• the upgrade to ESX 4.1

  Hello

  Do you need upgrade to vCenter 4.1 before the upgrade to ESX 4.1 guests?

  I get an error message in Update Manager when I try to download the upgrade zip file.

  The error I get is - impossible to import the upgrade. : Error file download.

  Any idea what could be the cause?

  Thanks in advance

  You must certainly vCenter upgrade before you upgrade any host ESX (i) 4.1 is only supported on vCenter 4.1. Upgrade packages are also different from those used with 4.0, which could be the reason for the error in the MUV.

• The upgrade from 11g to 12 c

  Hello

  We intend to improve our databases of 11g (11.2.0.3.11) to 12 c (12.1.0.2). We would like to know what are the steps that we need to upgrade the position.

  (1) all 11 g AWs automatically updated to 12 c? or do we rebuild US 11g AWs on 12 c after the upgrade? (We had to rebuild AWs after upgrading to 10g and 11g)

  (2) are there accessories performance in 12 c, which will apply to only AWS built on top of the 12 c?

  (3) we have an AW 10 g 11 g-based. Is it still compatible with 12 c AW?

  Thank you

  Dietsch.

  Hi dietsch,

  My answers are online.

  (1) all 11 g AWs automatically updated to 12 c? or do we rebuild US 11g AWs on 12 c after the upgrade? (We had to rebuild AWs after upgrading to 10g and 11g)

  The upgrade from 11g to 12 c requires no AWs to rebuild.

  (2) are there accessories performance in 12 c, which will apply to only AWS built on top of the 12 c?

  He might have a few new optimizations that have been incorporated into the version of 12 c of the AW you will not have access to until you rebuild the AW, but that does not prevent you from using the 11g version of the AW of 12 c.

  (3) we have an AW 10 g 11 g-based. Is it still compatible with 12 c AW?

  Yes, 12 c is backward compatible with an AW 10 g.

  In addition, once you upgrade it has some new features that you can use for OLAP.  The display below describe some of them.

• The upgrade from VMware Workstation 12: can I install above?

  So I just bought a license to upgrade to workstation 12. Now, I noticed that it is (finally) 64-bit native. However, 11 Workstation is native 32-bit. Can I just install VMware Workstation 12 top like I did the upgrade from 10 to 11? Because the 10 and 11 were native 32-bit.

  The question is moot.
  Upgrade has always meant uninstall the old version, install the new version.
  If you do it yourself, you have more control, but the results will be the same.

  The safest option is: uninstall manually - reboot - check registry for services that have not been removed - if necessary, repair registry - restarts again and then install the new version right after the restart.

• The upgrade from older version of ESX

  Hello

  I have 3 esx (esx a, b esx esx esx 3.01 c) in a cluster to say Cluster 1 and 2 (esx d and e esx) tell of 3.02 in another cluster, cluster 2. The VC is 2.0.

  Is it possible for me to first switch the VC to 2.5 and go then the esx say 2 weeks later and will be the last VC to manage the existingesx 3.01 and 3.02?

  If I want to perform an inplace upgrade. Am I right to say that I have A ESX ESX B and C ESX vmotion, then stop ESX A. Discconct ESX in SAN, then boot from the CD and it will be automatically upgraded to the new version? This is the way recommended and upgrade?

  If I'm going to maintenance mode, a little curious how can the CD ESX 3.5 can be configured to be bootable fo the upgrade?

  Finally, I have about 80 VM and how do I set the VM in a faster way instead of connection in to each virtual a computer upgrade tools.

  Thank you for your patience

  Thanks Troy, really nice tool, it can even improve Linux VM, but does not restart such the VM (and tools do not start, so manual intervention is necessary, tested on Fedora8 & novel OES2 Suse)

• Questions about the upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1

  I posted the following to the thread in the forum of Vsphere upgrade, and in five days I got ZERO responses. Perhaps more here and even here is the wrong place to post things, or maybe I'm not questions easily answer. I'll post it here too, since it mainly Virtual Center, I think. Maybe someone can help me or tell me what is the problem with my announcement that allows to go unanswered. Here we go:

  I'm about to upgrade my little (1 4 host ESX and Virtual Center) environment vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  My database to the virtual Center lives on a separate SQL server 2008R2 server. My virtual Center Server is virtual, if that matters. I have upgraded my licenses and read the documentation, to try to formulate a plan that escapes enough causing any downtime for my virtual machines.

