• Did update ESXi 4.1 host via PowerCLI see option3

  Hello

  I have a test environment before going to Production Server two ESXi410 installed (1 ESXi and ESXi-2)

  Option1: ESXi-1, I've got vCenter and Update Manager. According to the documentation, I tried to use update manager add-in for vcenter. That went well to update host ESXi-2 with ESXi410 - 201011001.zip.

  No I haven't been in trouble for the installation of the update on the ESXi-1 which has the Update Manager. As I close the virtual machine and put the ESXi-1 in Maintenance mode.

  Option2: allowing the Support of Local and Remote Tech support (SSH) technology. In this way, I copied the file to update ESXi-1 data source using PuTTY. But esxupdate command does not find the file in the path (/ vmfs/volumes/datastore1/filename.zip). Then I copied to/var/tmp/cache and use the command esxupdate - bundle = filename.zip update. It also worked well.

  But the thing I've read in your documentation to use Install-VMHostPatch did not help me.

  Option 3: of vSphere PowerCLI. > Install-VMHostPatch - VMHost /var/tmp/cache/ESXi410-201011001.zip IP - HostPath-server IP - confirm

  gave me an error 5 No. OSError file or directory.

  Yet once, I tried to change the path to the data store:

  PowerCLI > Install-VMHostPatch - VMHost IP HostPath - /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ESXi410-201011001.zip

  Please find attached the error in the image file.

  I want to use the PowerCLI update of the host and the VM. VMware has no documentation on this.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Install-VMHostPatch will work for you only if you want to update the ESX host, it will not help for virtual machines. It is the snap another powershell called VUM PowerCLI that you can download from here http://vmware.com/go/powercliupdate. If you want to use that snap-in you should have installed VUM server.

  Now on your current number. The answer that Luc wrote should work for you. In this example, there is a step that downloads patch files manually. The reason for this is the small size partitions on ESXi and usually there is no enough space to download large patch in the temporary folder of ESXi.

  In fact, you can benefit from this approach - if all your ESXi boxes are connected to the shared storage, you can download the patches on this storage once and then upgrade one by one.

  Kind regards

• Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
  install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?

  I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.

  I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.

  I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.

  If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.

  I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

• Should I update all the files from the Toshiba site after using the recovery CD

  I just used my recovery CD and update the Windows Update System.

  The question is: should I update all files in the files on this site download section as well?

  Usually after using the Toshiba Recovery CD everything should works and works correctly
  To my knowledge from time to time Toshiba has released new version of some tools or drivers. For example the BT stack will be developed all the time.
  But I think that if you have any problems with your system and peripherals, then you don't need t to update anything.
  Small is my opinion...

  Welcome to the community,

  I'm not aware of a difference of correction/update ESXi on a USB device on a HARD drive. You can eiterh using a CD Update (for example, 1 day) or the vCLI as explained in the http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to

• What should I use for a replacement of WinMail in Windows.

  What should I use for a replacement from WinMail in Windows 7 when requires it a number of sites to meet an address or a link that the site offers an answer or a question.  I have msn, yahoo & gmail but lost WinMail when I've upgraded from Vista to Windows7.
  I lost WinMail thur a mistake some time & it was a nighmare tring to meet links on sites that requires to open a format Outlook, Outlook Express or WinMail.

  I have msn (hotmail), yaho & gmail, but none of them will come when I'm trying to respond to the link sites for a response. If one of those that should be used, how it equal in Windows7?

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

  Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]

  You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Oiseau-tonnerre) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) Set Program Access and defaults of the computer before any function article send to or MailTo will become available.

  You will find support for Win7 e-mail Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads

  Support for Windows Live Mail (which will be able to import your data from Windows Mail Backup), you will find in this public newsgroup:

• I want to reinstall Windows Vista, but have 2 partitions on the hard drive partition which should I use?

  Which partition should I use to re - install Windows Vista? A partition is much smaller then the other.

  Hello

  you don't say how you are trying to reinstall vista

  If you use a microsoft vista dvd you would normally select a CUSTOM installation that gives you the opportunity to see what partitiions are available, what size are they and what is currently installed on them etc.

  It is then to you to delete the existing partition where vista is already installed and reinstall on the same partition or where you want to

  We cannot see how your hard disk is configured

  We can only give you general information on this subject

  read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:

  Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.

  Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.

  etc.

• Difference between ISO ESXi M420 and M630. Is this the same ISO?

  This ISO works for my m630s so?

  Yes, it's the same file. The two show under systems supported and same hash.
