在DELL服务器上升级ESXI 5.5
最近公司升级ESXI到5.5 版本，这个过程大家遇见了各种问题，最后同事写了个在DELL服务器上的升级（重装）流程，豆子觉得很不错，拿出来分享一下。
基本流程：
重新调整网卡顺序，因为网卡的位置顺序在旧版的R710，R720和新版的R720s服务器上是不同的。如果直接升级5.1到5.5，还是使用旧的排序方式，如果重新安装ESXI 5.5，则会使用新的编排顺序。
安装服务器，连接网线
配置iDRAC
配置IDRAC的DNS和主机的DNS
初始化IDRAC，设置时间，域名，DNS等等
升级固件，根据DELL的建议是，重启服务器，从life controller启动之后，使用SUU光盘升级除了网卡之外的所有固件，然后从Dell的CentOS 光盘启动，手动安装网卡的驱动程序（BIN格式），这样可以最大的避免各种意外
安装或者升级 ESXI5.5，最好先去掉FC的连线，避免误安装到SAN上。从ISO启动之后，指定安装路径（本地磁盘或者SD卡上），一路安装下去即可。
初始配置。安装完毕之后，按F2登录，配置Managment 网络的网卡，VLAN，IP地址，网关， 打 ESXI Shell和SSH
ALT-F1切换到Shell, 配置
esxcli network vswitch standard policy failover set -a vmnic0,vmnic1,vmnic4,vmnic5 -l iphash -v vSwitch0
esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover set -p
"Management Network"
-u
然后测试 vmkping 10.0.0.1 (网关地址）
10. 接下来，进行防火墙，PortGroup相关配置

11. 配置SAN
配置Brocades
配置Compellent
重启或者rescan ESXI
12.通过vCenter连入ESXI，通过update Manager PlugIn 连接Baselines，然后升级
13. 重复以上操作，对所有的主机完成安装升级之后，打开HA和DRS等功能
