Adding disks to update 2 ESX 3.5 Server

Hello

I added 2 extra disks(300GB) to our server ESX 3.5 Update 2 (use local storage on the server), but the ESX Server is not picking up these extra drives like all, I did re-scanner but does not collect these discs.  The server we have is a Dell PowerEdge2950.  Could some please advise correct how to add additional disks to the ESX Server.

Thank you

You will most likely find the documentation for the specific RAID controller, use the DELL web page. Usually, it's as easy to enter in BIOS RAID controllers, while the host starts, creating a RAID set of new unused disks and configuration of a logical volume (DELL so-called virtual disks in their documentation) on the RAID.

  • Add more disk space for the ESX host

    Hi all

    I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

    Thank you

    You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

    If VUM does not work well, I suggest to remove and the relative DB and then perform a new installation of own.

    Maybe directly with vCenter Server 2.5U5.

  • How update of ESX 4 Update 1

    Hello all, I need help for the upgrade of our ESX servers.

    We have 7 ESX 4 Server (Advanced) and a (Advanced) Vcenter server. I moved the virtual machines of 2 ESX servers to other servers and installed

    the news using the iso file to update 1. There is therefore 5 left ESX servers to update, but I don't want to do this by the migration of virtual machines to others

    servers and installation of the host with iso update 1.

    So I downloaded ESX - 4.0.0 - update01.zip and Vmware Vsphere Upgrade Guide. What is the good guide? Chapter 14 (update an ESX/ESXi host using Offline bundles with the vihostupdate utility) is the right one for me, OK?

    I don't really understand how to upgrade hosts with the vihostupdate command. I installed the VMware vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) virtual appliance on any of the ESX host and now?

    ESX 4.0 U1 server upgrade is not supported with vSphere Host Update Utility. You can use vHUU for the upgrade to ESXi 40-U1 with online portal.

  • MTU 9000 ISCSI independent seur ESX 3.5 server map

    Hello

    Is it possible to set up an independent ISCSI storage card in MTU 9000 (Jumbo frames) on an ESX 3.5 Server

    Or at least how can I know my tr card is already configured in MTU 9000, ( Attention! I speak well a hardware independent ISCSI card!) and not software or dependent.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    first I want to thank you pour your answer, but as I explain in my question it's a card ISCSI independent (hardware) and software, but I found an answer to my question

    the command is:

    esxcfg-hwiscsi - l vmhbaX (X is the number of your HBA card)

    Thank you in advance.

  • A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

    The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

    If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

    most important:

    change

    virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

    in the vmx file

    then change

    ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

    in the vmdk file

    the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

    also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

    If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want
