 upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? So, I ran the vihostupdate script, which claimed it completed successfully. And rebooted.
But when I connect using the 4.0 client, it still looks like it is running 4.0?

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? OK, got a monitor on it. Upgrade looks fine. But when it reboots it just sits at "loading VMWare Hypervisor" forever...
Atleast when I reboot it I get back to a working 4.0U2
Any ideas?

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? Any customizations to the default install? When it's sitting at Loading ... can you access the console or press ALT+f12 to see the vmkernel log?

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? I am pretty sure I have done no customizations.
Would the log be there after it has rolled back to 4.0U2? Or do I need to do the update again?
I can SSH to the box, where is the log file located?

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? The logs will be gone if you've rebooted. You ran also update hosts at the console with the esxupdate command.

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? OK, I will try to apply the update again and see if I can get to the log when it is hung.

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? Nope. Alt-f12 does nothing when it gets into that hung state.
And I have tried the esxupdate from the host itself. Same behavior.

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? The log file for esxupdate should be here - /var/log/vmware/esxupdate.log. Does it record anything?

Re: upgrade fro ESXi 4.0U2 -> 4.1 didn't work? That's the fun of ESX vs ESXi. Looks like they just dump the log data into /var/log/messages
