      <title>Unable to upgrade PowerEdge 2950-III from 5.1 U1 to 5.5 U2</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Upgrade-Install/Unable-to-upgrade-PowerEdge-2950-III-from-5-1-U1-to-5-5-U2/m-p/964710#M10290</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am upgrading our vSphere environment from 5.1 to 5.5. I upgraded vCenter first using appliance upgrade method. I upgraded Update Manager (in-place) to 5.5 and successfully upgraded a "similar" PowerEdge 2950-III using the customized Dell ESXi ISO imported in Update Manager.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A second PowerEdge 2950-III does not successfully upgrade. At 46% of the "Remediate entity" task fails with the event "The upgrade is not supported on the host hardware. The upgrade ISO image contains VIBs that failed the host hardware compatibility check."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The server's technical details are as follows:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;CPU: 2x Intel Xeon X5355&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;BIOS: v2.70&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;PERC 5&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;ISP2432 Fibre Channel (not in use, legacy)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;The only real difference is the CPU as well as the PERC. The server that upgraded successfully has an Intel Xeon X5460 and a PERC 6/i.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have also tried using the Dell 5.5 ISO without updates and it returns the same error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;According to the compatibility guide, it should be compatible: &lt;A href="http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=server&amp;amp;productid=3406&amp;amp;releaseid=271&amp;amp;deviceCategory=server&amp;amp;details=1&amp;amp;partner=23&amp;amp;releases=271&amp;amp;systemTypes=2&amp;amp;cpuSeries=20&amp;amp;page=1&amp;amp;display_interval=10&amp;amp;sortColumn=Partner&amp;amp;sortOrder=Asc" title="http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=server&amp;amp;productid=3406&amp;amp;releaseid=271&amp;amp;deviceCategory=server&amp;amp;details=1&amp;amp;partner=23&amp;amp;releases=271&amp;amp;systemTypes=2&amp;amp;cpuSeries=20&amp;amp;page=1&amp;amp;display_interval=10&amp;amp;sortColumn=Partner&amp;amp;sortOrder=Asc"&gt;VMware Compatibility Guide: System Search&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Hardware Status currently does have a warning status (predictive disk failure). I can't seem to find any docs to indicate that might prevent successful installation though. The compatibility guide has no entry for hardware health.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;try logging in to the host you are trying to remediate via SSH as a root and do a &lt;STRONG&gt;tail -f /var/log/esxupdate.log&lt;/STRONG&gt; - you should see on what exactly the installation has failed. If possible also please post the screenshot of the failure of the SSH session here so we can take a look.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the suggestion. I am in fact using the Dell customized ISO.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I didn't see anything in that log that indicated a problem. I don't know what I did differently now (I think I may have powered off a VM that had a local ISO connected) but it just upgraded successfully.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the suggestions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SA.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Haha yeah I guess it was a lock on the .iso file then that prevented the ESXi host to safely shut off &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt; Glad you're upgraded now, enjoy!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
