version of vSphere CLI

Hello. Now I use 4.0u1 ESXi, and I want to upgrade to ESXi 4.1u1.

What version vSphere CLI should I use to upgrade?

Currently, I'm using ESXi 4.0u1, so I think I should use vSphere CLI 4.0.

Or I try to update to ESXi 4.1u1, so I think I should use vSphere 4.1 CLI.

Am I comfusing which version should I use.

Kind regards

Kazuya

Just use vSphere 4.1 CLI

It is backward compatible with the older versions of ESX

  • How to upgrade to the latest version of PhoneGap (cli - 6.3.0)?

    I want to upgrade the version of PhoneGap cli - 5.2.0 to cli - 6.3.0 for my hybrid application. According to the documentationPhoneGap, adding the following preference in my file config.xml should suffice; but it does not work for me.

    <preference name="phonegap-version" value="cli-6.3.0"/> 

    When I download my code with the updated config.xml file, the generation is no shortage but the PhoneGap version is not updated either.

  • replication with different versions of vSphere vSphere

    After reviewing the matrix of interoperability of products, everything "looks" good, but caring for a second opinion.  See below:

    Environment:

    • vCenter 6 sites
    • PSC external sites
    • Protected site is vSphere 5.5 Update 2 or 3
    • Recovery site is vSphere 6.0 U2
    • vSphere 6.1 replication
    • 6.1 SRM

    Issues related to the:

    Can anyone confirm the support in regards to the different version of vSphere protected and recovery site?

    Are there related shades to have different versions of vSphere protected and recovery site?

    We can successfully failover to the recovery site, reprotect VMs to protected site and be restored in a site protected without problem?

    Different versions of vSphere are supported to recover protected site and as you have configured, it is recommended to have the new version on the recovering site. The reason for this and be careful about the different versions, has to do with the versions of virtual equipment. VMware ESX can run VMs with earlier versions of virtual hardware, but not later (came out after the version of vSphere). You want to make sure that your virtual machines will run on the host on the recovering site. If you are using a later version of vSphere to recovery, as long as you deploy new virtual machines when running it, or if you do this, you use a virtual hardware version that is compatible with the hosts what was your site protected, you will never come across the problem of trying to recover a virtual machine with the hardware version that is incompatible with vSphere.

  • vSphere CLI: error: unknown command

    This could be as simple as just something I miss, but since I do not use the CLI much at all, I thought I'd ask just. I can connect to the CLI, but any command I use the host responds just with either "< command > not found" or when you use vSphere CLI "error: unknown command or namespace.

    I even tried connecting through my server vCenter Server and then go out to the host by using the command - vihost, that works, but I still get the error that the command I try to use it recognized.

    You must run this command from the prompt (not hull as shown above) vSphere CLI commands and make sure the bin is in your path. Otherwise that run from here;

  • SRM requires the same version of vSphere in both places?

    We need to quickly implement SRM, I know that is not the way to do it, but it is a decision that I am not charged. We will use SRM 5.1.  I have not read the documentation of SRM totally still, but I hope someone can answer me this:

    Do we need to run the same version of vSphere in both places?

    Site A (Production):

    -vSphere 4.1 (updated anything) Enterprise - because our material is NOTon the compatibility list for something more recent

    -vCenter 5.1 - Let's fix our current server vCenter Server 4.1 to 5.1

    Site B (DR):

    -vSphere 4.1 U2 (or newer) company - this material is NOT identical to that site but is compatible with 4.1 U2 thru 5.1

    -vCenter Server 5.1

    We have here a viable solution?

    Thanks for the help.

    You're right that MRS requires 3rd party replication or VMware vSphere replication (or you can use the two together).  SRM itself doesn't replicate anything, she orchestrates and manages the recovery of virtual machines protected by these other mechanisms.

    If you do not have the option of replication of the table, then you must use vSphere replication.

    VR, however, is a function of the ESXi core appeared in 5.0.  He is by nature a part of the hypervisor itself, so he needs to a 5.x or higher host to use, it's is not an authorization to issue at all.

    To use VR, you will need the hosts on both sites to use 5.x - site source must 5.x use the Filter/agent in the core that produced the data from the replica.

    My * personal * take on it's you would be best served to stand up for VC 5.1 on both sites, and then upgrade your hosts to 5.1, and then deploy appliances virtual RV (used to manage replication and register the service with VC), can protect certain virtual machines so that you get used to the behavior of VR, then put the RS on top (5.1 on the two sites) and start building protection of groups and the stimulus packages and others.

  • What are the steps in vSphere CLI?

    I downloaded and installed vSphere CLI but I get the following error

    'Connect' is not recognized as internal or external, command an executable program or batch file.

    The main difference between the vSphere CLI and PowerCLI is that vSphere CLI is Perl based and PowerCLI is based on PowerShell. Both are great tools and can be used for the automation of your vSphere environment. Which tool is best for you depends on your experience with Perl or PowerShell.

    You can also combine these two tools I described in my blog How to run scripts perl CLI of PowerCLI VMware vSphere.

    Hello

    I installed the vSphere 4.1 CLI on Windows Server 2003 SP2 (x 32) and when I try to connect using the vicfg - nas.pl it gives error below. W2K3 x 32-bit is supported according to the vSphere CLI document. I don't know where he's going wrong then.

  • Don't vSphere CLI use the FTP mode?

    Does anyone know what vSphere CLI uses to connect to a hypervisor?  I suspect it is FTP, but I can't get confirmation on this.

    I think that ports it communicates via are similar to the vSphere-SSH Client or HTTPS and maybe vmware 901or 902 ports
