• Network drivers to install Esxi on a simple Tower Icase

  Hello

  I want to install Esxi 5.0 on a personal computer with this configuration:

  -form factor: tower case

  -motherboard: Gigabyte H77 DS3H

  -CPU: Intel Core i5

  When I try to install the ESXI, it tells me that no netword card is present.

  The built-in network card is an Atheros.
  Is it possible to use it for my Esxi on this computer?
  I have seen that it is possible to inject drivers and create a customized for Esxi boot cd.
  Can someone tell me how exactly?

  Thanks for your help,

  Jeremy

  I doubt you will find a driver for this NIC. In my opinion, it's much easier to get an inexpensive NIC that is supported or at least known as work (such as an Intel PRo/1000 GT).

• Add Teddy after installing ESXi 5

  Hello

  Can we add physical ESXi Server NETWORK card after we have installed ESXi 5 in the box? ESXi 5 will detect new physical network cards?

  I have a lab at home at home with a beefy server that I have VMware workstation 8 installed top.

  I created 7 VMs to be also my ESXi servers, a domain controller and a server vCenter Server (all virtual machines)

  My original for ESXi virtual machines configuration had 8 NIC in them for doing tests. (especially dVS)

  After VM 4th, ESXi, I forgot to add NICs while I was creating the virtual and installed ESXi machine with only 1 nic card.

  After you add the esxi in my vcenter, I recognized my mistake. So I stop the ESXi and added 7 NICs more.

  My assumption was after the restart of the ESXi, new network cards will be detected. But apparently not.

  I know that I have not hit any maximum rates in my VMware workstation 8 because in ESXi6 and ESXi7, I remembered to add NIC cards prior to installation, and I can see them in my vCenter Server.

  What Miss me? Is it because the ESXi are nested or even in the physical environment if I add NICs, they will not be detected after reboot?

  I'm sure that this was not the case in vSphere 4.

  Thank you

  Hello

  perhaps rather E1000 vNIC you added the VMXNET card? I have this same setup as the yours, and each time when I add a new vNIC to my virtual ESXi detects the new adapter

  See you soon

• Install ESXi on laptop

  Hello

  Just again with installation question, how to add NETWORK adapter drivers when installing ESXi in the laptop.

  and a minimum of RAM, HARD drive and other.

  Thank you

  Anand.P.K

  To install ESXi on unsupported hardware, you will need to know if there is a package of drivers for hardware components such as your network card and create an installation with this already injected driver image.

  The minimum requirement for ESXi is 4 GB (you need more memory if you want to run virtual machines however). The basically required disk space depends on the virtual machine to run, for ESXi itself - including the scores of dump - requires less than 10 GB. However, given that it is a laptop, you may have to see if the HARD disk controller is supported as well.

  I would like to know if pour installation it version of the reloaded is still recommended if where ESXi of HP (with ProLiant drivers...) it is better to use the standard version of vmware?

• Could not install ESXi on UCS B200M2

  I have traced the image ISO of ESXi in KVM virtual media and installation of VM always failed with the message
  "Could not load the module/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmfs3: failure.

  I use the downloaded image from VMware with file name "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0.update1 - 348481.x86_64.iso.

  Anyone know anything about this? Thank you

  Sorry took me awhile to find the email.

  So here's the deal with ISO specific to Cisco for ESXi.

  You use the specific Cisco of ESXi image if you install ESXi on the following

  1 UCS B230 local disk. Image 4.1 standard not a wrong driver LSI. If you perform a boot SAN with Palo you are fine.

  2. If you use any CNAs GEN2 (Emulex and Qlogic). It's true, regardless which you install ESXi on the blade.

  According to internal e-mail, I'm looking at these drivers did not have the 4.1U1 image, but should be in the 4.1U2 and 4.0U3.

  Result based on the answers above all what has worked and what has not with what equipment I would say that the news of the email are correct.

• install ESXi on UCS to boot from SAN

  Hello

  I have ucs and I need to boot from SAN

  I need to confirm something

  When I was installing WindowsServer the UCS to boot from SAN. I have attached the iso drivers for the HBA driver so that the blade can detect the boot LUN.

  Now, I'm going to install ESXi. Do you know if I need to use the iso as drivers for the HBA as with windows or ESXi detects this and will present me the boot LUN to start the installation?

  We will use the ESXi, VMware no custom of Cisco

  Thank you

  Hello

  A major difference:

  MSFT Windows has no drivers of enic fnic UCS preinstalled with the distribution of iso.

  ESXi has, but most likely not one who demands that the UCS support matrix.

  See http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  Therefore you install ESXi ISO of the distribution, and then you update the drivers of the enic/fnic

• install Esxi on re-usable

  Hello

  I have a Hp server, I intend to install Vmware on it. Please help me to sub questions.

  1 > what version of Vmware would be appropriate install (ESXi 5.5 or 6.0)

  2 > installation procedure of NU METAL.

