• ESXi 4.0 can be upgraded to 4.1 via the Update Manager?

  Hello

  ESXi 4.0 can be upgraded to 4.1 via the Update Manager, or what I have to do it manually via vihostupdate.pl? Is it also possible to upgrade via CD offline? That is, will be the Setup routine recognizes the installed version and keep the configuration?

  At least the Upgrade Guide describes Update Manager as a solution to perform the upgrade - 4.1 does not appear here yet however!

  / edit: Ah, I completely forgot that I must use the base line upgrade instead of Patch baseline. I can specify the ZIP file for the upgrade!

  Thank you

  right, the Update Manager-> create-> home-setting baseline to day-> file-> download the .iso image file or image .zip of ESX (i) 4.1.

• vCenter Server 4.0 and Update Manager

  Hello

  Can vCenter Server 4.0 and Update Manager be installed on the same server?

  I understand that they both must separate databeses.

  Thank you

  Euan

  Is the same as VI 3.5.

  You need two DB, but also on the same SQL instance.

  So you can install on the same computer.

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with Update Manager - disconnect SAN?

  Just noticed a patch was released for ESXi 4.1, if I deploy this hotfix with Update Manager, do I have to disconnect the SAN in order to install the host?  ESXi make his case of scanning for unformatted volumes and format when it restarts first after being patched?

  See you soon

• How upgrade Vcenter virtual HW 9 on ESX 5.1 x

  Hello!

  As the Web Interface is not available without a vcenter, I created a virtual machine with a material of V8 (the highest available through the VSphere client) where I installed the VCenter server. Now, I wonder how the HW to v9... If I stop the Vcenter, the web interface is no longer available and it took to upgrade to v9.

  There is a "Calendar VM Compatibility Upgrade" option in the Web Interface, you can choose to do the upgrade on the next reboot of the system, but it has the Vcenter server to be available? She would work on the vcenter Server?

  Any idea on how to solve this problem?

  Concerning

  With the update pack 1 (I think), upgrade material is available in the virtual Center

  The upgrade is performed.

  Thx for your help!

• How upgrad of xp home sp 1 update to sp3 with an xp with sp1 disk?

  Your question is very difficult to understand.  Next time, try to write in a complete sentence without using cryptic abbreviations (and spelling).

  I think that you are asking how to change Windows XP Edition service pack 3 for Windows XP Pro family, when all you have is a Windows XP Pro service pack 1 upgrade CD.

  If this is your question, the answer is that you need create an installation CD slipstreamed that integrates your sp1 XP Pro with Service Pack 3 CD.  There are several websites with instructions.  Use your favorite search engine to search for "slipstream sp3 XP.

  You can do this in a variety of ways, but using one of the two free programs - Autostreamer or nLite - makes it easier.  You will also need an application to create the CD from the ISO file that you create with Autostreamer or nLite.  ImgBurn is free and easy to use.

• Changing the IP address of the server running vCenter 2.5 U4 affects Update Manager Plugin

  Hello

  I have vCenter 2.5 U4 installed on a test server.  I now want to move it into production and need to change the IP address of the server.  All is well except the Manager Plugin update does not work.  When I connect to vCenter it gives me the message: "request failed because of a logon failure.   When I connect to vCenter it gives me the message: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

  I looked in the logs and found that she always tries to connect with the old IP address of the server:

  "System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: a connection attempt failed because the connected party responded properly after a period of time, or an established connection failed because connected host has failed to 10.250.48.230:443.

  My question is where can I change here to access the new IP address that I put in the server.  I found the address in "vci - integrity.xml" and change it in there but it always wants to connect to the old address:

  “”

  Note: The change was 10.250.48.230 to 10.250.48.130.

  Is there also, I need to change?  Or do I need to UNINSTALL Manager Plugin update and then REINSTALL?

  Thanks in advance,

  Rick Townsend

  I would try a repair installation, because I think it will prompt you to enter the appropriate IP information there.

