After upgraded ESXi to 5.5, some VMs got following screenshot error when tried to edit the configuration.
“You cannot use the vSphere Client to edit the settings of virtual machines of version 10 or higher.
Use the vSphere Web Client to edit the settings of this virtual machine
“
The solution is to use vSphere Web client. The workaround for me is in following two methos:
1. Change virtualHW.version to 9 or lower
- In ESXi, Remote VM from Inventory
- SSH into ESXi
- cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/testvm
- VI the VM’s .VMX file
- Find the line that says ‘virtualHW.version’. Example : virtualHW.version = “10”
- Change the value to 8. Example : virtualHW.version = “9”
- Register this VM back into Inventory with command “vim-cmd solo/registervm /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/testvm/testvm.vmx”
2. Use VMware Workstation
In Workstation, in there VM’s manage menu, you can change VM’s Hardware Compatbility to Workstation 9.0 or lower, then upload it to ESXi as shown in this post step 7.
当您将ESX升级到5.5版本后,尝试使用vSphere客户端编辑虚拟机配置时可能会遇到错误提示。此问题的解决方案是使用vSphere Web客户端,并提供两种工作绕过方法:一是修改虚拟硬件版本为9或更低;二是通过在VMware Workstation中更改硬件兼容性并上传到ESXi。
