• Update PS6100 SAN and ESX 5.5

  I am currently in planning phase of updating our SAN (PS6100 ver6.0.6) and our environment Vmware (5.0). My plan is to first update the SAN to 7.0.2 then updated Vmware 5.5. But according to the Dell Compatibility Guide SAN 7.0.2 firmware is not compatible with Vmware 5.0.

  Has anyone updated their SAN to this version and are running 5.0 Vmware? Just trying to see if there will be a problem. I plan on spacing and the update for a few weeks.

  Any advice would be appreciated in this matter.

  Thank you

• How to use the Update Manager

  I'm going to update ESXi 5.5 hosts my cluster but I know Update Manager component, so I ask if it is possible to host unique patch so that I can test VM on it and then to extend the update to the other guests.

  Can you offer me to apply all updates or it is usually to give priority to the security updates? I use Vmware image of HP because my hosts are server blades Proliant.

  How can I start? You have to suggest the quick start guide?

  Update Manager downloads the list of patches available from vmware.com. To configure the frequency of the update of the repository, click on House. Click the Update Manager icon. On the Configuration tab, click Patch download calendar.

  To view the scheduled task Patch download, click Homepage > scheduled tasks > VMware vCenter Update Manager Update to download.

  
  Notes:

  • To manually run this task, right-click the task, click run.

  • When you run the task, see task Download Patch definitions in the these last tasks.

  • If the download Patch definitions task fails, make sure that Update Manager can reach vmware.com. For more information

  To set baselines to the ESX host:

  1. Click home > hosts and Clusters.

  2. Highlight the ESX host, you want to update, and then click the Update Manager .

  3. Click on Attach. Select host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click attach.

     Note: to create basic custom lines click home > Update Manager > planning and groups > Create.

  To analyze the ESX host for missing patches on the repository, right-click on the ESX host and click find updates > patches and Extensions > Scan.

  Notes:

  • Scan progress is displayed by The entity of Scan task in the recent tasks.

  • The analysis of the host does not affect running virtual machines.

  • If parsing fails, make sure that the ports between Update Manager and the ESX host is open. For more information, seerequirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

  • When the analysis is complete, you will see the number of missing patches on the ESX host. If some patches are missing, you see Compliant.

  To restore the missing patches to the ESX host:

  1. Turn off all the virtual machines or vMotion them to another ESX host.
  2. Place the ESX host in maintenance mode. Right click on the ESX host, choose to enter the Maintenance Modeand click on Yes.
  3. Right-click on the ESX host and choose clean > host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click Next.
  4. Choose which updates or patches to install, click Next > Next > Finish.

  Notes:

  • Progress of sanitation are illustrated by the task of the principal remedy in the recent tasks.

  • This task could take some time as Update Manager starts to download the patches to the vmware.com website.

  • If the restore fails, ensure that Update Manager, ESX host, and vmware.com ports are open. For more information, see requirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

• The ESX host could restart after complete rehabilitation.

• Please can someone confirm if I can install Update Manager 6 on 5.5 vCenter

  Hello

  An environment in which I need to install the Update Manager, so I think to install Update Manager 6 and I vCenter 5.5.

  So can you please confirm if I can install 6 on 5.5 vCenter Update Manager.

  According to my understanding, it will not happen, but requires the expert advisor.

  Matrices of the interoperability of products VMware shows Update manager 6 is only supported with vCenter 6.

  However, with a workaround you can get it running with vCenter 5.5 but is not recommended.

  Thank you

• To the other server VMware Update Manager

  According to the VI3 hardening guide, it is advisable to have VMware Update Manager (VUM) and vCenter on separate servers.  When I uninstalled my vCenter Server VUM he seems to have left the VUM tables in the vCenter SQL database.  Now when I try to install Crossover on the new server and point the vCenter SQL DB, it states that the DSN points to an existing repository of VirtualCenter and asks me if I want to reset the database and start with a blank configuration.  Since this DB has all my information for vCenter, I'm not sure what to do.  Should I go into the database and manually remove the VUM tables?  Will be the only blank reset tables VUM in the comic book?  Should I create just a separate database for AUVS and a partner on the new VUM Server DSN?

  The last time, I just create new DB on SQL Server. Then configure the DSN point to VUM DB. Proceed with the installation and it works perfectly so far.

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

  KO 2139396

  • Resolved issues. This version of vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b solves the problems that have been documented in the resolved issues section.

• Cannot use upgrade Update Manager to ESX 4.0 Update 1

  We use vCenter 4.0. There are combinations of update4 ESX 3.5 and ESX ESX 4.0 host update1. I intend to upgrade to host ESX 3.5 update 4 ESX 4.0 update1.   I use ESX 4.0 update 1 DVD ISO Picture, when I try to create a baseline for the upgrade of the host, I get the following error.  It is said "impossible to import upgrade, upgrade version is not supported by this version fo Vmware VCenter update manager. I know that I can directly connect to ESX 3.5 and run the esxupdate or boot ESX 4.0 update DVD and perform the upgrade. I wonder why cann't Update Manager? We know the right answer?

  

  Just a guess.

  As you try to download the update of ESX 1, I guess that your vCenter Server is already on the update 1.

  If so you can update manager to update to version 4.0 Update 1 Patch 2.

• DMZ Canals to allow the VM Update Manager 4.0 Update 1 for work FRO ESX 4.0 Hosts?

  Hi all.

  I'm trying to get two ESX 4.0 servers in the DMZ to be allow to get patched by our internal server VMupdate Manager... Having a few problems to work through our firewall and was hoping that someone who post the ports required to make this work? When I scan the host I get this error:

  Host cannot download Vmware Update Manager patch store files. Check your network connectivity and configuration of firewall and esxupdate logs for more details.

  ESX host connects to the Manager to update through port 80. The reverse proxy forwards the request to 9084.

  For host ESX sweeping and sanitation, Update Manager requires that port 80 be open on the ESX host.
