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.

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.

Hello.

The store still works?
Thanks in advance.Please check this thread:

I created a folder music on an external hard drive connected to my asus router. I copied my music from my iTunes library in this folder access and can now my kodi media network. How I updated the folder when I do new iTunes purchase without having to do it one by one thanks
You can use a backup tool that updates only modified files. You don't say what kind of computer you use.
ITunes is actively using media on the external hard drive so you can replace it. Simply copy the media to one other player does not have iTunes it use it. iTunes is probably still using media to your internal drive.

VM upgrade with Update Manager - how to tie yourself to the base line of tools
I'm upgrading from the tools of Virtual Machines on one of our servers ESX - ESX8.
There are several virtual machines (10-20). I tried to reach the default baseline provided with vSphere (VMware Tools upgrade to Match) on the ESX Server and the VMware tools to upgrade, to Match database does not appear.
The vShpere update #2 video series shows the user using a folder it created in the virtual machine and discovers patterns with all virtual machines of Xp in a folder.
He joined upgrade VMware tools to Match base and scans and corrects all Xps.
If I go to the virtual machine and view models and I see short folder Vms, VMs, templates, etc.
But the associated virtual machines seem to be in alphabetical order and not in an order that associates them with ESX8.
If I create a folder under the folder open VMs and try to move the virtual machines associated with ESX8 in the folder, it does not work.
I even tried to create a new database and tried to add to the game, but always VMware tools upgrade not can link it to the host.
Is there a way to get the Update Manager to work at the level of the host with the host ESX8, so I can join VMware Tools upgrade ESX8 game database and update tools?
Otherwise, the update of all virtual machines manually by connecting the base to each line take very long.
Thank you
Create your custom (depending on model and VM) folder, move the virtual machine and fix the base line here.

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.
