trying to give a list of patches ESX sense

Hello, with a bit of confusion about the list of patch...

It seems that ESX 3.5 update 4 was released on 03/30/2009

It also seems that there are many other fixes published on 30/03/2009.

Are these additional fixes not included in update 4?  That's happened?  Are there major bugs discovered immediately after the release?  It seems strange to me VMware would release a new major update to the media but does include all of these updates in the release.  How can I easily know what patches I really need for a newly installed 3.5 update 4 computer ESX?

at the moment I don't have the means in place for the installation of patch management solution I just want to get the updates, I really need and install them.  Maybe VMware label patches as 'post update 4 patch' or something like that so that we know what is really needed?  Maybe I'm making it harder that it really should be, suggestions appreciated.

Thank you

These patches are incldued in the 04 Update.  If you look at update04, you will see that these patches are included in the list of patch update04 provides.  You will also see that they are the same build number.

  • Manager Update and patching ESX hosts

    We have 2.5u3 with ESX 3.5u2 VC.

    We want to use VMware Update Manager to patch the ESX host. I created a reference database containing patches ESX and attached to a host ESX to test. I have a scanner and it came with 28 patches that need to be installed, which is ESX update 1.

    Why would it need to install ESX 1 update when we already run ESX Update 2?

    No idea, or do I just exclude it?

    This is a bug of gui... it will not be applied.

  • List installed patches

    I apologize for the fundamental question of the vfery.

    Given a member a vSphere infrastructure ESXi host 5.x, how can I see the list of patches installed or see if a given patch is installed?

    Is it the same if the Update Manager is installed or is unavailable?

    Concerning

    Marius

    You can use the following command:

    esxcli - server = server_name vib software list

    The hotfixes installed on the ESXi host will be listed, regardless of how they have been installed.

  • You have patch ESX in sequential order?

    What is good practice when the patching ESX?  For example it would cause issues if you upgrade ESX 4 Update 1 ESX 4 update 3?  Do you still need to apply ESX 4 Update 2 so that other update services?

    Update 3 will include those of update 2. If you use the command-line on this excellent step by step. U

  • numbers WWPN want list of all ESX 3.5, with a single click

    In my VMware environment, I am managing around 250 + ESX 3.5 servers. Now, I'm in the work of documentation for all the ESX servers. I want to list the WWPN of all 250 + ESX servers with its corresponding host name.

    It would be more appreciated if anyone make my work easier (Expecting a click).

    Thank you

    GaneshNetworks

    Hi Ganesh,

    I know you're new to scripting, but I think that the document I linked to getWWPN.pl gives good enough details on what is required to use the script and the requirements, it is meaningless for me to repeat what is already there.

    1. you pouvez run on vCenter Server if you wish, the requirement is that you have the installed vCLI. You certainly can not execute from the ESX host directly. The recommended approach is to install the Urinl (comes in both Windows & Linux) on another management system which can communicate to your vCenter Server network.

    2. here is the list of the hosts that is attached to your vCenter Server server, you must use the display name that is used when you connect your host ESX or ESXi, vCenter, and generally this should be the FULL domain name

    3 RCLI no longer exists, it was the former name of the VI 3.5 days. From vSphere, the newly baptized name is vCLI. The vCLI uses the vSphere SDK for Perl which is bindings for Perl vSphere SDK. The vCLI is really just a small set of Perl scripts that emulate the good known esxcfg-* commands found in the classic ESX Service Console, these were mainly created to remotely manage ESXi hosts but can be used to manage/configure ESX. They are nicknamed vCLI scripts or utilities.

    I hope this answers your questions and I really recommend you take a look at the document on how to run this example.

    For more information on vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, take a look at these articles on my blog:

  • I tried sending via a list (contains my own address twice), sending folder is updated, no electronic mail not sent, no error message

    You bird 32.1.0.

    Today I have not received any error message. The folder contained copies of confirmation sent. Nobody has received a copy.
    I created a new list, 2 - time my name - entries sent. No errors. No e-mail message is sent.

    You do not need to use and should not use Bcc: in mail merge. Each message is sent to a single consignee. Because this message is only there is no point or value to hide the recipients. If you use just for:. Your attempt to CSV file sounds is better suited, but it can be very picky about the structure of CSV files, using quotes to include spaces and so on.

    I have no real use for the mail merge myself so can't talk about its usefulness or performance. When I tried even small shipments to some of my own email addresses, it seemed a bit fragile and prone to stop and get stuck, leaving you with no idea claire of which messages were sent, which was to be retried.

  • Why the back button will not give a list of all the places, I was like before? Now I trudged back one page at a time :(

    Since I downloaded Firefox 4, April 30, 2011, the previous button did not list that she used to give when you hovered above him, of all the places that you had been to travel to where you are on this tab. That we gave the opportunity to directly back at the beginning of his cyber-travel on this tab, or choose any other port of call on the way. Now I must return to my starting point, or to an earlier point, laboriously click after another. Hope that enough information for you to give the image.

    The arrow to open the history tab of the previous buttons and following was removed in Firefox 4.

