I originally got this G5 server with 6.0,. then after many hours of attempts i was able to upgrade to 6.5.0 from a depot file using exscli command , the client was still working on 6.5, I think my mistake was jumping from 6.5.0 directly to 6.5.0u2 as the windows client was still working on 6.5 and you say it still works on 6.5.0U1 , I should have not jumped to U2. Currently have a windows 10 pro and a 2016 server running on 6.5.0U2 , Yes i wish i had $500 to spend. I dont.. I wish i had better servers, I dont. This is what I have for my personal lab, to learn on I was lucky to get a G5 and a MD1000 with a perc6e card and cables donated to me so I am grateful for that.
So it sounds like i need roll back or re-install to go back to 6.5.0 and update 1 if i want to be using the windows client. I got 10 and 2016 on 6.5u2 so I am going to say i can probably get them running on 6.5u1
Everyone I speak to says stay away from 7.x for now.. and besides it would not work on my hardware anyways. so yes im stuck on 6.0/6.5 but I am ok with that as a learning tool its all i need for now.
Someone suggested if i could find a OVF template of some vcenter server I could do it that way ..
but sounds like i will nee to roll it back.
