On my Fedora 9 x86_64 machine the upgrade worked like a charme

* Suspend of all VMs

• service vmware stop
• killall on the last running provesses
• Upgrade via local yum-repo (rpm)
• vmware-config.pl
• Waking up the vms and updating the vmware-tools in the guests

BTW: Now it seems that after "service vmware stop" there are no longer running processes, this was on my machine a beta-problem

As above I shut my vm's down, ran the installer and all was well. (using debian etch , x86_64 version, tarball install)

The only thing to note was that the previous version of Virtual Infrastructure Client that I used to use to manage my vmware-server no longer works properly with RC1. (most notable being that the Configuration tab was missing from the host entry)

I had to update to the new version (version 2.5.0 build 101565) which is included in the distro (my tarball install placed it in /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/docroot/client/VMware-viclient.exe). After that things are looking good.

I admit I havent tried the web UI on RC1 but the version that came with Beta I found to be slow and unstable hence I switched to the fat client version. I havent had any issues using VIC with either Beta or RC1, apart from having to upgrade as detailed above.

Most of them I can, but for some reason there were a couple that VIC refused to edit. I havent been able to figure out what the difference is. I found the workaround was to use the Web UI to edit them, then save them with no changes and VIC can be used again.
