Installation Guide

64 VMware, Inc.

If the virtual machine is suspended, resume it in the earlier release, shut down the guest

operating system, then power off the virtual machine.

Commit or Discard Changes to Disks in Undoable Mode

If you plan to use existing virtual machines that have disks in undoable mode, commit

or discard any changes to the virtual disks before you upgrade.

Resume or power on the virtual machine in the earlier release, shut down the guest

operating system, power off the virtual machine and either commit or discard changes

to the disk when prompted.

Back Up Virtual Machines

As a precaution, back up the virtual machine files (including the .dsk and .vmx files) for

any existing virtual machines you plan to migrate to ESX Server 2.5.

New PCI Device Allocation Method

ESX Server 2.5 has a PCI device allocation system whereby all SCSI storage devices

controlled by the same driver must be:

! Allocated to the VMkernel for use by virtual machines

! Allocated to the service console

! Allocated to the VMkernel but shared with the service console

When you upgrade from ESX Server 1.5, the upgrade script converts any mixed

allocation systems as follows:

! If a device was previously allocated to the service console, the device is now shared

between the VMkernel and the service console.

! If a device was previously allocated to the VMkernel or shared with the service

console, the device allocation is not changed by the upgrade script.

You can allocate these devices when you first configure your server in the Startup

Profile screen of the System Configuration Wizard. For more information, see

“Installing Additional Hardware on the Server” on page 61.

OTE If you attempt to resume a virtual machine that was suspended under a different

VMware product or a different version of ESX Server, a message gives you the choice of

discarding or keeping the file that stores the suspended state. To recover the suspended

state, click Keep, and resume the virtual machine under the correct VMware product.

If you click Discard, you can power on normally, but the suspended state is lost.
