Install/configure vCenter 4.1 U1 version before the hosts upgrade?

Similar Questions

• Update comments before the host tools

  Hello

  Our backup software (TSM for EV) checks if the VMWare Guest tools are 'in progress', before you perform the backup of the application.

  This means that when we improve a host for the new version, the backup of the application of all the virtual machines on the host will fail, until the tools are upgraded.

  
  

  However, the cheque will go through if the comment tools version is newer than the version of the host.

  Then...

  Is it possible to orchestrate the tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?

  (In addition to using a single host 'host jump' update for updates, and migration of virtual machines on that host one).

  Best regards

  Martin

  
  

  
  

  Is it possible to orchestrate the tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?

  Yes, it's possible and fully supported to run versions of VMware Tools in the guests who are more recent than the ESXi host versions. For example, you can use the latest tools of U1 6.0 even on the hosts 5.x. see: product VMware interoperability matrices

  To obtain and deploy the latest tools, you have a couple of different options available; you don't need to bother with a "host of jump' or whatever it is.

  1. just update the package tools-light of your guests, for example with MUV. This beautiful thing is this can be done online and requires no maintenance mode or a reboot of the host. Make sure that no virtual machine currently has VMware Tools mounted ISOs.

  2 extract the ISOs tools the bundle version (patch) of target offline or installing ESXi ISO.

  3 download https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.htmlTools packages. These correspond exactly to those of the packages included in the packages offline (patch) or installation ISOs. (Just get the .exe files big, no need to enter an ISO.)

  4 download the new standalone version 10.x of the tools of:

  https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1005&ProductID=491

  http://pubs.VMware.com/Release_Notes/en/VMwareTools/1005/VMware-tools-1005-release-notes.html

  Personally, I prefer not to bother with the ISOs editing or updating through the vSphere Client interfaces, but using an automated custom installation with the package of relevant tools like this:

  C:\VMware-tools-9.4.12-2627939-x86_64.exe/v number! REINSTALLMODE = vomus ADDLOCAL = DELETE all the Audio, BootCamp, FileIntrospection, Hgfs, NetworkIntrospection, Unity REBOOT = ReallySuppress

  This also some unnecessary components like unity, which are available on the position of work/Fusion/player, and eliminates a forced reboot.

• Beginner question - download the version of the host and sort by host name and version

  Hello

  I'm trying to get the version of the host of my hosts in vCenter and then sort the output in a table by name and version, but I'm pretty new to powershell and I have zero programming background, so I can't understand it.

  What I got so far is the following;

  Get-vmhost | % {(Get-vue $_.ID).} Config.Product} | Tri-objet fullname | format-table FullName

  You get the version of the software to all of my guests and sorting in a list of the version of the software (fullname).  However because get-vmhost | % {(Get-vue $_.ID).} Config.Product} does not include the host name in its release, I can't find a way to include the hostname in my production.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  You can do something like this

  get-vmhost | Get-View | select Name,@{N="Build";E={$_.Config.Product.FullName}} | `
  sort-object -Property Build | format-table
  

  On the Select-Object cmdlet, you can use literals hash that will allow you to run complex expressions.

  If you want the output sorted by host name, you can do

  get-vmhost | Get-View | select Name,@{N="Build";E={$_.Config.Product.FullName}} | `
  sort-object -Property Name | format-table
  

  Or like this (which is a bit faster)

  Get-View -ViewType HostSystem | select Name,@{N="Build";E={$_.Config.Product.FullName}} | `
  sort-object -Property Build | format-table

• HP Officejet 7400 series: installing software HP all-in-one cancels before the end

  After the upgrade to Windows 10, my HP OfficeJet 7400 (wireless) series has lost the ability to analyze.  The HP Solution Center responds with the message "cannot run because your installation of the device is not complete.  I ran printing HP and doctor Scan and it said that "the complete office solution for your product is not installed on this computer" (even though it worked fine w/Windows 7 before the upgrade).  Continuing through the stages of printing and doctor Scan, you are prompted to install the software all-in-one series I initiative.  He gets successfully to the menu of Options of Installation of revision.  I check out the review and accept the check box and click Next.  At this point, it passes to the "prepare the system for the installation" and for the briefest of moments he says software removal.  But then the operation will stop and the program ends without having to install the software and drivers.  I found a log file pushing files and shows that I am an ERROR_INSTALL_USEREXIT 1602 - the user cancels the installation.

  Although my situation seems to be a bit different that other issues addressed in the forums of HP, I've tried every fix suggested in those and nothing works.   I also downloaded Windows Scan and scan HP and Capture and cannot find my scanner.  The print function, however, works with the supplied Windows 10 driver.

  Any thoughts?  Thank you!

  Hello @Bill_M1,

  This is a great place to visit for a community support and HP! I see that you are not able to scan and you encounter problems during installation. Thank you for providing all of the steps that you have already tried. I wish I could help you.

  I would uninstall the old printer drivers Windows 7 install and reinstall the most recent drivers.

  I have provided with steps to unlock the hidden administrator account and the installation of the printer on this account to see if this will help this situation.

  Note: Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.

  • Go to your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type CMD.
  • CMD will fill as an option to search above, just right-click on it and "run as Administrator".
  • Once opens in CMD (command prompt), type net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
  • Then, close CMD and then restart your computer.
  • When your computer is on the newspaper in the new account which should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
  • If your computer automatically connects to your account after the restart then go to your Start menu and click on the arrow next to 'shutdown' and choose 'change user '. Now log on to the administrator account, that we have just released.
  • Under the administrator account, install the printer software.
  • Test the printer.
  • To disable the Admin account start at step 1 and type net user administrator / active: No..

