Hi all,
does anyone knows a tool, like a script, to check the compatibiltty of a thost to the vSphere requirements in terms of supported hardware and available space?
I have only found the Host Update Utiliy, but I need something lighter and faster, without puting the host in maintenancemode and without providing the ISO file.
Thanks
Angelo
Hello.
I haven't actually used it, but the Pre-Upgrade Checker Tool might be worth looking into.
As described in the release notes:
Pre-Upgrade Checker Tool — A standalone pre-upgrade checker tool is now available as part of the vCenter Server installation media that proactively checks ESX hosts for any potential issues that you might encounter while upgrading vCenter agents on these hosts as part of the vCenter Server upgrade process. You can run this tool independently prior to upgrading an existing vCenter Server instance. The tool can help identify any configuration, networking, disk space or other ESX host-related issues that could prevent ESX hosts from being managed by vCenter Server after a successful vCenter Server upgrade.
The Compatibility Guides are also an excellent reference.
Good Luck!
You can use Site Survey (but is not scripted):
