vCenter Server 5.1.0b released

Duncan Epping · Dec 21, 2012 ·

I was doing some testing with vCenter Server 5.1.0b this Wednesday and Thursday and just noticed it was released today. Those who were experiencing time-out issues with the web client or were unable to login to the web client using a non-standard UPN as an AD user will want to check this release out.

Full release notes can be found here. I did the upgrade using the upgrade repository iso: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.1.0.5300-947940-updaterepo.iso. Very useful if you do not have direct access to the internet from your vCenter Server Appliance. Steps are straight forward:

  1. Attach ISO to your vCenter Appliance
  2. Login to: https://<vcenter server ip>:5480
  3. Click the “Update” tab
  4. Click “Settings”
  5. Select “Use CDROM updates”
  6. Click “Status”
  7. Click “Check updates” under “Actions”
  8. Now it should say that a new version has been found and hit “Install updates” under “Actions”!

    Hi Duncan,

    Any plans for removing the vPostgres embedded DB limitation of 5 hosts/50 VMs? That would be terrific!!! 🙂

    Thanks!
    Sebas

    Odd I just recently registered for the 5.1 trail (3 days ago) and I cannot download the 5.1.0b version only 5.1.0a. It says I’m not entitled.

    And an integrated VMware Update Manager would be great!

      Integrated update manager is something that Oracle started incorporating in their recent versions of OVM but the product as a whole is far behind vmware.
