I’m having exactly the same problem. When I saw the post I updated to v4.1, that didn’t work, reinstalled with v4.0 U1, that doesn’t work. Tried adding an additional DVD sata, no luck with this either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I have ML115 G5 but cannot get DVDROM passthru to VM’s to work. Nott seen
by ESXi host. Tried ESXi4.0 and ESXi 4.1 to no avail. Ideas anyone?

Thanks

When I try to update my ESXi 4.0 Host with the Host update utility i obtain the next message: “An error has ocurred. Download failed”.

I haven’t proxy. My conection to Internet is direct.

Any ideas about it?

Thanks in advance

Thanks, I did find this utility after I had already incorrectly updated my USB drive using the ESXi 4.0 U1 install CD (during which I lost all of my settings).

When you are installing the vSphere client, the Host Update utility is a little misleading when it only mentions upgrading from 3.x to 4.0.

Good luck to anyone else upgrading.

If it’s ESXi – vSphere Host Update utility, installing it is an option when you install vSphere Client.

What is the best method to upgrade a USB based image of 4.0 to 4.0 U1?

Thanks.
