In my article http://blog.ganser.com/975 I described the update from the first version of vCenter Server Appliance 6 to the Update 1. The update needs to connect an ISO image and CLI commands to be installed.
In vCenter Server Appliance you could go the same way or update via Webinterface.
On January 22nd VMware Release Notes added a hint, what to do if the installer stuck at 70%. Read more at the end of my install steps.
Since 2013 I am using Citrix Netscaler both at work and for my homelab. At work we have Netscaler SDX which have much power and throughput. For my homelab I am using the free Netscaler VPX with a maximum throughput of 5Mbps. @MarcHuppert gave me a hint to checkout the LoadBalancer from KEMP technologies. In the free community version of VLM you get 20Mbps throughput which would be enough for homelabs and testing in production.
It was easy to install the appliance and the initial configuration was done in minutes. In the next days I will post how to add virtual services and content switching.
VMware acknowledged a known issue (KB2136854) within ESXi 6.0 and 6.0 U1. CBT looses the information of I/Os during snapshot consolidation. The main backup isn’t affected but all data written during the consolidation task are missed.
ALL CBT incremental backups are potentially affected.
VMware currently has no resolution.
Update 25.11.2015:
VMware released a patch for the CBT bug.
VMware ESXi 6.0, Patch ESXi600-201511401-BG: Updates esx-base (2137546)
With the latest update to vCSA 6.0 Update 1 I’ve got an undefined error when I use the WebClient (Update vCSA 6.0 to vCSA 6.0 Update 1). The VMware Support said that a certificate mismatch in “User Experience Program” caused that error, but could not solve it.
My first thought was, ok, then I install a new vCSA. But every one of you know that there are many things to consider and a lot of work to transfer all data, permissions, roles, rules etc… *not funny*
The VMware KB article (KB2091961) describes the Backup and Restore of the vPostgres Database for Windows and vCSA.
Here are the steps to backup a vPostgres database and export the roles and permissions from a vCSA.
