Updating ESXi 4.1
I recently went through the exercise of upgrading my standalone VMware ESXi 4.1 server. The process is pretty easy. Grab the vSphere CLI from: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/ Grab the relevant patches. Make sure you select the correct version of ESX/ESXi. I facepalmed when I realized I was trying to update using the ESX (not ESXi) packages and…

For starters, I couldn’t use the built-in importer…
