1 - PRÉAMBULE

J'utilise 2 serveurs HP Proliant ML350 G5 pour mes tests et auto-formations.

J'ai installé ESXi 5.5 sur les deux mais je n'ai fait aucune mise à jour depuis l'installation.

Nous allons voir comment mettre ces serveurs Vmware à jour.

2 - CONNEXION
Utilisez votre propre outil pour vous connecter. Pour ma part c'est putty.

Ouvrir une session avec le couple utilisateur/password.

3 - VERSION ACTUELLE
Pour connaitre la version de votre ESXi, taper : vmware -v
Cela donne sur mes serveurs : VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820

4 - UPDATES DISPONIBLES
Pour connaitre les mises à jour disponibles :

esxcli software sources profile list -d

http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml | grep 5.5 |
grep standard

Cela donne sur mes serveurs :

Inc. PartnerSupported

5 - MODE MAINTENANCE
Nous allons mettre le serveur en mode maintenance par : vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter
Cela donne sur mes serveurs : 'vim.Task:haTask-ha-host-vim.HostSystem.enterMaintenanceMode-
199263914'

6 - MISE À JOUR
Lancer la mise à jour par :

esxcli software profile install -d

http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-
5.5.0-20141204001-standard --ok-to-remove

Voici la réponse de mes serveurs après un certain temps :

7 - SORTIE DU MODE MAINTENANCE

Lancer cette commande : vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit
Cela donne sur mes serveurs : 'vim.Task:haTask-ha-host-vim.HostSystem.exitMaintenanceMode-
384035609'

8 - REBOOT
Il est nécessaire de redémarrer le serveur. Je vous laisse le choix.

9 - NOUVELLE VERSION
Nous testons la version de nos serveurs : vmware -v
Cela donne : VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-2302651
Cela correspond à ESXi 5.5 Express Patch 52014-12-02 2302651

10 - CONCLUSION
Nos serveurs sont à la dernière version de ESXi.
