I have... 2 boxes. Along with VC 2.5 Update 1.

I haven't updated the plug-ins yet... The docs say to uninstall/reinstall the VMware Converter plug-in. I'm still testing though.

My 2 little HP D530's are begging for more RAM and a break. LOL.

Well that certainly was uneventfull. I did a manual upgrade of the license server, I was informed that "a an upgrade will be performed" but I don't see any change in the product or build number, copyright is still 2006. Just FYI.

I've got a question (I'm running ESX 3.0.1 and VC 2.0.1 patch...2 ):

VC Release notes say:
"Upgrading or Migrating to VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 1

This release also supports upgrading from VirtualCenter 1.4.1, VirtualCenter 2.0.2 (including Update 1, Update 2 and Update 3), or VirtualCenter 2.5 to VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 1. Review the detailed upgrade and migration instructions and guidelines that are provided in the Upgrade Guide."

The upgrade guide that is linked in the above paragraph has a table (4-1) on page 50 that says

versions of VirtualCenter that are supported for upgrade:
VMware VirtualCenter Version Upgrade Support to VirtualCenter 2.5
VirtualCenter 2.0.1 Yes
VirtualCenter 2.0.2 Yes

I'm not really sure if the guide I'm reading reflects VC 2.5 Update 1, thoughts?

We've got a little thing called Change Control that prohibits us from doing that.

Yeah, we may get there, but for now there are only 2 VI admins... and since the other guy is on vacation, I thought I would leave him a little present.

I figure if I have to support them, and they break, I can fix them... I don't panic since the main cluster can vmotion the VM's.. the host is offline, so what's the worst that can happen a rebuild? That takes all of 10 minutes including configuration, but so far so good.

well nothing official, just basing my guess on past history, they seem to release updates every 60 days or so.

Yeah I know -sigh- I just like to be up to date with the versions. Besides, someone has to be the first to test it... I know VM Ware has beta testers and QA testers, and I am sure they tested it before making it official.... but 2 weeks ago, they let the cat out of the bag early and tipped us all off, and the build numbers were the same, so these builds have been ready for 3 weeks...

I am confident they can fix issues by then....

Hello, everyone, thank you for (once again) pointing out this sort of problem on the Downloads site. I have logged a Critical ticket with the team that manages that area, and I also requested an investigation into possible process breakdowns. I referenced seven discussion threads in Communities, supporting my request for the broader investigation.

I apologize on behalf of VMware.

Thank you.
