  Updated the file MEM for the San Equalogics to 1.2.x

  The be2iscsi driver update.

  Always take 45 min. to start, once started, everything seems fine?

  Do not have the attached RAM-disks, or use MS clustering.

  Thank you, tandrist

  Fixed, there are remains of a previous SAN.  Funny things, it's this high problem never his head until the upgrade to 5.5u1. ISCSI discovery must be different from 5.1 to 5.5?

• Upgrading ESX 3.5U1 to 3.5U3 by using Update Manager

  I'm almost finished upgrading all our servers ESX 3.02 to 3.5 update 1 more a few patches.

  This was done by booting from the CD to update 1 3.5 to perform the upgrade.

  I had a basleine created in the update manager that includes all fixes releaed in June 2008 or earlier. This base was also used on all of our ESX servers.

  I now want to use the Update Manager to upgrade all servers to 3.5.0 update 3 and the latest patches.

  If I have a base line that includes all the updates that are never out, can I just clean up the hosts on this base? The upgrade process will be "smart" enough to just install update 3 and latest patches or will be installed all the patches in sequence include the update 2 which I suppose is not necessary if the update 3 is also being installed?

  Should I create a baseline containing the 3 updated and any update since then. Update 3 includes other updates also published November 6?

  Note that I'm under 104215 virtual Center version but will be upgrading to update 3 before upgrading the hosts.

  Our Update Manager database was created when the Update Manager is out and includes all updates, including ESX Server 3.5.0 Update 2 updated with the question of the "ticking time bomb".

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm never live from 3.0.1 to U1 and U3. Always fresh, I installed 3.5 and then improved from there. However your approach should work perfectly as well. I wouldn't get to frustrated with VUM as him starts and stops and the issue of sanitation occur due to the circles of interesting dependence and bugs squarely in the process of upgrading some of the improvements. I often force ESX in Maintenance mode to install the updates. It depends usually if VMware HA is enabled, or VMS must be evacuated. I tend to evacuate all virtual machines running by hand, then perform upgrades.

• Error after upgrade to ESXi 5 Update 1 on free version

  At all a ghettoVCBg2 got another run properly after the upgrade to ESXi 5u1 via vMA 5 when it's the free version?

  I have a couple of free machine and they are the only ones having problems. My verson licensed production work very well.

  The error I get on free machines is as follows:

  Failed to get vim_service - the session object is not initialized or not connected to the line /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/VMware/VICommon.pm 1654
  Perl came out with active threads:
  1 running and spare
  0 finished and spare
  0 running and detached

  I find autour and trying different solutions to simular errors (for example, by adding the debugging of CARP), but nothing works.

  None of the 1 post update fixes fixed either.

  ghettoVCB works very well on the free servers however.

  So, I'm curious if anyone has seen this problem?

  I guess that the reason is that ghettoVCB2 was built for the paid editions that allow write API access.

  There was some editions which do not restrict this access, as you can see in "Support of ESX/ESXi Version table" at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9843. The initial version of ESXi 5.0 is / was one of them, considering that the update 1 is even more restrictive.

• Updated VC 2.5u1 to 2.5u2

  Can someone explain the process to upgrade from 2.5u1 to 2.5u2? I downloaded the new "VMware-VIMSetup - 2.5.0 - 104263.zip" and I am confused with what why it needs to update my database? I thought the database would have just changed from 2.0 to 2.5... ect. I read all the documents on the upgrade, but am still confused on how to do it properly.

  Thank you!

  Patrick

  Hi, I don't know what changes to database are... but they need.

  He had a number of bugs etc in VC 2.5 U2, s, my advice would be to upgrade to VC 2.5 update 3.

  Just to back up the VC database, start the installation and follow the wizards.

• CAN I VMotion between ESX server with they are in different version?

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade my 2.5u1 to 2.5u3 vCenter, then upgrade my all the ESX Servers 3.5u1 to 3.5u3. VMFS on storage shared SAN and VMotion already activated. My question is if I upgrade the first server ESX 3.5u1 to 3.5u3, can I use VMotion to migrade the 3.5u1 virtual machine remains in the new 3.5u3 updated? Thank you!

  -david

  PS. I had been looking, but too many results or not exactly my scenario. So hard to find one suitable.

  Yes and you can even go to 3.0.2 3.5.3 without a problem. Usually, it is the target CPU model that causes pain when he is not the same.

• We intend to upgrade little welcome vpshere 5.5, I have question about the license

  Dear team,

  I just want to understand, we have 10 esxi host runing esxi4.1 now we are palnning to upgrade the two esxi host at 5.5U1 or U2.

