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.
文章详细介绍了在将ESX升级至5.5版本后,遇到无法使用vSphere客户端编辑虚拟机版本10或更高配置的问题。提供了解决方案:一是更改虚拟硬件版本为9或更低;二是使用VMware Workstation更改虚拟机兼容性为Workstation 9.0或更低,并上传至ESXi。同时分享了如何在社区中分享和点赞此解决方案。
