• Question on ESXi update

  I'm learning to work with ESXi and the element now on my list is the ESXi update.  Since I'm under the version of the device of vCenter, it seems I will need to know how to update via cli.  In the vSphere client, it shows the Image ESXi profile - 5.1.0 - 20130402001-standard.  Because I am running with the version I downloaded VMware, I wasn't sure if I had to apply all the updates, I found. If I go with the 20130402001 as an indication of what version/patch level I fit, it would look like I just need to get the latest patches 3.

  The next question is I do and then apply these in the order they were released or are they cumulative and I only need to apply the last published fix?

  I'm scheduled to go to class 5.1 of ICM in a few weeks, just trying to get a solid base under my feet.

  Thanks for being patient with a beginner,

  It's always a good idea to test things in a lab before their execution in production.

  Take a look at for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008939 for how to install the patch and if the 'install' or 'update' is the best option for your environment.

• 5.5 - ESXi Update 2 vs ESXi 5.5 Rollup 2 Driver

  stupid question Yes day.

  So 5.5 ESXi update 2 is just the updates for Vmware and no driver updates, same base drivers who were in 5.5?

  And 5.5 cumulative 2 driver is the Vmware updates + all new drivers that have been released since 5.5 was released?

  The image of the cumulative hotfix driver includes additional drivers and is supported only for new installations, i.e. not upgrade the host. For details take a look at the Readme document that is available in the download section.

• ESXi Update 2 work with vCenter 5.1 5.1 update 1?

  We had some communication problems this past weekend, and our team Windows have not upgraded vCenter 5.1 update 1 to 2 of the update. While my team upgraded from some of our guests GA 5.1 ESXI Update 2 to fix some bugs. The hosts are still in maintenance mode.

  We heard vCenter must always be a newer version than the hosts. Yet, the VMware compatibility matrix says may manage ESXi 5.1 5.1 vCenter update 1 update 2.

  We use the DRS, HA and 1 FT vm. We distributed switch and switches Standard.

  We will have problems? Which statement is accurate. vCenter must always be a newer version or the matrix?

  Hi Rutager,

  You can manage the host with vCenter 5.1 U1 U2 5.1 ESXi no impact on Production or the DRS HA nothing. Please find the screenshot for your reference

  This shows vCenter version 5.1 U1 can support up to 5.1 U2 ESXi host.

  off experience only question we face is that the Update Manager will not be able to download patches beyond the U1 5.1 patches a few shots in accordance with baseline

  Note: 5.1 U1 and U2 each thing will be same agent FDM. no change in architecture HA

• VSphere ESXi Update 1 to access the data on a USB key.

  I have ESXi Update 1 installed and you want to access the data on a USB key.

  (1) someone could let me know if plug a USB memory stick directly the ESXi server hardware is supported in update 1?

  (2) and/or could someone let me know how I can access files on a sick memory that is attached to the computer on which I have installed client vSphere on (I'm then going to the VM to the server ESXi from this PC).

  I want to just access the files (ona USB key) in the VMs (update information Lic) operating system. Is this possible?

  You will not be able to do, vSphere does not allow access to USB devices.

  You can try VMDirectPath with your USB PCI controllers, but anyway are still not supported.

• ESXi UPdate 3

  OK, here's my problem.  I have a PowerEdge SC440 running 1 GB of RAM (will be 4 GB in the future) with a Core 2 Duo.  My problem is when I try and install ESXi Update 3 from scratch, I get an error saying can't find the drive to install on.  However, when using ESXi Update 2.  It works perfectly.  What is the problem?

  VMware has switched the driver used with ICH7 controllers so Update 3 a drive connected ICH7 is considered an IDE drive.  You can either used a custom oem.tgz to correct file that or this http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_install_to_IDE_drive/ESXi_install_to_IDE_drive.php.

• ESXi update

  am under Esxi 5.0.0 515841

  I have update the Esxi with the keys v Manager Update Center today shows Esxi 5.0.0 1117897

  I think it's 5.0.0.0 u2 can be

  My question is why it was not u1 5.1 upgrade last

  can update us esxi 5.0.0.0 to 5.1 last using the update for the v Center Manager?

  There is difference between patch/update and upgrade. An upgrade (which is version 5.0 to 5.1) you must first upgrade vCenter Server and Manager updated to version 5.1, as vCenter Server 5.0 supports not 5.1 ESXi hosts. Once the server vCenter Server and Update Manager are both set to level, you can create a baseline "Host Upgrade" to upgrade the hosts. Make sure that your hardware is supported before upgrading.

  BTW. always ensure that the hosts and vCenter Server perform ina supported configuration (see the Interoperability matrix product VMware)

• vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

  Hi all

  I have a question to which I did not respond.

  I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

  Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

• ESXi virtual networking question

  Hey everybody,

  I installed Astaro Security Gateway as a virtual machine under ESXi 3.5 Update 3. The installation went successfully and I configured the Astaro to use two VNic (eth0 and eth1). I set up eth0 on the Astaro to use 192.168.2.100

  My question is: how would I be able to access the WebAdmin of this (192.168.2.100:4444) gateway from a remote machine (i.e. my laptop under VI Client)?

  Here are some more in-depth details of config:

  ESXi IP = 192.168.0.187 (provided by our physical switch/DHCP server)

  Under Configuration - & gt; Networking, I see not what follows (see attached photo)

  Help is always greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!!!

  

  You have reason vmnic1 is not used - using the second physical NIC (vmnic1) you will need or create a second virtual sritch by right-clicking on the network link add or by adding the vmnic1 to vswitch0 to create a NIC team.

