here!

    The forums have been working well before and are still.

    When I'm not in Outlook but webmail (which was most of the weekend), I can't follow anything other than CS5, material, and again - all CS4, CS3 etc have such a long subject line, starting with "[Premiere Pro CS4 and (State earlier version number.)]". Re: ', that I do not see what is 'true'.  It wasn't a huge problem before, because the forums under this prefix long subject were the pre Pro and had very low activity.  I didn't like it when the MODs added, but it was a small amount of positions.

    I never tried the web working list of base/forum type because Jive indigestion is ridiculously slow on all my systems.  I suffer through it to post, because I don't like the e-mail response system.  E-mail review is fast and efficient for me.

    Should I again this did fix the read system / flag?  I remember the concerns on this subject so Jive was first released, but did not care.

    I still use CS3, bought CS4 and the free upgrade to CS5, but they will not load until I have an update of the material.  But I have always followed all the forums first.  Tiz is so frustrating.

Help me please if you can because I have a slow internet connection and I want to play video at 240, as it was before. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Could check you whether YouTube is to serve its HTML5 player or the player based on Flash? If you right click on the drive, short a context menu should appear. If the full Firefox context menu is displayed, press and release the ALT key to erase that. The last line of the menu short usually indicates which player he is.

    I'll assume HTML5 because...

    On Windows 7, Firefox should show a wide range of formats in the HTML5 player. However, if some of the features of media are disabled, preventing video MP4 decoding, then YouTube offers only 360 p (with WebM coding).

    If you have intentionally disabled Media Foundation and/or DirectShow in topic: config, then perhaps you would prefer to use the YouTube Flash Player? There are a few Add-ons that can force YouTube to serve you a Flash drive. Either of them will do, you don't need both:

    12.4.2.4 iTunes

    With Apple's music subscription, I am browsing inside the tab "for you." There is no button to take me directly to the page by default "for you" main see you playlists and albums selected for your taste.

    The only way to get there is by using the ' back' button on the left and the high if iTunes, which is a real pain, because it works as a browser, to get to where you have just before, so if you've been suspended for different pages for half an hour, you may need to click on dozens of times to return to the home page.

    Please see the image as an attachment, I searched the last album of Daft Punk, chosen. I'm under the tab "for you", there is no button to go home. I have to click several times on the ' back' button on the left corner of the tab bar.

    Is there another way to go to Homepage?