  Anyone with experience in the present? Documentation says that it is not possible to install the update on a VCSA Manager but you can install the update on a Windows Machine Manager and point it at the VCSA.

  Anyone try? It works as recommended by VMware?

  Thanks in advance!

• Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

  That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

  The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

  Your answers are greatly appreciated.

  Please, tell me if I understand you:

  Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

  If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.

• Upgrading vCenter 4.0 32-bit to 64-bit vCenter 4.1

  Everyone...

  Upgrading vCenter vCenter 4.1 to 4.0u1. The current server running vCenter 4.0 u1 is just a Windows 2003 based VM.

  Databases supporting vCenter and Update Manager is installed on a physical Server SP3 to SQL 2005 64-bit.

  I want to plan and to implement the upgrade as follows:

  Remove the current vCenter domain and turned off.

  Turn on a new virtual machine running Windows 2008 64 bit and rename it as the old server vCenter.

  Add the new vCenter server to the domain

  Installing vCenter 4.1 on the new vCenter server and use the existing databases that support

  the old server vCenter.

  Use the Update Manager to upgrade vSphere 4.1 on each managed host computers.

  What possible questions could meet or must be aware, as I implement this

  upgrade process?

  During the installation process and it asks to use an existing database, will be installing

  just updated the database to process and store the configuration data of the server vCenter 4.0?

  Once the upgrade is complete for the new vCenter server.  I see the same configuration

  as I saw in the old server vCenter configuration?

  Looking forward to all the world the answers... Thanks in advance!

  I agree with Redbaron51.  I used the setting level guide and things worked perfectly.  There is a batch file that backs up the database and converts it to the new 64-bit server.  It was very easy and worked as advertised.

• Update Manager - error connecting to VMware vCenter Update Manager - database temporarily unavailable or has network problems.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled, I triple checked that I can connect on the VCenter server using the account Update Manager DB owner on the Update Manager database. I can connect to SQL using the native client ODBC SQL 2008 under the same account. But we get the same error of several machines when we install and run the plugin VCenter.

  Any ideas?

  If you use Windows authentication to connect to the database, you have to change the user who initially on the virtual center of the Update Manager service. You must put the name of user and password of the user that can connect to the database (by default Update Manager beginning with the Local System account. During the installation if the vCenter Server is on Windows 2008 I think you must also use the FQDN of the server vCenter (or ip address) to be sure it get the right address (something to do with IPv6 on Windows 2008). At least it worked for me.

• Upgrading ESX 3.5U1 to 3.5U3 by using Update Manager

  I'm almost finished upgrading all our servers ESX 3.02 to 3.5 update 1 more a few patches.

  This was done by booting from the CD to update 1 3.5 to perform the upgrade.

  I had a basleine created in the update manager that includes all fixes releaed in June 2008 or earlier. This base was also used on all of our ESX servers.

  I now want to use the Update Manager to upgrade all servers to 3.5.0 update 3 and the latest patches.

  If I have a base line that includes all the updates that are never out, can I just clean up the hosts on this base? The upgrade process will be "smart" enough to just install update 3 and latest patches or will be installed all the patches in sequence include the update 2 which I suppose is not necessary if the update 3 is also being installed?

  Should I create a baseline containing the 3 updated and any update since then. Update 3 includes other updates also published November 6?

  Note that I'm under 104215 virtual Center version but will be upgrading to update 3 before upgrading the hosts.

  Our Update Manager database was created when the Update Manager is out and includes all updates, including ESX Server 3.5.0 Update 2 updated with the question of the "ticking time bomb".

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm never live from 3.0.1 to U1 and U3. Always fresh, I installed 3.5 and then improved from there. However your approach should work perfectly as well. I wouldn't get to frustrated with VUM as him starts and stops and the issue of sanitation occur due to the circles of interesting dependence and bugs squarely in the process of upgrading some of the improvements. I often force ESX in Maintenance mode to install the updates. It depends usually if VMware HA is enabled, or VMS must be evacuated. I tend to evacuate all virtual machines running by hand, then perform upgrades.
