Upgrade with custom image

Hello

I am currently in the process of transition to ESXi 5.1 to 6.0 ESXi.

Normally, I would do a fresh install, however this time I opted to select the upgrade option.

Do the upgrade, I use a custom ESXi HP Image because this will contain all the latest drivers for the physical host. 

I guess that all the latest drivers will install even though I chose the upgrade as opposed to a new installation?

Thanks in advance

Gooose

Yes, the drivers included in ISO custom HP will install automatically during an upgrade everything as during a new installation.

  • Patching ESXi 4.1 installed with custom image

    Hello

    Our company has several ESXi 4.x - hosts installed with HP or DELL-customized images.

    If I install the patches with VUM without doing something more, simply by using the patches automatically downloaded VMware, they then somehow will overwrite the DELL/HP-installation custom ESXi? (Leaving me with a fully functioning but the host not custom).

    Or are the standard VMware patches without affecting the part 'tailor-made' installation?

    Concerning

    Matthias

    The patches that you apply do not overwrite OEM customizations.

    http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/ESXi_management.pdf :

    The basic hypervisor code can also contain custom code provided by suppliers of servers (OEM) that provides additional features, such as monitoring and hardware support information. These customizations would be present, for example, if had ESXi embedded format of the manufacturer of the server or a customized version of ESXi has been installed on

    the hard drive. Any update to an existing installation of ESXi integrates automatically the correct update of this custom code.

  • No image with customized image of Windows 10 Acer Iconia W510

    I'm trying machines Acer Iconia W510 image with an image of Windows 10 we did. We have already photographed a few tens of individuals. A dozen, however, refuse to take the picture. They are currently on Windows 8. The image on an external hard drive that plug us into the USB port.

    The steps I take to the imaging process are as follows: "Change PC settings"->"update and recovery"-> "recovery"->"Advanced startup" and I click on the button 'Restart now', who sends me to a screen with three options, continue to windows 8.1, troubleshooting, and turn off your PC.

    I select 'Troubleshoot '->' Advanced'-> "Image system recovery"

    The Acer screen appears with "Preparation of the system image recovery" at the bottom. I sign in the administrator account when prompted to choose an account.

    A window appears and scans for images. I selected the "Select a system image" option and then select the correct image of Windows 10.

    Then, I select the only available option for "select the date and time of the system image to restore.

    After that, there is a message that says "for the restoration of this computer, needs of Windows to format the drive that the Windows recovery environment is running on." To continue with the restore, shut down this computer and it boot from a Windows installation disc or a disc repair system, then try the restore again. "At this point, I have no way to continue.

    Even if I plug the USB recovery drive we used, I get the same message. I don't know what the problem is or how to get past. Any help is appreciated!

    I suggest you to check if you are able to access Windows Update services and also make sure that the following services are started. If it is not started, follow the listed below as follows:

    a. press the Windows key + R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) in the Run dialog box to start, and press enter.

    b. Locate the Windows Update service.

    c. right-click on the Windows Update service and select Properties.

  • Will not pump light customer image D90D7 using WDM 5.0

    I'm trying to shoot a picture of one of my thin clients in D90D7 that I updated the image of the most recent (Windows Embedded standard 7), the most recent version of HAgent (6.3.2.54) and installed a few applications that will use all users.  I'm in WDM 5.0, do a right click on the device in Device Manager, select Get Image device, give a name to the image, check the box under Image Merlin Options to shoot and the option button not PXE under Option imagery (neither that neither PXE worked, I tried both), click Next, then finish.  I can see the demand package in the Update Manager, and he left time 'Now' to 'Boot' after a reboot of the machine.  It then starts in the image upload screen Pre-os as it should.  Problem is the download of the OS (which begins by) not going nowhere.  The status bar is located at 0% until the end of a few minutes, I get the following message:

    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

    / bin/sh: can't access TTY; disabled job control

    Does that mean something to someone?  I tried this 3 times and never further...

    Batman - I've seen this behavior intermittently on the old bootagent factory and upgrading to the latest 3.1.9 bootagent resolves the behavior.  I posted in your other thread associated with this deployment.  You use the last picture - but they release pictures of the manufacturing base in the same cycle of release management tools.  As for your security updates noted - there are updates to management for WDM Mgmt., non - pxe Imaging agents and the Agent of WCM.

    Apply the WDM 3 patches out for 5 WCM (MR1, MR2, and MR1.1).  This will upgrade the HAgent and included BootAgent packages that you need to deploy.  Once the BA is reclassified to 3.1.9 you should be able to do the test by pulling and pushing your custom images.

  • R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

    That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

    www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    www.Dell.com/.../manuals

    indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

    I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

    ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
    Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

    megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

    Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

    This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

  • Cisco UCS 260 M 2 5.5 U3 - custom image and compatibility

    TAC has a customer turned and pointed toward a compatibility table for an installed UCS - C 260M 2, stating that the firmware of the UCS and the latest version of Vmware is not supported.

    They are suggesting that the client moves to fimware 1.5 (9) and they use a customized image of Cisco for Vmware.

    This facility is for UC/EAC, so I have to make sure that the versions supported in the docwiki for these products as well is the Vmware version.

    http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

    The drop down menu shows Vmware 5.5 U3 is a supported version and I find that 5.5 is supported in the dockwiki. So far so good.

    However, when I try to find a custom image for 5.5 U3 image only I find it:

    https://my.VMware.com/Web/VMware/details?ProductID=353&downloadGroup=OEM...

