Videos flickering

Hello, Greetings, Can any expert here please tell me what is the hardware and Vmware settings needed on ESX 5.1 to be able to play videos on  windows servers 2008 and 2012R2. The videos are flickering currently.

Esxi upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0U3 HPE custom offline bundle VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-6921384-HPE-600.10.2.0.23-Feb2018-depot.zip requires VSAN?

Hello all,

 

I am trying to upgrade one of my HPDL 380 G7 servers from Esxi Ver 5.5 to Esxi ver 6.0U3 using the esxcli and the VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-6921384-HPE-600.10.2.0.23-Feb2018-depot.zip.

 

I SSH into box and run

 

#esxcli software vib update -d “/vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-6921384-HPE-600.10.2.0.23-Feb2018-depot.zip”

 

I receive the following about VSAN being required??

[DependencyError]

VIB VMware_bootbank_esx-base_6.0.0-3.79.6921384 requires vsan >= 6.0.0-3.79, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

VIB VMware_bootbank_esx-base_6.0.0-3.79.6921384 requires vsan << 6.0.0-3.80, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

Please refer to the log file for more details.

 

Can anyone provide any insight on how I can resolve this error and get my Dl380 G7 server to upgrade to esxi 6.0U3?

 

Much appreciated

HP Proliant 380G9 with H241 sas card

Hello

I have installed ESXi in HP Proliant 380G9, it has a Dual SAS port H241 controller

 

The problem that I have is that the OS only sees 1 port. I updated the firmware and drivers, and the issue is still there.

 

Any idea?
