Hi all, I have an ESXi 5.5 server running 2 VMs, the network adapters would appear to be not setup correctly. See configuration screen shot attached, the 2 VM's don't appear to be picking up an IP address or if 1x has an IP address the other one wont. Any advice?
Will changing the HW version cause any problems? Any advice on this?
Will changing the HW version to 8, and leaving it that way make it unstable? Any problem leaving it that way?

@NetRock I have shutdown the VM server, and as some have mentioned by controller is greyed out? Says Think Provision, I don't appear to have the option to increase the disk size. Is there a way round this? Under SCSI, I have the option to change the controller, or will this break the OS running on the VM?

Hi, 1) Ok I have the file open, there is several mentions of 10, do I need to change every single one or just the part which says virtual HW? config.version = "10"virtualHW.version = "10"pciBridge0 (2) Can I leave it like this? So I can edit it in future etc.
Hi, brilliant thank you so much. What software can I use to edit this vmx file? I have now downloaded it.
Ok i'll shutdown the old vm and create a new vm, but how do I attach the old virtual disks to the new vm?
Ok thanks, so  I create the new vm, will I then attach the old disks? How will this increase the drive capacity?

I have a VMware subscription. is the web client a separate download under vCenter? or do I need to download & install vCenter? If I backup the vm, create a new vm using my esxi 5.5 and restore the backup to the new vm, will the new vm have an older version than 10?

Hi all, I have a ESXi server with 3x VMs. The C drive on one of the VMs running Server 2003 R2 x64 is now too small, but I cannot edit it as it has hardware v10 on it? I get this error: "You cannot use the vsphere client to edit the settings of virtual machines of version 10 or higher" I was planning to backup the VM with Storagecraft or Arcserve D2D, delete the VM, create a new larger one and restore. What are your thoughts on this? Is there an easier way to do it? How do I build a vm without it putting hardware version 10 on it? My other VM is running v8 & I can edit that with no problem.
