How update the local copy of ESXi of VMware tools?

Our two ESXi servers have version 8.0.1 of the VMware tools on the local drive (vmfs/volumes / < ID > packages/5.0.0/vmtools), but the current version is 9.0.

Right now, I manually downloaded copies of the tools directly to the host of the virtual computer, but how to update local copy of ESXi disk? I was going to just crush the 8.0.1 files, but I noticed there is a manifest file as well, which contains a large number of version numbers and I didn't break anything. Is there a way with support update installers the?

VM tools are retro-compatible, so it should work. I recommend however, as you will introduce a manual process you need to manage and I did not belive you will have any advantage by doing so. the complexity more you add, the greater the risk of things go wrong.

I however would patch the hosts to the latest version and using the tools provided with this version.

For more information on the hosts patching of the command line, see this link below;

    The support from Toshiba said-> try a BIOS update.
    On the Toshiba page, you can download the BIOS for Satellite A40.

    It seems you didn't check the download page detailed because on this page you will find this statement:

  • Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

    Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

    I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
    Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
    But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

    If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

    I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
    My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

    Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

    > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    What do you mean by update recovery partition?
    The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

    In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

    Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
    It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  • New laptop - you see is not the local copy of the library

    I've always had my library (500 GB) on a USB external drive. This has never caused a problem for several years.

    I recently got a new laptop (Lenovo X 250 Windows 7) and I'm working through the implementation. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes... went in the preferences... selected the former library on my external drive folder... nothing. iTunes don't even see.

    After some research on these forums, I followed plan, hold the SHIFT key while opening iTunes to force it to create a new library on the hard disk external. I did it. Then, as indicated, I moved all my media in the newly created iTunes Media folder. Progress! iTunes can now 'see' the library... but all the content is marked with the meaning of the cloud logo I need to download it. So, if I do not have wifi... I can't play any content, even if it is attached everything locally.

    I did a test and click download on a song. The result was iTunes there duplication in my local library by adding a '1' after the title of the song. I checked all the multimedia files are indeed still on the local disk - they are not lost.

    Suggestions on how to get iTunes to consider this as a local library?

    See the following tips for use.

    Make a portable split library

    Fix iTunes for Windows security permissions

    Empty/corrupted library iTunes after upgrade/crash

    If your entire library was starting with the outside so it should be possible to get it working again. If this isn't the case, you can ensure that you build it correctly this time.

    Regarding duplicates see Re: deletion of duplicates in the library. Note that everything in the media folder must be connected to iTunes first for this script to work.

  • FOR loop does not update the local Variable

    I am newer to labview, and I can't wrap the head around why not a habit of local variable to update in the code if it updates on the dashboard. Anything im missing?

    Assume that you are talking about the local variable of the 'State of the cell. The terminal updates every 500ms in the small top loop, the local variable indicates simply that the indicator and thus updates also.

    The problem is "dataflow" and you need to familiarize yourself with the concept!

    Once the while loop starts, the local variable is reading and inside the loop begins. Most likely, the local variable is read before it is updated in the small loop, so most likely returns the value of a fade on the first iteration of the while loop. Now the small loop continues to go twice per second for about five seconds. Only after the loop FOR (and everything else inside the while loop) completed, the while loop will go to the next iteration, date on which the local variable is read once more, this time with the last value of the last for loop iteration of the previous iteration of the while loop.

    In summary, the local variable updates very well, it's just that the code does not read the new value around most of the time.

    Your VI is full also potential competition conditions caused by the over-use of the local variable. You need to respect the proper execution order by eliminating local variables.

    So what is the solution? Hard to say without knowing what the VI is supposed to do. Most likely, you will need to remove the inside OF the loop and use it outside while loop for everything.

  • ScriptUI: How update the values from Listbox? (CC2014)

    Is there a way to update item listbox that filled with the elements of the array JS. If I push more items in the table, how do I re - make in ScriptUI? Is there any way to do this.

