Patches for ESX 3.5 and 3i

Duncan Epping · Jan 18, 2008 ·

VMware just released 9 patches for ESX 3.5 and 1 for ESX 3i! You can download them here for 3.5 and here for 3i.

The patch for ESX 3i fixes the following:

  • ESX Server 3i hosts using more than two processor sockets cannot be licensed when using host-based licensing.
  • VMware Virtual Center does not properly record the number of processors on Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7200 series based hosts.
  • An issue with the BCM5709 firmware where ping requests sometimes fail after loading and unloading the bnx2 driver.
  • An issue with the bnx2 driver where a device using the bnx2 driver fails to connect to the a 100 Mbps network during the network autonegotiation period after system boot.

The patches for ESX 3.5 contain the following:

  • Update to the bnx2 Driver
  • Security Update to the Samba Package
  • Security Update to the util-linux Package
  • Security Update to the Perl Package
  • Security Update to the openssl Package
  • Daylight Saving Time Update
  • vmkernel-vmnix Update for the bnx2 Driver
  • Intel Xeon Processor 7200 Series Based Servers Licensing Issues
  • Multi-processor Licensing Issues, VMotion Assert Failure

I’m glad VMware released this fixes, now I can finally test the Update Manager for my ESX Hosts.
