• Download patches for ESXi5

  Hello.

  It is necessary to download all the patches for ESXi 5 installation - or is - is it enough to download the latest (at this time ESXi500-201112001) for installation on single server CLI?

  It contains all the previous ones?

  / Christian

  ESXi500-201112001 will be all you need because it is cumulative.

• Script the installation of patches

  Hi guys,.

  I need to update a bunch of ESXi5.5 self-contained bed and breakfast, about 160 remote locations.

  The hosts are autonomous, vMotion, etc. are not available options

  I'm trying to create a script to perform the following operations

  1. Stadium updates ESXi55 of VUM
  2. Power off all VM running on each host (I found how to do this by calling a list of virtual machines to a .csv and on each virtual machine using the command Stop-VM)
  3. Put the host in Maintenance Mode
  4. install the patches / updates
  5. Reboot the host after installation of patches/updates
  6. Powering the same VM who were earlier closure (again, found this by using the Start-VM command in step 2 above)
  7. Run a report on the Patching for audits of compliance (following a discussion by LucD for this)

  Someone has already tried this PowerCLI or should I stick with the GUI?

  Any help on any piece above would be great.

  Thank you

  Seems good, just some minor modifications.

  $vc = Read-Host "enter the name of the vCenter used to manage ESXi hosts.

  SE connect-VIServer $vc

  Game-PowerCLIConfiguration - ignore InvalidCertificateAction - confirm: $False

  $hosts = get-VMHost (Get-Content C:\Temp\ListOfHosts.txt)

  $BL_Name = Read-Host "Please enter the name of the baseline scan, for example primary ESX patches 2nd quarter of 2015.

  $baseline = get-Baseline | Where-Object {$_.} {Name: corresponds to "$($BL_Name)"}

• Patch201410101 - ESXi5.5Patch3 - Possible Bug?

  Hi all

  Host computers running on Dell M620, M610, M520, R420

  colleague of mine is patching all our guests from ESXi5.5 in our VI at the level of Microsoft3 (2143827) and we came across something strange:

  so far on our 2 x Dell M610 hosts, SSH and SHell Direct not available more.

  Is this a bug also met someone?

  Thanks in advance, rb51

  Not sure, but you can check if the SSH server "" appears in the inbound firewall rules of the host.

• ESXi5.5U2 - Patch03 on MacPro6, 1 - stuck on 'Initializaing ACPI.

  So I was wondering if someone else is having problems with this since VMware released the fix to take charge of the MacPro6, 1 a few weeks ago. I managed to created a custom ISO with PowerCLI to add the patch (ESXi550-201410001) and when I run the Setup it says build 2143827 which corresponds to this patch, so I'm assuming that the ISO is good.

  
  

  However, I'm running on an issue where when I start installation it freezes at "Initializing ACPI."... ». I started for MacOSX and there is no EFI or SMC update to apply.

  
  

  Specifics:

  
  

  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 - ESXi550-201410001

  
  

  MacPro6, 1

  8-core Intel Xeon ARE

  64 GB OF RAM

  Boot ROM: MP61.0116.B04

  SMC Version: 2.20f18

  
  

  Help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you
  

  @Gortee

  Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the ACPI on the Mac that I know. It is not a traditional menu of BIOS on Mac OSX EFI.

  ----

  However, I managed to finally get ESXi5.5U2 - Patch03 installed and thought I'd share my conclusion in case someone else has the issue. In my case, I had MP61.0116.B04 as my Boot ROM, however there is no EFI updates available to bring it to version supported for ESXi of MP61.0116.B05. So I opened a folder with Apple Engineering and was informed that OS X Yosemite applies an EFI update that is not available other than upgrade to Yosemite. Then... I installed Yosemite who brought my Boot ROM up to MP61.0116.B07 and ESXi installed without any problems.

  Key take-a-ways...

  1. Need to Boot ROM MP61.0116.B05 or higher
  2. Upgrade to Yosemite you will come to MP61.0116.B07 = ESXi install SUCCESSFUL!

• Update ESxi5.0 to ESXi5.1 upgrade

  Hello

  I go recently my 5.1 vCenter, however due to connectivity problem updateManager that I want to perform a manual upgrade for ESXi5.0 I wanted to manually download patches to load in repository VUM upgrade and go then the host via Host Manager Update. So far, I was unable to find the file of fix upgarde from esxi5.0 to esxi5.1

  We know?

  Thank you

  
  

  For this you need not download it. ISO from the VMware Web site, import on VMware Update Manager and set on a basic upgrade of the host.

  See the documentation for more details: Import of Images of ESXi

• !!!!! Drivers for Realtek RTL8111DL VIB and install it via Vcenter, not the cli in a server running ESxi5.5 production

  Hi guys,.

  someone can it provide and show me how to add it to a production of ESxi5.5 Server? I Don t want to customize and ISO and starting from scratch.

  Like many I search I found *. Files VIB and going the Ko, a peek at how to install it via vcenter appears:

  ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

  Existing ESXi installation using VMware Update Manager

  You can install the drivers async on an existing Update Manager VMware ESXi host. For more information, see using vSphere ESXi Image Builder CLI Guide of installation and Installation of vSphere.
  
  Note: Async drivers are developed by third-party providers and are subject to VMware certification. Third-party suppliers provide suggestions/recommendations for updating their drivers/firmware for specific versions of ESX/ESXi. As a result, VMware does not include these async drivers automatically in the Update Manager.
  
  To install the async drivers:
  

  1. Extract the contents of the zip driver async file.
  2. Identify the offline-bundle.zip file (s).
  3. Vcenter Server, go to the home page > Update Manager.
  4. Click the Repository of Patch .
  5. Click the link to the Import of patches at the top right of the screen.
  6. Click Finish. The async driver is added to the repository of the patch.
  7. Create a base Extension Host and sanitize the ESXi host. For more information, see the Guide of Directors of Update Manager.
  8. Restart the ESXi host once the restore is complete.

  
  

  *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

  What is the ZIP file of the async driver?  I only found a *. VIB

  What is the offline-bundle.zip file (s).?

  in point 3, I opened my HOUSE Vcenter and I Don t see UPDATE MANAGER, see picture

  
  

  
  

  
  

  So, I'm lost... again ... Could someone provice drivers for a REALTEK RTL811DL and show me how to install it easily in a production server. ?

  Thanks a lot to all

  Have you installed the plugin?

  As I said, the VUM consists of two parts: the server and the client plugin.

  You install the server from the installation media and the vSphere Client plugin itself.

  I found a post detailed with screenshots for you: vSphere Update Manager (VUM) (part 2) - Installation

• ESXi 5.0 to 5.1 manually download the patch?

  I'm sorry, this is a silly question.  I would like to use the Update Manager to update my hosts esxi 5.0 to 5.1 c (latest patch), but I'm in a situation where I need to download the patches manually.  I can't understand a patch that I should download the 5.0 to 5.1 initial update.  Again, I know it's probably look me right in the face

  ESXi510-201310001?

  ESXi510-201307001?

  Update - de - esxi5.1 - 5.1_update01?

  
  

  
  

  No doubt a document that explains, but I can't for the life of me find.
  

  For the initial of v5.0, v5.1 upgrade, you need to download the last install ESXi 5.1 .iso image in the Update Manager and create an upgrade of base "host. To apply the latest patches, you can create a patch with the latest batch of patches and helps to patch the previously set hosts to level.

• How can I update ESXi 5.0.0 Build 469512 with the latest patches

  I have the free version of VMware ESXi installed 5.0.0, build 469512.  When I try to download Update01, I get a message saying that I had no right to the update.  It is about creating a new, so I want her to be perfectly up-to-date before installing a virtual machine.  How can I change the version free with the latest security and feature patches without buying anything?

  You can download the update - from - esxi5.0 - 5.0_update01 patch in the download link for the Patch I posted above.

  I don't know if the installation of update 1 CD / ISO is available when you sign up for the free hypervisor well (I didn't try yet).

• How to apply the Patch to install CD

  I would like to integrate fixes from build 515841 on a CD (in fact, a USB key) trying to install ESXi5 469512 transformation.

  Is this possible?

  What is the purpose of the 'UPGRADE' on the CD directory. Could it be used to update an installation? Its content looks like a zip of maintenance.

  You can use to create an ESXi installation with a custom set of ESXi image updates and patches using ESXi Image Builder CLI.