    Use one of the following methods to open the tab history list:

    • Right-click on the back or next button
    • Press and hold the left button of the mouse on the active back or forward button until the list opens

  • You are trying to retrieve a list of either a specific unit for edge

    Morning,

    I m working on a workflow specific and, in the middle of it, I need to get a camera on board POSSIBLE/NSX to do something with it.

    The device will be different every time, so I need some sort of method to acquire it.

    I have already noticed that the plugin POSSIBLE/NSX is not an action, workflow or even a function of the object as a sort of 'Get all the edges' of the thing.

    I went through the API, trying to find a REST call that would accomplish, but I have no luck there either.

    Finally, I tried to use the Server.findAllForType method and found something odd:

    SQLite 'vm' in table / VC:VirtualMachine

    VM = Server.findAllForType ("VC:VirtualMachine")

    "vm" is filled with a list of all virtual machines

    =========================================

    Now, if I do:

    The 'edge' as table value / NSX:Edge

    Edge = Server.findAllForType ("NSX:Edge")

    "edge" is empty

    I found it quite weird since the POSSIBLE/NSX plugin works fine as I m using it with other work flows.

    No idea on how to capture a specific benefit or a list full of them?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Looking at the code of source plugin, NSX, it seems that Server.findAllForType () would work only for type NSX:Connection. Don't know why, maybe plugin author (s) can develop on it and correct me if I'm wrong.

    There is a script NSXEdgeManager class that seems appropriate if you want to retrieve a specific advantage. The script call could be something like

    var edge = NSXEdgeManager.getEdge(connection, edgeid);
    

    where is the connection (of type NSXConnection) object and edgeid is the ID of the edge you want to recover (of type string).

  • Patch ESX 4.1 with vihostupdate.pl failure

    Given that VMWare has decided is no longer supported that the utility was updated with ESXi host, I test the process of with ESX 4.1 update using the vihistupdate.pl and the VSphere CLI command line.

    I find 2 patches for ESXi 4.1 until now and try to update one of them with the command:

    vihostupdate.pl - Server esx2-i b c:\esx\ESXi410-201010001.zip b ESXi410-201010402-BG, ESXi410-201010401-SG

    When I try the installation fails, apparently during the extraction process of the archive in the directory newly created/tmp/updatecache /.

    Cannot download VIB. ('zip:/tmp/updatecache/ESXi410-201010001.zip?embeddedEsx/4.1.0/ESXi-4.1.0-patch01/vmware-esx-tools-light-4.1.0-0.1.320092.i386.vib', ' / var/tmp/cache /-375982546 ',' error extraction /tmp/updatecache/ESXi410-201010001.zip embeddedEsx/4.1.0/ESXi-4.1.0-patch01/vmware-esx-tools-light-4.1.0-0.1.320092.i386.vib: error - 3 during decompression: literal code / invalid length "")

    Any ideas? I can't see anything when you're looking for this error.

    Edit: Transfer the zip file into a directory and using the command of step esxupdate manually produce the same error message. VMWare patch file is no good?

    Make sure that you have one zero partition defined. If you have installed on a USB key, then you must define a. Since the client vSphere Configuration-> software-> settings tab advanced. You can point to a location in the data store.

    Check the available disk space.

    Make a MD5 checksum on the downloaded patch and check it against the value on the VMware Web site.

  • Virtualize vCenter and patching ESX hosts

    I have a host two cluster HA with VSphere Essentials Plus, so no vMotion. (I know... good budget restrictions). It's a whole new infrastructure, so I only have a VM... my vCenter server running on host 1 (config) supported in a small size like mine environment

    I use VUM patch my ESX host that requires that the guests of had no VM and be in maintenance mode.

    The problem: How can I migrate my virtual vCenter server to my other host in order to set the host mode of maintenance and patch 1 (requires a vCenter runs).

    My thought: two guests can see the LUNS for the vCenter server. I think I can go into host 1, power off the virtual machine and then remove from the inventory. Then, I'm going to host 2, browse the store of data LUN and ADD it to its inventory. Is this correct? If so, what file in the data store can I connect to the host (vmx, vmdk, etc.)

    Thank you.

    Yes, it will work, but you will need to attach the base to a host at a time line.  You would add to inventory the .vmx

    Or use the command line

  • How can you patch ESX rollback?

    I guess that the first part of the question is how to apply the patches... Do you use Crossover?  Or else you patch an image and then display a complete picture...?  Or you run remote commands to get/install the patch?  Other ways?

    I'm here to tell you that a boot from san configuration is the only way I know of restoration.  You break the lun and install patches.  If this does not work, restore you the snap.

    You could! (Not severe at all)

    single user boot mode

    tar ball everything except/tmp and / proc

    reboot, run patches.

    exception, boot to single-user

    roll the ball of tar for uninstall.

    You'd probably never do.  (Except when the detected impact 2) :)

    For customers who have this requirement, we never charge patches.  It's always a cool version using a kickstart server.  If something is wrong with the new iso standard.  Go back us to the previous one and rebuild from scratch, back to the previous version.  This go around we this conversation.  Each server is the same ISO on the network.

    This is not enough; However, I thought I would at least give you some (bad) ideas.
