• How do I upgrade to ESX 4.0 Update 2 to 4.0 3

  Can someone provide me with a way to upgrade from ESX 4.0 update 2 to 4.0 update 3? I found that I can't do this by Vsphere update manager. I have the ESX - 4.0.0 - update03 - 398348.iso file you downloaded, do I need to burn this disc and put in there and start up to it? Who will provide a graphical user interface to upgrade? What are my options? I appreciate any help you can provide.

  Thank you

  You cannot use the ISO file to upgrade an ESX 4.0 host existing. This is only supported for ESX 3.5 Update 5 guests. Please, take a look at for example http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_esx40_u3_rel_notes.html (supported Upgrade paths to upgrade ESX 4.0 Update 3 host) to find out what options are available.

• Cannot use upgrade Update Manager to ESX 4.0 Update 1

  We use vCenter 4.0. There are combinations of update4 ESX 3.5 and ESX ESX 4.0 host update1. I intend to upgrade to host ESX 3.5 update 4 ESX 4.0 update1.   I use ESX 4.0 update 1 DVD ISO Picture, when I try to create a baseline for the upgrade of the host, I get the following error.  It is said "impossible to import upgrade, upgrade version is not supported by this version fo Vmware VCenter update manager. I know that I can directly connect to ESX 3.5 and run the esxupdate or boot ESX 4.0 update DVD and perform the upgrade. I wonder why cann't Update Manager? We know the right answer?

  

  Just a guess.

  As you try to download the update of ESX 1, I guess that your vCenter Server is already on the update 1.

  If so you can update manager to update to version 4.0 Update 1 Patch 2.

• Build number esx wrong after upgrading to esx 2.5 update 4

  I have 2 area of ESX host in update 2 (#110268 build number). I upgraded one of my box with the Update Manager by creating a basaline which included upgrading esx 4 only.

  After that I took out of the modality of mintenance of the host ESx updeated I have always the same number as before construction. I tried to restart the server services VC but who has not updated the build number.

  So I login in the form of the console and the command of v - vmware has given me the right version number (153875).

  so, what gives? Anyone know why there is an inconsistency in the VIC and the console? What I have to restart my ESX host in the order the update version number indicated by VIC?

  Thnks

  go to the service console and type:

  service mgmt-vmware restart

• Level of ESX 3.5 update 4 CD vs upgrade package

  I am interested in upgraging my ESX 3.5 update 2 update 4. On the download page, it lists two options, the ISO image and the upgrade package. I downloaded both. I have updated using the ISO image before. It seems that the upgrade package is all the applicable to the update 4, usually installed patches using esxupdate. It seems easier to use the CD and update at the same time. The installation of several patches normally involves several reboots of ESX host. Will there be a situation where the upgrade package assistance would be more beneficial than the upgrade using the ISO?

  Thank you!

  No, if download you the archive update (zip file).  This will include all patches in a package, and you can run esxupdate in the folder decompressed to update all patches at the same time.

• VMware Tools will not be upgraded after ESX 3.5 Update 4

  I just updated our ESX 3.5 Update 4 host and now our VMs show there is an update for VMware Tools.  However, the update fails near the end of the upgrade with error 1722.

  Any thoughts on what could be the cause?

  -Ken

  The solution that works for me for this error to this machine virtual (operating system Windows 2003) was to start the following services.

  • Distributed Transaction Coordinator. (usually a culprit for the failure of the installation I found anyway...)

  • Application system COM +.

  If these services where not started, start this service and retry the update or install.

  You can stop these services (if you want) once Setup is complete

• Server problems of Oracle database since the upgrade to 5.5 Update 2

  Hello world

  Reach out to see if someone else can meet the same problems we are experiencing. Since his arrival at 5.5 to day 2 5.0, we have experienced some problems with our servers, Oracle Database 11.2 running on Oracle Linux 6.2.  Nothing really the consistency between the question, brief description of what we had problems, we had 2 VMS are inaccessible, another who froze this necessary and the most recent reset which displays the virtual machine entered mode isolated, requiring a person to get on the console to access the network.  Before the upgrade, these virtual machines have been broadcast for years without any problem. The only common denominator issues is the upgrade to ESX 5.5 Update 2. Any input would be really appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you

  Hello world

  In collaboration with HP and VMware, we believe that we have narrowed it down to the question of the 554FLB firmware and driver adapter, have updated and environments have been stable, we keep our fingers crossed.

  1 Hope you have Crossover installed and configured with vCenter Server. If none please follow this installation guide.

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vsp_vum_41_admin_guide.PDF

  2. once the VUM extension is added to the vCenter server, select it from the House.

