Prepare ESX Server
On the ESX server that requires the updates to be applied, logon to each guest node
and shutdown the guest in the same manner as if it was a physical computer.
In the vSphere client, select the ESX server, confirm that the guest nodes are
shutdown, and place the ESX server into maintenance mode by right-clicking on the
ESX server and selecting Enter maintenance Mode.
Apply Upgrades
1. Start the VMware CLI using by selecting Start - All Programs - VMware -
VMware vSphere CLI - Command Prompt
2. Change directory to the bin folder typing:
cd bin
Since the guests in the ESX server need to be shutdown, ensure that this does
not interfere with production. Preferably, this should be done during a
maintenance stop.
Only install the pre-upgrade-from-ESX4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0-260247-release.zip
once. If second attempt to install is made, the subsequent upgrade-from-
ESX4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0-260247-release.zip will fail.