  I am designing a series of steps that are all pretty low, and such that each step does not harm anything, whereas if I have problems, I can take my time to solve. Then, when this step is stable, I can continue to the next step. I want to tell you what I have in mind, ask a question here and there and hope you can report errors that I make and answer my questions. The big picture is:

  1 Virtual Center update and give him a few days to show me any problem before doing anything else.

  2. upgrade to a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Convince me things are okay, before you do more.

  3. put to level the other three 4.1 ESX hosts. Make sure that everything is fine.

  4 create new LUNS, formatted with the new VMFS, move my VM to them and remove the old one.

  If there is nothing wrong with this basic plan, please let me know.

  More details and questions:

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  I would greatly appreciate all advice and attention that you may have.

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  If your environment is small you can run all these in one and ofcouse if you execute all these in a server you need more RAM... There is no limit.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  normally if you think only in terms of scalability, it is good to have separate these things... He is sure no questions evey thing won't work if you install it on the same server also.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? No, but talk about Client 5.1 Virtual Center 4.1

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  these steps are ok

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  BLI, or DRAC suites method what ever you... very well.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Installing esxi will not hurt of thing... to the old VMFS... It will ask to keep or to format the old vMFS... BUT I prefer to remove the cables... BECAUSE we are humans...

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  no need... . If the hardware is on the HCL, I mean the firmware/driver etc... for the esx is on the HCL, then no problem...

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  assign the new LUN and create VMFS and migrate... It'S her!

• Direct upgrade from esx 3.5 to esx 4.1

  Hello

  I've already upgraded to vCenter 2.5 to 4.1, now I'm upgraded by train from esx 3.5 to esx 4.1 and all of the articles and videos that I have read say that I need to download the upgrade zip file and do the upgrade through VMware host update utility (as I am only upgrade 2 hosts).

  However, when I try to download the zip file, the only option I get is

  ESX 4.1 Update 1 (updated the ZIP of ESX 4.0)
  Use this package with vCenter Update Manager 4.1 U1 or vihostupdate vCLI or esxupdate command line to upgrade ESX ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.1 update 1.

  Which allows an upgrade to version 4.0 (or if she says).  Can I use this zip file?

  I even went back through all the versions 4.0, and there is no upgrade for 3.5 anywhere zip file?

  How can I make this update of the utility of the upgrade using the host?

  Concerning

  Steven

  In my view, an error in the above steps.

  Are you using ESX and ESXi, you will need to download ESX 4.1 install ISO for upgrade from ESX3.5 to ESX4.1 driver

  You must use vCenter Update manage or esxupgrade.sh for upgrade. No other tool as vihostupdate, host update utility etc. are not supported.

  For more details from vCenter update manager, refer to the admin guide and for esxupgrade.sh, see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1009440&sliceId=2&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=170100028&stateId=1%200%20170096294

• Eager to HELP! On the upgrade from ESX3.5 to vSphere4.1

  Help! Help! Help! This problem has me stuck for a few days... Thank you all for your kindly help in advance!

  I need to upgrade 2 ESX 3.5 server to vSphere4.1, and I've updated vcenter from 2.5 to 4.1. VCenter is installed on one of the virtual machines in ESX3.5 server (let's call this node-A, another node-B ESX Server).

  I intend to upgrade the node-B, then move vcenter and Update Manager from node A to node B, and then to upgrade node-A. This process is OK?

