Upgrade ESXI 5.1 à 5.5 en ligne de commande

Mettre à jour son système est une tâche importante. Nous le faisons tout naturellement sur des Os comme windows ou DEBIAN. Bizarrement quand on parle des ESX, il y a toujours une petite hésitation. Il est vrai que souvent la méthode présentée dans les tutoriaux se base sur un cd. Lorsque le serveur est dans un datacenter ou qu’il ne possède pas de lecteur cd-rom, l’action de mise à jour est rendue nettement plus compliqué.

Dans cet article je vais vous montrer comment faire tout cela en lignes de commandes sans avoir besoin de support pour effectuer l’opération. Temps d’indisponibilité environ 1 heure.

Nous allons commencer par lister les mises à jour disponibles et nous ferons un tri pour cibler la version 5.5 standard :

esxcli software sources profile list -d http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml | grep 5.5 | grep standard

ESXi-5.5.0-20140302001-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported

ESXi-5.5.0-20140604001-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported

Je vais prendre dans ma liste la version ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-standard .

Attention.
Avant de lancer la mise à jour, vérifiez bien sur le site de vmware que votre hardware est compatible avec la version choisie pour l’upgrade. Pensez aussi à vos backups.

Maintenant que j’ai la référence je stoppe proprement les Vm.
Puis on se met en mode maintenance :

vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

Quand cela est fait je peux lancer la commande de mise à jour systeme.

esxcli software profile install -d http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-standard –ok-to-remove

Il faut se montrer patient, malheureusement la commande n’a pas de retour de progression.

Quand tout est fini apparaît alors le rapport ci-dessous.

On met à jour son vsphere et on verifie que tout va bien et vous pouvez sortir du mode maintenance soit depuis le vsphere ou en ligne de commande.

vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit

Voilà votre esxi est maintenant à jour.

Personnellement je n’ai pas testé la double montée de version. Je n’ai essayé que de 5.1 à 5.5. N’hésitez pas à poster vos montés de versions et les retours bons ou mauvais!
