• Unable to boot from USB thumbdrive running ESXi 5

  I have a workstation xw6600 I used as my sandbox for ESXi from 4.0. So I decided it was time to become familiar with ESXi 5, so before starting to run our upgrade to ESXi 5 in all our servers I wanted to update my own sandbox. I tried first of all to make an update to 4.1 update 1 who does not like I special HP drivers installed, so I decided to make a brand new install ESXi 5 using VMware bootable CD. The installation seems to be successful, but when the supposed to reboot from the USB system I get the typical mistake of the BIOS indicates that no BONES were found "no disk system or disk error." ». For a year I've been running ESXi in this system without problems. I am currently starting from 4.1 update 1 from a USB, if I look that the problem was the installation process in my sandbox (after hours of troubleshooting and several creations of CD), so I did an installation in one of our server (DL360G7). Everything went find I could only start in ESXi 5 no problem (using the same CD I create above). I took this USB to my sandbox and tried to boot from it and still the same error. I can not even boot my laptop from the USB. Does anyone know what changes to the startup procedure in ESXi 5 compare to ESX 4.0?

  From my understanding, if you create a new 5.0 installation, then it will only start using UEFI.

  However, if you upgrade an ESXi in 5.0, it retains the original MBR boot.

  See you soon.

• 2 guests on 1 physical server (running ESXi 5.5)?

  Hi, first of all... I'm new to VMware, I have 1 server Dell PowerEdge R420 in my new company that is used for virtual machines (running ESXi 5.5)... and I've been through, there 2 hosts running in 2 IP ranges, each host contains a few virtual machines... is it possible to have 2 guests on 1 Physical (ESXi) or am I wrong somewhere ?

  A nice man, it's what I told you about my last post, which should be another host in a remote area.

  Don't worry the confusion and do not forget to assign points for correct or helpful answers.

• Additional 2 x 1 TB HARD drive upstream Del PowerEdge running ESXi 4

  Hi all

  I would like to add additional 2 x 1 TB drive in my current work ESXi 4 Server that runs on Dell Power Edge 2950 - III the current configuration is 4 x 500 GB SATA RAID 5, do I have to reinstall the server just to add these two records in the data store to save it?

  Kind regards

  AWT

  If you have the PERC controller, simply add the disk in half.

  If you have OpenManage (OMSA), you can create new RAID configuration without restarting your system.

  Otherwise, just restart the system, enter the PERC BIOS, create a new virtual disk.

  Then, in ESX / Setup / storage card be sure to see the new drive (if it is not a new analysis).

  Then just add a new data store (in Configuration / Storage).

• Satellite P750 - after update BIOS CPU fan runs faster

  Hi all

  On my Satellite P750 (PSAY3A - 02L 001)

  Since I've updated my BIOS to version 2.40, I noticed that the CPU fan runs much faster then normal.

  Even more, when I go in options inside BIOS configuration, saving it comes up with "an invalid entry.

  Has anyone experienced this problem? Know a way to solve this problem?

  In General, old BIOS is not available when one is offered on Toshiba new download page.
  If you have older version of BIOS try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can get the ld for you version.

  By the way: have you tried to change the power settings for the cooling method and less upgraded?
  This should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

• Satellite P100-347: after update 4.10 BIOS fan always runs at maximum

  Hello!
  I have a P100-347 and had graphics problems of stuttering while playing games. Updated BIOS 4.0 to 4.10, it solves the problem of stuttering!

  Now, my fan always runs at maximum, it never ideals.
  It's always the same, even when I choose its configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only update the bios.

  I tested with the latest divers chipset intel and Nvidia alsow driver and it's always the same.
  So my concludes is the BIOS, is Toshiba knows something about this problem and work on a newer bios?

  Sincere friendships Ishmael

  Everything indicates that the BIOS 4.10 is the problem common to the always high speed of the graphic fan even when the PC is in sleep mode.

  I want to see action as a new revision of the BIOS 4.10!

• Phoenix BIOS crashes, cannot run BIOS

  Pavilion Media Center 8300f w / Phoenix Award BIOS v6.00 PG (1987-2007) and Windows Vista

  Constant freezes and crashes when you run Windows Vista, and as he tried to reinstall Vista inspired me to experiment with my laptop Dell Windows 7 installation disc (before buying another Windows 7).  I installed Windows 7, but the 2nd restart, BIOS seems to be completely DISTROYED (such as BIOS code that is executed before the frost line).  I can still run MS-DOS.

  What can I do now?  How do I Flash the BIOS so I can't even the configuration of the BIOS screen?  Also, where can I get an update of the v6.00 BIOS (which never worked well in any case)?

