Re: ESXi PF Exception 14 Yeah I've seen that too but knowing little about ESXi debugging, that meant less to me than a page fault error LOL. I did upgrade the tools after the upgrade, should I upgrade beforehand instead? Is there anything wrong with running the 5.1 tools on 5.0? I know you can download the tools ISO so it's certainly possible to upgrade first, I just never have done it that way (should I?). |

America | From what I've read, the tools can be run prior to upgrade, and are backwards compatible.
Getting ready to move from ESX 4.1 to ESXi 5.1 here.. |

kudos:5 | That's sorta what I did, 4.1 U1 to 5.0 to 5.1. Most VMs had been upgraded to hardware version 8 but some were still on 7 and even after 5.1 I tried version 9 too. Good news on the tools, at least this way I don't have to worry about stripping out all the tools and reinstalling with the 5.0 version (since I'm not 100% sure which ones upgraded and which ones didn't).
So far, downgrading to 5.0 U1 has solved all of my problems. I do want to see about moving to 5.1 though so I'll probably have to take a spare system and run some sandboxed tests. Fortunately my Precision 690 runs ESXi nicely and has the storage space needed  |
