VMware: Porovnání verzí

Aktuální verze z 10. 4. 2020, 10:57

Nové virtuální PC

Nový stroj

Uživatelská instalace:

Po zadání nového názvu stroje jsme vyzváni k výběru verze VM. U vrzí 9 a výše je poznámka:

If you use this client to create a VM with this version, the VM will not have the new features and
controllers in this hardware version. If you want this VM to have the full hardware features of
this version, use the vSphere Web Client to create it.

To znamená:

Pokud používáte tohoto klienta k vytvoření VM s touto verzí, VM nebude mít nové funkce a řadiče v této hardwarové verzi. Pokud chcete, aby tento modul VM měl všechny hardwarové funkce této verze, vytvořte jej pomocí webového klienta vSphere

Nový disk

Instalace ovladačů

Linux

Přes konzolu VMeare připojíme CD disk "Connect to ISO image on datastore" kde následně nalistujeme "Datastores / vmimages / tools-isoimages / linux.iso". Následně připojíme disk příkazem mount poté se přesuneme do adresáře z ovladači a spustíme podle verze linuxu (32, nebo 64 bit).

Distribuce Debian 9 v základu neobsahuje příkaz ifconfig. Následně nelze WMtools nainstalovat. To ale napravíme doinstalováním balíčku net-tools.

apt install net-tools

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt 
cd /mnt
ls -l
./vmware-tools-upgrader-..

Jiná plná verze

Zatím neověřený postup, vycházející z originální instalace (nutno namapovat tools):

apt-get install binutils cpp gcc make psmisc linux-headers-$(uname -r)
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
tar -C /tmp -zxvf /mnt/VMwareTools-x.x.x-x.tar.gz
umount /mnt
/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl

Instalace open vm tools

Hotoví balíček je vhodný do starších verzí Debiamu. Do souboru /etc/apt/sources.list přidat cestu:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib

Následně spustit příkazy:

apt-get update
apt-get install open-vm-tools

Adresáře

V případě potřeby smazat předchozí instalaci, je potřeba smazat adresáře:

/etc/vmware-tools
/usr/lib/vmware-tools
/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools
/tmp/vmwate-*

a také soubory:

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/vmware-tools-libraries.conf
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-vmware-scsi-udev.rules

Upgrade ESXI 6.0.0

1. Vypnutí firewallu aby bylo možné stažení aktualizace:

esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient

2. Zkontrolujeme dostupné profily image ESXi:

esxcli software sources profile list -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

Vzhledem k tomu, že se ve výpisu objevují o další verze, je vhodné použít | grep ESXi-6.5.0-202.*-standard

3. Stažení instalace příslušné aktualizace (jedná se o jednotlivé verze, proto provádět postupně a vždy restartovat stroj). Po potvrzení probíhá aktualizace která ale nic během průběhu na obrazovce nezobrazuje. Pak záleží na rychlosti připojení...
