VMware VUM: Still haven’t found what I’m looking for…

The article was written sometime before the recent release of vSphere4.1 which has introduce a new set of possible gotchas (32-bit DSN for VUM on a 64-bit OS, Incompatible with View 4.0x, and the 8-character password issue…)…

One Response to “VMware VUM: Still haven’t found what I’m looking for…”

  1. Casey Feskens Says:

    While it’s unfortunate, it shouldn’t be too surprising that ESX updates aren’t always immediately compatible with dependent products.

    View depends heavily on VMware Tools, and it shouldn’t be too much of a shocker that an update to ESX doesn’t work without an update to View.

    VMware *should* list the incompatibility in the release notes, however.
