• vCenter upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 for the new machine, SRM and dvswitch

  Anyone know if it is possible to do a upgrade to vCenter from a machine under windows server 2008 on a new computer server 2012? The database is located on an external computer. All I can see in the upgrade doc is that there is a tool for migrating data with earlier versions, but not when moving to 5.5.

  Also - what implications are there if there's a dvswitch in the site?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I guess you run ESXi and vCenter 5.1?

  If it were me, I'd do the following:

  -Install a new instance of vCenter on a new Server R2 2012

  -Turn off the old server vCenter on 2008.

  -Save the remote SQL database vCenter.

  -Install a new instance of the Web, the inventory Service and SSO client. I remind vCenter to use the SQL remote database existing and chose to 'upgrade' when installing vCenter.

  Then you'd be in vCenter server 2012 R2 with a new facility and using your old database that will get upgraded. You will always retain so your dvSwitch information. I'm not sure of SRM, you probably need to reconfigure it to use the new vCenter Server (unless you use IP records or that you can easily return?).

  There are a few things to think about when you really do. Can you afford any downtime on vCenter? What of SRM and your RPO/RTO? The complexity is your configuration of SSO? Use you things like tags in web client (they would get lost in the reconstruction of the inventory service)? What confidence you are on the side of things RS? It is possible to save these configurations, but I'm not sure restore them on 5.5.

  The main thing to consider is the database really. Worst case, you can restore it and turn back on your old vCenter 2008.

  Happy to be told I'm wrong or answer your questions. If in doubt, contact VMware technical support and ask for help.

  Kind regards

• I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

  I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.

  Hello

  OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  An OEM license is not transferable.

  And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

  There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

  You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

  See you soon.

• Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade not activate when it is installed on the bare machine

  I have two laptops.

  The first belonged originally to my employer and originally had an OEM of Vista installation.  After that I bought them that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium via the upgrade Vista product. This laptop is dead in a final very recently.

  Also the second laptop was bought by my employer, but as bare metal (they were more able to transfer licenses of Windows). He had no OS installed. I was not able to install a copy of Vista on it (because the purchase of the laptop one did not include the disks of Vista). So that I could not transfer activation. Windows 7 upgrade-to-Vista install has worked well on the bare machine (after downloading the drivers and others) except for activation, where he could not say "you cannot use an upgrade installation."

  I guess, reading a bit on this topic here, I'm out of luck on the old Windows 7 license transfer (although I'd like to hear otherwise). Even if this is the case, I need to know what I need to follow to install a version "authentic". I don't want to build the machine from scratch once again, if I can avoid it - it was very tedious. I don't want to 'upgrade' to Windows 8.

  He would work to install a version of Windows 7 OEM on top of the existing, or must they be installed on a naked machine? Is there a different version that works if that won't? (Special bonus question: would such a facility, if it works, make the machine that is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?)

  Thanks for all your comments and responses.

• VCenter upgrade 2.5 - 4.1 and move to the new host

  Hi all. Sorry for my ignorance but I'm completely new to vmware. I picked up a client who curently ESX 3.5 and Vcenter 2.5 running on Server 2003. I want to move it to a new host of 2008 and updated server to Vcenter 4.1. I've read some suggestions that a clean install would be better vs an upgrade. I'm really looking for the fastest solution that will allow me to manage the virtual machine in the new host of 2008 with vCenter 4.1. Please give me a few pointers (possibly hand holding ) on this process. Thank you!

• Anytime W7 home prem upgrade to profess W7 cannot be rerun on the same machine to possibly fix the errors.

  Computer: HP Pavilion G/1070 us laptop. Original OS W7 64 Home Premium SP1

  15 Aug-2914, I had some freezes and problems of instability and learned on the web that a upgrade type installation could clean debris from its difficult use of several years.  I went on the website anytime upgrade Microsoft and bought an Anytime Upgrade for W7 64 SP1 PROFESSIONAL and installed from the Internet Anytime site. The key to the new system has been inserted automatically and a copy sent to me by email with the reception that I printed.

  The process went well and in the end my initial home screen was displayed. I checked email and tried a few other tasks, and everything seemed fine... I clicked stop, and (as I remember) a stream of file system names began to scroll to the bottom of the screen indicating that they were part of the upgrade process. I turned off the computer.

  This morning, I restarted Windows and experienced some of the friezes original and instability... I reasoned that if I restarted the install of Win 7 Premium and careful I might be able to check updates and fix the problem. This was not possible. The Windows Anytime Upgrade site rejected the upgrade key that I was copying the receipt of Email for my purchase (I tried at least 10 times). I could not find any contact information on the site and I noticed that my received email was sent from an unmonitored address.

• 'No operating system found' when you create the new machine virtual de DVD

  Hi, I had problems with the creation of a new machine virtual (Server 2008 R2).  After the initial creation, I turn on - then starts immediately to the network.  I tried to change the boot order in the BIOS and even removed the NIC via Virtual Machine properties.  I built VMs repeatedly using this method.  I use an ISO DVD that I know, I created works.  I select "connect to E:\. "that is my DVD drive on my laptop and have restarted (loses connection every time the DVD player).  I even changed the type of E1000 VMXNET3 network adapter - makes no difference.

  I feel good and truiy perplexed!

  Any ideas?

  You can connect the ISO remote only when the virtual machine is running.

  I suggest you set a delay (or get into the BIOS), in the property of the VM, press ESC during POST to enter the Boot Menu, select CD but wait to confirm.

  Connect the ISO and now start to begin.

• Questions of solution Center with 8500 wireless pro on the new machine, Windows 7 Pro

  Hi all

  I'm having a really hard time trying to get the software of Center of Solution for my departure Officejet 8500 Pro Wireless A909G. I am trying to install on a laptop Toshiba T130 new that came with Windows 7 Pro.

  I use the latest version of the software (full version) for Windows 7, downloaded from the website of HP (32-bit).

  The installation process works very well. Once completed, if I launch the centre of Solution without restarting the computer, it works fine.

  As soon as I restart the machine, that's right--I can't launch the centre of Solution more and I can't use the PRINTER. Solution Center told me that the installation failed.

  I also tried the following so far:

  -Windows patched with the latest updates-to - no chance.

  -read through the different posts of people with similar problems and tried some of the suggestions (so far, update of flash player and by applying the patch DOT4 seem to be most applicable to my situation)-no luck.

  -rebuild the machine (even if it's new!) - no luck.

  If there is another job out there dealing with this, I missed it. Feel free to point me in that direction... Thank you.

  Looks like I solved my problem (after the days of play)

  There is not a lot to it:

  • Completely uninstall the software and reboot
  • Open the folder that contains the complete software (mine was called OJP8500vA909_Full_13.exe) self-extracting exe
  • Right-click on the file, then select Properties from the menu
  • Click on the compatibility tab, located in the upper part
  • Downstairs, you'll see the option that says to run this program as an administrator. By default, it is not checked. I checked, click apply then OK.
  • Run the installer as usual through until the end.

  That's it - and it worked for me. I hope this helps.

• I upgraded to 4.0, but there not all the new features.

  Instead of a single button on the toolbar, there are still all the old buttons. And it doesn't have the new default home page.

  The new interface is the default on Windows Vista and Windows 7 only. To get it under Windows XP, you must hide the menu bar. Do, in the view menu, select Toolbars, then click on the entrance to the "Menu bar".

  If you need to access the menus, you can press Alt or F10 to display temporarily.

  If you have already changed the home page, it will use your existing home page. To return to the homepage by default in the Options, go to the large Panel window, then click on the button "Restore to Default".

• 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.