  In vSphere Client that is connected to the vCenter server.

  Home-> Solutions and Applications-> Update Manager.

  

  3. go in 'Baseline and groups' and create a baseline "Host Upgrade". PLS, see the Administrator's guide mentioned above for steps to create a base line.

  4. go to the tab "Repository of Patch" and select the "Cumulative" package for «VMware ESXi 4 Update3»

  

  5 right-click the bundle selected rollup that is 'VMware ESXi 4 full Update3"and add to the newly created base line.

  6 fix the base to the host line after putting the host in maintenance mode.

  7. analysis of the host, it should show the host is non-compliant.

  8 stage and clean up the base line.

  9. you must reboot the host to complete the upgrade process.

  No Yes No problem. Just run 1) to ensure that things are OK before 2) who is the real thing. Maybe you want to go to ESXi as the next version would be communicated of ESXi only.

• ESX 3.5 Update 5 versus question 4.1 VMotion ESX

  Good afternoon

  I hope it's a small question, I'll try to be concise.

  Basically I have an instance of Virtual Center 2.5 Enterprise (original version) with two ESX 3.5 knots (original also build... don't read any updated). DRS and HA are enabled.

  We started to exceed two knots (about 40 guests between them) and we recently ordered two new servers. Since it is several years since our first installation, we cannot buy the same materials. My understanding is that ESX 3.5 and earlier did not play really well when you introduced different hardware (servers) in a cluster. I've heard say that ESX 3.5 Update 5 (besides being current and taken in charge) remedies this problem. Is this true?

  Can I update my current environment ESX 3.5 update 5 and updated to Virtual Center 2.5 update 6 and then introduce some servers intel based more recent (but similar) in the cluster without any problems (ie. Invited VMotion between all ESX 4 nodes).

  Upgrade to 4.1 is more than I can swallow in the next few days, as they would result at the end of next week. I guess I can go down the licensing of two new ESX Server (ESX 4.1 licenses have been purchased for these new servers).

  Thank you

  TMR

  Am I right to assume that, in this perspective, ESX 3.5 U2 and ESX 4.1 will be will be the same in terms of CPU and EVC baselines (in other words, 4.1 has an advantage here).

  Yes, it's a safe assumption.  VCA Mode automatically applies the best option of compatibility possible for you, regardless of the version of ESX.  It is strictly for the CPU compatibility.

• ESX 4.0 Update 1 vs ESX 4.0 Update 1 has

  I anticipate a 3.5 to 4 ESX ESX upgrade and notes that "ESX 4.0 Update 1" (814MB ISO, build 208167) and 'Package Upgrade ESX 4.0 to ESX Server 4.0 Server Update 1 a' (739MB zip).

  Hmmm... I've never known VMware to publish '1a' versions of ESX and KB article below does not reference anything other that it is more build 208167 and continues to list a set of patches.

  Why would be released "1a"?  Wouldn't more typical for U1, U2, U3, etc be released and then, for patches between them, simply use the Update Manager?

  I just had to ask that we start picking up my documentation and installers in preparing for this project.  Thank you.

  You are right, for the upgrade of the host you should definitely use the ISO 1 update.

  Sorry if I confused you with my first answer.

  What I meant by "You don't have to worry about update 1 and 1 a update when you update from version 3.5" was the 1a Update doesn't have any effect on this scenario (that's why VMware has not released a new DVD image for the 1a update). 1 to update just came out to correct an installation problem when updating to 4.0 - with the HP management agents installed - update 1. The binaries are the same, there was only the installation change, as described in the article.

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• VUM using up-to-date ESX 3.5 update 4.

  I have a 2 part question.

  1. I want to update our servers esx 3 update 1 update 4 through the Vmware update Manager.  I have a base created with ESX 3.5 Update 4 assigned to each Esx server ready for sanitation, but should I upgrade VCenter and VUM first before rolling on sanitation?

  2 would you be upgradet Esx 3.5 Update 4 or go straight to vSphere4?

  My current setup for info:

  Virtual Center 2.1

  Up1 ESX 3.5 on 3 x HP DL460c G1 16 gb

  EVA4100_1

  Windows 2003 Ent VM 20

  First of all, if you decide to keep your VI3, upgrade the server VC FRONT the ESX servers. It is not a good thing to have more recent than the server VC - ESXs and your UNIFIED messaging will also be more up-to-date.

  If you have the opportunity to upgrade to vSphere, go ahead - you have many more benefits by using the new features and etc.
