I am updating from ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.1 using a local CD.
In the first attempt I got the option to upgrade, but at 24% got: [Error 39] Directory not empty ....state.12992. follow these instructions to fixed it: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007163.
Now after rebooting and boot from 5.1 CD, there is no option to upgrade:
I just get these two options:
Install ESXi, preserve VMFS datastore
Install ESXi, overwrite VMFS datastore
4.1 was a clean install a few years ago.
Thanks in advance,
