HP ESXi 5.0 to update update 1

Hello

I am not entirely new to ESXi, I installed 3.5 and 4, but never an update.

Our servers are installed with HP Image custom/iso "5.0_Oct_2011_ESXi_HD_USB_SDImgeInstlr_Z7550_00253".

Now I would like to update the servers to 5.0 Update 1 without having to reinstall them.

I found the iso-U1, but I think it is is not update... shouldn't it be a zip file or have I misunderstood something?

If anyone can help find the right way to update U1 servers, including CIM/NMI suppliers/drivers?

Thanks for the help!

Simon

You can upgrade using the ISO HP, present on your server when you are prompted to perform an upgrade rather than a facility.

Iso HP includes CIM providers and drivers.

Although I always perform a clean installation rather than an upgrade, if you have company liked, you can use a host profile to save the current configuration and reapply after the new installation.

  • Dell M620 (VRTX) blade - ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 installation upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest)

    This morning I did an installation of upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest Version) on one of the blades of my VRTX M620 three 3.  I have the same problem that I met about a year, when I tried to update 1-2 update.  I had to go down to 1 update to see the data store.

    With update 3, the data store does not appear on this blade.  I did a scan to see if the data store is present, but he did not.  Also, I restarted the blade which did not help.

    I have to keep upgrading to 3 update due to the necessary correction of problem CBT.

    How to troubleshoot and resolve this problem of my data store does not?

    Note: I have very little experience with virtualization.  I just found today on how to access the interface from the CLI of blades.

    Thanks in advance.

    SOLVED.

    The original sas megaraid drivers (even installed on the blades of M620 Dell) had to be installed.  It is my understanding that several versions of the megaraid sas driver provided on the Dell ESXi ISO are meant to satisfy the VMware HCL for this material.  However, the more recent does not show the data store.

  • Installation server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi Server 4.0 Update 1

    "Upgrade package of ESXi Server 4.0 to ESXi Server 4.0 Update 1.

    Using the download listed above:

    What is the best practice for the installation/upgrade to update 1?  Is this possible via the host update utility 4.0?  And if so, how should we do about this process?

    Thanks in advance, TAndrist

    You should not manually download any file at all.  The host update utility does all that for you.

    Open the utility, add the host ESX (note a hack to run on Win7 before publication U1).

    Click on file, download patches for vmware.

    Then click on "Scan for Patches" and enter credentials for the host to ESX

    Once who did button changes to 'host patch', click on it, then install.

    Make sure that all virtual machines are stopped everything first.

    Please give points for any helpful answer.

  • HP Custom Image for ESXi 5.0.0 Update 1 vs VMware provided

    We use models of generation of servers, ProLiant DL HP 5, 6 and 7 to our environment vSphere. Someone at - it experience with the use of the HP device provided ISO vs VMware?

    I've been using VMware images provided and for moving to ESXi 5.0U1, I am trying to determine whether to use images of HP now.


    Suggestions, comments, and or PROs or idiots would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    As others said, the ISO provided HP is very good, but it is in no way a magic requirement. They contain little update driver-VIBs and, in addition, the material management extensions.

    Basically, everything that HP and other hardware vendors are doing with their ISOs custom entering the release of vanilla by VMware, the addition of a few separate packages (material management extensions) and maybe replace some drivers specific with updated versions (as a driver more recent be2net, which is just what VMware offers as an updated driver to separate day on their site anyway). They do not affect the VMware components as esx-base package

    You can also easily build an almost exact copy of HP image yourself, updated or additional drivers and management extensions are all available after all. And of course you can always install management packs and drivers updated in your vanilla install yourself afterwards, through for example Update Manager.

  • ESXi 5.1 and Update Manager

    Hi all

    As I'm sure many of you are well aware, ESXi 5.1 is the latest version with a .NET VI Client is a separate installation. In the future, we want to use the Web Interface to manage ESXi hosts.

    My question is with the Update Manager. Anyone know if you can use the Update Manager in the web interface? I see where use in the VI Client.

    If you know the discussions or documents on how to use it in the web interface, please report it. Or if you know any information on the ability (or for that matter, cannot) use it in the web interface, I'd love to hear it.

    -Ed

    Hello Ed,

    Yes, I work in VMware. In future releases it will not .net / c# and only web client. In this release VMware wanted users to use vSphere client and the web client, users can become comfortable with the web Client.

    I am sure that in future versions, the MU plugin will be integrated.

    Hope that answers your questions.

  • 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?

  • ESXi 4 ESX 4 Update 1 upgrade

    Hello

    I have here a typical situation. We rotated 2 standalone ESXi 4 with VM and templates stored in the local data warehouses. We finally decided to upgrade to ESX 4 update 1 to be able to use the service console to use most of the features of the CLI.

    The ESXi 4 has 2 data warehouses locally that contains templates of a store of data and the virtual computer on the other. It is important for us to have the operation of the virtual machine. We do not have a shared storage.

    We have obtained the licenses now and want to spend ESXi ESX 4update 4 1. Is this possible? If so, how and if not, what would be the alternatives?

    All entries would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    There is no option to migrate since ESXi 4 to ESX 4.

  • EMC CX4 and ESXi 5.1 table updated 1 compatibility?

    Hi people,

    Can you please share what it takes to make sure you can run the VM without any problems or downtime when you use the EMC CX4 array?

    my table has been updated at the last TORCH as per screenshot below:FLARE30.JPG

    But anyway, VMware HCL and the KB site VMware KB: EMC CX and Firmware VNX and necessary ESX for the vStorage API for integration (VAAI) table support talking about something different and confused as per screenshot below:

    CX4-240f.JPG

    Any kind of advice and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Al

    In my view, that he won't be problem in the environment. If it is not compatible does not mean that it won't work but simply means its not supported. You could talk to VMware guy once lifting a SR or something. And sorting to be on the safer side. These are things that you can't take risks with because that its your storage array that we are talking about.

  • Apply a Patch on ESXi 5.0.0 update

    Hello

    I have an ESXi host 5.0.0 build 623860 and would like to apply the latest patch of bug fixes. It is necessary that we apply all previous patches? If I only apply the most current path already contains the latest Patch fixes?

    Thank you.

    You can apply the last batch of patches to be up-to-date (see ESXi 5.x Patch Matrix) assuming you are using the VMware, i.e. no provider OEM images image with additional or modified content. Also make sure that the last package supports your hardware.

    To enter the key to license/assign the license to host, do in for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2014295. For example "Licensing a stand-alone ESXi host" where the host is not managed by vCenter Server.
