Dear VNX

I went to site to try again .

I didn't found any other partition any other datastore , removed the DVD physically .

try with the CD booting ( external DVD ) no benefit .

 

I installed vcenter 5.5 in virtual machine in my lab , join the esxi4 the vcenter , trying to upgrade using vmware update manager begin and continues till 25% and failed by looking to the console of the physical machine found that

it stopped due to the same error .

and didn't rollback to the version 4 and i lost my work .

i tried to repair the system and successfully back without the VMs . i added them to the inventory as they are there in the datastore .

 

opened case with vmware and they told me the following :

There is an issue migrating the VMFS3 to VMFS5 while the upgrade, please follow this action plan :

-Create the 5.5 Cluster

-Connect the ESX 4 hosts to this cluster

-Migrate all VMs to the 5.5 Hosts

-Disconnect these 4.0 hosts from the cluster

-Fresh install the 4.0 hosts with the 5.5 version.


this made me upset . because this is not i expected from vmware  and I can make that from beginning .



I still want to discuss this issue to get professional solution
