Hi,
I upgraded one host from esxi 5.0 to 5.5 without any problems. When I tried the next (identical H/W) host the upgrade failed at 24% from iso install with error 39 dir not empty. I moved local.tgz from altbootbank up one dir level. When I rebooted and tried to upgrade again it doesn't find the installation and says it will lose data in the existing partition. How do I remedy this and upgrade? What will data would I lose if it has to install fresh?
Thanks,
Nathan.
I'm thinking of just installing fresh on this host. What data would I lose? What happens to the vm's that are managed by this host? If they don't appear after the install, can I just browse the datastore on the SAN in vcenter and add the .vmx to inventory for this host?
Thanks,
Have you tried re-downloading and burning the ISO to a new CD? This sounds like something in the .iso is messed up.
