• After upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi will not come online

  After that I did an upgrade via line-update in the CLI, everything went well. No errors were displayed and they advised me to restart the system. I reboot the system, but the server does not come online again. What is the best practice to deal with a problem like this. Manual inspection, repair to 5.1?

  When you say its just not online? you are referring to his starting not not or its doesn't connect to the network. ?

• Can upgrade you 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using the zip file?

  I read the KB articles which seem to indicate that, to upgrade an ESXi host, you must use a vSphere Manager or an ISO on CD or USB.   But I saw someone go from 5.1 to 5.5 by downloading a zip file and running the commands, as indicated in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2008939.

  When you connect through the vSphere client, it seems to indicate that it has updated to 5.5, but I fear that this may not be an upgrade path has officially supported or may be missing something.

  Anyone here can comment if you can upgrade between the press point with a zip and and the upgrade of the above method fix?

  Thank you

  Yes, it is a supported upgrade path, take a look here: VMware KB: methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5

• Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.0 with host Installation on USB Flash drive

  Hello, I have a question regarding the upgrade from 4.1 to 5.0. that a host is currently boot from USB. We hope to be able to update through the Update Manager, and I wanted to see if there were problems in the upgrade in this way. More precisely, if there will be problems because the facility is currently on a USB drive compared to a normal hard disk. Also, the config scratch is currently located on a SAN drive connected to the host. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  Hi Sir,

  Yes, according to my understanding of the ESXi see only irrelevant training VMFS filesystem, it is installed on.  So, the Update Manager should work well for us.

  Thank you

• Upgrade from ESX3.5 to vSphere 5.0

  Hi all

  I have a project to upgrade on update my old host ESX 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5 to the most recent and vSphere vCenter Server 5.0 and 5.0.

  After having read in the doc upgrade and because of the environment is small, I decided to build a new vCenter Server from scratch rather than go through the upgrade process (mainly due to wanting to put vCenter on a virtual computer, upgrade the operating system to 64-bit, separate the VCDB on an external SQL Server etc.).

  I'm hoping to do an orderly migration where I vMotion VMs off-a former host, upgrade to vSphere 5, and vMotion the VMs, then turn it back on for her.

  My question is quite simple (I hope):

  Can I add vSphere 5.0 ESXi hosts and ESX 3.5 hosts in the same Cluster HA (assuming they are configured the same way in regards to the vSwitch and vMotion) after I added all hosts in vCenter 5?

  This is so that I can vMotion VMs ESX 3.5 hosts former on the new 5.0 vSphere hosts after an upgrade of the host.

  Virtual machines are all alive and I can't afford to have downtime...

  Thanks for your time...

  Hi Anthony,.

  -There is no direct upgrade from ESX / I have 3.5 to 5.0

  -See link that has the checklist of HA and on ESX 35 x patch requirement inorder to add to 5.0 HA cluster

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.vSphere.avail.doc_50/GUID-BA85FEC4-A37C-45BA-938D-37B309010D93.html

  -If you upgrade VC25Ux, make sure that host certificates enabled, other wise HA configuration breaks down, link above has this info also

  -Yes, VMotion works between 5.0 ESX hosts and ESX35x whether network, CPU compatibility are according to the needs.

• Upgrading to ESX 3.5 host to ESXi 4.1 where the VCenter is installed on the guest system

  Hello

  Should I move the virtual machines from the first RAID at one of the others? Whipe then come out the scores and perform ESXi 4.1 installation?

  Yes, it's a way to do this.

  Unfortunately, the ESXi 4.1 installation wipe the disk to complete installation (or logical volume) as you have experienced. Assuming that "logical partitions VMFS" you mentioned are logical volumes actually created in the RAID configuration (presented as individual of the operating system disks), you can migrate the virtual machine that is currently stored on data store of the installation disk to a data store on one of the other logical disks and then install ESXi.

• Direct upgrade from esx 3.5 to esx 4.1

  Hello

  I've already upgraded to vCenter 2.5 to 4.1, now I'm upgraded by train from esx 3.5 to esx 4.1 and all of the articles and videos that I have read say that I need to download the upgrade zip file and do the upgrade through VMware host update utility (as I am only upgrade 2 hosts).

  However, when I try to download the zip file, the only option I get is

  ESX 4.1 Update 1 (updated the ZIP of ESX 4.0)
  Use this package with vCenter Update Manager 4.1 U1 or vihostupdate vCLI or esxupdate command line to upgrade ESX ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.1 update 1.

  Which allows an upgrade to version 4.0 (or if she says).  Can I use this zip file?

  I even went back through all the versions 4.0, and there is no upgrade for 3.5 anywhere zip file?

  How can I make this update of the utility of the upgrade using the host?

  Concerning

  Steven

  In my view, an error in the above steps.

  Are you using ESX and ESXi, you will need to download ESX 4.1 install ISO for upgrade from ESX3.5 to ESX4.1 driver

  You must use vCenter Update manage or esxupgrade.sh for upgrade. No other tool as vihostupdate, host update utility etc. are not supported.

  For more details from vCenter update manager, refer to the admin guide and for esxupgrade.sh, see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1009440&sliceId=2&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=170100028&stateId=1%200%20170096294

• VPN access no longer works after upgrade from 10 IOS!  Any input to fix?

  VPN access no longer works after update IOS 10!  With the help of an iPhone 5 or 6, our employees use their hotspot phone to connect to our VPN.  Suddenly, he broke Monday after the upgrade to IOS 10.  We have experienced many versions of IOS, and it has always worked.  Any patch available?

  Hello howlindaug,
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that your employees will no longer be able to connect to your virtual private network with their iPhone 5 or 6 after the upgrade to iOS 10. Sierra Mac OS and iOS 10 delete a VPN profile PPTP connections when a user upgrades from their device. If your VPN is a PPTP connection, you'll want to use one of the options listed in the section below:

  Prepare for removal of PPTP VPN before upgrade you to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra
  

  Alternatives for PPTP VPN connections

  Try one of these other VPN protocols for authentication by user that are safer:

  • L2TP/IPSec
  • IKEv2/IPSec
  • Cisco IPSec
  • VPN SSL clients on the App Store, such as those of AirWatch, Aruba, Check Point, Cisco, F5 Networks, MobileIron, NetMotion, Open VPN, Palo Alto Networks, Pulse Secure and SonicWall

  Best regards.

• Upgrade from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr, now all downloads are not visible at all anywhere

  I just upgraded from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr. At first I noticed that download statusbar has not shown all downloads when they have been downloaded, so I decided to remove it. That has not changed anything because I do not see in tools-> Downloads tab. I tried to play with the browser.download.useJSTransfer and the browser.download.useToolkitUI, I've seen in my search, but they do not help. I also tried to change the options of the private browsing mode, and although I can see that downloads fail, I don't see when they download. I don't know what is happening.

  I have reset the settings of firefox and it seems to be fixed. I could not identify any option that could have been the cause. He could download status bar. I no longer need because new download managers to work pretty well.

• Why the scroll bar arrows disappeared from Firefox when I upgraded from Fedora 17 to 18 years?

  Recently, I upgraded from Fedora 17 to 18 of Fedora. Before the update, Firefox worked perfectly. Now, the arrows have disappeared of the scrollbar on the right. How can I get back them?

  This problem is not moved in other applications - in Firefox.

  Alternatively, you can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.RDF

  Do you have a scroll bar (that is, only the buttons have disappeared)?

  You use the default theme of Firefox (Tools > Modules > appearance)?

  You can attach a screenshot?

• Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

  I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

  This also makes very slow computer.

  You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

  Sorry! :(
