*FIXED* – ESXi 6.0 and 6.0 U1 – CBT Bug creates inconsistent incremental VM backups

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.

Optimize Flash settings for vSphere Web Client

As VMware is putting all new function only in the vSphere Web Client we all ‘want’ to use it. Regarding Adobe Flash many people don’t like the Web Client because usability, reactions and speed are not the same as it is in the ‘real’ vSphere Client.

In Version 6 of VMware vSphere the usability jumps to a better level. Reactions on contextmenu and functions speeds up multiple.

VMware released a KB article (KB2109770) which fixes a problem where Adobe Flash reports “storage limit reached

Update vCSA 6.0 to vCSA 6.0 Update 1

Attention!

After installing Update 1 I’m getting the following error message when I log into the WebClient or click on the Customer Experience Improvement Program.
installvCSA60U1000006 installvCSA60U1000007

Migrations via WebClient also could not be startet because the wizards hangs at “choose network”

installvCSA60U1000008

I’ve opened a call – stay tuned :)

Update 06.10.2015

I solved the problem by myself. I’ve backup the database, roles and permissions from the vCSA, installed a new one and restored the database, roles and permissions to it. Now everything is working and I am happy…

I’ve documented the whole procedure in this blog post (Backup vCSA and restore data on new vCSA)

My first install of vCSA runs in the same error and I got the same message “Error occured while…”. I could resolve this by deny the internetaccess for the vCSA. After that the installation ends with the functional vCenter Server Appliance :)

Yesterday (10 September 2015) VMware released  vCenter Server 6.0. U1
Two month after the release of vCenter Server 6.0.0b the Update1 resolves issues in security, storage Web-/vSphere Client, VM management and HA/FT.

The full list of fixes can be found in the Release Notes for vCenter 6.0 Update 1.

Install vSphere Update Manager in addition to vCenter Server Appliance

After I’ve installed the vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) a few weeks ago the testing process is over and I’ve migrated our production vCenter to the new vCSA 6.0.0b. To be able to update and patch our ESXi hosts I want to install the vSphere Update Manager (vUM). Because there is no option to install the vUM on vCSA directly, you need a Windows host for installation.
