  That is right.  Currently, there is no update for ESXi 4.1.  There is no 'patch Tuesday' for VMware products, and the best is to register on the list of Patch/maintenance alerts , Security Advisory site or check the patch download site .

  Good luck!

• Where to download an update of product for ESXi

  Hello world.

  I recently had the course Vmware Fast Track (ESXi 5.1) and I am a VCP5-VTC certification.

  I got a little confused with the ESXi upgrade continuously, so I would like to read it again.

  I managed to download ESXi 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 and vSphere last trial.

  Am I right to say that vSpere will be 5.5 & retro-compatible with 5.0,5.1?

  I try to find "option groups" so that I can simulate an upgrade, but I find only the install ISO images.

  Or did I miss something, I'm supposed to use installation ISO Images to upgrade?

  See you soon

• Update Server esxi

  Hi all, I'm new to vmware.

  I can see most of my esxi hosts are version 5.5 and few are with version 5.1.

  How update 5.1 to 5.5.

  I need to put in the mode of maintenance, and after that please guide me. If I put in maintenance mode the esxi host is removed from the cluster.

  Screenshots would be appreciated.

  2. I am using HP Proliant Servers. one of my server esxi does not support version 5.5 until I update its firmware. With the help of HP ILO I put firmware update, but I have to put in maintenance mode when I update the firmware on the server

  Hello

  1. download the required ESXi image.

  2. Select the host required in the vCenter > Update Manager

  3. click on view images Admin and click on ESXi

  4 import image ESXi and navigate to the directory where is this image > download

  5. the wizard asks you to provide a database name, to give a base name (for example, host_upgrade)

  6. go back to the view of compliance and enter the host in maintenance mode. If the host is in maintenance mode, no VM must reside on it. The host be removed from the cluster when it is in maintenance mode.

  7. click on join, and then select only this base line created containing 5.5 ESXi ISO

  8. click on Scan, compliance status must come as non-compliant. If she starts as incompatible then restart this ESXi host and perform the analysis again

  9. click on take and give a name to the task and keep the default values and complete the upgrade.

  Two things here:

  You must ensure that your ESXi 5.5 is supported on the hardware. You can use Vmware Hardware Compatibility List to verify that

  VMware.com/go/HCl

  Once the hardware is compatible for ESXi 5.5, then you can proceed to the update above.

  In addition, you must put the host in maintenance during the firmware update mode.

• After Update 2, Esxi 5.0 host cannot see storage

  I have a HP DL380 g-8 server that was running ESXi 5.0. He had 6 virtual machines running on it for 8 months with no problems. Today I applied the update 2 for ESXi 5.0 and it says the update successfully applied. After the reboot, the server could not detect any storage. When connecting with VSphere client it says "the ESXi host has no persistent storage." Virtual machines are listed as "unknown, 1 unknown unknown 2," etc.

  All storage is local. There are four disks are attached to a P420 controller card. When I click on "Storage adapters" in vsphere client, he mentions the card controller as "Patsburg 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller '. I tried a new analysis and it did not work.

  I think here, but I have an out of date firmware. I just found this page HP for the P420 with a VIB released a few weeks ago update:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 18964 & prodSeriesId = 5193414 & swItem = MTX-96dc068234d34bceba2e2e1139 & prodNameId = 5193409 & swEnvOID = 4115 & swLang = 8 & taskId = 135 & mode = 4 & idx = 1

  This link describes how to install the firmware, but this particular ESXi host is far away and I can't seem to him physically. I can connect using SSH. So my question is (having never used SCP or updated firmware on ESXi): is it possible to completely remotely via SSH, and if so, how?

  If there are any other suggestions, I'm open to them. No matter what to get storage online.

  Thank you!

  You should be able to run this command in an SSH session.  As long as SSH is enabled, you should be able to SCP the file above.  WinSCP is a client of SCP Inuit free, for Windows, that should work just fine.

