• Upgraded Windows stuck 10 to 99% still once, and now it has exceeded the deadline

  Hello

  So I tried upgrading my laptop for windows 10 several times. It updates and then installs and is going slower and slower the higher percentage it gets. Once at 98%, that it takes 2 hours and 99% it keeps going. I have never run for more than 5 hours arriving at 99% until today, since it was the last day, I could upgrade for free. He is currently still 99% after running for about 20 hours and not come with an error message at all. So my question is, can I still get the free update now if this does not work, and how can I solve this problem.

  It is an Acer Aspire 5552 G 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium service pack 1. I can see there are a couple of uninstalled windows updates, it would be useful to them to install first? And if so, can I I re - run the upgrade now that the deadline for the free update is complete?

  I am a somewhat advanced user, if we need to change reg keys or pasting of the cmd commands is no problem.

• ESXi 5 multiple networks on the same host

  Is it possible to have a host with multiple (three) cards of each on a separate network?  How would you configure the network adapters in vSphere?

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  It's not a problem seen ESXi on 3 separate networks.

  By dΘfaut of ESXi installation will create a virtual switch (vSwitch0) with a management port and the Virtual Machine port group.

  You'll want to create other vSwitches 2 with 2 other network cards.  Configuration > Networking tab, click Add Network.  In the Add Network Wizard you select the Virtual Machine as the Type of connection and on the next screen, you will be able to create a new vSwitch with one of the NIC ports.  You can repeat this process for the other NIC.

  When you configure your virtual machines, you will select a network tag which is appropriate for the physical network you want to connect to.

  Depending on your network needs you can configure things differently.  If you use a VLAN, then you can have a unique vSwitch with multiple virtual machine port groups (each linked to a specicifc VLAN).

• Question ESXi 5.5 with turn a virtual computer: "an error was received from the ESX host turning on VM" '22 (Invalid argument)"'DiskEarly on a power Module failed.'

  Here's what happens when you try to turn it on one of my virtual machines (see also accessories):

  This circumstance may be linked to a sata cable issue, with the possibility of temporary loss of connectivity, which could result in data loss/corruption, I realize.  It is a laboratory box.  Especially say that the 2 VMDK he complains (trying to light) is both on the grounds of a single physical disk. Data, read and written to the speaker, since the problem are very good (which indicates the wiring problem was resolved, and the VMFS5 file system seems to be in good health).

  No photos.  No related clones.  Just a 2012 Windows Server based VM, with several drive letters in, with those underlying files VMDK residing on different stores of data VMFS5.  Implemented end (these drives aren't really so huge), but far from running out of physical space for the data either.

  Thank you!

  Good news, the best result I could hope. No data is lost. No corruption of the VMFS or NTFS don't drive in the virtual machine. Nice!  Saved me a few terabytes of data restoration and learned a little more on file system of troubleshooting along the way.

  It took a technician of VMware Service excellent, attentive, methodical remote 2 hours in a WebEx previously to resolve problems with these 2 files vmdk manually, because he found that there is a lock on them. I opened a request of Service (SR) # with VMware by following the instructions here:

  I'll cover this saga and the exact process for collecting and downloading of newspapers, through to my TinkerTry.com, including the ride video.  I even captured much of the technical work that has been done. That said, it is true that little of the magic that was made to resurrect the metadata will remain a mystery, given that this piece is VMware.

  I'm ok with a bit of black box, considering how I'm happy that I got all my data, and time savings that the quick recovery represented.

• the upgrade of the ESX hosts to update 1

  Hello

  How update you the host ESX 1 update?  I installed VMWare Update Manager and remediated the host at the same time Crtical and Non-critical baselines sucessfully but the host always shows the version 4.0.0.  I guess I'm missing something.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with storage iSCSI software to ESXi 5.5

  I intend to upgrade ESXi 4.1 with which I have attached to ESXi 5.5 iSCSI software storage

  I've updated all my guests who were on the SAN storage with no problems.

  I would like to know that if it there's nothing I should take care before I update the host connected iSCSI to ESXi 5.5, as for the hosts with SAN attached storage I made to remove the cables of SAN before upgrading the host.

  Also, if all known problems, you will be informed during the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 with iSCSI Software storage, please let me know?

  If there is no different process to upgrade coz in ESXi 4.1 I do not see this link ports of iSCSI vmkernel ports software iSCSI but I know in ESXi5.5 we have to or I just launch a procedure of standard upgrade via the Update Manager and everything will be taken care?

  Thanks in advance

  With ESXi prior to version 5, linking ports had to be done via command line. However, if it has been configured correctly, you should be able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (assuming that the host has not been previously updated since version 3). BTW. the last time that I disconnected the host of storage for an upgrade has been with ESX 3.0.

• I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  When I opened the Photos, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been published in iPhoto.  This never happened in iPhoto.  How can I fix?

  I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

  If you pick a few and twist and turn then back it is this resolved? -If this is the case you can do in large groups for the problem photos

• Comments about "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console ' (1003496)

  Hi and happy 2012!

