• Use the host update utility or install ESXi4 Installable Update 2?

  I have 3 ESXi 4.0 host and you want to upgrade to 4.0 Update 2 and never really used the host update utility, but I doubt if Host Update Utility allows some dirt or something.
  
  I've read in a book but said nothing, while it records the settings of network, security and storage.
  
  What could be better? Use the host update utility or install ESXi4 Installable Update 2?

  Kind regards!

  If you have found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'Useful'*.

  Host update utility is the safest way to do it - and you will save the local VMFS more your configuration.

  If you go directly to the host with the installation CD, your configuration will not be saved, just the VMFS (that with ESXi). In addition, is a way of failure to take in charge of the upgrade.

  Dirty? With ESXi, I really doubt...

• Update ESX4 to ESX5i cluster and licensing questions

  Hello

  I have 2 groups:

  ESX 4 (former cluster) and ESX5i (new cluster), the material is quite similar

  I would like to upgrade (or fresh install) the ESX 4 to ESX5i cluster

  In is it permissible? I have just ESX5i licenses assigned to the new cluster, should I use for the old cluster upgrade? Should I buy new licenses for the new cluster of ESX5i?

  Last question: is it better an upgrade or a new installation?

  Thank you

  You can consider deleting access to shared storage that you build a fresh or upgrade because it eliminates the risk of overwriting your data warehouses.

• Need help to update ESX4.1

  Dear team,

  In my environment, I have 50 + guests, ESX, but all are ESX4.1.0 260247. I m asking the client and management team we need to update these hosts atleast ESX 4.1.0 721871, but they are not ready to do so.

  That is right. I wanted to just make sure that you are aware that, before the update 1, Standard edition did not include vDR.

• Migration ESX4.0 to ESXI4.1

  Today July 13, VmWare released version 4.1 of Vsphere.  After reading some material of VmWare I read the sentence in the text below: VMware ESXi is the Platform recommended for new and existing customers. Shared future hypervisor beyond vSphere 4.1 is only based on this architecture

  VmWare recommends upgrade to ESXI version.

  Questions: Do I have any with ESXI features I had with ESX?  (Vmotion, storage vmotion, etc...)

  Did I buy licenses ESXI or ESX licenses I have currently will be ok if I migrate to version ESXI4.1?

  Thank you

  What hypervisor choose to deploy with VMware vSphere?

  VMware ESXi is the Hypervisor architecture next generation of VMware. More small base code and lack of reliability on the VMware ESXi general operating system make more reliable and safer choice. Its compact design allows it to be incorporated in traditional physical servers for faster and easier deployments. VMware ESXi has also been designed in a spirit of simplicity. Its start menus and automatic configurations make the best way to learn about the VMware virtualization.

  VMware ESXi is the Platform recommended for new and existing customers. Shared future hypervisor beyond vSphere 4.1 will be based only on this architecture.

  Hello

  Do I have any with ESXI features I had with ESX? (Vmotion, storage vmotion, etc...)

  There is no difference in functionality between ESX/ESXi car these features related license, not the architecture type.  The differences are limited to the level of how to administer the server (e.g.: since there is more 'service console', it is necessary to use vMA or rCLI pour some operations) the detailed list of differences is available at the link according to http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1023990

  Did I buy licenses ESXI or ESX licenses I have currently will be ok if I migrate to version ESXI4.1?

  No, these are the same licenses.  However, you must have a valid maintenance contract to access updates.

• Update ESXi3.5 to ESXi4 with limited RAM

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware and I have converted the desktop PC in ESXi servers for learning technology. Currently, a desktop P4-EM64T enabled with 1 GB of RAM is running ESXi3.5 and I plan to update to ESXi4 after adding another 1 GB. I have a few question for experts to clarify.

  (1) the 1 GB of RAM already present in the desktop computer's type DDR1 and shown only 986 MB in the bios, so if I add an another 1 GB total will be close to 1 800 MB and not 2 GB, what is the minimum RAM required for ESXi4. I'm still able to install ESXi4?

  (2) the processor is 64-bit P4 and active hyperthreading so would it be compatible with the ESXi4 that I don't know the difference between the processor with native support for 64-bit and 64-bit computing active. Please enlighten me.

  I have already invested a lot for the material and I want to wisely use the money on the purchase of more equipment. Please help me by clarifying the questions above.

  Thanks in advance.

  What is the processor Intel REAL? Search the ultimate site Whitebox ESX (www.ultimatewhitebox.com) to see if it supports (or is supported / tested for) ESX/ESXi 4 or not...

  2 GB of RAM is the MINIMUM you need to install or use ESX/ESXi 4... Just saw that means you might be able to run a VM, then again, you might not. A more realistic minimum RAM is 4 GB, with 8GB (or more) being much better.

  You need to enable virtualization in the bios to start THAT ALL 64-bit VM on these systems. Otherwise, you're stuck only 32-bit clients.

  I recommend to install 4u1 ESXi on a USB stick (at least 2 GB in size) and which allows to test each system to see IF you can even run ESXi 4u1 on them. You can easily run questions with unsupported on-board hard disk controller, or another key (for example, the map NETWORK) was not supported and then you down until you can actually get more material which will ESXi4...

  I'm actually starting a server Dell PowerEdge 860 with 4 GB RAM, no HDD inside, with a processor Intel Pentium D 915 (dual core, 64-bit) as a test. I installed ESXi4u1 on the 2 GB USB flash drive not that long ago and has been able to run it on some other systems. It shows the processor correctly (on the splash screen), but also the ESXi to build number (244038) everything is OK... Just waiting for the last piece of load before I connect from my main work system.

  To be completely honest, just because you've managed to get some PC workstation in to run ESXi 3.5 by a simple memory increase no way guarantee will allow you to run ESXi 4... There are several parts of a system that must be compatible / correct before you will be able to use the product. You'd be better off getting systems that have components listed on the VMware HCL so you don't need to worry... I speak entirely supported processors, speed variators (hardware RAID), memory of the quantities (go beyond the minimum of bone bare) and even the hard drives themselves.

  Since the beginning of this message, the server PE860 is completely restarted in ESXi 4 and works. I have no need to assign a NETWORK adapter for the management network, before he could ping and others, but once that it is fully operational. The beauty of the use of the USB to test, it's that you don't need to jump through lots of hoops to get ESXi installed 4u1. You just need to be able to boot from USB (on the system that you want to use/test) and then do it. I give serious thoughts to this method for the next system/host server that I pick up that will go in my lab at home (such as a perm resident)... I'll probably end up doing some readers flash twice, just in case one is going bad on me...

• Questions about updates on IMac

  I've not updated Imac

  with Yosemite, I have before El Capitan?

  No, you can go directly to El Capitan assuming that your Mac meets the specifications

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_US

  In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. The idea that the updates/updates cause problems is probably derived from discussions that see you here. ASC is like an emergency room for people to have problems, especially the sick, those who come here. Not the hundreds of thousands of people pass without difficulty, never here and go merrily on their way. In addition to the improved features, updates/improvements important security fixes.

  Things you should do before moving...

  1. backup copy. Anything can happen at any time, so you should always keep a good backup. Make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

  2. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

  3 control of HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

  4. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps.

  5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

  6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Duplicate and drag the copy to other locations it download so if you want to save the installer.

  7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

• Satellite X 200-219: Question about updating the display driver?

  Sad tales I've heard talk about manufacturers of laptop never updated to gfx card drivers apply to toshiba?

  Any info on the question of whether an update for their SLi systems drivers display is on the horizon?

  see you soon-

  The fact is that display driver cannot be updated daily as for desktop computers. Priority by the manufacturers of cell phones is worrying about the operation of the equipment. Using new graphics card drivers will be forced to run faster and better that offers better graphics performance. The result is essentially an overheating and may end with a faulty graphics card.

  In this case, the card mother together must be exchanged and it costs a lot of money. So, I think that no one can say with certainty when the next pilot will be available.

• Question about updating map of RAM and graphics on Equium A100-027

  Hello
  I have an Equium A100-027 with 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512MB modules)
  If I would like to raise the speed, which RAM modules would need? I also need a new graphic card, can I buy a graphics card or should it be some for my laptop?

  Hello

  in regard to your question upgrade:

  RAM-> you need 200 pin DDR2 RAM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

  Graphics-> update is not possible, because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard of your laptop, which means it s 'wired '.

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

• Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

  I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

  Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
  Is this good?

  So now my suggestion;
  Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
  The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

  By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

• Question about updating the BIOS and drivers

  Hello

  First time user. How will I know if I need to update bios and drivers? I don't want to go crashing my system, just because Toshiba say these items are available for my laptop! They were probably in the updates of windows?

  Help, please.

  Hi Andy

  Welcome to our small community
  First a little advice you should always write the name of your laptop.

  OK now, to you in general I have a question would not recommend to update anything if you laptop and operating system is stable and you don t have problems.
  Of course the update of the driver is not risky, but I would only run updates some compatibility problems with 3rd party software or hardware appears.

  The update of the BIOS is risky. Wrong or bad BIOS update procedure could damage the ROM module on the map. So be careful.

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

  If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
  The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

  The good BIOS and how to upgrade the BIOS information you will find on the page of Toshiba.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Windows may freeze if multiple programs are running at the same time or if Windows is infected by a virus or malware.

  I suggest you to execute the resolution of performance issues and check if that helps.
  Reference:
  Open the troubleshooter of Performance
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

  It checks issues that could slow down the performance of your computer, such as how many users is currently connected to the computer and if multiple programs are running at the same time.

  Please also run Microsoft safety scanner to check and remove any viruses or malware that may cause the problem.
  Reference:
  Microsoft safety scanner
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this information helps.