  Thank you

  ANUP Kumar

  Welcome to the community,

  1. version to be used depends on what is supported on your hardware (see VMware Compatibility Guide) especially with the new generation of server (Gen8/Gen9) you must customize the installation ESXi yourself (inject the necessary drivers) or use the already custom image provided by HP (see Customize of Images VMware ESXi for HP ProLiant servers)
  2. the installation is quite simple. Start the host from an ESXi installation CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  What you can do before installing ESXi is to update the host with the latest firmware available and set up the RAID. Also, don't forget to activate the settings necessary BIOS, like the x - VT (Virtualization Technology)... It is also advisable to define 'High Performance' power management profile.

• Cannot install ESXi on a Seagate HDD 5.5

  Hello

  While I am trying to install ESXi on a Dell M630 Blade Server, it does not detect the storage drives to install on. I use a Dell certified 500 GB 7.2 K rpm NLSAS 6Gbps in 2.5 Hot plug Seagate (model number hard drive ST9500620SS).

  
  

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you

  In some cases, it may be necessary to clean the partition table on the disk. In any case, depending on your hardware, components, you may need to use custom Dell ESXi image, which includes additional drivers to take support the Dell hardware. You will find the image at http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/poweredge-m630/drivers. Simply change the ESXi 5.5 operating system and expand the 'Business Solutions '.

• !!!!!! Help! No network card detected during the instalation ESXI 5.5 in a laptop

  Hello

  I want to get a lab and install an ISO of ESXI 5.5 image from scratch in a laptop Lenovo T430 16 GB of RAM. Everything appears normally, BOOT from CD, copying files, early and late services, appears "not found network card remember that you at least have a network card to connect to the system", there is only the choice to have an ABORTION. Any help? The card is one Intel (R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection.

  What is strange to me if I installed a Windows 7 and after 10 VWworkstation, I can install a 5.5.without ESXI, even ISO problem

  ANYhelp is welcome!

  Welcome to the community,

  Please take a look at http://www.virten.net/2013/09/esxi-5-x-installation-on-intel-nuc-fails-with-no-network-adapters/ for more information on how to customize the installation image to recognize your network card. When you install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation, it is not the physical NETWORK adapter which is presented to the virtual machine, but a virtual NETWORK adapter for which ESXi uses built-in drivers.

• Cannot install ESXi 5.1 U1 or U2, error CPU_CORES

  
  Hello!

  I can't install ESXi 5.1 U1 or U2 on a Supermicro X10SLM + f motherboard with a quad-core Xeon-E3-1220 v3 CPU. It displays "ERROR CPU_CORES" claiming that I have only a single core and stops the installation. I was able to inject the drivers NIC to go beyond the failure of the 'no network adapter', but now I get this error of CPU.

  Someone at - it tried with this combination and has managed to install ESXi?

  Thank you for your time!

  Root cause found by Milton Cai to Supermicro tech support.

  Flash the BIOS to v2.0 was not completed correctly. Move the jumper to pins 2 and 3 JPME2 and re-flashing, then back to pins 1-2, fixed it.

• Question about installing ESXi 5.5

  I'm new to VMware and I tried to install ESXi 5.5 on some hardware that I need to build a test environment to home.  I know that some of my hardware is not on the supported list, but I have worked and now faced with a situation that I don't understand.

  I have a processor intel Core i3 4130 running on a card mother B85 based.  I seems to have a problem with the VTx - d settings in the bios and that you must use noIOMMU to get the installation to run.

  When I run the file .iso installation disc or usb image I go to the screen that says download now the client and to manage the server.  The strange thing is that along the way, I'm never asked what hard drive to install to, and it does not install on a hard drive.  It loads just for memory and runs from there, I think I can run this because all the hard drives are connected to the SATA3 and not SATA2 ports.  Could it be simple or is it the result of hardware compatibility problems, a simple change of SATA port will not fix?

  As someone can tell me what noIOMMU done or where I can find this information for me.

  Thank you

  Ted

  Found!

  It turns out that, as a result of information found in the thread Re: i7 - 4770 K Haswell core - ESXi5.1 hang "initializing IOV" is what made me.  The last message says to delete what is on the line and add noIOMMU to the line.  Delete what was on the line caused the installer to does not work.  Leaving the "runweasel" and adding let Setup and I'm good.  I guess not knowing what I was doing at all, let me make a mistake so simple, who would have thought to check it out.

  In any case I now have ESXi installed in running and so time to play and learn.

  Thanks for the help.  I'll probably looking more as I go.

• Install ESXi cannot see the RAID array

  I tried to install ESXi 5.1 on a HP Proliant Dl160 G6, with 4 hard drives of 2 TB in RAID 1 + 0 array, using a HP b110i controller. When it comes time to select the installation media ESXi to, the installer sees the 4 physical disks, rather than the logical disk that I created with the controller.

  The b110i is a RAID controller-based software that does not support the ESXi.  As you have noticed it will not recognize the individual disks and it work perfectly with them as individual disks.  But if you are looking for a RAID array, you need to add another RAID controller.
