vCenter version question

Hello

I have 1 host running ESXi 4.1 build 260247.

Earlier, we add a 2nd machine ESXi for HA.  This means that I have to also run vCenter.  I have vCenter 4.1 build 259021 installed on a computer and have added that the new host to the HA cluster.  It seems to work so far...

We will not go to vSphere 5 for awhile.

Questions: Should I run the last vCenter 4.1 U2?  The old machines ESXi 4.1 works perfectly with the latest vCenter 4.1 U2?

If I upgrade the hosts ESXi 4.1 4.1 U2, guests VMware tools will need to be upgraded?

Thank you!

Bug fixes are likely - good

The old machines ESXi 4.1 works perfectly with the latest vCenter 4.1 U2?

Yes!

If I upgrade the hosts ESXi 4.1 4.1 U2, guests VMware tools will need to be upgraded?

It would be nice, but is not an absolute requirement.  You can take your time and make it when convinient.

Thank you!

  • Can someone advise on RHEL 7 comments OS customization support in vCenter Version 6.0?

  • vCenter Licensing Question

    We are currently conducting environment vSphere with vCenter Server 5 5 (using the VCSA).  My vSphere, ESXi licensing have the right to upgrade to vSphere 6, but is not my vCenter license.  After further review, we have seen that the SnS support contact us on our vCenter license had expired in January 2015, so we went ahead and got that renewed back support.  My question is, now that we have renewed the support we may update this license vCenter vCenter license 5 6 or we will have to buy a new license of vCenter 6 new?  I checked my VMware Licensing Portal and this shows that we have supported on vCenter 2018 license, but I don't see any option upgrade to this topic.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the community,

    as far as I know all the licenses that are (or were taken over at the time a new version was released) by an active subscription can be upgraded. When you select "Update license keys" in the drop down menu "I want", you should be able to select and upgrade your vCenter Server license.

  • HP Pavilion p6733w: BIOS version question

    HP experts out there or anyone with better information resources?  I'm looking for what type of BIOS initially provided with my computer, a HP Pavilion p6733w with a motherboard RS880 H-Alvorix.

    Hi there @chocolatejeebus,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you are looking for more information on the original BIOS installed on your system. I'm happy to help you with this.

    If you've never updated the BIOS on your system, or if you have updated once, then the original BIOS must always be available on your computer. This is your current BIOS or you can eat to help: desktop HP - BIOS recovery.

    The support page for your system, HP Pavilion p6733w Desktop PC, the BIOS for the Board you describe is: N-Alvorix-RS880 motherboard BIOS Update Rev A 6.07. There is no earlier version described at all.

    Please let me know if that answers your question, and if so, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • WRT54G (version 2) Firmware Version Question

    Hello

    Beautiful room here. I'm glad that this facility exists.

    I have the router WRT54G version 2. Finally, I upgraded the version of firmware years before Cisco Linksys bought.

    A recent announcement by the people of Black Hat (treaties in this article of TechSpot) about their intention to publish a validation tool to exploit a vulnerability of DNS rebinding on a great many routers SOHO forced me to check for the latest update of firmware for my router.

    The interesting thing is that my router's Web interface lists the current version of the firmware as 4.30.12, but the latest version of the downloadable firmware that I see listed on the support site is 4.21.1. I'm not very surprised by this apparent anomaly. If I remember correctly, that firmware version 4.30.12 download is a beta that was supposed to fix a problem connecting WiFi to a certain type. If this version of the firmware was still considered a beta at the time of the acquisition of Linksys by Cisco - or a 'stable' later firmware version incorporating the same or better fixes for the issues addressed by 4.30.12 that had been produced at that time-so maybe 4.30.12 was ruled out.

    If you read the article of TechSpot and the associated table of preliminary vulnerability, test reports, you'll see that router WRT54G version 2 is not specifically listed. Version 3 of the router is listed as vulnerable, and version 5 of the router is not.

    So, my questions are:

    Everyone here is aware of information indicating whether or not the problem of DNS Rebinding vulnerability affects the WRT54G version 2 with the last registered (4.21.1) router firmware version?

    If so, does anyone know if yes or no Cisco plans to release an update for this old router?

    If the router is vulnerable and will not be solved with a firmware update I'll probably have myself a new LInksys router which is not listed as vulnerable. (Believe me, I'm not leaving this thread to bash Linksys. This router ran like a train of 24 hours a day for years without a single hiccup that was not directly attributable to the problems of the ISP. For the price, it's one of the best purchases of equipment I've ever done calculation. And I have done this since the beginning of the 80s when I was using a CP/M system and an Apple / / e.)

    If the 4.21.1 version firmware for WRT54G version 2 is not affected, I wonder if anyone knows if yes or no 'downgrading' of 4.30.12 to 4.21.1 is likely to lead to a failure of the router. (I'll probably try it anyway. If it brick the router I'll just go ahead and get a new one.)

