Options for my specific upgrade?

OK, we currently have three ESX 3.5 hosts who are regularly HP DL385s.  Another DL385 is used as a system of vCenter 2.5.  Around 20 or more computers spread over the three virtual.

We just bought our first blade chassis and we'll move all of our ESX host on 4 BL480 (blades).  What is the best way to address the issue?  I was considering also virtualize our vCenter since I heard a lot of people do now and Dr. purposes it's nice.

If I don't mind losing the 'statistics' the old vcenter can I set up a new virtual machine and install vSphere Center on it and then attach all ESX existing hosts to it without worrying about messing around with the VirtualCenter 2.5?

Thank you.

If you want to lose your stats so what you describe is a perfect way to migrate to new hardware, as well as to move to vSphere - don't know if you saw this document - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_upgrade_guide.pdf

  • Options for Non disruptive upgrades

    Apart from two-way replication using Oracle Golden Gate, there are other options that can help make upgrades without interruption (upgrades with no downtime)? This question is for Oracle 12 c.

    Thank you

    Hello

    When you migrate a database, there is no method doesn't provide 0 time solutions.

    Even in two-way replication of golden gate, you will have to do it level by level and when I consider the module by module, module should be reduced to one end OR we will terminate connection, so there are lost connection... But we can expect very close 0 solution to migration of downtime with the Golden Gate

    any other method will be kept more then this downtime...

  • Best Option for 4.1U1 to 4.1U3 upgrade

    I have ESXi 4.1 update 1 currently installed (vSphere Hypervisor). We do not vCenter.

    I'm trying to find the best option for the upgrade of the hypervisor, ESXi 4.1 U1 to ESXi 4.1 U3. I must:

    1 using the Installable version, and once installation is complete, restore the configuration settings using a configuration file saved with PowerCLI?

    2. use a version upgrade from 4.1 U3 with vihostupdate?

    If I go with #2, which download do I need? Thanks for your help. I'm reading the tutorials, but some of it is particularly unclear, in particular upgrade options (rather than clean install) I like to do it if possible.

    Welcome on it community.

    There are a couple of documentation on foot and hollows that explain how patch a single host (for example http://www.vladan.fr/how-to-update-the-esxi-4-1-free-version-to-esxi-4-1-update-1/) in your case just replace the patch bundle with Update--esxi4.1 - 4.1_update03

    Ensure that all virtual machines are (non-suspended) turned off before applying the batch of patches.

  • HDD upgrade options for Satellite 2410-504

    Hello

    I am looking to upgrade the HARD drive on my 2410-504 but have found no information on what limitations there are on a HARD drive more large size.

    The thread by Sherlock for the upgrade of 2410-404 suggests a load up to 60 GB capacity, but the user for the 504 manual says it was only produced in 20 and 30 GB packages.

    Anyone know what is the largest capacity HARD drive that can be placed in a 504 and who will always be recognized by BIOS, etc?

    Thanks in advance

    Pete

    Post edited by: pete.o

    Hello Pete

    This information can give you the right Service partner of Toshiba (responsible for the hardware upgrade) or an independent hardware vendor.
    I can imagine that 60 GB HARD drive should not be problem, but with more than that can cause HARD drive is not recognized correctly.

    Call them and ask. Ask doesn? t cost a lot.

    I get error frequently below.  In General, when you navigate on old posts on the forum SQL and PL/SQL, after reading a post, I click on the left arrow in my Firefox browser, which I expect to take me to the page of the posts that I had.  Instead, I get a page with no messages.  I then click on a forum page numbers in the upper right corner.  Sometimes brings back me to the page that displays the list of the posts that I had.  However, more often I get the below error.  So try to navigate from one position to another is desperately slow.  You can fix this?  Everybody brings a work around to be able to get from one station to another, or at least back to old messages without the error page?  This is a problem that happened before and after the upgrade.

    Have you tried right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) and choose 'Open link in a new tab' instead? With all the dynamic html today browser back and before options are often dead still. If you open links in a new tab or window, you can simply close the window instead of using the back button. It may take awhile to get used to it, but there are some benefits, such as the loading of the pages in the background, and you do not lose the focus of the page where you. You can disable "when I open a link in a new tab, swtich it immediately." If I understand your problem, maybe it works better.

  • Option for "SSH Server" for the firewall under "safety profile"?

    Hello

    We have upgraded all ESXi hosts to vSphere 5.1.

    Question 1

    =========

    We observe that for a specific ESXi host, the option button is avaialbe (others are gray).  We are able to change the political beginning and can 'start' / 'stop' and 'restart' this service.

    We cannot see any difference between this server and other hosts of ESXi.

    Question 2

    =========

    We would also like to ask the opinion that, if we want to connect to the SSH console, the procedure is to start the SSH Service (Services) and check "SSH Server" (Firewall)?

    Thank you

    I would just leave if you verified that it is the same build as the other 5.1 hosts.

  • Legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7

    I am new to this forum and am revolted by the attitude of the staff of the Toshiba customer support to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to windows 7, here's an email I wrote in which I would appreciate your comments on:

    To the right.

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your response to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7 see I recently spent more than £1,000 of one of your products.

    After having several problems with the Vista operating system, I telephoned your customer on December 4 and had a conversation with an employee who could not satisfy me as to why my machine was not entitled to an update free to Windows 7, as mentioned on your web site.

    He offered to take me up to a supervisor I agreed and that was connected to a female member of staff who tried to explain that my model did not appear in the "promotion". I couldn't sense in explaining, in the context of facts that my machine was of the same age and from the same family as those seen offer "promotion."

    This employee was still unable to respond or understand my question and said that it is not technical interested so I asked him to put me through to his supervisor and after 10 minutes on the line, I need to speak to Alistair Cook.

    Mr. Cook explained 'promotion' for me, but could not explain why my model was not an option, so he said he'd call at the time where he discovered why. What he has made some time after and repeated her account earlier with no clarity. He said he would do more research on the issue and send me the results.

    This contacting your customer support Office took a total of 48 minutes on the phone.

    Vista is of all intentions, a failure, a fact that you accept your offer of free updates to your customers, so why discriminate against some consumers and not others.

    I am a user of long-standing computers Toshiba, the Qosmio is my third laptop and I have always been satisfied customer support, not that it was greatly needed. So, I ask again that do you the right thing and give me my eligibility based on principles.

    Yours sincerely.

    Hi mate

    Very interesting point of view.
    But the fact is that not all cell phones from Toshiba are checked for an upgrade to Windows 7.
    Why?

    Well, I checked Toshiba European page
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> Windows 7 upgrade

    and there I was able to find a list of FAQS.

    One of the FAQ provides this info:

    _What requirements I must meet to participate in the program of upgrade? _

    + To participate in the upgrade program, you must meet the three following criteria: +.
    + 1. You purchased your Toshiba computer between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010. +
    + 2. Your Toshiba computer is one of the series of model to check on the Toshiba page. +
    + 3. With your Toshiba computer, you bought an operating system Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, Windows Vista® professional or Windows Vista® Ultimate Edition. +

    It seems that several criteria must be met in order to participate in the Windows 7 upgrade program.
