Vvol support sdrs in vmware vsphere 6.5 upgrade#

Be sure to upgrade only to VMX-11 at this time. From there be sure to have the UM appliance running on 1 of those two ESXi builds and run the upgrades from there. If you have vCenter 6.5 and Usage Meter 3.5, you will also need at least one ESXi 5.5 or 6.0 host in that environment to support Usage Meter. This will also cause another level of 'unsupported'. Also be careful not to upgrade to VMX-13. Upgrading a virtual machine to the latest hardware version (multiple versions) (1010675) | VMware KB Again, please do not overlook this step!!!! I for one am very concerned that missing the VMware tools piece of this solution will start to cause UM corruption.

That said, a lot has changed between the initial DEV of ESX 3 (VMX 4) and ESXi 6.5 (VMX-13). Currently, the appliance is built with VMX 4, per the article, this is the oldest version on that list and developed for ESX 3. As a former member of the VMware SysOps team, I cannot state enough to be sure not to miss the VMware tools step. I have linked a public facing KB below that documents the steps to upgrade the VMX. Missing this step has been known to cause issues. First off, whenever you upgrade the Virtual Machine hardware you need to first upgrade the VMware tools version. However, please be very careful as there are two issues that can cause problems. First off, what is said here is true, upgrading the virtual machine hardware (VMX) will get around this. I need to express some cautious concern here. Do not move UM to an ESXi 6.5 host at this timeДЈ) 'I think, I got this fixed.Same environment, vcsa 6.5 and usage meter 3.5 Upgraded hardware to 6.5 - although the VM shows an exclamation mark for the network adapter, it works.' For now, UM 3.5 will have to run on an ESXi 5.5 or 6.0 host. One of those should have an updated VMX version to get around this. That said, there are a few fixes currently in the works. Obviously, the latest and greatest also needs to be supported. The reason why VMX-4 needs to stick around is because there are many service providers running instances that require VMX-4 operability. As suggested in the thread, this is because of VMX 4 being used. Unfortunately, UM 3.5 does not currently support vSphere 6.5. Please use the web client to deploy this OVAДў) 'All that the support said when we contacted them in december was that UM 3.5 didn't support vSphere 6.5' If the Web Client is used you will not receive the warning. However, all product documentation should be referencing the vCenter Web Client, and Web Client only. If using the thick client, you can continue to click through these and you will eventually be able to complete. This has been occurring for a few versions now and is more of an alert than an error. First off, you will get the 'Unsupported Guest OS' or 'Unknown Linux OS' when deploying with the vSphere Thick Client as suggested in the product instructions. I first fails with an 'Unsupported Guest OS' because it's a version 4 VM'. There are a couple different issues in play and I want to separate each and provide some direction around them.ДЎ) 'The OVA can't be deployed on vSphere 6.5. I work for the GSS team supporting Usage Meter and I wanted to chime in here.