  Is the title of the article VMware 1003496 KB (Knowledge Base) - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003496 - "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console" (article updated May 16, 2011). A better title might be "VMware KB: searching for deprivation of resources of the Console of the ESX Service / ESXi Tech Support Mode" since ESXi does not have a "Service Console".
  Article also mentions in ESXi running the command "top":
  " (...) ESX/ESXi includes the top utility to be able to check the use of the resources on the service console. (...)"
  " (...)  To check the use of the methods on the service console:
  1. Sign in to your service console of the ESX host as root from a SSH session or directly from the console of the server.  If you connect ESXi Support mode.
  2. Type back to top ."

  
  
  However, if you enable the Remote Tech Support Mode (SSH) in ESXi (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1) - similar to a "Service Console" - the 'top' command seems to not be available:
  ~ # top
  -Ash: top: not found
  
  
  ~ # find /-iname high
  ~ #
  On the other hand, the article could have mentioned "esxtop" which is available in 'ESXi' (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1):
  ~ # find /-iname esxtop

  / sbin/esxtop
  I hope this information is useful. I propose that this article (1003496) is updated accordingly.
  Thank you!

  Ricardo, we have updated the article to take account of the ESX Classic only.

  Kind regards

• The ESX 3.5 upgrade

  I just upgraded one of my host ESX 3.5 update 4 for the update of the deployment of June 2011 5. Everything seemed to have worked very well, but I just read that the 4 June 2011 update deployment 5 update upgrade is not recommended. They want to first update 5 and then update for deployment from June 2011. Is this true? Should I update my host remaining this way?

  Thank you

  Thanks for these orders. For the host, I've updated, it is said the build is 391406 and that is what is there on the VMware download site. Not sure why it says I have the build 317866 VIC.

  There is a known issue, can't seem to find this time however, where the customer is not the correct version, but the ESX host only.  I would take what the host ESX said that where you build is level.  As to do something more... When you ran the-l esxupdate query command, you saw U5?  That said the command - v to vmware.  For me, I would probably just leave this alone host.  Another with U5 patch first and then nothing after him.  From there on, compare the two hosts for patch levels.

  If you need to restore, the only way to do it would be a new generation.

• 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.

• Upgrade to ESXi on NGC

  Hello

  I have esxi4.1 installed on a few servers B200 M2, esxi has been installed with the cisco-ucs-esxi image.

  the question is I want to upgrade to esxi5, what image should I use now? the normal esxi5 of vmware or cisco-UCS-esxi5 image?

  IM upgrading to the formware ucs of 1.4 to 2.0 before that.

  I loaded about 100 B200s with ESXi 5 and never used the standard ISO VMware. The B200s were VIC M81KR adapters.

  To update to 4.1 I did only reconstructions. Many of them had the N1KV VEM and PowerPath VE so I thought it was the safest route.

• ESXi 5.1 upgrade to ESXi 6.0 with 2 warehouses of data on the local host

  Hi, I'm a little new for vsphere stuff...

  I currently have a 5.1 ESXi host who I want to spend to 6.0. I did with another host with several virtual machines on which had a unique and just ran data store Installer, robbed the store of current data so it updated the system, but kept all my config and VMs in tact.

  However, with this other host, its data store has been expanded at some point, and rather than extend the data store, they have created an additional.

  So my question is now, if I run the Setup, what data store I point to and there are likely to be problems I might encounter?

  Thank you and I look forward to hearing from someone soon

  Ben

  Hello

  a multiple data store or data store is no question during the upgrade or install ESXi.

  I guess, you start using ESXi Server ISO.

  Select storage (disk or USB/flash storage) where old ESXi is installed during the Installation (upgrade).

  This allows to detect the existing ESXi installation invites you to upgrade instead of doing the new ESXi installation.

  During the upgrade, select preserve existing and upgrade VMFS ' option to make sure that you keep the old virtual machines and old configuration ESXi.

  Thank you

• HP DL360 gen5 - is - it safe to upgrade to esxi 6.0?

  I know that the DL360 g5 has been out of the list of compatibility for some time now, but this is the box I have humming perfectly with 5.5 ESXi.

  I want to upgrade to esxi 6.0 (from the vib warehouse), but I fear that if the network and storage adapters will continue to work:

  1 adapter Gigabit Broadcom NC373i

  2. smart Array P400i

  3 631xESB/632xESB IDE controller

  I could not understand my way through the Compatibility Checker (or could not find these listed), but then I updated my HP N54L critical box non-production of esxi 6.0 without problems and it is not as compatible either.

  So if anyone has a DL360 gen5 (or a box with similar storage/network adapters listed above) and if you tried to upgrade to esxi 6.0 let me know whenever your upgrade was successful or not.

  Thank you!

  If despite this: VMware KB: devices obsolete and unsupported in VMware ESXi 6.0 who says P400i support is out or endangered, I found a few posts online saying that P400i still works in esxi 6.0 and I did the vib updated for the esxi itself as well as HP drivers and utilities:
