Решил поставить Microsoft Server 2012 на гипервизор VMware ESXi 5.0 но увы, не получилось, оказалось что нужно апгрейдить ESXi до версии 5.1. Поэтому поводу нарыл в интернете пару советов. Посему оставляю для себя, чтобы легче было искать.
Итак, прежде всего нужно включить на хосте сервис SHH.
Configuration > Security Profile > Properties
Затем необходимо скачать ESXi 5.1 Offline Bundle (нужна регистрация)
Загружаем его на диск который подключен к хосту.
Заходим по SSH на хост. И выполняем на нем команду
esxcli software profile install -d <путь к файлу апгрейда.zip> -p ESXi-5.1.0-799733-standard
или если у вас стоят какие либо дополнительные пакеты установленные отдельно
esxcli software profile update -d <путь к файлу апгрейда.zip> -p ESXi-5.1.0-799733-standard
У меня это выглядело примерно вот так:
esxcli software profile install -d /vmfs/volumes/4ee7a42a-4112c648-1f96-e41f1390e39e/VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-799733-depot.zip -p ESXi-5.1.0-799733-standard
После некоторой паузы система выдаст, что:
