Could you please please make a video on VMware EXSI patch rollback video, (basically how to role back a patch on EXSI after the update) love your stuff. thank you

[@sysadmintutorials]

Hi Amolhere, thanks for your comment, I don't think you can uninstall a single patch from esxi, but you can perform a rollback after patching, is this what you mean ?

[@_amolhere]

@@sysadmintutorials Yes David, what would be the rollback steps, when an EXSI patching fails (apart from restoring it from snapshot)

[@sysadmintutorials]

In that case you would need to be on the console of esxi host, make sure it's in maintenance mode and reboot it. During the reboot at the first splash screen you press shift + r, you'll then be prompted to perform the rollback. There's a KB article that walks through the steps here -> knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/316592/reverting-to-a-previous-version-of-esxi.html

@@sysadmintutorials Thanks David, that's really helpful

[@SyimirHalim]

since currently VMware support migrate to broadcom and we have to download these iso from broadcom, may i know which iso have to download? is it from product section or solution section?

[@sysadmintutorials]

Hi SyimirHalim, when you log into support.broadcom.com, on the left hand side you click on 'My Downloads' -> 'VMware vCenter Server'

But who is covering our license fees?

[@sysadmintutorials]

From what I know, the license changes favors the big players, because the new vcf suite includes almost everything. As opposed to before they had to pay extra for additional products based on a tiering system and points per vram. For this top tier they could actually see a reduction in price. I have seen a few articles floating around about court cases within the EU against Broadcom due to these license changes, so will be interesting to see what comes of that.

@@sysadmintutorials Thanks for an informed response man! I appreciate it I had not heard about the possible EU court actions but I could see that happen.
