How many ways to update host ESX/ESXi

To my understanding there are 3 ways of updating ESX/ESXi host.

  • VMware Update Manager
  • VMware host utility update
  • vihostupdate


VUM - update host, vm, vApps and models (this one I'm sure)

VMware host update utility - only update the host?

vihostupdate - can do the same thing as VUM and the only difference is that it is a command line interface?


Is there a VMware document that I can read on this.  I ask this because I am preparing for the VCP 4 exam.  At the place I work, we use vSphere 5 and we don't have never upgrade from 3.x to vSphere 4.


Thanks for the pointers and have a nice day.


Anthony.

Even if the differences are rated you always want to go with the mist release current which the VCP exam covers - so the 4.1 update guide -.

  • in how many ways could connect a different company of telepresence?

    Hi all

    I am new in the field of video conferencing and telepresence.

    I would like to know how many ways there are to log to a different company to do a telepresence session.

    Currently I am an infrastructure management of telepresence in which all the other location are 30 Km away and are all part of the same intranet.
    Obviously, we have a VCSC and VCSe and a MCU.

    If I do not have an intranet, and I want to connect to a different location, how can I do? VPN? Is it possible to use only the public internet?

    for example, if I have 3 location (200 km) and each location offers free SSDL (declining from 4 Mbps to 4 Mbps), can I connect them?
    I thought to use for example a VCS Espress starter pack in one place and 3 codec SX20.
    Is it possible to have a 720 p call given the distances?

    Just to add to the comment of the juriss; be sure to include 20% overhead for each call, when you calculate the bandwidth you can use. I.e. for a 768 Kbps call, you will need a minimum of 922 kbps available b & w.

    I would create a separate subfield on the VCS E existing for these systems to register, allowing you to specify the b/w max available within the area, as well as max eligible b & w by appeal. This way you won't have to worry about potential problems caused by a connection at a higher rate.

  • How many sites can I host on 1 account Business Catalyst

    How many sites can I host on 1 account Business Catalyst?

    According to the old system of void adobe you get;

    (fully supported) launched 5 websites as part of the full Scott... a student sub gets 1 and they also have 1 with each Muse or Dreamweaver as a stand alone.

    In addition to this, you get temporary venues without end that remain for at least a year... ime that some of them are still in place after 3 years, but the idea is just a fast site that someone can see what you are working on.

    Adobe has decided to change this presentation more if system sub to them before you sign up...

    PS you can have a number any launched sites on your Adobe account, but they are not free.

  • import a class: how many ways are there? CFC, import, extend the base class

    How many ways is there to import a class and am I confused

    1 screen/public class extends MovieClip

    This inherits all the properties and methods of the MovieClip class so WHY again do we use: import flash.display.MovieClip;

    Import something else or just made the job twice

    2 import flash.display.MovieClip - so no need to extend (repeat me once again - see 1)

    3 CFCS: connect to a CFC

    4. stir in a SWF with a meta tag

    5. in the properties panel menu - add a class as a base class

    OMG - a bit confusing

    You can only "extend" another class if the compiler knows where he is.

    The import statement is only by the compiler to find the class on your hard drive.

    It is not "import" of the entire class in the sense that you import a BMP in Photoshop.

  • How many ways can you call JSP of OBPM

    Hi all
    I just wanted to know how many ways we can call the JSP Page of BPM.
    1. call component Interactive BPM
    2. ?.

    Thank you
    Sunil.

    When you use a jsp, user interaction page only. and in all cases, you need to call the interactive component.

    It is the only way that you can use a jsp page in OBPM.

    However, an interactive activity of bpm - you can also choose external as implementation type.

    To do this, you must have your reference of the source jsp code added as an external resource in the project and the external resource must be specified during Setup when the definition of implementation type.

  • How many virtual servers by host machine?

    Hello

    Another question, is there a method to determine how many virtual machines that I can host on one computer? Many people seem to ask this question, but I'm yet to find one another answer that wave "between 10 and 20 virtual machines" or "up to 50 vms' if I know what are my physical features and I know what operating systems and applications I don't want run on virtual servers, is there a way to calculate whether my hardware will be able to host virtual machines?

    If you own adobe creative cloud try this step. ((1) rename the new adobe updater in/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud cc / VAC 2) now, you can start the old a 3) nename the new adobe updater application return normal file name cc.

  • Best way to go to ESX ESXi

    I installed ESX 4 Trail on a host with the intentions to throw some virtual machines on it for testing only.   Of

    course always go as non-scheduled plans for the finished VMS used long term testing.  The trial of

    ESX expires soon, so I start looking into my options for this configuration.

    We have a different configuration of ESX 3.5 with 3 guests and an iSCSI SAN shared storage environment.   We do not have

    have an immediate plan to upgrade this 4.0 but will appear in the next quarter or two, I hope.

    My question is what would be the best plan to move that 3 VMs on I have currently on the ESX 4 4i ESX host in the interim until I have install

    4 on the production environment.

    I tried to use the VM converter for V7 V4 to hardware to run on ESX 3.5 hosts, but it caused a lot of disk

    questions for windows that I have been unable to correct.

    My understanding is that installation on ESX ESXi will wipe away all my outgoing partitions that will be deleted.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are two options, depending on your environment.

    What you basically have to do is to restore backup (with a few options) virtual machines.

    1.) If you have enough space on your iSCSI storage space, move the virtual machine to your storage space. Install ESXi and attach it to the iSCSI storage.

    (2) in the case of a server and you have a little empty bays for HARD drives, add a new example RAID1 group, make primary to boot from, the ESXi installation and joining the existing data store "old."

    3.) temporarily add an another HARD drive, copy of the VM on the HARD drive using the data store Navigator. Install ESXi and copy the virtual machine on the new data store.

    4.) backup and restore the virtual computer.

  • In how many ways, we can create new document and how implements this ways?

    I found that we can create a new document in 3 ways

    (1) using an application session object, the document list as follows

    InterfacePtr < IApplication > firstdoc (GetExecutionContextSession ()-> QueryApplication());

    InterfacePtr < IDocumentList > docList (firstdoc-> QueryDocumentList());

    docList-> NewDoc (25089, IDataBase::ProtectionLevel.kProtectSave, nil);

    but in this case I do not get how to use newdoc method it is to say what parameter we pass (not yet clear the name of API reference)

    (2) using the command

    InterfacePtr < IApplication > firstdoc (GetExecutionContextSession ()-> QueryApplication());

    InterfacePtr < IDocumentList > docList (firstdoc-> QueryDocumentList());

    InterfacePtr < ICommand > new1(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kNewDocCmdBoss));)

    UIDList asd (docList);

    New1-> SetItemList (asd);

    CmdUtils::ProcessCommand (new1);

    (3) bu using an interface util or façade

    Utils < IDocumentCommands > ()-> new (...)

    in this case also, I am not geeting how to use the new method

    I have try all this method but none of them work .i knew I made a mistake in all these method please correct me where I'm wrong.

    Main problem is in the first parameter of method newdoc IE what is class id, how to use

    1. Add to your project "SDKLayoutHelper.cpp", "SDKLayoutHelper.h".

    2. #include "SDKLayoutHelper.h".

    Insert the code:

    {}

    SDKLayoutHelper helper;

    UIDRef docRef is helper. CreateDocument();

    If (UIDRef::gNull is docRef)

    break;

    Helper. OpenLayoutWindow (docRef);

    } while (kFalse);

    Kind regards!

  • How many times will update Firefox?

    I'm not online every day or even every week. I seems to me that my Firefox is updated quite frequently. Is this normal? Must my Firefox be updated more than once or twice a year? I confess that I did not keep a record of the number of times or dates, it had to be updated. It just seems this is quite common, and I have not noticed any differences. This isn't a problem, it's just a question.

    Every SIX weeks, firefox release the new version.

  • How many times is updated beta?

    IM asking cause sometimes that the updater never says updates are rdy

    I think that the button 'check updates' in the control panel of Flash Player UI speaks on the output channel.  It has been a few months, but I remember asking about this use case.  It required a significant amount of work to fix, and I didn't want to wait until it is done in order to start the beta channel effort.  I'm looking forward.

    If you choose always allow updates from Adobe, which should ensure that you get the updates automatically.  Alternatively, you can always manually download and install from here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.

    We are announcing the availability of the beta version of this forum and our @flashplayerbeta twitter channel.  If you want e-mail notifications when we do this, simply click the 'Flash Player Beta Channel' upward at the top of the page, then "receive the Notifications by Email" on the right side of the screen.
