The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus
We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5
We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed
We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5
Using Enterprise + licenses
Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition. 4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.
That's what I think... Please help me guys
1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.
2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows
3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA
4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?
5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA. But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5
6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.
7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA
See you soon!
Pretty much.
To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

How to detect the upgrade of our own application
Hi, expert,
We use the CodeModuleListener to detect any deletion of the application and the addition. If our request is deleted, we get the removal of module for our own application, then we'd work dé - a correct initialization. However when our application is upgraded, we would get the deletion of the module for our own application as well, so we would trigger of - initialization, falsely, that is really not desirable.
Right now, we allow the upgrade through our own UI instead of the browser as our own UI upgrade would be made necessary by a specific menu and we know that an update will happen.
However the upgrade via browser, we do not remove current module comes from our application upgrade or remove our application by users. Just wonder if there is anyway to detect our own upgrade of the application.
Furthermore, permanent storage objects are not deleted during upgrade of the application and will be removed during the removal of the application, which is the expected behavior. It's just, there are some extra that we have informed our server during the removal of the application.
Hi fold.
It seems that now I am being misunderstood...
I wanted to say that you must create a new application that will install your original application and the download link would point to the new application.
In this way, users will download the new app (the Installer) and he will decide that this is a new installation or an upgrade for your initial application. -

The upgrade to vSphere clean install of P2Ving old Vcenter
I searched the Forum, and I have not found any discussion on this topic... again.
I'm not so sure that this discussion should be in this forum or a forum for Vmware converter... But I would like to put these questions to you in any case.
Scenario:
We're on ESX 3.5u3 now, with 22 guests and 1 server (physical) vCenter. We have chosen the Installer Clean way for infrastructure. As well as create the new vCenter as a virtual machine on a stand-alone host ESXi 4 server.
Because we are running out of material, we will follow this course of action.
1 P2V current vCenter Server on a virtual machine, so that we can still vCenter features during the upgrade/rebuild process
2 rebuild the old Server vCenter as a host ESXi 4.
3. building the new vCenter Server 4 as a virtual machine with Win2k8R2 etc etc and create a new database as well
4. then rebuild each of our ESX 3.5u3 hosts 2 both as 4u1 ESX or any update is the most recent.
5. once all hosts are reconstructed as ESX 4 we will then turn off the old server vCenter 2.5 VM and reactors as well as the old database.
5. then, of course, we will convert VM material on each guest one by one.
That's what I understand as a fairly straightforward environmental own reconstruction.
The questions I have are pretty simple, but I want to get as much input as possible:
1 will be the Server P2V process freak out vCenter vCenter when we reboot as a virtual machine?
2. can I use Vmware on the server vCenter converter to convert to a virtual machine and is not a problem when restarting a virtual machine?
Your comments are much appreciated.
Thank you
Yes... just point vconverter of an ESX Server, provide the root password /, choose data store and go.

Uninstall the upgrade of version 5.5 of v4 and reinstall v5.5 on new PC
I'm working on version 5.5, which was activated by a CD of the v4 upgrade. I have the serial numbers of v4 and v5.5.
Could someone confirm that what follows is the right way to transfer Captivate 5.5 upgrade from v4 to a new top of the tower.
1. on the old laptop (connected to internet) go to help on/off and select "deactivate permanently".
2. on the new laptop launch the installation of version 5.5 (see question below)
3. When asked to enter the serial number for upgrade version 5.5 and then v4 serial number
No idea where the v5.5 download link?
Thanks as always...
Noel
What in fact if all you have is a license upgrade and you install on a new machine, in addition to the deactivation of your previous on the original machine installation, you may need to INSTALL Captivate 4 first, then activate that, before installing Cp5.5 and activation through the upgrade license.
If your path can be much more complicated than what you want.

