infrastructure VMware esxi 3.5 update

Hello world

A production with 5 vm to update ESxi server when it is in production? or, is it better to move the virtual machine to a different server, and then update it?

The server running ESXi 3.5 and advises the tool update to the newest firmware update and tools

Thank you!!!

Peter

Many updates require a restart of the host.  I always migrate VM before the update, so the reboot will not affect the.  The update of the VMTools restarts if the virtual machine.  Which can be coordinated at a later date if.

  • Upgrade of the 3 HP VMware ESXi 5.1 update kills Emulex network and cannot be cancelled?

    People,

    I have a serious issue here after the upgrade of the HP Blade 465 BL c G7 with adapter Emulex NC551i double Port FlexFabric 10 Gb..

    The problem: after the successful online update of ESXi 5.1 Update 2 Patch 5 (2000251) in ESXi 5.1 update 3 (2323236) the ESXi server cannot be crazy, or it can ping to the outside network, so she doesn't have to reconnect to the VCenter server.

    Software/Firmware version:

    The version before the upgrade of the server are:

    ~ # ethtool-i vmnic0

    pilot: be2net

    version: 10.2.293.0

    firmware version: 4.9.416.2

    bus-info: 0000:04:00.0

    ~ #

    Since the version above does not work, I managed to download VMW-ESX-5.1.0-be2net-10.2.477.20-offline_bundle-2541837.zip for upgrade the driver VMNic in: 10.2.477.20 but still after the update and restart the network is not able-ping.

    ROLLBACK:

    I also tried to restore to previous work ESXi Server version 2000251 to the help of SHIFT-R but the ESXi server still restart as 2323236 with a network that still worked.


    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated without having to reconfigure the settings of ESXi and the configuration of the switch distributed from scratch.

    According to the recipe of HP/VMware here: http://vibsdepot.hp.com/hpq/recipes/HP-VMware-Recipe.pdf

    There is a note about the NC551i:

  • R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

    That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

    www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    www.Dell.com/.../manuals

    indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

    I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

    ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
    Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

    megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

    Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

    This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

  • VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 1 breaks AutoStartManager (free license ONLY, waiting for patch/fix)

    Hello

    Today I updated to version 515841 to 623860, apparently, the update was successful.

    However, I noticed something very annoying - the host is no longer automatically starts or stops invited as configured. I tried to turn the feature on and outside, moved to guests to "Manual start" then back to "Auto-start" - with various combinations of these parameters, also restarted host between changes. But, alas, no luck.

    In the list of "Recent tasks" appears in vSphere Client, the Auto Power On tasks as completed, launched by root, with 'Start Time' and 'End time' with the same timestamp. The server log reports the following error (3rd line below):

    2012-03-16 T 07: 08:27.296Z [6DE40B90 info "TaskManager"] created task: haTask - vim.host.AutoStartManager.autoPowerOn - 97171136

    RestrictedVersion? Something was happening to the license free ESXi features?

    Someone else with the same problem/a solution?

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, it's a bug.  It only affects people running the free hypervisor.  Not aware of a fix/workaround yet...

  • Update ESXi 4.1 Build 260247 to ESXi 4.1 Update 3

    Hello

    I want to update a stand-alone host to ESXi 4.1 Update 3. I don't have vCenter or VUM in the environment (yet). I downloaded the bundle "update - from - esxi4.1 - 4.1_update03.zip" and have the vSphere CLI installed on my workstation.

    I use vihostupdate.pl to check the server and the applicability of the patch before I go and install and he seems to think there is nothing there to install.

    From what I can tell, this is a cumulative update and I have not read anywhere that I need to install the update 1 or 2 update as a prerequisite, so why are they not those detected?

    I'm not familiar term "Proliant model". is the term of avobe you wanted to say

    HP appoints its servers "Proliant", for example HP Proliant G7 BL460.

    To install ESXi on this server model, you may need to use HP custom image. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1035114 for details and the download link.

  • Help! Cannot add role or Clone in VMware ESX 3.5 Update 3

    I just rebuilt our ESX server using the latest version of VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 3.

    After installation and configuration of the system, I went a head and tried to add a role on the Administration tab. From there, I noticed that when I clicked 'OK' the system wouldn't take the input and create a role. I also tried to clone and does not go beyond by clicking on 'OK '.

    Has anyone seen this issue or know a possible resolution? I checked the research and am still trying Googling for it.

    P.S. I restarted the machine several times as well and am using the administrator account.

    Thank you!

    What happens if you close the VIC and open again?  I tested just to add a role, and it appeared immediately.

  • Cisco ISO Custom - VMWare ESXi 5.5 Upd 2 - VMware Update Manager still shows update 2 required

    Hi all

    I just updated one of my guests with the latest cisco image provided on the vmware website (Vmware-ESXi-5.5.0-2068190-custom-Cisco-5.5.2.3).  After the application as an upgrade of the host and then doing a scan against the host in the Update Manager, it shows that ESXi complete update 2 is missing?

    I know this is maybe more a problem of vmware, but wanted to see if someone had run into this?

  • using vmware update manager to update Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 update 3

    I use put vmware update manager (VUM) up-to-date Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 updated 3. The Dell build was published on 11/13/15.

    The results of the baseline VUM are attached. I was surprised that some older patches from 2014 are suggested, and even complete full update and 2 update 3. Is a common practice to just update with whataver MUV said, or is it best to get VUM to apply the patches after the date of release of a version of the seller?

    If missing the update you must certainly apply. I'm just going by what suggests Manager Update and apply all the patches.

    What you've recorded for earlier? This happens when you download the other than approved for products product/updates.

    Same error for me, but I downloaded the recording with the new code. I think that you will need to register with the new code.
