How to upgrade 3.5u4 ESXi ESXi 4 without vCenter
Hi all
I downloaded the VMware ESXi 4.0 (upgrade ZIP) of: https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/p/activate.php?p=free-esxi & lp = 1 without using any premium tools apartfrom FastSCP + PuTTY for SSH access, now I wonder what I would do in my SSH console? because I tried to copy in the Datastore1, then chmod-r 777 update dir. still stuck.
I also tried to update using C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIUpdate\VMwareUpdateServiceClient.exe and it is not really to upgrade to version 4.
any idea please?
Kind regards
AWT

Upgrade 5.0 ESXi host w / vCenter on it
Hi people, forgive me if this isn't in the right place. Finally move the update and patches of my three hosts ESXi 5.0 with Update Manager. I was quite easily able to update two of my guests with managers to upgrade to a more recent version, however puzzled on what to do with the host that hosts my vCenter on that server? We have VMware essentials if we do not have to use Vmotion. Is there an easy way to update this host without vCenter cloning and move to another host to update? Advice or tips or news to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help!
I guess your vCenter is on the shared storage - connect to the host of your power VM vCenter down the VM and remove from the inventory of the hosts - go to one of the hosts that has been already updated and add the virtual machine to inventory and run it - and now, you're ready to use the Update Manager to update host rest.

When I install fresh and sync my new firefox, I have 100 bookmarks in categories. I would like to see an option for site icons where firefox will update and get the icons for all of my favorites.
This option is available in Maxthon
Now I have to visit all the sites to see the icon.Maybe there's an addon
Hello daronwade, to automatically add the favicons to your synchronized bookmarks you can try to use the following plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/faviconreloader/
After you have installed the addon, it must learn once the scan for favicons: press the alt key to display the menu bar, go to bookmarks and select the option to recharge the favicons.

How to upgrade more than 5 million records without error ORA-00257:
Hello
I need to update some of the columns in my table which is contains approximately 5 million records
I already tried this
Update AAA_CDR
Set RoamFload = Null;
but the problem is that I have the error message ("ORA-00257: archiver error.") Connect internal only, until this that released.) and the update consume about 6 hours with no results,
can I make orders (Alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G) and the problem resolved.
but I need to be updated about 15 columns of this table to be null, what should I do to overcome this message and update the table within a reasonable
Please help me,Hello
You can consider the following option.
1. create a new table AAA_CDR_BKP as being equal to the structure of table AAA_CDR
Create Table AAA_CDR_BKP as Select * from AAA_CDR where 1=2;
2. check the original array (AAA_CDR) as of the clues in this regard. Make sure you take the DDL of these indices, because you will need it later.
3. now you can insert records from AAA_CDR to AAA_CDR_BKP
Insert /*+APPEND */ into AAA_CDR_BKP select col1,col2,col3,null,null,null,null,null,col9,null,col11 from AAA_CDR; Commit;
where you will pass nulls for the required columns. Also make sure you have space on the tablespace as equal to table AAA_CDR
You can get the size of the table in
select bytes/(1024*1024*1024) size_in_GB from user_segments where segment_name = 'AAA_CDR';
Once finished insert please post the transaction.
4 delete the index (if any) of the original table (AAA_CDR)
5. rename the original in AAA_CDR_ORG table
6. Rename AAA_CDR_BKP to AAA_CDR
7 run the DDL scripts on step 2 to re-create the index.
8. delete the AAA_CDR_ORG table after investigating the whole operation.Using this method, you'll generate less archive logs and the process will be faster.
See you soon

Upgrade to ESXi 4.0 3.5u4 ESXi Licensing Issues
I've updated 3.5u4 ESXi 4.0 and it worked like a charm. The only thing he then told me that it's a 60-day evaluation period. No problem - looked on the VMWare Web site to get a free license code (as shown everywhere), but no luck. I can't get one, no matter what I I stuck to the page you can see in the attached file. The code does not (as well as suspicious and reported). Are there no free version of ESXi 4.0? And if there is - how do I get a license key?
Thank you!
I had the same problem.
After you download ESXi 4.0, I get an ESXi 3.5 wrong License-Code that will not work with ESXi 4.0. After a new registration full on the website of vmware with a new email address, I got a free ESXi 4.0 License Code that works now.
Kind regards

How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?
Hello everyone.
Can someone help me with registration
of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I
certainly do not understand.
My goal is to install and use ESXi
4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for
more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?
Installation of its products
gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few
suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,
I will be grateful.
I'll write what I did:
I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.
I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.
Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exeInstallation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.
I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.
Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".
I have
Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
"for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?
As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?
To register the serial number in your ESX4i host
Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)
Tab Configuration
Left side - features licensed
Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key
Paste your key
Confirm all
Your ESXi server is now fully licensed
Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

NFS problem after upgrade to vSphere, ESXi 5.0 5.1
Hello community,I installed / updated on a Dell r.620 Server ESXi 5.0 5.1 vSphereI also have an ESXi installed 5.0 an another r.620 Dell both connected to a Snyology Racksation via NFS. (at different volumes)Now, I have the problem that I can't install an OS (Windows XP, Windows 8, Windows 7) located on an NFS share in a new created virtual machine.I am not connected without vCenter, just with the vSphere Client direct connected.The system boots, but I can not choose to install the operating system on the new created VMDK but then nothing happens.I also tried to format the drive before installation, formatting breaks down after 15 minutes with the message: "unable to format the drive...". 0 x 80070057 ".When the virtual machine is on the local storage of the VM to the server, everything works fine.I can also install and start virtual machines on the same NFS with an ESXi 5.0 share.Formerly installed VMs can also start. All hung on the windows logo screen and the German Embassy "Comuptereinstellungen werden übernommen"... for over an hour...The same virtual machines work fine on the ESXi 5.0, located on the same NFS share.But on the NFS share, I can write and read the data with the Client vSphere (on configuration-> storage) with no problems, so I guess that there is a problem with the NFS, permissions etc volume.So I guess there must be a problem with the NFS share on vSphere Host 5.1.Does anyone have an idea what is the problem?
Thank you very much!