    VMware 5.5 U3a. The version of the driver specified on this page do not match driver versions indicating the interoperability matrix must be used.

    First, is there a customized image of Cisco for 5.5 U3, could someone point me to this image so that these versions of the drivers are the same?

    Secondly, can I use ISO customized Cisco to upgrade a vanilla install Vmware 5.1 U3?

    -GDR

    Greetings.

    The Cisco Custom images are just a collection of pilots who were up-to-date at the time wherever it has been presented to VMware.  It is expected that iso custom will exactly match the interoperability matrix (it could have at the time, it was created), but at least provide newer drivers than what is usually installed in the general VMware releases.

    The interoperability matrix will list the specific driver, i.e. igb driver intel 1 GB network interface.  Download you the version of the driver for VMware site and install adapt you to the requirements notified by the interoperability matrix.

    You should be able to use a custom Cisco ISO to upgrade.  When your custom installation ISO analyzes your existing system, it will see a higher version of the drivers/VIBs and update those.  The Cisco with custom isos are simply the original VMware updated versions the drivers injected into them.

    Thank you

  • Update 5.5.0 Update 3 when using custom Image

    Hello

    I'm not very familiar with VMware, so sorry if I'm missing some basic knowledge.

    I had a 5.5-2 node cluster using Dell hardware that I build using VMware ISO, I wanted to update the HP DL 360 Gen9 material. I started my last version 5.5.0 U3 with the update. I have updated all server components and then imported the 5.5.0U3a image in the Update Manager and rememdiated both nodes without any problem. Then, I removed a node and built the new DL360. I found there is a Custom Image HP, so used Intelligent Provisioning with the Custom Image, added this host and then did a scan for updates.

    He said the U3 image had to be installed, but it crashed the server KS.cfg error: file not found boot partition.

    I tried to build the server with HP Custom U2 image and then update with the generic image of U3, and it also crashes with the same error.

    So, I made a mistake trying to update a customized HP with standard virtual machine image image? If you start with a custom image, you can only apply updates to the custom image?

    Thanks, and sorry if this is a fundamental issue.

    Mick

    It is correct. If you are an ISO provided supplier (HP, Dell, etc.), these ISO will contain drivers updated with software for some of the specific software/hardware of the seller. I remember seeing a KB about don't not to upgrade ISO with ISO vmware supplier (due to driver is downgraded)

  • Help with custom radio buttons.

    Before you go all Rube Goldburg thought that I post for a quick reality check.

    Basically, I have a test with several different configurations of coupon and I try to give users an advanced interface to select one they use. Using radio buttons seems the way to go and I inserted my custom images but I have only be able to select by clicking on the buttons. I want the user to be able to click on the image. Unless I'm missing something, I have this feeling that I have to create the four complete custom Boolean buttons with States of 4-6 and then write the code to do that alone is never on at the same time?

    You can change the appearance and the size of the used option button and overlay them on your chart, and then set the transparent parameter. So it looks like they're clicking on custom image but they are clicking on the invisible button on the top of the image.

    But it might be easier to use a ring of photo,

  • Reference Dell Custom Image for Vmware ESXi 5.1

    Hello

    where can I find the custom image Dell for ESXi 5.1.

    I can only find the ISO Images for 5.0 (4.1). But none for 5.1. Unfortunately the original ISO Vmware image will not work because it does not find a NETWORK card in my Dell R420. Which seems to occur as long as the original image from Vmware does not include the card driver NETWORK Dell to the R420.

    I saw that today there is a download section at support.Dell.com for ESXi 5.1 with about 36 files to download. But no ISO Image for ESXi 5.1 as it is 5.0 and before.

    Hope someone can help or knows how Dell will bring the custom image.

    Thank you!

  • Need help with Custom Field Layout - getting wirer height value

    In the BB Simulator, I get a strange value placed in in my field layout() method custom. The width is 320, which is correct, but the height is 1073741823 and it takes 240 or less. In this test, my custom field is the only field in the Manager, so I expect to 240.

    I tried two different simulators - BB curve and the 8800. I use JDE 4.5.0 in Eclipse 3.4.1. This is the code for my method of layout:

    Protected Sub layout (int width, int height) {}
    s long = getStyle().
    If ((s & USE_ALL_WIDTH)! = USE_ALL_WIDTH) {}
    width = Math.min (width, getPreferredWidth());
    }
    If ((s & USE_ALL_HEIGHT)! = USE_ALL_HEIGHT) {}
    height = Math.min (height, getPreferredHeight());
    }
    setExtent (width, height);
    model.setExtent (width, height);
    Model.Scroll (0, 0);
    }

    I expect the value of the screen height, or less, if the domain is configured correctly.

    I'm upgrading my custom field in a VerticalField Manager with the following attributes:

    Super (VerticalFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH
    | VerticalFieldManager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT
    | VerticalFieldManager.FIELD_HCENTER | VerticalFieldManager.FIELD_VCENTER);

    Is this a bug in the Simulator, or I understand the API correctly? Is there a way to 'reset' the Simulator - I tried to get out of Eclipse and restart Windows, but I always get the same value.

    Thank you!

    Mark

    A VerticalFieldManager comes, I think, with default VERTICAL_SCROLL.  If you do not want to scroll through this particular Manager, add VerticalFieldManager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL to your forests of style and it will be laid out with only the height and the actual width.

    Also, since you setExtent() by yourself, USE_ALL_HEIGHT and USE_ALL_WIDTH are redundant, I think.

    Hope that helps,

    Arkady.
