After upgrade my vsphere infrastructure to 5.5 i have problem of disconnect network after reboot:
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/498472
Now i have change on my vm windows the network adapter type from e1000 to vmxnet3
I have used this step :
– Save IP Address configuration
– Shutdown VM
– Copy Mac Address
– Remove E1000 network adapter
– Add vmxnet3 network adapter and set manual mac address
– Boot VM
– For windows 2008 and older set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
– Remove, if present, the old network adapter
– Configure ip address…
Last DAY i have needed upgrade my MDS9124 from 5.0.4(d) to 5.2.8(e).
When i started the upgrade i recaived this message:
disruptive upgrade
O my god!!!! is not possible.
I found the solution… i have resolved with reload the switch (this is siwtch is up from 5 years and the memory is 90% busy).
After reload the upgrade is Non-disruptive
I need upgrade switch mds9124 for compatibility with San Volume Controller 7.4
Now NX-OS on MDS switch is :
kickstart: version 5.0(4d)
system: version 5.0(4d)
Command for view NX-OS is “show ver”
After this i have checked free space on bootflash dir:
dir bootflash:
