• vSphere Host Update Utility & ESXi 4.0 Upgrade

  I'm trying to upgrade a system ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4.0.  I use the guide at:

  http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/ESXi40_upgrade_without_virtualcenter.php

  When I lauch the vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0, I have a popup that informed me it must download the patches to enable the fix on a functional level.  Problem is the patches are not download or install.  Did someone knows a way I can manually download the patch and install it?  Here is what says the update utility:

  vSphere Host Update Utility to download the patches from the VMware fix repository to enable the functionality of patch.  You still want to connect to the VMware patch repository?

  Yes or no

  For the upgrade process, you need the full ZIP file for ESXi 4.0.

  Patching is the next step, but the fist you need to do the upgrade step.

• vSphere Host Update Utility - ERROR: not enough space on the boot partition

  I get the following error when I run the host update utility

  ERROR: Not enough space on the boot partition

  The boot partition doesn't have enough space to store initrd.img.

  Expected free space (MB): 50, found: 44

• vSphere Host Update Utility Scan Failed

  Hello world

  I recently updated my Dell PE2950iii ESXi 3.5 Embedded 4.0. After the upgrade, I was unable to patch the host after scanning and download the 2 patches available with success. So I decided (after reading the post of the user) to perform the repair on the CD of ESXi 4 option. The repair went through fine without any visible error. Now that I tried to scan and patch my host, I get an error that referred me to a viu - 3 log file. I'm not not to clear on how to read but I managed to find this piece of info that may be useful to determine what is at fault in my setup.

• VMware Host Update Utility 4.1 VI does not settle with the VI Client?

  I installed the VI Client 4.1 and noticed that it is not seeking to install the VI host update utility.  After installation, it is not installed.  I don't see a separate download for VI host updated.  Does anyone know how to install it now?  Thank you.

  As far as I can tell the vSphere Host Update Utility has been abandoned and you must use the vihostupdate through the CLI.  Good luck, thank you.

• VMware host update utility

  OLA a todos,

  Estou com uma sober put an instalacao do Vmware Host Update Utility.

  Preciso fazer umas atualizacoes do vou fazer esxi e esta logging using. MAS nao estou access instalar a mesma.

  JA em several locations li na internet Quebec an instalacao e feita pelo proprio Vmware Vsphere Client, marcando o box don't Host Update Utility during a delivery. MAS ja desinstalei e instalei again meu Client several vezes e ele nao cylindrical a bendita pra easier o Host Update Utility option.

  
  Li also HA um pacote separado Vmware Host Update Utility instalacao. MAS nao could find!

  Alguem sabe algo a respeito?

  Abraço.

  
  Sena.

  I don't know the reason why VMware has dropped support for the 'Host Update Utility'. For a more recent version, you actually have to use command line tools, unless you have "Update Manager" available.

  See for example:

• Host Update Utility always useful to patch 4.1?

  So, apparently, that the host update utility provided with vSphere 4.0 client does not support upgrading a version 4.0.x of ESXi 4.1 and you must do so by vCLI for those of us who do not have vCenter. Fine.

  While it is a regular update patches? Currently, the host update utility seems to grind through a sweep of the host of a host 4.1 for a long time then says it is up to date, but it is not clear if this is because there is no update 4.1 out again, or he is simply lying because he made the version 4.0 updates checks only. If she is not really checked 4.1 updates, how users free regular ESXi without vCenter supposed to update and maintain their hosts? Is VMware we expected trolling through the downloads pages periodically to check if there is a new version of build manually update or expect that you subscribe to the explosion of e-mail complete VMware just so that we can update notifications?

  I posted a query similar to a return of the week, and although I've seen some answers, they only suggested that "no" was the answer.

  It is very frustrating - Update Manager is a pain in the butt and "cancel the job, restart your server, put in maintenance mode manually and try again", advice that I usually get, somewhat defeats all ideals "automatically patch your environment" Update Manager pushes.

  You can never vihostupdater.pl command-line if you were aware. Its a real pain.

• ESXi 3.5 Update 4 2 esxi: Error Host Update Utility

  Hello world

  I have a free esxi 3.5 server running that I want to spend to esxi 4 u2 (recorded vsphere foundation).

  I want to use the host update utility to perform this task, but I get the folowwing error when the package is checked:

  The upgrade package validation failed, α upgrade metadata reading failure; the incorrect input string format.

  I use the utility version 4.0.0 build 258672 with the updated package upgrade - to - esxi3.5 - 4.0_update02 - 261974.zip.

  I downloaded several times in the event of corruption of file without success.

  Any help welcome!

  Check this post http://communities.vmware.com/thread/265635 . It could be the same problem with the language settings.

  Kind regards.

• Error with Host Update Utility when I scan for patches

  Hello

  I try to use Host Update Utility to update my server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.0 Update 1, but I get the following error when I press the button "Scan For Patches. The error is "an error has occurred. Download failed ". So, I started looking in communities, if someone had the same error and I think that the problem is due to I install my VI Client and Host Update Utility in Windows XP SPANISH version. Could be the language that I use in my OS (Spanish) the cause of this problem?

  I tell you that I do not use any kind of proxies. I am in a private network and between internet and I have only a router. I can navigate anywhere on the internet without any problem and I have no restrictions on what are the ports that I use. The router is reserved for NATS.

  The other issue is . Displaying the HUU configuration file (settings.config) I see the URL for the variable "RemoteDepot" is "https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/index.xml". "" This URL is correct or VMware has changed it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Warlock.

  I have the same problem. Host Update Utility does not work with windows XP Spanish, you must install Windows Vista Spanish Profesional.

  I think that vmware cares not Spaniards.

• Help: update/fixes Essentials, no SAN no host Update Util

  As very probably know VMware in their infinite wisdom have discontinued support and development of Host Update Utility in v4.1.  I currently manage an Essentials environment with DAS only (without SAN), and VCenter installed as a virtual machine on a host.  In the past, I have always used the Util to update host patch and update of my hosts.  Instead of this change, it seems that the only options are manually fixes using vihostupdate or install or use Update Manager.  The latter is useless for us since we do not have a HOLY and cannot update the host who would be Manager update as a virtual machine (no both VMotion etc).  In the past, I would just run host Util update, do check it out for the latest patches of VMware, and then run the patch install - he took care to locate the patches and apply them in the correct order.  What is the best game plan now that this util is gone?  Where can you easily check the patch repository, download the correct patches and apply them in the correct order?  Maybe I missed something, but would appreciate anyone entry on the correction of strategies in this scenario.

  Yes, you can apply all the patches together and atlast you can go to restart ESXi