• After the migration of ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 Update 1, ESXi containing the missing data store

  I intend to upgrade to an ESXi 4.1 production host, but I want to run through an upgrade of test on a separate machine. I created this using a virtual machine and the upgrade went well. However, now when I insert my vSphere client, I don't see the data store that contains data to my VM.

  Before migrating to 5, I had 2 drives, a disk of 4 GB for ESXi, and a 40 GB drive for the data of the VM installation. I could see and access times stores via the 4.1 vSphere client, but once the upgrade only the VM data store is available. Is there a reason that this is the case?

  I've updated but has not changed the partitions of data store. I have selected to migrate and keep the VMFS store, which was VMFS-3. I also tried to add the store drive 4 GB with the customer data, but an error message: "the selected disk already has a vmfs data store or the host cannot perform a conversion of partition table.
  Select another disk.

  I found this article on error message: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2000454 , but I never actually removed from the data store. With the help of the 5.0 ESXi update I can see the VMFS store on 4 GB drive, which should have about 3.2 GB of available disk space (the rest being used by the hypervisor).

  Recommended someone else try esxconfig-volume - the list, and then use the output to a mount (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1666168#1666168), but the list command had no output at all.

  I searched through the forums and Google but you saw nothing.

  ESXi 5 has a different architecture, and I think that the problem is the size of the disk (too small) and the partition of scratch required.

  Have a look here:

• Update Server ESXi 4 Update 1 in a HA cluster with Update Manager

  I have currently a node two, HA on VSphere 4 cluster each host running ESXi 4. I want to update ESXi 4 Update 1 by using Update Manager. My question is, I'd do one host at a time to ensure that the guests stay up? The update to ESXi 4 update 1 requires even the hosts restart? I still have an option to update only one host at a time?

  I just want to know if there is a way to update the two nodes in the cluster without interruption of the comments.

  Thank you.

  You can do the remidiation at the level of the cluster by using Update Manager

  in your case, Manager Update wll start theremidation the first host and repeat the failure of the virtual machine on a second host (hope you have activated the DRS for the VMotion). Once the restoration is complete and host will start, it will do VMotion to improved host and continue sanitation on the second host.

  Update Manager also supports remidiating each host in the cluster.

• vSphere Host Update Utility & ESXi 4.0 Upgrade

  I'm trying to upgrade a system ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4.0.  I use the guide at:

  http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/ESXi40_upgrade_without_virtualcenter.php

  When I lauch the vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0, I have a popup that informed me it must download the patches to enable the fix on a functional level.  Problem is the patches are not download or install.  Did someone knows a way I can manually download the patch and install it?  Here is what says the update utility:

  vSphere Host Update Utility to download the patches from the VMware fix repository to enable the functionality of patch.  You still want to connect to the VMware patch repository?

  Yes or no

  For the upgrade process, you need the full ZIP file for ESXi 4.0.

  Patching is the next step, but the fist you need to do the upgrade step.

• Service profile of the CISCO UCS for ESXi

  Do you need multiple boot LUN on the storage array for each host that you want to apply the service profile to? I'm just confused, let's say I have 12 blades that I want to designate as boot SAN for ESXi, y aura-t 12 profiles of separate service for each of them, and will need me 12 different LUNS on our storage? I am new to this and I just want to make it as clean as possible! Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Justin,

  You can have the same LUN ID for multiple service profiles, as well as the same target ID. However, your initiators will be different and you will need to configure the zoning on your switch upstream if you use the end host mode.

  Here is a good guide, review the basics and how to put in place.

• Free license for Esxi 6.0 Cisco custom ISO

  Dear all,

  Is it possible to get the free license for Esxi 6.0 custom cisco ISO? or what can I use standard 6.0 for Cisco 6.0installation custom Esxi Esxi free license key?

  I could find the free license only for Esxi 6.0 standard image customized Cisco.

  Thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  Cisco and other hardware providers offer ESXi images customized to support their equipment. However, the customization is made by adding/replacement drivers and tools. The base is still the same original VMware image. There is no specific license provider.
