• upgrading ESX 4.0.0 build 261974

  Guy

  I have been informed that ESX 4.1 is available and we are counting on the upgrade.

  I'm not strong on Linux commans if someone could point me in the direction of a step by step on how to do?

  also we made changes to our service console, so I would do it in a way not to undo these changes.

  Thank you

  OK, so take a look at this guide to upgrade:

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.PDF

  Page 66 describes the process of upgrading to an ESX host, using the command line option 'vihostupdate '.

  You can also use the command "esxupdate" described on page 67 + 68.

  Moved to the Virtual Machine and comments to the BONE.

  Power off the virtual machine first. Make the change, then turn on. You should may also unsubscribe and reregister.

• Upgrading ESX when you are connected to the SAN

  Hello. At the time, it was considered preferable to unplug the host SAN during installation or upgrading ESX fram. Is this still the case with ESXi 5.5?

  Hello

  In fact, it is always best practice to disconnect from the SAN, but you could do it on the fly as well using the Manager to update if your upgrade to ESXi ESXI 5.1 to 5.5. I have seen many do

  without any problem. Just make sure that the hardware is compatible in HCL.

• Upgrade ESX 4-5 ESX (without losing the existing local VMs)

  Hello team

  I have a host ESX 4 that I want to improve and I have 7 virtual machines running on this server locally. is there any posibility I can improve ESX 4 to 5 without of lossing VM?

  or should I go? I will go to our storage if there is no option.

  Kind regards

  There will be no impact on the VMFS data store where you saved your VM in the local hard disk. you will be 3 option when you try to upgrade the server ESX to ESXI 5.0, they are

  1 migrate ESX, preserve VMFS

  2. install ESXi, preserver VMFS

  3. install ESXI, crush VMFS

  refer to the screenshot below.

  

  But personally recommend you to migrate the virtual computer out of other data store it helps us in 2 ways.

  1. safety do not take the slightest risk snack Server crahes

  2 allow to use the feature of VMFS 5.0 by updating the VMFS data to new version VMFS5 store

• VMware Tools status shows OK after upgrade ESX

  I installed my ESX 3.5 U3 (build 123630) server to build 130756.

  All virtual machines watch tool OK status, even if they are to 123630. If I connect in a virtual machine and open VMTools plateau, the upgrade button is grayed out.

  If I manually start an upgrade VMTools, it upgrades 130756 tools.

  How to change the current version of the tools in Virtual Center?

  Some of these improvements have no change with VMware Tools. However, when you do a manual installation, they will show the new build number.

  He is allowed to stay with the version of the tools that you have at the moment. Unless VC deferred that tools are outdated.

  Hope that answers your question.

• What is ESX 3.0.3 (Build version 184235)?

  I was invited by a customer to move several ESX 3.0.3 hosts in their current virtualcenter Server vCenter 4.1 box.

  I checked the compatibility matrix and have found that vCenter 4.1 is compatible with ESX 3.0.3 Update 1, which corresponds to the version version 231127.

  Unfortunately, most of the guests are ESX 3.0.3 Build version 184235, which I think would not update 1.  I have searched on google but can't find any reference to build 184235.

  Any ideas?

  probably the best way to identify a build is by issuing two commands of the service console

  vmware -v
  

  and

  esxupdate -l query

• vCenter is virtual server - how to upgrade ESX host?

  Our vCenter server is a virtual server.  I've been thinking how to run update manager on the host ESX, vCenter is sitting on.   The only thing I can think of is to use the VMware Converter stand alone app and move the vCenter server to another ESX host and then start vCenter / Manager Update on the new ESX host to update the original ESX host.

  Is there an easier way?

  you have a shared storage?  If so, go to the host computer running the vCenter VM on, turned off, make a note of the data store that it is, remove the inventory, go to another host, browse the data store, find the vmx file, right-click "add to the inventory.

  .. .or you can use VMware Converter to move the VM vCenter.  Another way would be to turn off the VM vCenter and do the upgrade using the CLI interface.

• I just upgraded to FF 3 FF9 and in the process lost my 'New tab' button, and there isn't one in the view > customization window. So, how manually open a new tab in FF9?

  Question
  I just upgraded to FF 3 FF9 and in the process lost my 'New tab' button, and there isn't one in the view > customization window. So, how manually open a new tab in FF9?

  To open the window to customize the toolbar, do one of the following:

  • Firefox button > Options > toolbars
  • Press ALT or F10 to temporarily show the Menu bar and choose from there (view > toolbars > customize)
  • Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing the VTC keyboard letters

  See-> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36

  Regarding the new button tab, you see the end a '+' after the last tab or the right of the tab bar? This is the icon of the new tab.

  • CTRL + T will open a new tab

• I installed the full version LavVIEW 8.6. I tried to upgrade to the professional version 8.6 by simply installing the new discs, and it has not upgraded. What do I need to uninstall, or is there a trick?

  I installed the full version LavVIEW 8.6.  I tried to upgrade to the professional version 8.6 by simply installing the new disks, and it didn't perform the upgrade.  First, I have to uninstall and reinstall, or is there a trick?

  Look in the License Manager in the National Instruments of your Start menu folder.  This is probably just a matter of activating LabVIEW 8.6 and maybe some other features with your new code license rather than your previous full version license code.

• I updated Adobe Photoshop elements 11 to Camera Raw Plug in version 7.4, which still isn't a version more enough to accept the raw images for editing of my Sony alfa 7R. Is it possible to upgrade to version 8.3 or do I have to buy new software?

  No, you pushed PES 11 up to the limit. You could move on to PSE 13, or you can download the free adobe dng converter and use it to make the DNG files that your version of ACR can understand.

  I'm pushing on with W2K3 on ESX 2.5.5. I think it's OK and believe that I've done it before.