• iPhone update program Question

  I have read and reread the statement from Apple about its upgrade policy, but I have a few questions for clarification.

  (1) Let's say I buy an iPhone 7 on the upgrade plan.  Whenever I've upgraded to iPhone 8, would that cancel my contract for iPhone 7?  The way he puts it in the explanation seems that you pay only $36,58 per month (128 GB model) for 12 months, for a total of $438,96 in the year and then terminate this contract to adopt a new for iPhone 8.  Is this correct?  This would technically less expensive than payment of time a $749.00 for the same model.

  (2) after you upgrade, you must return the first phone?  Or do you want to keep both?  (Would you be able to sell the first phone to get a deal even better?)

  (3) if I just understand, this upgrade program applies only with the iPhone 7 and 7 more, correct?  Even if you can buy an iPhone 6s on a monthly payment plan, you would be not eligible thereafter to update?

  Thank you very much.

  (1) you must have the iPhone for 12 months-value payments or at least 6 months of ownership before you can trade it. If you trade from 6 to 11 months, you will pay the difference to the total payments for 12 months (if you're in 6 months, then would you still 6 months-value of payments).

  When you trade your current iPhone, she essentially finished that payment of 1 process/loan with citizen Bank and creates a new one for your new iPhone.

  The total cost is the iPhone and AppleCare + divided by 24 months with 0 of interest, so it is the same as for iPhone and AppleCare +. No gain in price, no additional cost.

  (2) Yes, you trade the original iPhone. The only situation where you can keep it if you paid 24 months of payments. Then the iPhone is for you.

  (3) Yes, it applies only to the latest models of iPhone.

• Have to restore the ipod after downloading the update. Question, help please

  Hello!

  I have a large music library on my iTunes and so all my music does not fit on my iPod Classic 160 GB, which is fine.

  I have the latest version (last one that came out) the iPod Classic 160 gb.

  I have the latest version of iTunes.

  I use Windows 7.

  So basically I had no questions for recent years until last week.

  For a long time, I went through my collection of music [in view of SONGS] and placed check marks next to all the songs I want on my ipod.

  It's the way I like it. I have enough free space on my ipod for new music, I get every month so that it works.

  I connect the iPod to iTunes and SYNC my library, and it adds new songs I added to my iTunes library since I'm finally connected.

  Okay - here is the problem.

  Last week, when I connected my iPod Classic to iTunes, I got a saying there was an update to download.

  I am used to what is going on all the time with my iPhone, but I can't remember the last time there was an update for my iPod.

  Intrigued and not think what awkward or troublesome would come from him, I'm agree to download and install the new update.

  When he did download it says that it does not recognize the device (iPod). After searching for hours for help, I finally disconnected, stop, restart and rec-connected my iPod to iTunes.

  He says that he has no music on my iPod. I checked and it was not. He disappeared. ***!?!

  Fortunately, all my music was always in iTunes so I went with my library SYNC (again, I have the titles I want selected already). He said he could only and basically the only option was to reset my iPod to its factory settings. Because the way that my iPod is empty anyway, I thought, fine, so I did. I have restored its original settings.

  Later, I did the same thing after disconnecting. Shut down, restart, clean the cache and the registry, etc and then reconnected the iPod to iTunes. My first thought was maybe I should try to download the update again - since the ipod is empty at this time - what the *, why not - I would rather finish now than get my music on my iPod to be prompted to download new update, and start all over. So I clicked Check For Updates when my iPod was connected to iTunes and it said there is no new update. I don't remember the exact update, but I'm sure it was like 2.05 something, and what I have now (and had before all this happened) was 2.04 or something like that. So does well, no update? No matter what. At this point, I'm SO frustrated - I want just to SYNC my library via checked/selected songs and get back them on my iPod.

  When I went to SYNC, nothing happened.

  So I went to the tab that showed the music and it only gives me the option to SYNC my library of ENSEMBLE music (which is too large and does not fit on my iPod) - OR - I can go through this form on this page and browse and select the ARTISTS that I would like to add.

  It's so frustrating. First of all, I don't want to pass by and re - select all the songs I want to add - the main reason being - he did already - when you click on my library and select the songs view, you can see all the songs that I previously have selected/checked remains unchanged. Second, if I had to do it the way he wants me to all simply by selecting ARTISTS who will not work.

  Sorry for this long crazy question - but basically - how now factory - reset iPod Classic for SYNCING with my iTunes library with the songs of checked/selected, I already have checked - and not to go through and do it by limiting my will and have to select only the artist (not to mention that I did as I want).

  I appreciate any help or insight that someone could offer.

  Much appreciated!

  On the settings screen of the iPod summary (what you see in iTunes when you select iPod), there is a checkbox to Sync only checked songs and videos (wording may be different for your iPod).  Enable (check) this setting in combination with sync entire music library.

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 originally shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on it. I bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and put it out there. Now that I've learned, I can get Windows 10 free on it. Launch day came and the app get Windows 10 indicates the graphics card is not compatible because NVidia has not done yet. I checked the NVidia website and they said to come to support OEM site. HP support site has not updated drivers. Y at - it somewhere that I can get the proper drivers if they exist?

  System Specs:

  Processor: AMD Turion (TM) 64 X 2 Mobile Technology TL-64 2.20 GHz

  2.00 GB installed memory

  32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 7150 M / nForce 630M

  I met the same problem with my laptop. NVIDIA informed me that they will not update the drivers for the NIVIDIA GeForce 7150 M /nForce 630 M. their suggestion was to replace the motherboard or stay with my current operating system.
