Running the
vihostupdate
command from
the vSphere
CLI fails.
In some cases, if you
attempt to use the
vihostupdate command
from the vSphere CLI
to install a patch/driver
offline bundles on an
ESXi 4.0 host without
an associated LUN, the
scratch directory on the
ESXi 4.0 host might not
be configured and the
installation fails. When
installation fails, the
following error message
may be displayed:
Install failed:
No Space left on
the device /
Insufficient
space available
on the host.
Patch/driver offline
bundles installation
using VMware Update
Manager is unaffected
by this issue.
You can either install the
patch/driver offline bundles
using VMware Update
Manager, or you can work
around the issue and
continue to use
vihostupdate if you
configure a scratch directory
on a vmfs volume
connected to the host (if
one is available). For more
information, see

ESXi 4.0
vSphere Client
displays invalid
values for
hardware
information of the
Double-Data-
Rate 3 (DDR3)
and Dual in-line
Memory Module
(DIMM).
vSphere Client displays
invalid values for
hardware information of
DDR3 and DIMMs
under the Hardware
Status tab.
This is a known issue and is
due to a limitation in the
specifications for the
SMBIOS or the common
information model (CIM).
