VMWARE 6.0 UPGRADE FAILS UPDATE

VMWARE 6.0 UPGRADE FAILS ISO

VCenter Server Appliance 6.0 Update 2 | 15 MARCH 2016 | ISO Build 3634788 Sadly I left out the big plastic baffle from the case when I reassembled – not a huge problem, but I need to schedule another outage to reinstall it.VCenter Server 6.0 Update 2 | 15 MARCH 2016 | ISO Build 3634788 “Memory Optimized (Independent Channel) Mode … supports SDDC only for memory modules that use x4 device width and does not impose any specific slot population requirements”Ī bit of discussion led me to believe that I should just place them closes to the CPU and with x4 DIMMs it didn’t make a lot of difference. “Advanced ECC mode extends SDDC from x4 DRAM based DIMMs to both x4 and x8 DRAMs” “Populate all sockets with white release tabs first and then black.” The information panel on the case was helpful but not conclusive. Naturally I want to put two of my DIMMs into each bank of slots, but where? There are two used in each out of six. The machine is nicely laid out, with easy access to the DIMMs. I’d heard of another benefit that I am now going to realise: I don’t have to boot my Windows VM to run vSphere Client any more! I might still for some things, because web clients sometimes suck, but not having to is great. ESXi boots, complains about missing HDDs, and works just fine. The upgrade was simple as can be, and for interest I timed it: 8 minutes of processing time.

Dammit, the upgrade failed because there’s a CommunitySupported VIB installed – ghettoVCB! Boot up, remove it: esxi # esxcli software vib remove -vibname=ghettoVCB Shutdown ESXi, physically removed all HDDs and network cable from NAS – for paranoia’s sake, boot up with the CD I previously burned. I put ESXi in maintenance mode so it wouldn’t automatically boot VMs on next boot.

VMWARE 6.0 UPGRADE FAILS INSTALL

24 hours later, I was ready to upgrade ESXi and install more RAM. I didn’t want to manage changes in the event of failure, so I shutdown all VMs before running the actual backup. A successful test backup took 24 hours to our NAS – slow, but that’s okay in this case. Some VMs had old unused snapshots, and some were in an old format, probably from when they were copied across from previous versions of ESXi.

I was stumped finding the link for a while, but eventually found I had to ‘change OS’ from Windows to VMWare, and found it under Enterprise Solutions.

VMWARE 6.0 UPGRADE FAILS DRIVERS

We could pare down our use on some machines, but knowing there is an upgrade available and some DIMMs in the cupboard, I’m upgrading.ĭell recommend their customised version of VMWare, so I downloaded that through the Drivers & Downloads part of their website. Three years on, and we have bumped up against that limit, our VMs exhausting available supply. We quickly discovered that VMWare ESXi 5.1 has a RAM limit of 32GB, so we removed the other 32GB and sailed on. VMWare came installed on a dual SD module, and this came in handy later. In 2013, the fine folks at Interconnekt sold us a fine Dell PowerEdge T420 server to run VMWare and a bunch of virtual machines.
