VMware ESXiのアップデート(5.1→5.5)

1. アップデートパッケージをダウンロード
2. VMware vSphere Clientのアップデート(色々と制約あり)
3. ESXiのアップデート

1. アップデートパッケージをダウンロード
無償で作成できるVMwareアカウントでログインして、下記からダウンロード
https://my.vmware.com/jp/group/vmware/info?slug=datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vsphere/5_5

ダウンロードするファイルは
・ESXi Offline Bundle(VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-depot.zip)
・VMware vSphere Client(VMware-viclient-all-5.5.0-1281650.exe)

2. VMware vSphere Clientのアップデート(色々と制約あり)
PCでVMware-viclient-all-5.5.0-1281650.exeを実行、インストールします。
なお、WindowsXPだと、下記のような警告がでます。

vSphere client5.5 in WindowsXP

また、5.5から管理はVMware vSphere ClientではなくWeb Clientへ明確に移行し始めたっぽいです。

VMware vSphere Client5.5の起動

3. ESXiのアップデート
ESXiサーバへVMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-depot.zipをSCP転送、SSH接続した後
以下のコマンドを実行します。

# esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/Datastore/VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-depot.zip

VMware Web ClientはvCenter Serverが必須であり、vCenter Serverは有償・・・・。
VMware Web Client無しだと仮想マシンのバージョンが8止まりだし。10にはできますが、設定の変更ができなくなります。