  4.1 license will be apply to 5.x host?

  can we share license 4.1 with 5.x host?

  do we need to buy a different license for host 5.x?

  need your urgent help

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  This 4.x licenses can be applied to a version of the host 5.x, in this way, you have two options:

  1 move licenses 4.x to version 5.x on MyVMware agreeing with the link I provided in the previous post, the host upgrade to version 5.x and apply this license upgrade;

  2. upgrade the host to the 5.x version and this host in 60 days and before the 60 days trial mode expires, apply licenses for version 5.x.

• Upgrading VC database means?

  Dear team,

  I m upgrading of my VC, while the upgrade, I had under screen. What that means is he going through my SQL2k8 sql2012?

  

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Let me share my perspective on it:

  1. If you choose the first option: it will modernize DB schema that will be compatible with the new vCenter you migrate to. It's not 2008 r2 for 2012. Version of the database server remains the same. Just schema will not change.

  What is DB schema: a database schema is a way to group logically objects such as tables, views, stored procedures, etc..

  E.g. say you're on vCenter 5.1, now DB schema will be a logical group of objects such as tables, views etc. Later, when the new version of vCenter rises (i.e. 5.5), due to the addition of functionality to vCenter, existing DB schema (ie. the tables, views) should be changed. In this case, you must upgrade the schema of the DB. This happens especially when you go to the major update, IE. 5.1 to 5.5. Generally, for minor versions schema will be same (there may be exceptions), so for versions minor i.e. 5.5 BC to 5.5U1, very probably DB schema would be same, in this case, you can choose the second option.

  2. If you choose the first option and if the upgrade fails, & if there is no backup, how get you back. That is why DB backup must take.

  3. If we choose the 2nd option, and the new vCenter DB schema is not compatible with the existing DB schema, you may encounter problems.

  Choose wisely.

• Error upgrading to 5.5U2

  Try to upgrade to 5.5U2 train 5.5U1 and have several questions.

  First of all, when I click on the web client install button I get "file not found...". E:\\vSphere-WebClient\Vmware-WebClient.exe ".

  Second, when I manually navigate to this path and try to run the exe I get the error "this application cannot be run on your PC.

  Host operating system is Win2k12 R2 Datacenter. Has anyone else seen similar problems or had success update the WebClient service?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Since the two error messages that seems like corrupted install source / iso try to redownload vCenter 5.5 U2 iso image and run the Setup program again.

  In addition, it is better if you disable UAC on the server before installing just to be safe check if all the AppLocker rules are not applied:

  Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2: AppLocker - ask Performance - Site home - TechNet Articles team

  For all the current problems, see the "Known issues" section in the Release Notes:

  vCenter Server 5.5 Update 2 Release Notes

  Also check the media installation with MD5 integrity:

• 5.5U1 to 5.5U2 vCenter update

  Does anyone know the steps of updating 5.5U1 to 5.5U2 in a simple no install environment (WebClient, 1XSSO, 1xVC of separate servers & INV, 1XSQL)?

  What is as drastic as a version upgrade?

  KB below would help to start your upgrade

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2053130

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2053132

  5.5U1 to 5.5U2 update is a minor update that does not include the many steps as the major update. Your environment is distributed, we must run the individual Installer and update in order as - IS, VC, WebClient and SSO

• No service after upgrade the server to 5.2 on El Capitan

  I have a web server that was doing very well until I left the 5.2 update suggested to install OS X Server. I can't get to broadcast web pages. Screen sharing works always and nothing has changed on the routers, etc.

  I restarted the server after the update and restarted the server itself several times but keep getting connection via a browser failures.

  I did the upgrade even on other servers as well as the upgrade of Sierra. This server is running El Capitan, and is the only one that gave me problems. 5.2 server is not compatible with El Capitan?

  Some additional info:

  I can connect to the server through ftp and other services; just no web service.

  Port tests show that port 80 is not blocked

  Using the IP address I can get to the window of the home server.

  Accessibility means no services available

  Websites is on and I can't find anything that is not defined in law or is different than before the update.

• I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

  I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

  If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.

• is more able to stream video from some sites after the upgrade to Safari 10

  

  After the upgrade to 10 Safari, I can no longer stream from a certain website. Instead of playing the video stream, I'm prompted to save "player.swf" as shown above.  This problem occurs on el Capitan, and it happens on the Sierra, and it all started when I updated Safari 9.x to 10.0

  Open Safari preferences / Security tab and check the box allow Plug-ins.

  Very soon of Flash player and the plugin will be obsolete and this web page needs to change its code to HTML5.