  Thank you

  Solved using the clearing BIOS settings

  Clear CMOS, follow these steps:
  (1) unplug the power cord.
  (2) temporarily the value jumper CLR_CMOS_HP pins 1-2 pins 2-3.
  (3) to start the computer and BIOS now works very well (but still no Windows 7).
  (3) force stop and unplug the power cord.
  (4) rider CLR_CMOS_HP reset to pins 1-2.

  Good information on the HP site:
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01077676

  Now I need an operating system that is running on this computer.

  Anyone use Linux OS and the KDE Plasma?

• How to configure the network adapter when you run ESXi on VmWare workstation?

  How to configure the network card installing ESXi on VmWare workstation 6.0.0?

  These are the options: I tried bridged, host-only NAP.  None of them works

  

  What Miss me? driver or adapater?

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

• Dell R710 and ESXi 4.1 NIC issue.

  Please bare with me, I'm a newbe with vMware.

  My question is this:

  Got a new Dell R710 with Broadcom BCM5709 quad. Install ESXi 4.1 CD. Then, I created a virtual machine and install Win Server 2008 R2 64 bit.

  In vSphere Client under configuration-> network-> properties (per virtual switch)-> network-> adapter details maps I see the Broadcom adapter. But in Windows in the Device Manager the NIC comes as Intel PRO/1000MT.

  This is the expected behavior? ESXi support a pilot intel virtual any? or must we show Broadcom NIC.

  If this is not the expected behavior, please suggest a solution.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  what you see is expected and in design. ESX mask the real hardware and presents a virtual hardware to virtual machines. In this way, you are able to move the virtual machine across different hosts and even VMware Workstation, player,... without a lot of changes.

• The good hardware specification to run ESXi

  I have plan to run about 2 DCs and 4 servers on a single VMWare ESXi 3.5 or 4 Exchange and use the local storage and not SAN for our software development department.

  What would be a good spec for the material of their performance?  I know that it depends on how it will be used, number of users, etc, but I'm looking for a more general recommendation based on your experiences.

  The processor type, the number of processors and amount of memory.

  I looked at DELL PE 2950 with the following specifications:

  -2 x Quad Core Intel Xeon X 5355 2x4MB Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB

  -16 GB of memory

  -2 x SAS HD 10 K rpm 200 (use as Raid1)

  And if there is a big difference in performance running Exchange 03/07 on a VMWare ESXi vs physical?

  This DELL poweredge2950 will be fine.

  I just came across this whitepaper http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_perf_exchange-storage-protocols.pdf

  It is perhaps of no use to you

• Benefits or running ESXi 3.5

  I run several poles of ESX 3.5 and started to explore whether it is wise to start using ESXi 3.5. What are the benefits or running the version lite, other than the small footprint?

  I run especially clusters in an IBM BladeCenter environment.

  What are the differences between ESXi (free version) and one that comes with VMware Infrastructure?

  Thank you for your help in advance.

  Maybe this KB will be useful?

• Cannot access a file because it is locked (running ESXi)

  I managed to work around this problem by restarting the ESXi host, so it's not critical.

  I had a case where I couldn't start a virtual machine because its files were always locked by a process running on the ESXi host that was running at the origin of the VM.

  I know that with the ordinary ESX hosts, there is a procedure to kill the process that still has the locked files.  However, with ESXi I do not have a console to connect to.

  Not to mention that the computer restarting host physical ESXi, how can you find a process and end it on a locked files VM ESXi host?

  Thank you!

  -Tim

  You do not have to restart the ESXi host, but you will need to use the UNSUPPORTED as Nick shell.  Once you do, you can use ps to find the process and kill to kill the process.  You can enable ssh as well, but who would need to display the console not supported first then edit le/etc/inetd.conf.

• Unable to run ESXi 5.5 computer at home

  I'm trying to test and learn from vSphere 5 for work and finds it difficult to install ESXi. I get ' no network adapters... "error. I tried 5 different cards and always got the same message. I tried to install ESXi as a bare metal installation, on Hyper-V and Xen server and still have the error. Not sure why vmware makes it so difficult for someone to learn their product. Super looking pretty good right now. Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations on how to get ESXi runnning?

  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  problem is, that ESXi does not have drivers for your network adapters, because they are probably not on the VMware HCL: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  As a workaround for testing purposes, you can install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Player, which is free for non-commercial use.

• Reference Dell R710 running on ESXi4.1 the error upgrade 5.1

  I downloaded the dell custom 5.1 esxi recovery CD of

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?DriverID=XWYR5

  but when I try to upgrade my esxi 4.1 server it gives an error in not available on iso vibs connection.

  any idea?

  I use a script to start with the upgrade command

  updated - firstdisk = local

  The two mentioned have been added with ESXi 4.1 Update 1 vibs, but have been removed in later versions. Unless you need these drivers for your hardware (which I do not), you can follow the recommendation on the screen. See also http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2009014
