• 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.

• Difference of ESXi hosts between analysis of updates and patches of scene

  Hello

  I have two ESXi hosts with round about 700 applicable patches.

  What is the difference between "stage Patches"und"search for updates"?

  Do I need maintenance mode for the scene fixes?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  

  Hello

  Scan for updates will scan the hosts against the basic lines of patch you have attached to them and to report on the status of this host against the base line, so, essentially, Scan for updates will tell you what patches and updates to your departure are absent from the host if the return "non-compliant" or "compliant" if all patches are already installed.  It can also return 'Unknown' or 'Inconsistent' according to the status of the host and other factors.

  Step will basically copy all files to update and patch that must be installed to the willing host for the conversion, which will be more actually to install patches.  Staging of updates to date does not make service, you don't need to put the host in maintenance mode, while the staging, the host must be in service during the reclamation mode.  You can trigger a reorganization without staging, but the benefit of the staging is, first of all, you will reduce the amount of time that your host is out of action because all patches and updates are already in place in anticipation of final approval, which means that the rehabilitation phase is much faster.

  I hope this helps.

• 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

  I want to know when the support and the release of the XP operating system patches is going to end. I was able to find a date for Support extended until 2014, is that correct?

• When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

  I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

  Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

  If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.

  I have lot of new computers with windows 8 is installed. Now I want to uptade all computers, but it will take a lot of bandwidth. Is it possible to download the update manually on the hard disk, and then update all of this storage instead of update all computers individually from the internet

  I settled on the recommended automatic so I was not really expected a nightmare when instead of clicking the close option as usual, I pressed the power option keys which allowed the last version of Windows including the new security patch must be installed updates to Windows. When I tried to power my laptop again once he would only start for a second before turning off suddenly. He did this several times with the switch off the coast so sudden that I first thought it was a question of power, but what repair Windows came, he had a well-posed power my first thought.  The first repair attempt has not fixed the problem then the laptop restart cut again randomly during the boot. After several attempts to turn on, Windows repair came on once again, but in this case after ten minutes of "trying to fix" she came back with the result that it could not. However, I had the opportunity to do a system restore that seems fortunately to have worked. I am however faced with the problem of Windows once more want me to update my system. After what happened before, I'm not want to do. Is there a way around this so that this update and patch will install not or that can be installed without the nightmare of him causing the laptop repeatedly crash after.

  Change the way you receive updates:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

  Understand the Extras in Windows Vista and Windows Update info is at the link above.

   

  Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

  1. a System Restore to before the updates:

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

  If you use Norton, disable it before using the system restore.

  If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

  Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

  System restore steps according to the info above.

  Also:

  2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  See you soon.

• Updates of patches and downloads for windows xp that took place after the release of sp3

  Is there or will there be any type of packs of update that I can incorporate into my windows xp pro sp3 install cd using nlite [or not] would make it easier to keep my system up to date when I Custom installed my system?

  I know that there is a very explicit "' response to sp4. I'm looking for the next great thing.

  It's one pain in the end have to install windows, then all the .net stuff, light silver, patches and other from windows update, and slipstream, and then in an installation using nlite, so I can have it later when I re-install the operating system.

  I think microsofts plan works however. I think to upgrade my xp system to vista sp2.

  Thanks to a witness of anomaly.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no Pack update that you can install to keep your computer up to date. The only option is to download and install up-to-date or patches updates manually
  After Service pack 3 because there will be no more service pack for XP.

• As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 patches

  As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 for Windows XP patches?

  As of Windows XP support ends in 2014, will I still be able to get anti virus updates and all the months of security beyond 2014 for Windows XP patches?

  From April 2014, no security/more operating system patches released at Microsoft (for the most part) for Windows XP.  It's a BONE death in the eyes of its creator.
   
  Your anti-virus software may or may not be supported - which depends on its own end of life such as decided by its supplier, and even if it is a Microsoft product, is not directly related to the lifecycle of Windows XP (you can say that as Windows XP came with no native antivirus/antimalware features.)

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• Update the host ESX 3.5 and 2.5 to Vcenter

  Hello

  I'm new to editing an entire ESX infrastructure and would like to know the correct way to update all client Vcenter and Vi ESX hosts.

  If I missed any foregoing update please let me know.

  What I've done so far is to update all ESX hosts, with the help of VMware Update Manager, they are all being updated now, so, where can I go next, Vcenter, then Vi customers, etc.

  Thank you

  Mike

  The upgrade should go as follows:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX host

  3 VMware Guest Tools.
