I can create a mailing list at freelists for you Ron and then make a separate DB for you for archives for just that list and make it searchable for you via cold fusion if you want. Contact me off list about it if you are interested. Jim Yeah I mean maybe even go with thinlists. We could tie it into VMguru.com Ron Oglesby Director of Technical Architecture RapidApp, Chicago Office: 312 372 7188 Mobile: 815 325 7618 email: roglesby@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Fraser Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2004 3:50 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: VMWare ESX v2.5 is released Citrix has their online forums which are sometimes useful but I usually find better solutions in the THIN archives. .If we can produce a Virtualization list that is anywhere even close to the great resource the THIN list is, then I would be delighted. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ron Oglesby Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2004 1:40 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: VMWare ESX v2.5 is released ThinFan's right (good job) Obviously a lot of VMware users out here. BTW, I don't mind the community but anyone on this list find it useful to have a list like this for VMware? I mean I just like the e-mail use better than the online forum. Ron Oglesby Director of Technical Architecture RapidApp, Chicago Office: 312 372 7188 Mobile: 815 325 7618 email: roglesby@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thin Fan Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 2:07 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: VMWare ESX v2.5 is released That's correct: Upgrading from a Tar Archive If you are using the downloaded tar archive, note the filename of the download file and make appropriate substitutions in the file and directory names shown below. Note: Using the tar archive, upgrading directly from releases prior to ESX 2.0 is not supported. Reboot into linux. /sbin/reboot Log in as root. Make a directory named download (or use another name of your choice.) This directory must be accessible to the service console on the server you want to upgrade. Save the file esx-2.5.0-11343-upgrade.tar.gz to this directory. Change to the download directory. Extract the contents of the file. tar zxf esx-2.5.0-11343-upgrade.tar.gz Change to the directory esx-2.5.0-10771-upgrade.tar. Run the upgrade script. ./upgrade.pl You see various messages about the upgrade process. When prompted, reboot the system. When the system reboots, you are finished upgrading VMware ESX Server.
