• UCS environment vSphere 5.1 upgrade to vSphere 6 with Nexus 1000v

  Hi, I've faced trying to get the help of TAC and internet research on the way to upgrade to our UCS environment, and as a last thought resort, I would try a post on the forum.

  My environment is an environment of UCS chassis with double tracking, tissue of interconnections, years 1110 with pair HA of 1000v 5.1 running vsphere.  We have updated all our equipment (blades, series C and UCS Manager) for the supported versions of the firmware by CISCO for vSphere 6.

  We have even upgraded our Nexus 1000v 5.2 (1) SV3(1.5a) which is a support for vSphere version 6.

  To save us some treatment and cost of issuing permits and on our previous vcenter server performance was lacking and unreliable, I looked at the virtual migration on the vCenter 6 appliance.  There is nowhere where I can find information which advises on how to begin the process of upgrading VMWare on NGC when the 1000v is incorporated.  I would have thought that it is a virtual machine if you have all of your improved versions to support versions for 6 veil smooth.

  A response I got from TAC was that we had to move all of our VM on a standard switch to improve the vCenter, but given we are already on a supported the 1000v for vSphere version 6 that he left me confused, nor that I would get the opportunity to rework our environment being a hospital with this kind of downtime and outage windows for more than 200 machines.

  Can provide some tips, or anyone else has tried a similar upgrade path?

  Greetings.

  It seems that you have already upgraded your components N1k (are VEM upgraded to match?).

  Are your questions more info on how you upgrade/migration to a vcenter server to another?

  If you import your vcenter database to your new vcenter, it shouldn't have a lot of waste of time, as the VSM/VEM will always see the vcenter and N1k dVS.  If you change the vcenter server name/IP, but import the old vcenter DB, there are a few steps, you will need to ensure that the connection of VSM SVS corresponds to the new IP address in vcenter.

  If you try to create a new additional vcenter in parallel, then you will have problems of downtime as the name of port-profiles/network programming the guestVMs currently have will lose their 'support' info if you attempt to migrate, because you to NIC dVS standard or generic before the hosts for the new vcenter.

  If you are already on vcenter 6, I believe you can vmotion from one host to another and more profile vswitch/dVS/port used.

  Really need more detail on how to migrate from a vcenter for the VCA 6.0.

  Thank you

• vSphere licenses after upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0

  Hello!

  I just upgraded my ESXi from version 4.0 to 5.0.

  After this upgrade, it seems to run in evaluation Mode , even though it had the free license for vSphere Hypervisor before.

  Why did he changed evaluation Mode and how can I get this free license for my ESXi back?

  I tried to save it and did other things, but nothing has worked.

  Thanks for the help!

  Robert

  You cannot save the license key in VMware portal.

  All you need to do is enter the key in your ESXi host. Open a session using the vSphere Client, go to the Configuration tab and select functions under license. There you can enter the license key.

• vSphere 4.1 upgrade can't ssh?

  I just finished upgrading on-site ESX3.5 to 4.1 and I noticed that unless my users are a member of the ROOT group we cannot ssh in the COS.  I checked the file /etc/pam.d/su and the required auth training is in place to allow the wheel ssh access group, but it doesn't seem to work.

  In addition, anyone where I can find a compliance for vSphere script that will not automatically implement required changes?  I used to use Tripwire, but unfortunately that no longer works for vSphere.  :-(

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, yes it is. You can get that www.informit.com and the research for the book. There should also be a Kindle, Nook and other formats available drive.

• "Rolling upgrade" method is applicable to the single instance of database?

  Hello
  
  I did a google search, but all the documents I found refer to the deployment of upgrade for JRC and DG Environment. Rolling upgrade can be used to upgrade, say Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.5? Or in general, the method "rolling upgrade" applicable to database specific environments? If Yes, could someone post a URL? I want to learn this in order to minimize downtime for upgrades of database.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I KNOW, rolling upgrade applies only to CARS or DG scenarios. It does not apply to single autonomous databases.

• 9.3.5 upgrade method... Settings or ITunes?

  I'll be less likely to face problems to upgrade using iTunes on my computer (rather than through 'Settings' on my iPad2), or are there no advantage?  I'm upgrading to 9.3.1 to 9.3.5.

  Assuming that you have a recent version of iTunes on your computer, and assuming that the iPad has used this version of iTunes to connect (sync) in the past, iTunes would be the safest way to update.

  The reason is that iTunes on the computer would require less storage space on your iPad to perform the update.

  Hi softfun,

  It is not necessary to first uninstall Lightroom 3.

  You can switch to Lightroom 6 > install and update your catalog and once you're used to it, you can uninstall Lightroom 3 to free up space on your system.

• Upgrade method doubts

  Hi all
  
  I have Oracle 10.2.0.3 in windows and Unix.
  In windows, there are 2 databases and Unix 5.
  
  now, I want to spend this oracle to 10.2.0.4. I have some doubts to clear help me please...
  
  Now in 10.2.0.3 way at oracle, I'll install the 10.2.0.4 patch set.
  
  MOS notes, stated post installation patch that I must upgrade the database using DBUA or manual using the upgrade script.
  Before using the upgrade script, it must set the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME.
  
  My question is, this may be stupid, but please delete the question, I want to be clear on that.
  
  1. as I have 5 databases in my system, if I need to upgrade after installation of the patch. I need to select a database in DBUA upgrade after completing the upgrade of the database, so I select the second database separately again to upgrade. Am I wrong?
  
  2. If I do it manually, I can spend my five databases one by one only by setting the ORACLE_SID and script execution, I'm good or bad?
  
  3. After installing the patch, if I update a database using DBUA/manual and leave the rest. What will happen to these database will work or not?
  
  4. If I need to do a migration and up gradation of a database using a cold backup, how to do?
  (a). take a cold backup of the DB from Oracle 102.0.3, make a backup of the control file and pfile.
  (b). Oracle again install something like 11 GR 2
  (c) using the previous DB pfile file, we must create a pfile editing GR 11, 2 locations.
  (d). Den must export the home path and export the new DB name to 11.2 and beginning that implementation level, run the scripts.
  (e) after finished the upgrade, using the control from the previous database file, create NEW CONTROLFILE.
  (f) after the controlfile creation. DB ready.
  
  Is the above steps for the Migration of Oracle and up gradtion is correct or incorrect.
  
  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  Thanks so much for your clear explanation, if we opt for the option YES, datafiles will be moved to the new location and will be upgraded. If we do not choose, the data files will be updated but not moved. So we hope my imposed is correct.

  YES

  Can you tell me, in the manual upgrade, we begin with STARTUP UPGRADE and wil check for invalid objects, the time zone and then upgrade script. In the manual process, the data files are just improved, but they are not moved. Am I right or wrong?

  YES, you are right. It will not move.

  Thank you

• Question about VMware Tools when upgrading of vSphere 5.1 to 5.5

  We are the vSphere upgrade 5.1 to 5.5. We have still a few virtual machines with obsolete tools VMware vSphere 4.  There problems upgrade to vSphere 5.5 and then upgrade VMware Tools on those virtual machines to the version 5.5?  Or should we upgrade VMware Tools version 5.1 first before doing the upgrade to vSphere 5.5? We need plan restarting downtime when upgrading to VMware Tools on those virtual machines and would rather not upgrade VMware Tools twice and planning two stops

  There is no problem, as vSphere ESXi 5.5 supports the VM running older versions of VMware Tools.

  This blog post explain this more in detail: is a vSphere VMware Tools upgrade required during the upgrade? VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Upgrade to vSphere 4

  Hello

  Currently, we have 4 hosts of ESX 3.5 and a single Virtual Center Server the Update Manager aswell runing. The VC server is also the license server.

  I wanted to install Vsphere 4 and upgrade the virtual machine.

  I was going to migrate all virtual machines to a host ESX and format and install 4 Vpshere on it. Once the VC server is ready, I went to migrate the virtual machine here and upgrade the hardware. Format host ESX 3.5 next...

  Can someone tell me please the order in which I should do this? as the old environment will be runnning the long side whislt the upgrade is in progress.

  Thank you