  Here is the driver: Full_Webpack - 140.0.408 - 5-AIO_CDB_FSW_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe

  How is the printer connected?

• vCenter vCSA unit lost, how to install a new one to take control of the host?

  Hello

  Due to a disk failure, I lost the VCSA control 2 guests. Now I manage the VMs entering each host separately.

  The backup did not work, so I want to reinstall VCSA 5.1 again.

  I read that the first step is to "unpin" the hosts of the VCSA.

  Is there a procedure for this operation? I want to reinstall and take control of the hosts and their virtual machines.

  Will this affect virtual machines running settings? new device "reads" the current configuration?

  I supported the VCSA configuration, but I think that it is not reliable because this time we made changes directly to the guests.

  Thanks in advance

  given that the old vCenter isn't available.

  and as you said that you are able to connect directly to the two hosts, so there is no locking mode either. nothing should be done 'Dismantling' part of it.

  Just prepare your new VCSA, connection inside once the configuration is successful using the vi client or web, create new data Center virtual

  and start adding hosts, the two hosts will be added without problem.

  New VC will be able to reset the account vpxuser password as part of the welcome add treat yourself.

• Make sure that the version of the host is 5 + front to build a virtual machine in automation

  Hello

  I use PS for WebAccess to build virtual machines. Our group has hosts 4.x which will not support Windows 2012. In the script, I chose a host based on certain criteria, e.g. vm how she is already hosting, etc... But now that we have 5.x, I have of course the host is 5.x before attempting to build a virtual machine Windows 2012. Is there a simple way to do this? I searched and not found anything really simplistic for my situation.

  Thanks for any help!

  You can use the Version property that is returned by Get-VMHost

• vCenter 5.1 - network problem between the host computers

  vCenter 5.1

  (2) the hosts running esxi 5.1

  I have VM in a single dvSwitch and dvPortGroup on two hosts - VM total 5.

  This is where it gets weird:

  -all VM on host1 can ping/browse all VM on host2

  -VM on host2 can ping/browse all * EXCEPT ONE * VM on host1.

  -All virtual machines can ping Bridge and beyond

  Otherwise said - VM1 on host 1 may VM3 and VM2 host2 ping, but VM3 and VM2 cannot ping VM1.

  No firewall or anything like that in the guests, because VM4 on host1 * CAN * ping VM1.

  Looks like an arp or vNetwork question.

  Thoughts, known problems?

  Found!

  I got 2 ports not tagged in the VLAN for switch problems.

  While everything went on-site in the configurations, hard links to the switch are the root cause.

  Thanks for your comments - he has led me on the way to finally discover the question.

• Install the older version before the upgrade version

  I have a similar situation but different problem: my iMac crash and had a new hard drive replaced and need to reinstall Adobe CS2 to upgrade to CS5 (version bought several years ago). Problem is now impossible to install CS2 on the new Mac OS X EL Capitan version 10.11.5. You have to install CS2 in order to continue to install CS5. The CS2 DVD cannot start the installation! He said that the PowerPC applications are more supported. But I bought the CS2 and CS5 (improved version) with licenses valid and authentic. How to solve this problem? Help, please. Thank you.

  You need not install the older version to install/activate the upgrade.  All updates are stand-alone versions.  When you go to activate the version upgrade, that he determines that there is no version older than qualification and asking you to identify the old version and provide its serial number as proof that you are eligible to use the upgrade.

• Is it support GSM version before the amps bluetooth profile?

  Hi all

  Future owner of pre in England here.

  I have a VW that has the last car premium bluetooth kit. This means amps connections only. Unfortunately, this excludes a lot of phones, because they do not support amps (iPhone being the main one I think).

  Can someone tell me if the GSM of the Pre version will support amps?

  Otherwise, the versions of Bell or Sprint does support amps?

  I've seen this question posted here before, but he had no answer, where my repeat request.

  Thanks for your time.

  Andy.

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  I have managed to speak with someone at the Palm in the United Kingdom and I can confirm that the Pre GSM version does not support amps.

  It's a shame, because it means that I will not get a. Specifically, my company very probably don't judge no more. Too much of our fleets have amps single car kits, so we have phones that work with them. Looks like my choices are either Nokia, Blackberry or Ugh... Windows Mobile.

  If anyone from Palm is listening, please implement this profile in a future update. Loads of VW, Audi and Skoda drivers will be very grateful.

• Incompatibility of logging postfix in OpenSSL versions after the server upgrade

  In my postfix logs, I get:

  "WARNING: Library Runtime vs. compile header version mismatch: OpenSSL 2.0.0 is not compatible with OpenSSL 0.9.8.

  When smtp or smtpd connections are attempted. It is true that it is only a warning and the connection goes ahead, but someone has an idea where can be found the error?

  This has happened only since the update of my Mac Mini (used as home to 10.11.4 Server) and Server 5.1!

  I'm seeing this too. So far there is no sequel, and I don't think it will be one question (other than the warning message). I doubt that this can be corrected without re - compile Postfix against the correct library/header. Will examine however.

• Vcenter VUM downgrade new drivers on the host update?

  Hello, I know that the deployment of patch 1 or 2 update, etc. via the command line with VIB installs, you can control whether Update 1 will demote or keep the newer drivers, such as network cards, adapter HBA, etc..

  I wonder what is the default behavior when say 5.1 to U1 by VUM? If I have a new driver from a vendor in U1 - would he kept--or demoted to what's in U1? Thank you!

  I test this. And U1 will overwrite all the seller provided pilots listed as extensions of the host.

• DB double on the new version of the host 8.1.6

  Do me right if I'm not...

  Duplicate database is made by RMAN, is not using cold backup, you are facing just the database files (IE cold backup) using OS
