It is time to upgrade VMware environment, but I have an obsolete server that has a CPU compatibility problem with ESXI 7.0 version. After googling, some of IT geeks have posted some solutions, so I want to share my implementation.
This is my HP G7 server, above. Once vmware 7.0 is being installed, the process will be rejected. However, by adding “allowLegacyCPU=True” command during boot process, it will solve the problem. It is persistent, so I do not need to add it every time. You can check this website as well.
First of all, Vcenter should be upgraded before ESXI host.
It is straight forward to upgrade Vcenter. I have not faced with any problem regarding the compatibility. You can follow these link, below. If it is broken, jump into youtube channel.
Vcenter upgrade is broken into 2 parts. First part is to deployment of new Vcenter, while second part is about transferring its statistics and configurations.
However, I came across storage problem, as I selected thin provision installation to make less room, so I should point a specific location for the installation. I follow the same steps that are on this website, below. Check the disk usage and type a suitable partition path.
Finally, it is done.
I select reboot and fresh upgrade option. ESXI 6.7 is located first logical drive on rom configuration.
I prefer to use ILO management port of HP server for deployment using version 7.0 iso image, as shown below.
During its boot process, add the “allowLegacyCPU=True” command at the end of it. It will show only a notification instead of termination.
I can see how much data is being transferring from my computer to the server, below
A service should be checked because of this web browser error, below.
503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _port = 8309)
Using ESXTOP found VM that was throttling the MEM, killed it./etc/init.d/hostd STOP
/etc/init.d/vpxa stop
DCUI Restarted managment interface
/etc/init.d/hostd start
/etc/init.d/vpxa start
Access to esxi host via ssh, then restart a service that causes the problem.
Finally, I was able to see login section, above. I hope this is informative for you.