    BTW, I use this router with the ease of remote administration and UPnP off and strong admin password that is changed each week. (When I always used wireless I used WPA2 AES with strong password, but I am all wired now with the systems running Debian testing).

    Forgive me for talking to myself. I decided to just go ahead and "downgrade" of the 4.30.12 firmware 4.21.1 version - just because I prefer to use a version of firmware known and supported for this material. The downgrade has gone well, so no worries about this.

    I'll look for news on whether or not this version of the firmware on this particular router is vulnerable to the flaw in DNS rebinding and acts accordingly.

    Sorry for the noise.

  • Media Center Extender and xbox - version question

    I've been recently using WMC TV recording, but I can't get the message to my TV. I think of buying any old Xbox console to get the Extender. -I really hate on the games-just the Extender. Is there a certain version of the Xbox that I have Extender? Thank you.

    Hi Dean,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    You can go through the article to learn more about setting up a Windows Media Center.

    If you have an Extender that worked with Windows Vista, it should work with Windows 7. For example, the Xbox 360, which includes the built-in Media Center Extender functionality will work with Windows 7.

    Former dilution models that have been developed for use with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 do not work with Windows 7. I suggest you to be sure to read the fine print on the expansion box before you buy.

    Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need assistance in the future. We will be happy to help you.

  • Update vCenter Version but not the hosts?

    I work in an environment where we run vSphere Essentials with 3 guests.  Currently, we always run on 2 hosts 5.5 and 5.1 on the third.  We have only a VMWare subscription right now but they helped 6.0.  Without disabling the host licenses, is there a way to get my driver's license for vCenter only so I can get converted from the Windows version of vCenter to the virtual appliance, make sure that everything works and then not worry to modernize 6.0U2 hosts?  I think there is probably a way, but did not want to upgrade all licenses and to cancel licenses for my guests.

    If it is useful, we've done installing vCenter database are not use VUM right now (if I want to implement in the future).  Any help is very appreciated.

    There is no technical effect in the upgrade of the licenses. When you upgrade a license in the portal, you must confirm that you no longer use the old license. The right way to do the updates is to install the new version in evaluation mode (works for 60 days) and update the license once the old system was arrested.

    3. There be any question, removing the vcenter/host integration in newspaper Insight and use a separate method of sending newspapers to the Insight Journal?

  • Material of VMware Version Question

    Hello

    I use Vsphare 5.1 build, where most of the hardware version of the VM's vmx-09. today I noticed a few virtual machines are still showing version 8 material.

    According to our knowledge, we have created all virtual machines with the selected hardware version 9 of the same model, so can help me to determine on what basis it still shows version 8.

    is there a way to know that they never had updated or they reports incorrect hardware version.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Takecoffe

    You can use PowerCLI for this work. Connect to your vCenter using Connect-VIServer. Then use this command to get a list of server and their corresponding hardware version: Get - VM | Select Name, Version, ToolsVersion, ToolsVersionStatus

    You can also transfer this to a CSV file with a couple of more lines, see here: a PowerCLI Liners | Virtualize MeVirtualize me

    This page also has lots of useful PowerCLI oneliners to use for various tasks.

    I hope this helps.

    I can't find how you can apply a process appeared in Camera Raw v7 when your version can support up to v6.7 of Camera Raw.

  • VCenter Converter - Question on the process

    Thanks, I'm out here with you nice people, I am currently a migration old (but loyal and faithful) Windows Advanced Server 2000 to my ESXi server.

    My question is what is happening during the conversion of the VCenter Converter running. I'm a convert about 100 GB of things. The estimated time of competition is about 17 hours.

    There is a drive C: and D: drive drive E:. When I do this for a client, I wonder if there will be data loss. More precisely, suppose that a service is running on the C: collecting data. In my case, it's true. I have a product called Spamlion goes filters email before it goes to my Exchange Server.

    Once the conversion of drive C: is complete and, I guess, the Spamlion service is restarted by the converter, not emails that come in this server * not * be copied onto the hard I create? More simply, if I had to save some .pdf on the C: drive after the C: drive has been converted would not these data * not * do more to the hard?

    When I migrate a company of Small Business Server to server ESXi will be I have to stop incoming messages and access to the server during the conversion to avoid users to save data to the SBS until I bring the ESXi virtual machine?

    Thank you very much!

    Mike Gallery

    Converter does NOT support the consintency restart or application services.

    This case, you have to malleable.

    The right way is stop all services before you start the conversion, and then start the virtual machine (reconfigure to fixed IP and remove the old drivers), then check if the services start again.

    To convert an SBS or an AD domain controller you must stop the AD, so away 2003 or earlier, you must run in AD restore mode.
