"moved or copied?" po upgrade na vSphere 5.1

Po upgrade na VMware vSphere 5.1 sa mi objavila pri prvom štarte virtualizovaných počítačov dobre známa hláška: "This virtual machine might have been moved or copied. In order to configure certain management and networking features, VMware ESX needs to know if this virtual machine was moved or copied." Aké sú Vaše skúsenosti s upgrade na vSphere 5.1? Vypozoroval takéto správanie ešte niekto?

Troubleshooting VMware Update Manager 5

Opakovane sa mi objavuje problem pri pouziti externe instalovaneho VMware Update Managera 5, to znamena instalovaneho mimo VMware vCenter. Tu je  moja diskusia na VMware Communities:

Chyby vo VMware Update Manager 5 pri upgrade z ESXi 4.1 na 5.0 na IBM serveroch

VMware Update Manager mi opakovane hlasi chybove hlasky. Pri upgrade z ESXi 4.1 na ESXi 5 mi hlasi:
"Software or system configuration of host is incompatible. Check scan results for details."

VMware hlasi tuto hlasku specificky na IBM x3650 serveroch. Tu je informacia z VMware Release Notes:

Upgrade remediation from ESXi 4.x to ESXi 5.0 does not succeed on IBM x3650 M2 servers
Upgrade from ESXi 4.x to ESX 5.0 might fail on IBM x3650 M2 servers and the following error message appears: Software or system configuration of host is incompatible. Check scan results for details.
Workaround: Perform the upgrade to ESXi 5.0 by using a scripted upgrade or an interactive upgrade.
