VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 1 Release Notes ESXi 5.0 Update 1 15 MAR 2012 Build 623860 Last updated: 8 OCT 2012 Check for additions and updates to these release notes. What's in the Release Notes These release notes cover the following topics: • • • • • • • • • • • What's New The following information describes some of the enhancements available in this release of VMware ESXi: • Support for new processors – ESXi 5.0 Update 1 supports new AMD and Intel Processors. See the for details.

• Support for additional guest operating systems – ESXi 5.0 Update 1 adds support for Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.2 and 10.7.3. • New or upgraded device drivers – ESXi 5.0 Update 1 adds support for Native Storage Drivers for Intel C600 series chipset and upgrades LSI MegaRAID SAS driver to version 5.34. Resolved Issues – In addition, this release delivers a number of bug fixes that have been documented in the section. Earlier Releases of ESXi 5.0 The earlier release of ESXi 5.0 Update 1 is ESXi 5.0. Features and known issues of ESXi 5.0 are described in the release notes available. Internationalization VMware vSphere 5.0 Update 1 is available in the following languages: • English • French • German • Japanese • Korean • Simplified Chinese vSphere Client Locale Forcing Mode With vSphere 5.0 Update 1, you can configure the VMware vSphere Client™ to provide the interface text in English even when the machine on which it is running is not English. You can set this configuration for the duration of a single session by supplying a command-line switch.

This configuration applies to the interface text and does not affect other locale-related settings such as date and time or numeric formatting. The following vSphere Client command causes the individual session to appear in English: vpxClient -locale en_US Compatibility and Installation ESXi, vCenter Server, and vSphere Client Version Compatibility The provides details about the compatibility of current and previous versions of VMware vSphere components, including ESXi, VMware vCenter Server, the vSphere Client, and optional VMware products. In addition, check this site for information about supported management and backup agents before installing ESXi or vCenter Server. The vSphere Web Client and the vSphere Client are packaged with the vCenter Server and modules ZIP file. You can install one or both clients from the VMware vCenter™ Installer wizard. ESXi, vCenter Server, and VDDK Compatibility Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) 5.0 adds support for ESXi 5.0 Update 1 and vCenter Server 5.0 Update 1 releases.

For more information about VDDK, see. Hardware Compatibility for ESXi To determine which processors, storage devices, SAN arrays, and I/O devices are compatible with vSphere 5.0 Update 1, use the ESXi 5.0 Update 1 information in the Upgrades and Installations for supported CPUs.

VSphere 5.0 Update 1 supports only CPUs that have LAHF and SAHF CPU instruction sets. During an installation or upgrade, the installer checks the compatibility of the host CPU with vSphere 5.0 Update 1. For CPU support, see the Guest Operating System Compatibility for ESXi To determine which guest operating systems are compatible with vSphere 5.0 Update 1, use the ESXi 5.0 Update 1 information in the Virtual Machine Compatibility for ESXi Virtual machines with virtual hardware versions 4.0 and later are supported with ESXi 5.0 Update 1.

Hardware version 3 is no longer supported. To use hardware version 3 virtual machines on ESXi 5.0 Update 1, upgrade virtual hardware. See the documentation. Installation Notes for This Release Read the documentation for step-by-step guidance on installing and configuring ESXi and vCenter Server. After successful installation, you must perform some licensing, networking, and security configuration.

For information about these configuration tasks, see the following guides in the vSphere documentation. • Documentation for licensing • Documentation for networking • Documentation for security and information on firewall ports Migrating Third-Party Solutions ESX/ESXi hosts might contain third-party software, such as Cisco Nexus 1000V VEMs or EMC PowerPath modules. The ESXi 5.0 architecture is changed from ESX/ESXi 4.x so that customized third-party software packages (VIBs) cannot be migrated when you upgrade from ESX/ESXi 4.x to ESXi 5.0 and later. When you upgrade a 4.x host with custom VIBs that are not in the upgrade ISO, you can proceed with the upgrade but will receive an error message listing the missing VIBs. To upgrade or migrate such hosts successfully, you must use Image Builder to create a custom ESXi ISO image that includes the missing VIBs. To upgrade without including the third-party software, use the ForceMigrate option or select the option to remove third-party software modules during the remediation process in vSphere Update Manager. For information about how to use Image Builder to make a custom ISO, see the documentation.

For information about upgrading with third-party customizations, see the and documentation. For information about upgrading with vSphere Update Manager, see the and documentation.

L3-routed NFS Storage Access vSphere 5.0 Update 1 supports L3 routed NFS storage access when you ensure that your environment meets the following conditions: • Use Cisco's Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) in IP Router. If you are using non-Cisco router, be sure to use Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) instead.

• Use Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize NFS L3 traffic on networks with limited bandwidths, or on networks that experience congestion. See your router company documentation for details. • Follow Routed NFS L3 best practices recommended by storage vendor. Contact your storage vendor for details. • Disable Network I/O Resource Management (NetIORM) • If you are planning to use systems with top-of-rack switches or switch-dependent I/O device partitioning, contact your system vendor for compatibility and support. In an L3 environment the following additional restrictions are applicable: • The environment does not support VMware Site Recovery Manager.

• The environment supports only NFS protocol. Do not use other storage protocols such as FCoE over the same physical network. • The NFS traffic in this environment does not support IPv6. • The NFS traffic in this environment can be routed only over a LAN. Other environments such as WAN are not supported. • The environment does not support Distributed Virtual Switch (DVS).

Upgrades for This Release For instructions about how to upgrade vCenter Server and ESXi hosts, see the documentation. Upgrading VMware Tools VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 1 contains the latest version of VMware Tools. VMware Tools is a suite of utilities that enhances the performance of the virtual machine's guest operating system. Refer to the for a list of issues resolved in this release of ESX related to VMware Tools. To determine an installed VMware Tools version, see (KB 1003947). ESX/ESXi Upgrades vSphere 5.0 Update 1 provides the following tools for upgrading ESX/ESXi hosts.

• vSphere Update Manager. If your site uses vCenter Server, use vSphere Update Manager to perform an orchestrated host upgrade or an orchestrated virtual machine upgrade from ESX/ESXi 4.0, 4.1, and ESXi 5.0.

See the instructions in the documentation, or for complete documentation about vSphere Update Manager, see the documentation. • Upgrade interactively using an ESXi installer ISO image on CD-ROM or DVD. You can run the ESXi 5.0 Update 1 installer from a CD-ROM or DVD drive to perform an interactive upgrade.

This method is appropriate for upgrading a small number of hosts. • Perform a scripted upgrade.

You can upgrade or migrate from ESXi/ESX 4.x hosts to ESXi 5.0 Update 1 by running an update script, which provides an efficient, unattended upgrade. Scripted upgrades also provide an efficient way to deploy multiple hosts. You can use a script to upgrade ESXi from a CD-ROM or DVD drive, or by PXE-booting the installer. • ESXCLI: You can update and apply patches to ESXi 5.x hosts using the esxcli command-line utility. You cannot use esxcli to upgrade ESX/ESXi 4.x hosts to ESXi 5.0 update1.
