ESX 5.5 - How do you update VM settings of your VCenter VM?
We were hit last night by a fun problem... if your VCenter VM is at version 10 compatibility; how do you edit its settings?
After the upgrade to 5.5 our VCenter VM was a bit memory constrained, so the VM was shut down and I connected the vSphere client to the host in order to increase the memory, but discovered this isn't permitted on version 10 VMs. After a bit of head scratching I ended up removing the VM from the inventory, editing the vmx file by hand and re-attached the VM to the host...
But surely that's not the recommended method?? I can cope with changing a memory size via editing the vmx, but I wouldn't like to add an interface this way.
Regards,
