Changes from ESX 4.0 Update1 to ESX 4.1
USB Memory Sticks
vSphere provides the ability to have USB devices available to the virtual machine
guests.
This has the effect that the USB device is no longer available to the COS. In pre-
ESX 4.1, this may have been used for transferring files to the ESX server.
To perform the same functionality, use the vSphere client to upload the files to a
datastore. In the ESX console, the datastores are located under /vmfs/volumes.
Upgrading VMware tools will require the guest to be restarted.
