  • 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.

    Forgive me, but what is the point of the maintenance mode if you still need your complete production environment is restarted?

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Suggestion on the move from ESX3.5 to ESXi4.1 in mixed environment

    Hi people,
    I just wanted to know regarding the upgrade from ESX3.5 to ESXi 4.1. In my environment, there are 40 ESX ESX 3.5 version with 2 having 4.0 with SAN and DAS storage, but due to budget constraints we modernize only 5 ESX to ESXi 4.1 and the rest may be later. Need to know everything by keeping these diffirent version ESX in a mixed environment in different cluster will be no problem from the point of view of performance. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. VCenter version is 4.1

    Thank you
    vmguy

    They works perfectly on servers ESX 4.x = you will not be able to move the ESX host 3.5 without decommissioning of the virtual hardware

  • 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.

  • Upgrade from ESX3.5 to vSphere 5.0

    Hi all

    I have a project to upgrade on update my old host ESX 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5 to the most recent and vSphere vCenter Server 5.0 and 5.0.

    After having read in the doc upgrade and because of the environment is small, I decided to build a new vCenter Server from scratch rather than go through the upgrade process (mainly due to wanting to put vCenter on a virtual computer, upgrade the operating system to 64-bit, separate the VCDB on an external SQL Server etc.).

    I'm hoping to do an orderly migration where I vMotion VMs off-a former host, upgrade to vSphere 5, and vMotion the VMs, then turn it back on for her.

    My question is quite simple (I hope):

    Can I add vSphere 5.0 ESXi hosts and ESX 3.5 hosts in the same Cluster HA (assuming they are configured the same way in regards to the vSwitch and vMotion) after I added all hosts in vCenter 5?

    This is so that I can vMotion VMs ESX 3.5 hosts former on the new 5.0 vSphere hosts after an upgrade of the host.

    Virtual machines are all alive and I can't afford to have downtime...

    Thanks for your time...

    -Anthony

    Hi Anthony,.

    -There is no direct upgrade from ESX / I have 3.5 to 5.0

    -See link that has the checklist of HA and on ESX 35 x patch requirement inorder to add to 5.0 HA cluster

    http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.vSphere.avail.doc_50/GUID-BA85FEC4-A37C-45BA-938D-37B309010D93.html

    -If you upgrade VC25Ux, make sure that host certificates enabled, other wise HA configuration breaks down, link above has this info also

    -Yes, VMotion works between 5.0 ESX hosts and ESX35x whether network, CPU compatibility are according to the needs.

  • Question on Vsphere upgrade from ESX3.5 update 3

    We currently have our VCServer and race, but I'll be upgrading for Vsphere 4.0 Update 1. To do this, I need to build a new server, because our current server is not compatible with the hardware requirements. First of all, is there an easy way to migrate the settings from one server to another? Also the networks I will build as my local lan and my dmz, network adapter settings, etc... be there when I take my guests on the new Vsphere server. Are the specific server VC parameters or appearing in ESX boxes themselves?

    jkoelker wrote:

    So since I only change my virtual Center Server and without changing the physical material of boxes ESX but upgrading from 4.0 I still need to worry recreate all my settings. Depending on your position, the parameters are all specific to the ESX boxes and not the server Vcenter himself? I read that correctly? The only thing that happens is my Vcenter server. I'll put as the utility to update on what will update my esx boxes and Vsphere.

    If you do an upgrade to ESX4, so yes all the settings will be retained.

    I was under the impression that you have been rebuild the ESX host, that would be my choice of the upgrade.
