Just a heads up to all of you 4.1 has been released to the public.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Anything new and cool to check out?
Yeah the no more ESX was kind of interesting. Guess I will do the migration now to ESXi
Same here, will just move to ESXi now, that way I won't be caught using tools that rely on the service console when VMware makes the switch for good.Guess I will do the migration now to ESXi
Could someone explain this transition from ESX to ESXi. I thought ESXi was Vmware's free version on ESX? I am confused.

running two 4.1 servers in the lab now.. still waiting before updating production. the general consensus in #vmware is just say no to 4.1, mostly hp/driver/tools issues.
i havent seen any issues in the lab on our dell hardware yet so probably rolling it out in august.
The Service Console on ESX is a security vulnerability. ESXi has no Service Console VM so it is inherently more secure.
It's also a troubleshooting tool
Anyone experiencing severe mouse lag in ESXi 4.1 even after installing vmware tools in the guest? I could not stand it and reverted back to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 and have no issues.
Took the dive last night on my production boxes (Dell Poweredge 2950s) Expect for a jerky mouse in Server 2008 R2 everything seems to be fine

Is there no update for the from ESXi U2 to 4.1.
The update utility is telling me both of my servers are up to date.
I'm running the free version if it makes a difference
Yeah.. the host update utility apparently isn't being developed anymore. In order to update an esxi host without using VUM, use vihostupdate. Strange, I guess they're trying to make it more difficult to update "free" esxi hosts, but at the same time, there are people who actually license stadalone servers and this impacts them.

If you use google-fu there is quite a bit of help on downloading the compressed update, exctracting it, and applying the update with the vCLI.