  For the upgade process:

  I had Manager Update installation on another virtual computer on node A and download the ESX4.1.0.iso of "Host upgrade releases" using the vSphere client. Then I create a new baseline, choose the option to upgrade host base type and select a data store that resides on the local disk on node-B. Fix this reference to the node B, node b, then analyze the updates, result shows that this basic line is non-compliant. I don't know why it is non-compliant, I found not the newspaper.

  Any tips on that? Thanks to you all!

  The clean-up operation will not proceed if you got under virtual machines on the host you are trying to clean up.

  Now, if you have configured mode fully automatic DRS, everything will be done for you (when you start the operation of sanitation, the host is placed in maintenance mode, then all running virtual machines are evacuated to another host). Otherwise, you'd have to all VMs running manually vmotion to another host.

• Keep VM during the upgrade to ESX 3.5 Starter

  I executed an ESXi 3.5 with 4 VM and upgrade to the version of ESX Starter.  No backup copy of these virtual machines (does not seem possible under ESXi) and an export to backup box also does not work because there is a lot of snapshots on virtual machines. (system used to trainingpurposes).  Y at - it a medium backup of ESX upgrade keeping these VM?

  It is no problem to install 3.5 from scratch and reconfigure the system, but I have to be sure that the virtual machine disappeared not later .  If there is no upgrade path records, is there a way to create a backup of these virtual machines or an export without removing snapshots?

  I hope someone can help me

  Concerning

  Martinus

  Since you are ready to install ESX 3.5 from scratch and to reconfigure the system, you can go for the option in the installer ESX 3.5 "Dungeon of the VMS and the VMFS (virtual machine file system) that contains. This option will ensure that the existing VMFS volumes that have intact, virtual computers during the ESX displays. After installation, you can manually register the virtual computers.

  In this case, you don't need to make backup of virtual machines, since VMFS volumes are secured intact.

  Fixing of the screen for you reference.

• The upgrade from ESX3.5

  I intend to improve 3.5 U2 to U4 production environment. Definition of ESX for maintenance mode is perfect, but after the upgrade the upgrade of VMware ESX tools should be mounted on all virtual machines that require the restart of these VMs. in this case all of my production.

• upgrade from ESX 2.5.2 VirtualCenter 1.3 to ESX 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5

  What you call experts! I have 3 new ESX 3.5 servers and a new configuration of Lefthand SAN.  I have 3 old 2.5.2 running in VC 1.3 ESX host.  I need to upgrade to 2.5 VC.  It is better to simply create a new VC Server?  I also get all the VMs on ESX 2.5.2 new environmental VMFS2 servers.  What is the best way to do it?  2.5.2 VMotion Server server 3.5 upgrade virtual hardware then VMtools?  For that I must add the 2.5.2 VC 2.5 Server servers can add 2.5.2 servers in a new VC 2.5 with my ESX 3.5 hosts?  I'm looking for minimum downtime.  I have only 20 virtual machines.  So, to summarize what is my best upgrade/migration path?   I understand that I can not upgrade my virtual server from 1.3 to 2.5 in place and it seems to be the best just create a new one?

  Thanks to all of you who take the time to help me with this.

  Virtual center of Setup program on a new virtual machine in the new environment.

  Present records ESX 2.5 to the new 3.5 servers. As they are VMFS2 they will be displayed read-only for guests of 3.5.

  For each virtual machine that you want to migrate, you create a new virtual machine in version 3.5 but are not all discs.

  Stop the vm 2.5. SSH into your 3.5 host and copy the diskfiles 2.5 LUN on a LUN that belongs to your 3.5 environment.

  vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/old_LUN/examplevm/examplevm.vmdk/vmfs/volumes/new_LUN/examplevm/examplevm.vmdk

  The disc is now copied to the new location and you must change the vmdk file.

  VI /vmfs/volumes/new_LUN/examplevm/examplevm.vmdk

  change of buslogic to free and save. You will now be able to set the drive on the virtual machine that you created with you customer VI.

  After disc is attached right clik on the virtual machine and choose upgrade virtual hardware. Turn on the virtual machine, save your ipconfig and upgrading vmware tools restart and set the IP.