With regard to the registration of plugin for web client package in vcenter server
Hello
I am able to create the package (.zip file) plugin, using Eclipse plugin virgo and able to deploy and test the same thing with the serenity customer as described in the SDK tutorial.
To register for my plugin package as an extension with vcneter server, I followed steps below:
1 using the perl of the vi perl SDK code, and I am able to register the plugin and can see the crowd as well.
But I am unable to see the plugin in vcenter server. As newspapers are not get generated for web client. (Maintenance records is not created. All the required services are running).
Please suggest any script I can use to deploy the plugin for the production phase. And also the steps to generate logs.
Thank you very much.
I have attached a java program showing how to register a vSphere Client Web plugin with vCenter server. This program is not recommended for use in production because it does not check the certificates.
Also this program will work if your plugin zip archive is located at the url "http://". If your zip file is at url 'https://', then you must provide the digital fingerprint of the server in the server property of the
Extension data object. You can do the same way that the property of the customer was populated in the provided code. Here is the link to the Extension object where you can find all of the properties of an object to extend VMware vSphere 5.1

HP DV6-7080eb: the upgrade HP DV6 - 7080eb 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz
I am presently got an Intel Centrino WIreless - N 2330 in my HP DV6-7080eb chip. I would like to upgrade to 5 GHz and I wonder what that forge chip is compatible with my system.
There is no card dual band compatible, I'm sorry to say. Your laptop has BIOS dreaded "whitelist" that blocks the installation of all but a handful of wifi cards. It's the list and you MUST use a card with a HP part number, not just the good chipset:
Atheros WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 adapter and 1 × 1 9485GN 3012 655795-001
Atheros 802.11b/g/n adapter Bluetooth 675794-001 1 × 1 WB225
Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 20702 4.0 Combo Adapter 657325-001 1 × 1
Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN 670691-001
Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 WiFi and 2070 Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Combo Adapter (BT3.0 + HS loan) to be used on the models of computer with a processor AMD to Brazil 600370-201
Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WLAN to be used on the computer with a processor Intel to the 670290-001 Japan models
Do not know how you have the chip Intel Wireless - N 2330 works in yours, but who is probably the best you can do.
The Advanced-N 6230 is wrong. The reference number given is incorrect and it's really a single band Ralink card. Don't think that you are the first person to ask, or that we have not fully explored here in the Forum. I'm sorry.

Hello
I downloaded yesterday the BB App World 1.1.0.33 for my 8900 Javelin and just realized today that my App World icon is gone / hidden!
I HAV to search all folders and it isn't here.
When I checked my applications in options, it is quite there as being fully installed!
How to 'show' or find App World please?
jmrmb80 wrote:
On the home screen is it hidden? Have you checked if it was hidden in the Applications folder or downloads?
No it is not hidden on the homescreen as I put it to show all. It was not located in the downloads folder. I mentioned earlier that when I checked on the list of installed Applications, it was listed as being installed on the system.
My solution was to remove the slice of the list of Applications, restart the device and then reinstall once more (I did twice btw). When I did the second time I checked the downloads folder and it is finally here! I hope this helps @ rcorai.
Although I preferred pretty well if I could have located the previous app rather than delete n re-install!

What is the specific need Drivers/firmware for an ESXi Upgrade 6 U2 R520?
Running VSphere 5.5 now planning the upgrade to vSphere 6 U2. Looking for specific requirements or the needs of the update before performing the upgrade. Appreciate any experience or your willingness to share knowledge.
Thanks Chris
Hello
I suggest you research the procedures on the VMware site. I'm not aware of any firmware or BIOS upgrade requirements. You must use our custom image to perform the upgrade. Our custom image contains VIBs necessary for the equipment of the service. If you use a standard VMware image to perform the upgrade, then it is possible that the operating system cannot load correctly due to drivers missing/VIBs.
You can find our custom image on the download page for the R520 to dell.com/support. Change the operating system up to VMware 6 and it is listed under the category of Enterprise Solutions.
Thank you

The upgrade of the host, VMware ESXI 4.1
Hello
I am running a host VMware ESXi 4.1. It seems that VMware claims now this product VMware vSphere Hypervisor (am I right?). Was it a name change purely marketing, or they introduce new functions as well? Is VSphere Hypervisor a more recent version of ESXi
Is there a tool to upgrade VMware ESXi 4.1 for newer versions (no matter if their output yet or not, just wondering about the upgrade in general)?
Thanks in advance!
Don't worry, it's all the same. You have the same binary files for all editions of ESXi, it is only the license key that locks or unlocks features. I think that the main reason why VMware decided to call ESXi free edition "Hypervisor" was because many people were confused that ESXi is free or not.
There are two upgrade options ESXi. For the first, you must have a licensed version of vCenter Server, which offers the "Update Manager". The second is to use the command line utility "vihostupdate".
In addition, you can take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx41/Patching_4.1_with_the_host_update_utility.php