    I know there are average just to add items to the listbox as in PDF of Peter Kahrel. But it's not so dynamic:

    var w = new Window ("dialog");
    var myList = w.add ("listbox", undefined, ["one", "two", "three"]);
    var b = w.add ("button", undefined, "Add");
    b.onClick = function () {myList.add ("item", "zero", 0)}
    w.show ();
    

    What would you say if I wan't to update the listbox when I changed my paintings, as below:

    // Create example array
    var testArr = ['item1', 'item2']
    $.writeln(testArr.length);
    
    startGUI();
    function startGUI() {
        
        // Window
        var win = new Window( "palette", script_name, undefined, { resizeable:true } );
        win.orientation = "column";
        win.alignChildren = ["fill", "fill"];
        
        // Listbox
        var myListbox = win.add ("listbox", undefined, testArr,

            showHeaders: true,  
            columnTitles: ['Name']
        });

        addItem.onClick = function() {   
            testArr.push ('item3');

  • How update the vmware tools on the guest or virtualcenter

    Hello

    We run a store where we support some linux boxes.  We had some problems with time drift and other things and on our vmware guy suggested put us the version of VMWare tools on the guest or virtual Center.  The only problem is that I can't find a procedure for this.

    To clarify, I'm not how to install VMWare tools on virtual machines.  We know how to do and we know to recompile after we patch the kernel.  But our guys VMWare suggests that in the end we're just recompile the same old version of VMWare tools to make it work with the new kernel.

    In fact, we suspect the version we have is very old, that we have not successfully updated because we were running on 2.5 and are now running on 4.0 Update 1 (wait for the 4.1 support nexus is added).

    Thank you

    Dan

    Welcome to the forums!

    So I assume you mean updating the source VMware Tools, which is then used to update VMware tools in guests?

    The guy from VMware is true, recompile the tools is necessary after a kernel update has been done. It is not up-to-date version. However, you must do that to make them work again.

    The latest VMware tools comes with the latest product or updates/patches for this product. Information shows that the tools are not updated after you apply this hotfix or an update.

    They also can be downloaded here (for ESX 4.x) : http://www.vmware.com/patch/s3portal.portal?_nfpb=true&_windowLabel=SearchPatch&SearchPatch_actionOverride=%2Fportlets%2Fpatchupdate%2FdisplayAllBundlePatches&_pageLabel=s3portal_pages_downloadPatch_page

  • How update the values in ValueChangeEvent...

    Hello world

    I use Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0.0.

    I have a scenario as follows. I have 2 fields like password and Confirmpassword.

    I wrote a ValueChangeListener for the password field to make some validations and I wrote an other ValueChangeListener for the field Confirmpassword inorder to compare values entered in the two fields.

    But here..., event in ValueChangeListener field Confirmpassword, iam cannot retrieve the password field value to compare.


    The reason is... ValueChangeListener is located in ApplyRequestPhase/ProcessValidationsPhase and updated the values in UpdateModelPhase values are so not updated and impossible to get in the ValueChangeListener event.


    In order to update the values of the tree of components in case of ValueChangeListener, I tried to use code below

    valueChangeEvent.getComponent () .processUpdates (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance ());


    But the values are not updated... Please suggest me to complete my scenario. Do what is necessary. Thanks in advance.

  • When I opened TB start page is not used. I lists the local folders only. Bar menu, tool or Nosend.

    I don't have a normal opening page, when I opened TB. The only thing on the screen is a list of local folders on the left side of the screen with only 3 listed columns. Subject, from, and Date. There is no address list, tool or menu bars, writing, sending view etc. The change of the screen that's happened several weeks ago. I pressed a button and the screen changed from normal to one that only shows the screen of the local folder. I was not able to respond to my email or write brand new. I have concluded that if there is no other choice, other than to uninstall and reinstall new TB please don't let me know. I have been without email for about 3 weeks now and that must be fixed. I'd appreciate any help you can give. I'm not a computer language and technical or program explanation writers are usually not easy for me to decipher so if there is no simple solution to my problem don't let me know and I'll uninstall and reinstall the latest version. Thank you

    First of all, try to open in safe mode:
    Hold your shift down when you start Tbird. Don't make permanent changes. Click on continue in integrated security mode.
    Any change?
    Right-click on the top border. You get an opportunity to activate the menu and mailtools? In the affirmative.
