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.

  • 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.

    Best regards.

    Hello

    When you say, 151 GB of available disk space, disk space for VMFS I think, not for VMware. Right?

    Check the available disk space on your partition /, / boot, / tmp, / home/var.

    You update the server from an older version of ESX, like 3.5?

    VMware - v will still show the same result even after installing the ESX400 - 200907001.zip. To find the version of update server, connect to the server using VI client/VC, which will give the updated version.

    You can try to disable the Sophos websheild and ClamXav if she has one. Even better would be to uninstall both and test.

    FWIW, it is never a good idea to have 2 av programs installed.

  • Download latest towers "connecting to the update server", will not download

    I tried to download the latest version of Firefox for the last 5 days on different internet connections. He turns and hangs on "connecting to the update server". The download will not be completed. Can you please help? Thank you.

    To install Firefox on a Mac, follow these steps:

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    If the download is interrupted, check the reasons for it: if it's a low slow connection, it would be wise to seek a faster point to connect.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Software update gets stuck to connect to the update server

    For a very long time (since Firefox 4 or more), I'm notified of updates, but when I say update I just get a window that says it has download firefox and it connects to the update server and it stays there forever. I left open for days and it never goes away. I've always had to go download a new copy of updated, but I really like to get the auto update work.

    I tried to delete history/cache/etc for ever. I deleted everything related to Mozilla AppData, I lose everything, but always the software update gets stuck. Of course, he's stuck something other than trying to connect to the update server. Any ideas?
