Upgrading to ESXi 5.0 using Dell Customized VMware ESXi images

Page | 4

Introduction

VMware® vSphere™ 5 uses the power of virtualization to help transform data centers into

simplified cloud infrastructures, using ESXi 5.0, the latest in the series of thin virtualization

hypervisors being introduced by VMware. Together, Dell and VMware deliver efficient

virtual infrastructure solutions that are fast to deploy and easy to manage. Unlike prior versions,

vSphere 5 supports only the ESXi hypervisor architecture. In order to benefit from the unique

capabilities and features of vSphere 5 and ESXi 5, Dell recommends its customers to migrate existing

ESX/ESXi deployments to ESXi 5 and upgrade deployments of vSphere 4.x or older to vSphere 5.

This document talks about best practices to consider before migrating to VMware ESXi 5.0

from older ESX/ESXi versions. This includes migrating from VMware provided and Dell customized

VMware ESXi 4.x branches.

Audience and Scope

The intended audience for this whitepaper includes IT Administrators and channel partners

who plan to migrate from existing VMware ESX/ESXi servers to vSphere 5.0. By using Dell customized

images, the effort required to upgrade the datacenter may be reduced.
