• 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.

• vCenter 4, Virtual Center 2.5 update 5

  Hello

  I am eager to test vSphere and plan on the modernisation of one of my ESX hosts at vSpehre(ESX 4). At the moment all my ESX hosts running ESX 3.5 Update 4 and they plug into my virtual center which is Virtual Center 2.5 update 5. I'm wondering - is it possible for me to update one of my hosts vsphere and power continue to administer fully in VC 2.5. Or do I have to put my server VC to vCenter 4 to allow me to fully administer.

  Hoping someone can put me straight on this one, can't find anything official.

  Thanks in advance.

  To test that fully, you will need to have vCenter 4 - since you only test I resist a new vCenter Server 4 and use this leaving your existing environment intact

• The upgrade for the virtual center 2.5 update 3

  I'm currently running virtual center 2.5.0 Update 1. (build 84767)  The server app and oracle are currently on the same server.  I'm going to do a new install of virtual center 2.5 update 3 on a new server.  Someone at - it a have no matter what advice or can point me to a good documentation.  Thank you

  Yes.  Follow best practices in manual and separate the DB app.  Put it on the same server are a bad idea.  Other than that, it's an operation simple pretty seemless as long as you follow the instructions.

• Virtual Center 2.5 update

  I'm about to set off on a new project to update our esx knots... but first I'd like get our up to U4 VirtualCenter server... Is there any 'minimum' host patch level requirements poins to U4 on VirtualCenter?

  Or any questions you guys have had with different rev/patch levels I should be aware of, during this process? Not a massive update, but I have about 25 guests or to do...

  Thank you

  vCenter 2.5.x can manage the 3.0.x completely to the hosts 3.5.0U4, hosts so there is no specific patch level you need to be on your ESX host.

• The upgrade of the Virtual Center 2 update 4 update?

  I am currently running ESXi on IBm blades and they are running version 3i, 3.5.0 Update 2

  We have Virtual Center 3.5 Update 2 installed as well.

  We seek to improve our 3i to 4 upgrade ESX and Virtual Center.  I was looking through the upgrade guide, but there wasn't this listed scenario.

  My plan was to:

  Take c and inplace upgrade of the Virtual Center Update 2 to 4 update server

  VMotion invited out of one of our blades, then update the blade and bring guests.

  Am I missing something?  Are there documents more precise that lists how should I do this?

  seems good... Just get a full backup of your DB vCenter before starting.

  The Upgrade Guide can be helpful as well.

  Also, VMware tools for your guest will require an upgrade as well.

• Update ESXi with a Virtual Center Server

  Hello

  I've updated a Standalone ESXi server using this guide

  http://www.vmadmin.co.UK/VMware/35-esxserver/262-esxvihostupdate

  It works the same way during the updating of the ESXi servers that are under a virtual Center Server?

  Thank you

  as part of the upgrade, using Crossover, a new vCenter agent is pushed. So, no, you don't break anything.

• Problems of Virtual Center update

  Hello

  I'm trying to update my 2.5 Update virtual Center 2-day 6 and downloaded the zip on the VMWARE site.  When I run through the upgrade, everything seems fine and I click on install, but shortly after, I get:

  Windows Installer - another version of this product is already installed.  The installation of this version cannot continue.  To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel.

  Is it not possible to upgrade on top?  You really have to uninstall the old version of VCenter to update to the current iteration?  This is my first Virtual Center upgrade.  Or is that what I downloaded the wrong package?  And is there a smaller package to use for update?

  Kind regards

  Darren

  Another version of this product is already installed. The installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel.

  Is it not possible to upgrade on top?

  Apparently not... It does not give an error, he specifically told you TO remove it all first.  vCenter 4.0 performs the removal of previous versions for you.

  And just info there is NOT such a thing as an 'upgrade' EVERY install, Windows, programs, EVERYTHING a re - INSTALLS the product, some may simply automate the removal of the software if you don't have to do, but NO Windows "updates" package the existing installation, they ALWAYS remove the oldest elements, then replaced with the most recent.

• Update Virtual Center to U1

  I need to upgrade my Virtual Center to match my ESX4 U1 servers.  It seem not to be many complaints about bad server updates to Virtual Center.  Is it really as simple as performing the installation and reboot?  Our envorionemnt is entirely HA.

  I remember there is even no need to reboot the server vCenter. Just a little down on service vCenter.

  HA will continue to work without vCenter.

• Update of ESX4 without virtual center or Update Manager

  Hello

  I use a 1 host configuration, where Virtual Center is installed as a virtual machine. I understand that this is not "best practice". Our host in a data center and rack space is limited for us. Anyway, how we would update ESX in this environment? Virtual Center being a virtual machine, it will have to be stopped to host clean up the updates. We cannot provide a physical box at present to perform Virtual Center. Is there therefore a non Virtual Center / Update Manager ESX update mode?

  Thanks as always...

  Unfortunately, it will not work with ESX - because updates are done differently. Each update in ESXi update the firmware to the previous version, while in ESX each patch is added to the ESX operating system.

  The download link of the last update is here - https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-166-20091202-254879/ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip

  You will have to powerdown your VMS put your host in maintenance mode - install the patch

• Try to update to Virtual Center Server

  I've recently started a business and need to update their virtual Center Server, they run the 2.0.1 version.  When I try to download updates VMWares site won't let me. It says I need a license for Virtual Center 2.0.  I see that the company has a license for version 1.0, but I do not see a 2.0.  Could they have had version 1.0 patched to 2.0.1?  How are they able to run 2.0.1 version if they do not have a licesnce for her?  How can I move forward with this upgrade.   I am also able to download updates for ESX server, virtual center just not.

  I would call VMware and know who registered your VM products and if the interview is still active. Having the license file will help if they do not find you in the database. If you use Notepad, you can view the license file and it should show you what you licensed and have a name associated with it.

  Something like that

  INCREMENT VC_DAS VMWARELM 2005.05 permanent 4.

  VENDOR_STRING = "licenseType = Server;" vmodl = das; desc =-VMware

  HA; capacityType = cpuPackage' Publ. = January 20, 2009.

  NOTICE = "FulfillmentId = XXXXXX; name = AARON' TS_OK.

• Virtual Center to update update 5

  Hello

  I'm currently on Virtual Center Version 2.5.0 Build 84767... databases are on the SQL 2005 Enterpirise edition that is running on the same box...

  I'm planning an upgrade to 'update of 5' and I have 3 questions:

  1 at - it an "update option" in the Wizard installation or is it going to be a relocation complete?

  2. If it is an update and not a re - install, the installation wizard would take care of the part of the database of the installation or should I point to the database?

  3. If it is an update and not a re - install, are my current configurations in Virtual Center will be affected? What is the best way to save the current config?

  1 at - it an "update option" in the Wizard installation or is it going to be a relocation complete?

  When you launch the installation program, you will be able to upgrade the VC, VI Client, VUM and converter (if installed)

  2. If it is an update and not a re - install, the installation wizard would take care of the part of the database of the installation or should I point to the database?

  The wizard will load the DB for VC and MUV (if installed) but you will need to enter the DSN and details of authentication, so make sure you know what.

  3. If it is an update and not a re - install, are my current configurations in Virtual Center will be affected? What is the best way to save the current config?

  Stop the service center virtual VMware, back up your DB using SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Express (free download) and if your VC server is a virtual machine, it captures instant. Restart the service center virtual VMware before proceeding with the upgrade.

  I hope this helps.
