• UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

  Hello world

  I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

  In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

  Hoping someone could help me.

  Llianovich,

  Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

• After installing ESXi 5.1 computer does not boot any device

  Hello VMware Experts,

  This certainly isn't my are of expertise as I work most of the time on the bet network but in any case here is my problem area, and I hope that some of you can help me with this.

  So I bought a PC on Ebay hoping that I could define as an ESXi Server (here's the link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gateway-Intel-i5-3330-3GHz-8GB-1TB-Windows-8-Desktop-PC-DX4870-UB318-/321165075173?pt=Desktop_PCs & hash = item4ac6ee22e5 )

  )

  So I downloaded ESXi 5.1 and begun to installed

  First surprise, I had (it did not recognize my network card, I went to amazon and bought an Intel PCI Express NIC to get there)

  After 2 weeks, I received it today.

  Finally, I put the PCI network card in the motherboard and begin the installation.

  Everything seems to be perfect, great when I had until I completed the installation... I smile and then saw the message Installation successful, remove the CD from the CD room and restart the server.

  Right Awesooome! But then the problem occurred.

  After that the unit is back from the restart process he did not recognize any boot image installed on the drive hard (hard disk already set from the BIOS as a startup option)

  An error message like:

  does not recognize the bootable media

  I tried re installation, overwriting without success. (Same behavior)

  I know it's a very simple process, but what might happen here,

  Any ideas?

  Kind regards

  I have no idea why you install esxi on a metal bere machine but I assume you want for a lab at home.

  Well from my experience, when I started to learn Vsphere 5.1 - I was installing windows 7 on a desktop computer - then bought Vmware Workstation - I installed 5 ESXI host on it and tested all the features (HA, DRS, FT, VMotion etc.).

  I have a HDD i5 Desktop 2 t and 32 GB of Ram - but you could look for at least 8 GB of Ram it works perfectly.

  Let me know if you need help setting up Esxi in workstation...

• NETWORK card not detected after installing ESXi 4.1?

  Hi all

  I installed the ESXi Server 4.1 on a single server with the following configurations,

  CPU = Intel (R) CPU Xeon X 3430 @ 2.40 GHz

  Memory = 16GB

  NIC = Intel 82574 L Gigabit Network connection-2 no

  After that ESXi installation a NIC card not detected. But two cards network is the same configuration. Due to this problem, I can not configure grouping of NETWORK cards. Please suggest me. Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  On the screenshot that you are using a motherboard Intel S3420GP. Just a NETWORK card is 82574L, the other on board is a 82578DM, which is not supported. So you will need additional network cards.

  See you soon,.

• Add drivers to install ESXi?

  During the installation of ESX, you get the question if you want to add additional drivers, but who are not possible while installing ESXi?

  Otherwise, if a critical part as the disk controller is not included in the basic configuration, so I can't install ESXi on this hardware at all?

  Custom drivers can be added to the file oem.tgz on the installation media.

• C200 M2 LFF does not see the disks in the start menu after installing ESXi

  So in front of me, I have a brand new C200 M2 LFF with a single E5606 processor, 20 GB of RAM and a controller LSI Megaraid 9260 - 4i and 4 drives of 1 TB SAS. I put the disks in a RAID 5 array, I created a 10 GB virtual disk and properly installed ESXi on it twice, with a second virtual disk to be used as a data store.

  However, I can't get the thing to boot. It isn't even an option. The only storage in the boot menu option corresponds to the DVD player. If I look at the mass storage controller configuration, in fact, 0 and 4 SATA ports are "not installed" and port 5 has the DVD player.

  I tried fiddling with the settings of the BIOS without a bit of luck. Currently, the integrated controller is enabled and the SATA mode is set on improved (which seems to be the default, and what is recommended with Megaraid cards). It is a bundle (UCSC-DBUN-C200-102 by delivery, which seems to be a number of separate reference only), so I didn't have to assemble whatever it is and I guess that all the cables are connected at the factory. I opened the server, and I can say that all the cables look connected.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to open a case with the TAC, that's good, but seeing as I can't actually install the operating system there must be something stupid miss me.

  Disable the onboard Controller. This is software raid ICH10R.

  Reset. Then in the fixed CIMC/BIOS boot order and pint at the LSI.

  For the most recent ESXi 5.0, go to VMWare and search for ' ESXi 5.0 cumulative 2.

• Purple screen after installing ESXi 4, pf exception (14) in the world

  Hello

  I get a purple screen after starting the esxi host 4. I get the following exception: exception (14) in the xxxx world pf

  I tried the esxi version 4 with update 1 and without. both had the same problem...

  The server is a "new" hp proliant dl120g6...

  Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

  Hello

  Welcome to

  Everything seems to point to the sfcbd process (CIM providers). But it is a hypothesis. All this :).

  Running a version of esxi HP custom computers no HP support can produce weird effects. For this reason, it is highly public using this type of installation.

  I'm not really an alternative for what you want. To monitor (in a tight way) on esxi, you must use a supported HP computer. If this isn't the case, you must use a version of esxi vanilla without waterproof hardware monitoring.

  Please, remember to mark a useful or appropriate response.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• After re-installing ESXi data store

  Dear all,

  We were using VMWare ESX 3.5 on an experimental basis.

  There are 6 hard drives connected to the controller RAID servers. We have created 2 logical drives: 2 drives in RAID 1 and 3 disks + 1 as a spare online in RAID 5. We installed VMware ESX 3.5 on the first logical disk (RAID 1) and after installation added second disc (RAID 5) using the function 'add the data store' in the VMware VI Client as a second data store.

  That the trial period is over, we want to remove VMware ESX 3.5 and replace it with VMware ESXi 3.5. We copied all files with files from virtual computer on the second data store.

  My question is this:

  What will happen with the second data store when installing ESXi 3.5 on the first logical disk (RAID 1)?

  If nothing will happen to the second store of data (RAID 5) during installation, the function 'Add the data store' of the VI Client will allow us to add this data without fomratting store it?

  Thanks in advance,

  Orhan

  There is an option in the installation allowing you not to crush the warehouses of VMFS data - so when you start your new server it should already see the existing data store and you should be able to go through it and see the existing data

• 5.1 ESXi does not connect after installing - R720 Dell

  I installed ESXi 5.1 update 1 on a Dell R720 server. The installation was made using ISO provided custom in the Dell site.

  After installation I can't connect or ping to the machine.

  After SSH-ing to the host via the console I could see that the host can ping to its own IP address, but not of its front door.

  Is this a problem with the network Dell drivers?

  Information: There are 4 network cards. All are Gigabit Ethernet of Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5720 cards.

  esxcfg-NICS - l gave me the output below:

  

  Please help me with this.

  Hello

  You should check the configuration of your network management. If the IP, subnet mask, gateway, DNS are correctly configured and if it it set to vmnic3, as it is the only NIC you connected.

  If everything is correct, I would check the physical switch of the server config is connected to. Maybe the port is blocked or a bad local VIRTUAL network is configured.

• Undetected after the fresh install ESXi virtual machines

  Hello

  I have to say I really enjoyed working with ESXi, but I run a quick question for the moment.

  I initially installed ESXi 5 on an SD card and created several virtual machines via vSphere Client Windows. Because of the card SD comes off on the reboot (using a Dell R610), I have now decided to install ESXi 5 on a USB key. However, when I open the Windows of vSphere client, I do not see the virtual machines on the host, but I see that they are always present in the VMFS data store that I created earlier. When I boot from the SD card, they appear very well.

  I have to migrate somehow?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  As this is a new installation of ESXi you can save the VMs from the data store as the inventory.xml on the new facility can be empty.

  Measures to save the virtual machine using vmx are available on Ko http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006160

• VM does not start after that ESXi was replaced by version 6

  Hi all

  
  

  I ran a scary problem after replacing my VMware ESXi version 5.1 to version 6.

  
  

  My server is an Areca RAID controller which is supported by version 6 default. Yes, after installation (clean installation) 6 ESXi on a key USB internal drive, everthing seem good. It shows my store of data stored on my RAID controller and I can see the content, (see attachment, image of my data store) including my VM file - SBS2011.vmdk.

  
  

  I'm not a highly qualified VM pro, but the hard (about 40GB) file must contain my full Windows environment (Windows 2011 server).

  
  

  Have access to my data store on my RAID controller and access to the original .vmx file, everything seems fine. Make a right click of the .vmx, add to the inventory and I'm ready to go... but... it does not start.

  
  

  It shows a resource error, not this additional information. My feeling is that there is something wrong with the location of the Swap, because it looks like the place to swap is located outside the VM storage location (hard). This is what looks like my .vmx:

  
  

  It is not stored on my hard ' / vmfs/volumes / 512 b 5271-cb39b672-c198-001e676870c7 /! It points to a different location.

  
  

  (File VMX also downloaded with this post)
  

  
  

  No I have two question. What would be the cause of this problem, not able to start the virtual machine?

  
  

  Second question. Perhaps a solution: delete all files in my store of data, except the VM-SBS2011 - flat hard file, create a new virtual machine on my server, using an existing drive (showing my VM-SBS2011 - flat hard), I'll be able to boot my virtual machine? It will create a (work) .vmx file to the cool address? There where no snapshots exist when I close my Windows OS down the last time. I lose all the data? Help, please!

  
  

  Currently, I download the full content (all files) of the database on my local computer as a backup. I hope that my hard file will be sufficient.

  
  

  I'm really grateful for your help!

  I copied the file-VM in VMWare ESXi 5.5 on another data store (more old HP SAS) server en guess what... it's starting! So for now I'm back in business. It seems that there is something wrong with the original server, because my hard file appears to be damaged otherwise it would not start on my old good spare HP server...

  I still wonder what the hell happened after I replaced the internal drive of hypervisor type USB and installed ESXi 6 on a cool USB. I got in the RAID array. Now, even when I start the server of origin with it's original ESXi 5.1 USB (intact), I got the same error when you try to start the virtual machine. Is thinking there's something wrong with the RAID array but I can access the database on the RAID array and (after you move the content to another VM machine) all files are very well run smooth on the other server. Kill me.

  Any ideas?

• Install ESXi

  Dear guys,

  I have 2 esx 4.0 host and I would migrate to ESXi.
  I want to reinstall the hypervisors and I have this config:

  -1 for ESX RAID 1 logical unit number

  -1 VMFS RAID 5 LUNS

  I can't get him off ESX 4.0 installation ESXi keeping VMs on VMFS?
  I would like to install some hypervisors on RAID 1 LUN keeping safe VMs on VMFS

  The question is, ESXi installation, would this work? for example. I have install ESXi and then he discovered VMFS with VM automatically.

  Thanks in advance.

  Daniele

  ESXi will wipe away the LUN on which you install the hypervisor. All other LUNS will remain intact and discovered after the installation. All you need to do - after the configuration of the host - is to add the virtual machine to inventory.

• Install esxi lost, need to import local storage

  Hello, the RAID 1 call I had my esxi storage on crashed and I basically have to rebuild.  All my current vm have been stored on another VD but attached locally.  Is there a way to import the backs of these virtual machines.  If I remember correctly when I join vmware local storage erases the disk and formats is, since this VD is already formatted via vmfs I am hoping to bring back all my virtual machines.  Any helop is appreciated.  I've been googling and everything I find is stuff for san storage.

  ESXi will not be automatically shaped your storage space, except maybe to install.  If you can take the volume offline installation or remove it completely during installation, then you should be safe.  Just re - attach after installing and starting up the host.  He must find the storage during the analysis of startup and add it to your data warehouses.  If its not there then could be considered a snapshot lun, you know that when you start the wizard of data store.  Don't complete the wizard, if she doesn't already you can reformat your data store.
