Important when migrating to ESXi 5.5: “Do not upgrade the virtual hardware of your VMs!” (via: v-front.de)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/14
Thanks to the guys at v-front.de/2013/09/how-to-update-your-standalone-host-to.html
Do not upgrade the virtual hardware of your VMs!
If you try to upgrade the virtual hardware of your VMs to the new revision 10 after you have updated the host to ESXi 5.5 then the following warning will be displayed by the vSphere Client:
“If you upgrade the virtual hardware to this level, use the vSphere Web Client for managing these VMs.”
– Think twice here! Read the rest of this entry »

- Does ESXi support TRIM on SSDs and does it function? | FreeNAS Community.
- VMware Front Experience: FAQ: Using SSDs with ESXi.
- ESXi 5.1 + SSD’s = A headache in the making | Life of Stu.
- TinkerTry IT @ home | SSD Background Garbage Collection and VMware ESXi 5.
Oh: many people boot their ESXi server from USB as it gives them more flexibility:
