• bare metal Windows Installer 10

  If I do a "bare metal" upgrading to W10, how then install the HP software features I want, like sleep and extended features, the HP documentation, etc.

  Note: I don't have the backup of HP, I think the other backup software works erfectly well.  I don't want no other option of HP.

  M $ 'check PC' concludes that the Folio 13-1016TU can run W10 and all my programs and satisfactory equipment.  In my opinion this Upgrade Advisor is leaves much to be desired, and I was informed that his performance is the responsibility of MS rather than program and material suppliers.

  Yes, the laptop should still run Win10 with no major problems, even though as you say, the Upgrade Advisor may not always be accurate.

• Can I shrink a logical drive and not the extended partition to a bare metal restore to a smaller drive?

  The current configuration is a Dell T310 with a S300 controller, with all locations 4 hot filled with SAS drives.  The operating system is SBS 2008 (2008 Server/Vista), I intend to change the controller of S300 (software) controller, a controller (hardware) H700.  My concern is that the H700 brings readers a little smaller in size.

  The typical arrangement of Dell's diagnosis, followed by a recovery partition partition (E :), followed by the system partition (C :), followed by a partition with a logical volume (d).  If I use Diskpart to shrink the D: 'partition', he let me with free space, not allocated.  Thus, it effectively reduces the logical drive, and the extended partition stays the same size as it was, with no way to reduce it.

  The question is, if I shrink the logical D: drive and not the extended partition and then get backups of the system, I'll be able to a bare metal restore on the smallest virtual disk of the H700?

  That's what I did:
  -Released the S300 controller and 4, 450 GB, 15 000 rpm Cheetah RAID-5
  -Replace the controller H700 and 2, 2 TB 7200 RPM in RAID-1 Constellations

  Results:
  -Eliminates the possibility of falling on a disk space issue when restoring
  -Increased the amount of available disk space.
  M ' left with 2 free hard drive for future expansion bays.

• Windows 2008 R2 Server error Stop 7B after Bare Metal Restore of VM.

  I tried to make a bare metal restore of a physical server Windows 2008 R2 on a virtual computer, and although restoration is fine, when I restart the virtual machine after the restore, I get a STOP: 0x0000007B (see screenshot) error.  I was able to find all kinds of '' correction '' online, but none really solve the problem.  Someone at - it else done this and can provide a solution?  Thank you.

  As for your suggestion concerning the audit of the controller and then using vSphere converter, do you want to say I point the converter on the VMDK 'broken' and choose a Machine configuration option?

  What you can do with VMware Converter, is to run the Machine "set up" against the power off VM (simply select the virtual computer after connecting to the host or vCenter). I mentioned to check the controller before doing this, because this controller is the default configuration for the operating system you use.

• Bare metal to VM and network lost settings

  Customer site, IBM System x 3650 running VMware ESX Server 3i in turn four servers to Windows Server 2003.

  Customer has decided on this approach for the DRP.  Three of the servers have been made VMs of bare metal servers back to Headquarters.  A problem noted with raising in the virtual machine environment is that they have lost the original network settings - which is logical given the fact that the adapter is different.  But it would be nice if it were the case that is static, gateway IP address and DNS settings could be part of the virtual network adapter settngs machine.  What are the options?  This is adjustable during the construction of the virtual machine?  Or is it possible to create a virtual adapter to a bare metal Server?  Others?

  A newbie question - please be patient...

  Thank you!

  As Erik said, remove all the drivers and hardware (com ports, serial, floppy disk, NIC ports, etc.) of the virtual machine. Among the pitfalls that you may experience after the P2V is sometimes the old IP settings are required to and you can even assign the same virtual IP address to the new network card because windows has this IP linked to the old physical card. That's when you need to run the "show no present devices ', so that you can remove the old nic in Device Manager for the news of the intellectual property contained in the output register. You might have to restart the virtual machine that you can assign the IP address to the new virtual card.

  Thank you

• W530 Bare Metal with ESXi 5.1 - Possible!

  Guyz!

  This will be good news for all those who want to wear metal ESXi W530 5.1.

  With simple clicks of customization, the whole installation runs smooth and Nice.

  For those who are interested. Answer in the thread and a lot of fun to share with you the way to do it.

  (I can't just download the image, it will be great if I can put it in a place).

  You get a few things to do.

  1. the ISO original Esxi 5.1. Download after free registration of VMware.

  2. a customizer of ESXi (http://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer.html#download), this helps you to install a VIB in the ISO in order to go through the installation

  3. download the map here VIB (http://shell.peach.ne.jp/~aoyama/wordpress/download/net-e1000e-2.1.4.x86_64.vib).

  4. just the disk with the ISO to boot you careated. Everything works fine

• Bare metal 10 Windows Installer after the upgrade free on-site

  I wanted to start a new thread on the specific problems with the reactivation of Windows 10 after obtaining your free upgrade by upgrade Win7 or Win8 on-site.

  Someone has actually managed to make this work?

  Have you taken steps to clone all parameters (such as the MAC address) of the upgrade virtual machine?

  Have you had to call MS?

  Please chime...

  Someone in my organization wrote the following:

  For what should be obvious reasons, Microsoft does not publish details of their activation. However, several of the VM (.vmx, hard) files contain several unique hardware ID such as Virtual NIC MAC addresses, serial numbers virtual HD, a bios UUID, etc, all these values can be read by the guest OS. We know that the serial numbers of equipment like these are used to generate the hardware hash that Microsoft uses to determine the identity of an activation system, although the exact algorithms are secret.

  We also know that when you copy a virtual machine to a new location VMware Workstation will ask if it has been moved or copied. If you select 'Copy' it generates a new UUID news addresses MAC, etc. and the system requires reactivation because as Windows is concerned, it's a different system or a major change enough 'material' to qualify as such. If you select "I moved it", it doesn't generate a new hardware ID and the system remains activated.

  I'll need backup/snapshot my VM activated prior to the test, but it goes without saying that the start of the install media (Microsoft has a tool to generate or download the ISOs) and shape (or diskpart own) the virtual drive before doing a clean install on a virtual machine enabled previously, as you would on a physical system they wanted to rebuild , will perform a clean installation of the virtual machine and allow a reactivation by license terms for Microsoft. Assuming that automatic resettlement activation works as Microsoft said, is installed on the same virtual hardware as long as you don't tell VMware to generate new material ID's

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

  On the reverse, there is also this 'feature' 'factory reset' which also supposedly returns it to a 'clean install' state you said could be another possibility.

• OMIVV 3.0 & Dell R630 Bare Metal deployment error: apply ISO has failed, the Exception occurred * servicetag *.

  Hello

  We try to use OMIVV on a new deployment of R630 Dell servers with dual deployment ESXi 6 SD card.

  After deployment is running the server restarts but does start the ISO, iDRAC IP is in another network to OMIVV but there is no restrictions on communications between network iDRAC and the OMIVV box.

  Looking at the firewall no attempt is made to connect to the iDRAC network file sharing, but there is a small amount of comms to OMIVV box.

  No traffic is blocked.

  This doesn't seem to work at all and the information about why a failure has produced are non-existent.

  Everyone sees these questions?

  Thank you

  Please make sure that the IP OMIVV eth0 network address is available to the iDRAC network IP address and try to deploy the hypervisor.

• First Bare Metal hypervisor. Best practices

  Hi, I'm buiding a supermicro superserver 7046t - NTR + w / 2 x Xeon E5620 CPU 48 GB DDR3 1333 ECC REG RAM (6X8Go) 8 x 1 TB 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA drives. I intend to install the free version of ESXi. I need to put as much Windows XP VLPD here that the hardware allows. I can extend up to 144 GB of RAM if necessary. The Windows XP VLPDs run 512 MB or 1024 MB of RAM 8 GB virtual drives. The VLPDs averaged a light load, but there are gusts moderate activity.  The night before I start installing ESXi and I realized that I still have questions.

  With 8 drives 1 TB should I do two-Bay RAID 10 install ESXi on one and use them for the VLPDs and mirror 2 for ESXi and 2 to Exchange files and then put VLPDs on RAID 10?

  With 48 GB memory vivid 1024Mo how Windows XP VLPDs can I expect to run?

  How many people find the SATA drives from the bottleneck?

  Is - this true statement

  The free version of ESXI will support 2 quad core processors, but to switch to 6 or 8 core processors ESXi requires a new license.

  Thank you guys

  More pins the better performance you will get.  Also, make sure you do diskalignment.  ALSO do not format the VMFS on installation make in vSphere Client so that you have the question about your VMFS.  See this link for more information it is something that can really eat your drive! http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/04/08/aligning-your-VMS-virtual-harddisks/

  See you soon,.

• Install ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on a single isolated standalone workstation

  In the hardware compatibility list, I noticed that the HP Z840 workstation is compatible with ESXi/ESX/Vsphere. In fact, the HP Z840 is the only HP computer that is not a server and still included in this list of compatibility.

  For the moment, I have a unique stand-alone HP Z820 workstation.

  If I decide to upgrade to a new computer HP Z840 independent, I will be able to install, configure and use ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on it and install top one, two or more systems of guest OS designed to run simultaneously, without having to connect this workstation Z840 even temporarily on another computer, separate console or network?

  There are two types of virtualization-

  1 bare Metal virtualization-

  ESXi is a virtualization software, have you install directly on the physical server from bare metal hardware. ESXi is very compact.

  Then to manage ESXi host and create the virtual machine on ESXi host, you need a system more to run vSphere Client or use client Host.

  ESXi directly access physical resources, which improve the performance of virtual machines.

  2 hosted virtualization-

  VMware workstation is a hosted type virtualization software, install you it on any system Windows or Linux and then create virtual machine on it.

  Windows underlying system provides material resources to virtual machines created in workstation that's why you get no good performance of the VM as compare to ESXi

  Today VMware workstation 12 perform as well, if you simply create VMS to test or purpose LAB VMware workstation will also work.

  For good performance, then you must ESXi host at least a Client system to manage ESXi and VMs.

• VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  HI people,

  I did a forum search tried a few things suggested previously, but not joy.

  I get this error message

  Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
  you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  =================================

  The host OS is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, 64-bit 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

  VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 build-744019

  
  The server is an HP ml350 g5 zeon 5420 cpu quad core server

  
  history esx 5i was installed on bare metal, I formatted and installed server 2008 x 64 sp2

  
  the bios is the last

  and these bios options are set

  Intel VT enabled,
  and no. execute activated too memory.

  ==============

  I understand that when these changes are made to the host should be recycled to power...

  
  This bios like many others after record changes usually f10, the changes are made and this server restarts

  is this normal?

  don't know what means VMware by power cycle

  I have disabled you options to see if I get an error that I saw the jpeg format

  (called) when the vt is disabled in the bios

  He talks about power cycle the host,

  I have the new option that was just to see if the vmworkstation was reacting to the bios actullaly.

  It has been.

  ============================================================

  
  all this should be good as the tool VMware-comments 64check - 5.5.0 - 18463

  reports

  This host is capable of running an operating system of 64 comments

  I ran it under this vmware product.when on my host Server 2008 x 64 sp2 enterprise.

  =============================

  I installed vmware workstion 8.0.4 on windows 2008 x 64 sp2 build-744019

  then I installed esxi 5 all right

  under custom options for the CPU, I chose Intel VT - x or Amd - V
  ==================================

  
  but when I opened esxi 5

  I get the error message #.

  Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
  you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

  
  so I tried this

  
  Add the following line to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini:

  hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

  I also put this line

  hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

  C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini

  
  but still the same question after stop downs and restarts too

  I stop the physical server and restarts too

  My query

  These settimgs are supposed to be done in the two files above and in brackets ""

  must they be carried out before the esxi is actually installed in the workstation 8 or after.

  
  SO IMHO workstation notice 8 is misinterpreted something on my hardware.

  The ideas people?

  I have tried several combinations but no joy...

  
  Thank you

  Hmmmm...

  so with the options checked in workstation should it work,.

  (I tried it did not work)

  I don't know if I still need the lines edited in two places during the use of this option?

  and should it be done before that Esxi is installed in the workstation 8?

  or is the line of editing out of place now?

  Line editing is not relevant for your situation, since your CPU does not have the characteristics necessary for the virtualization of hardware support virtualized.

  If this server supports Esxi 5 bare metal because it was installed when I got it...

  First option get a processor that supports the corrrectly but if Intel specs are misleading where should I start... ???

  under kernel options for this doc of quickspecs ML350 g5 Server

  There are a variety of processors. any suggestions on one. ?

  http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/12475_na/12475_na.html#core%20Options

  ========================

  None of these processors will help.  You need at least a CPU E55xx for HV virtualized.

  Option 2) now on this bare metal Esxi 5 with this current processor can I install 64-bit clients? (guess I'll try soon) but I would like to know... all ideas welcome...

  Yes, no problem.

  should I just particularly setttings in ESXi5?

  N °

  All the options for me to set up a laboratory for vsphere upward with this as is, or with the new processor?

  IMHO if not I could use 2 of these physical servers if I can get another assumption, that he would need to be the same?

  to try they full of features of vsphere. like HA, Vmotion etc.

  No, he would not have to be identical.  No matter what CPU Intel x 64 of this vintage, or later would be compatible with EVC (well well, with the exception of Atom).  You need only an identical processor for tolerance to failures.

• How related is a license of workstation to the host?

  I've been evaluating various products VM to use desktop, and I decided that VMWare Workstation provides enough advantage on free products worth the price.

  My current desktop is Linux Ubuntu 11.10, running on the bare metal.  It is my intention to move gradually, to a Linux Mint 12.0 installation, running in a virtual machine.  In other words, for a few weeks or a few months, as I move applications and configurations, one at a time, I'll have the two race.

  Currently, I'm running on a Workstation 8.0 evaluation license, with installed on Ubuntu and mint in a guest host.

  Once I moved everything into the virtual machine of mint, I anticipate replacing the host - a clean, stripped, install Linux on a new disk and then installing the workstation on that host.  Use it for virtual computers little more accommodations - including the VM of mint I use as my main office.

  My problem is that I'm not likely to complete the transition process before my trial license runs out.

  So the question - I'm having problems with the license of workstation, if I install it on a hard drive with an Ubuntu installation and then install it later on a different hard disk to a different Linux installation.  I'm not worried about the legal aspects - there is only a single physical computer, and it's only going to start on one drive at a time.  But I'm worried I might fall against the validation of license of workstation problems.  I could easily see how it could decide that I'm trying to run it on two different machines.

  Can I expect problems?  Or I worry about anything?

  IMO there will be no problems with this approach, legal or technical. VMware Workstation requires no activation, enter the license key is all he needs. As long as you make sure that the licensed version works on one system, you should be fine.

• Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade not activate when it is installed on the bare machine

  I have two laptops.

  The first belonged originally to my employer and originally had an OEM of Vista installation.  After that I bought them that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium via the upgrade Vista product. This laptop is dead in a final very recently.

  Also the second laptop was bought by my employer, but as bare metal (they were more able to transfer licenses of Windows). He had no OS installed. I was not able to install a copy of Vista on it (because the purchase of the laptop one did not include the disks of Vista). So that I could not transfer activation. Windows 7 upgrade-to-Vista install has worked well on the bare machine (after downloading the drivers and others) except for activation, where he could not say "you cannot use an upgrade installation."

  I guess, reading a bit on this topic here, I'm out of luck on the old Windows 7 license transfer (although I'd like to hear otherwise). Even if this is the case, I need to know what I need to follow to install a version "authentic". I don't want to build the machine from scratch once again, if I can avoid it - it was very tedious. I don't want to 'upgrade' to Windows 8.

  He would work to install a version of Windows 7 OEM on top of the existing, or must they be installed on a naked machine? Is there a different version that works if that won't? (Special bonus question: would such a facility, if it works, make the machine that is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?)

  Thanks for all your comments and responses.
