As a follow up to my previous post, supported virtualization environments for SQL Server, here is a great blog post at Techhead on How to Determine the VMWare ESX or ESXi Build Version. I was looking to find the Update# from the Build#, and Techhead’s handy table provided that:
| VMware ESX Update: | Build Number: |
| ESX 3.5.0 Update 1 | 64607 |
| ESX 3.5.0 Update 2 | 110268 |
| ESX 3.5.0 Update 3 | 123630 |
| ESX 3i (3.5.0) Update 3 | 123629 |
He lists three ways via the VMWare Infrastructure Client to find the version & build, as well how to use the Service Console to find version, build, and updates applied/update level. He also provides a link to the VMWare kb that covers this.
Nice to find what looks to be a great reference on VMWare technology, in addition to just getting an answer to my build# question.
