  Using the Update Manager when he is incapable of vMotion.

  I have three Essentials licensed 5.0 hosts and vCenter operating on one of them as a virtual machine. All VM runs on the local disk. I'm tired of patching of CLI and want to use the Update Manager. I can easily do that, on the other hand, two hosts where vCenter is not running but obviously not on the host where it is running.

  I have a data store that is shared in the form of a QNAP NAS, but I can't Storage vMotion because of licensing restrictions. I can't do a vMotion "shared nothing" to another host due to the same restriction. It's like a catch-22 situation.

  I have the service window where I can turn off all the virtual machine

  Anyone has ideas on the use of Update Manager in this configuration or do I just forget about it

  Clone the vCenter even to another VM and make the vcenter temp on another host or elsewhere to deploy a new vCenter on another host and update the host from there

• How to use the Update Manager

  I'm going to update ESXi 5.5 hosts my cluster but I know Update Manager component, so I ask if it is possible to host unique patch so that I can test VM on it and then to extend the update to the other guests.

  Can you offer me to apply all updates or it is usually to give priority to the security updates? I use Vmware image of HP because my hosts are server blades Proliant.

  How can I start? You have to suggest the quick start guide?

  Update Manager downloads the list of patches available from vmware.com. To configure the frequency of the update of the repository, click on House. Click the Update Manager icon. On the Configuration tab, click Patch download calendar.

  To view the scheduled task Patch download, click Homepage > scheduled tasks > VMware vCenter Update Manager Update to download.

  
  Notes:

  • To manually run this task, right-click the task, click run.

  • When you run the task, see task Download Patch definitions in the these last tasks.

  • If the download Patch definitions task fails, make sure that Update Manager can reach vmware.com. For more information

  To set baselines to the ESX host:

  1. Click home > hosts and Clusters.

  2. Highlight the ESX host, you want to update, and then click the Update Manager .

  3. Click on Attach. Select host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click attach.

     Note: to create basic custom lines click home > Update Manager > planning and groups > Create.

  To analyze the ESX host for missing patches on the repository, right-click on the ESX host and click find updates > patches and Extensions > Scan.

  Notes:

  • Scan progress is displayed by The entity of Scan task in the recent tasks.

  • The analysis of the host does not affect running virtual machines.

  • If parsing fails, make sure that the ports between Update Manager and the ESX host is open. For more information, seerequirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

  • When the analysis is complete, you will see the number of missing patches on the ESX host. If some patches are missing, you see Compliant.

  To restore the missing patches to the ESX host:

  1. Turn off all the virtual machines or vMotion them to another ESX host.
  2. Place the ESX host in maintenance mode. Right click on the ESX host, choose to enter the Maintenance Modeand click on Yes.
  3. Right-click on the ESX host and choose clean > host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click Next.
  4. Choose which updates or patches to install, click Next > Next > Finish.

  Notes:

  • Progress of sanitation are illustrated by the task of the principal remedy in the recent tasks.

  • This task could take some time as Update Manager starts to download the patches to the vmware.com website.

  • If the restore fails, ensure that Update Manager, ESX host, and vmware.com ports are open. For more information, see requirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

• The ESX host could restart after complete rehabilitation.

• How to use the update updates 5.1.0a to 5.1.0b?

  Sorry, I'm a newbie.

  Can someone please advise me on how to upgrade my ESXi of either 5.1.0 & 5.1.0a to 5.1.0b using the Update Manager?

  Is it possible to update without having to use the ISO (using the installation of patches)?

  I have 2 main questions:

  1. impossible to update Manager (someone has helped me create a baseline using downloaded ISO "VIMsetup")

  -Guest disconnected with weird error console (sorry no screenshots that I discovered that it was a NETWORK card driver problem much later)

  -Blocked 26% (if you use the Update Manager)

  -some weird message on console, can only view or list a few config

  2. cannot perform direct upgrade of iso or disc bootable on Dell G 12 servers (Dell R320 & r.620)

  -No found NETWORK card (if you use disks or virtual disks via iso mount)

  The file ~3.4GB (arther than 3 TB) you mention is very probably the package of vCenter Server (VMware-VIMSetup-all - 5.1.0 - 947939) and does not contain installation ESXi (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.1.0 - 799733.x86_64.iso).

  Update Manager cannot be used to update or patch vCenter Server, but only the ESXi hosts (or virtual appliances).

• Automatic shutdown of the virtual machines in the Update Manager

  Is it possible to automatically stop the virtual machines as part of the Update Manager?  We have our virtual machines configured for auto power off/start with the host.  But when we apply a lot of patching ESX using the Update Manager, he waits for us to stop manually before putting the host in maintenance mode.

  Any way to automate that? Thank you!

  But when we apply a lot of patching ESX using the Update Manager, he waits for us to stop manually before putting the host in maintenance mode.

  Lol WHA each fails to accomplish is ESX is an enterprise product, it must be used with vMotion.  If the Update Manager is designed to make this easy and pain free, so if you have the shared storage, your VM will migrate to another host, maintenance is done, and the virtual machine back.

  ESX is essentially a hands on environment.  I know everyone can't afford a SAN, but ESX caters to these large enterprise systems that do not have SAN.

  By making a patch, so we are now toward the Windows stand alone everyday server where you have done EACH server, or do it manually power off / closure of EACH virtual machine is EVEN easier to do this 1 by 1 on EACH physical host.

  Consider so it cannot be the best option, it isn't that hard to select ALL VM under tension and click "shut down guest.  Besides that if you plan for a breakdown, you can stop the VM remotely (if windows) by using a shutdown script.

  There are a lot of options to do this, but there is no stopping the VM before update, you must do it manually.

• remove the update manager updates

  I use the Update Manager.  I downloaded a large number of updates that are no longer applicable in my environment and I would like to remove them from the repository so that they are not occupy disk space.  For example, I have more esx 3.0.3 in my environment and I would only the updates that I had downloaded previously removed from the repository.  Anyway is to do.  I see where they are stored on the VirtualCenter server, but I'm reluctant just go and delete the folder containing the esx updates - 3.0.3.

  Thanks for the help.

  This has been an of my by peeves on VUM since its inception. You can not manage the files it downloads. Once downloaded, it is in the database. If the files get damaged, the only way to refresh the files is a re - install Crossover with a database reset. It is the same on the files that you no longer need. No way to get rid of them in the MUV.

  You can use Windows Explorer to delete files, but VUM will always think they are here.

• BlackBerry Smartphones New - fatal error during the first update by using the Office Manager phone

  During my first update using the Desktop Manager, there were 13 steps, and I had to unplug to half way through.

  Now when I try to repeat the process, the update gets steps 1-6 and just after reconnecting to JVM (step 6) I get a "fatal error update device software, please try again" I tried several times and it always stops in the same place.  The phone then has the radio turned off, and I have to restore the connections.

  I'm not an irritable person, so any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!!!

  Never disconnect during an update. Never.

  This is therefore a new phone, follow the instructions below.

  First, remove the battery from the BlackBerry when lit, to subject a minuite, replace and see if it restarts. If this is not the case, continue below.

  First find your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.

  Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

  1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
  2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
  3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

• Adobe lightroom does not update when I use the application manager to download upgrades.

  Hello

  I have problems with adobe lightroom.  It is not updated when I use the application manager to download the new updates.  I tried to uninstall the application and re-download it, however the application manager will not allow that to happen because it shows that it is already installed and up to date. I think that the problem may have started when I installed lightroom using a link which you offered when creative cloud first started offering of lightroom.  This version of the program does not appear to work with the application manager.  Please let me know what I should do to fix the problem.

  Best regards

• By using the Recovery Manager to repartition the HARD drive

  I started a post a few days back on my pavilion DM1-3014AU netbook that runs on AMD APU-E350, 2 GB of ram and comes pre loaded with windows 7 Home Basic. I had a number of requests because I want to repartition the hard drive, do a fresh install of windows 7 my disc and I also want to keep some of the hp software.

  After going through a few messages in this forum, I learned that we can use the Recovery Manager to do a minimal install, IE windows 7 and only the hp software. That's what I have to do unless I also want to repartition the hard drive.

  I currently have 4 partitions, C drive, hp tools (hidden) and backup (hidden). I have already created recovery disks. Now, my questions are:-

  1. can I use recovery disks or Recovery Manager to delete all existing partitions and recreate my own partitions. This means that I would remove the recovery, tools and backup partitions.

  2. After doing the above I'll be able to do a minimal install (os + hp software) via the Recovery Manager or the recovery disks.

  3. my intutions are that I can accomplish the above two using the recovery disks and not the recovery partition. If the above two steps are possible using recovery discs, it would ultimately have no partition on my hard drive recovery. I will then be able to use the recovery disks in the future to make the same minimum install (os + hp software)

  4. I wouldn't really keep the recovery, tools and backup partitions if they can be of any complacency in the future but the reson why I want to delete them, is that windows 7 Home Basic allows no more than 4 partitions and I want to be able to create at least 4 partitions for my use.

  Any help would be really appreciated...

  Yes Vikrant... it is unnecessary to install UEFI to update BIOS.

  Yes, if you install the update to the BIOS using the link I provided in my previous thead element, you can as a revert to a version of BIOS as soon as possible if you feel that the system is unstable.

  Even if you reparition the whole HARD disk and do a manimized install, you can install the BIOS update in the future.

  Updating the BIOS is independent if you did full recovery or minimizes recovery.

  BIOS update will not affect the use of recovery disks and procedures. You can safely use them in the future without any problem.

  You will use the ability to run F9 diagnostics incase of any software system crash, and you are unable to start Windows.

  2. With Lightroom closed
  • Access

  C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences    (Where AppData is a system folder / hidden so you may need to enter the name of the folder directly into your browser's address bar or activate hidden folders / system in the Internet Explorer view folder options.)

  • Open the file LightroomPreferences.agprefs
  • Locate the line use = True autobahn (press CTRL + F)
  • Take Autobahn use = False
