• Dell PowerEdge 2850 does not start on a CD of ESXi 3.5

  Hello...

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850, who does not start on a CD of VMware ESXi 3.5.  The server works very well with Windows 2000 server.  My first thought to solve this problem was the BIOS.  This is all what I've updated in what concerns the firmware on the box today.

  BIOS - A07

  Perc4e/Di - 5B2D, A19

  BMC Firmware - 1.83, A10

  Here are the latest versions of firmware available from Dell on this box.  The machine starts to start the machine.  But all I see is the first line of text of the CD which is the following:

  ISOLinux 3.63 2008-04-10 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 h. Peter Anvin

  My next thought was that there was something wrong with the ISO image that I downloaded.  I tested it on another machine; has worked like a champ.  Now, I read on a few different posts within the VMware communities that some people have had luck with this question and others did not.

  The inventory number of Dell on the machine is 6HDGS81

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Some of the Dell CD-ROM may be little flighty. I had hard time to install a CD earlier which worked perfectly well on another machine. I made another copy of the disc, this time burning the CD at a 4 x speed. The installation went perfectly fine afterwards.

• Dell Poweredge 2850 and ESXi 4.1

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 12 GB of RAM and two CPUs, hyperthreading with 350 GB of disk space.

  This box was initially installed with Redhat Linux ES 5.4 64-bit and OS 64 bit CentOS 5.5 with no problems, so I know the processor supports 64-bit.

  I then installed VMWare ESXi version 4.1 on the Dell Poweredge 2850 with no problems.

  Then, I created a few instances VM I want to install CentOS 5.5 64 bit.  During the installation of a VMware instance, I get this:

  msg.cpuid.notLongmodeQuestionFmt:This veritual is configured for 64-bit operating systems.
  However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152
  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Now the question I have is this: given that VMWare is problems with 64-bit OSes comments, how is it that I can install CentOS 5.5 64 bit on this Dell PowerEdge 2850 with no problems.  It seems obvious to me that the PowerEdge 2850 works well with the 64 bit OS but not ESXi 4.1.

  How can I get around this?

  Comments?  Thanks in advance.

  The dell series 8 (1850/2850) have no vt support, so not support 64-bit virtual machine, except 6850.

  The output of the processor shows the same thing, or rather, what he shows no vt in its ability.  It shows lm, long mode, so you can run 64-bit, that you are running ESX, but to succeed in this 64-bit support, you need the lm, you and vt, which you don't have.

• Install a non-of a Dell Poweredge 2850 server operating system

  Hello everyone.

  I was wondering how I could go about the installation of operating system, including Windows 7 and Windows XP on my server. I understand that they are not made for the server, but I would use Windows 7 instead of the server operating system. Windows XP is an option, but I'd rather not, if I have to

  Stick the DVD in the drive and start to install.  Chances are that Windows 7, like server 2008R2 will NOT have the drivers for the controller RAID (PERC 4e/Di), so use the driver 2008R2 for the RAID controller (and any other device requiring disks after installation).

  Controller RAID PERC 4e/Di to 2008R2 driver:
  http://ftp.Dell.com/SCSI-RAID/LSI-LOGIC_MULTI-DEVICE_A00_R227150.exe

  Also keep in mind that PERC does NOT support non-RAID, so you MUST configure RAID before installing, or even with the right driver, no hard drive is visible.

  Potential problems:

  Graphics - you should probably use the drivers of graphics/video 2008 x 64 for a decent resolution.  Keep in mind that server (such as 16 MB video memory) graphics will run NO Aero or high resolution/refresh.

  DRAC - if you have a DRAC (Dell Remote Access Controller) card installed, you will not be able to install drivers to meet these devices in Device Manager.

  Management system - software of management of Dell is NOT supported on the client OS.

  Other:

  In the 2850 processors do NOT support the VT, then you would be very limited with virtualization options.

  Sounds: there is no sound on a server.

• ESXi 4.1 - Dell Poweredge 2850 - tape backup - host does not support configuring passthrough

  I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM.  I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ".  Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed.  Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160).  See.  This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.

  So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list.  This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?

  To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o).   I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this.  It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 Backplane - error message: SAS B missing cable. Misconfigured?

  We have a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2950 s, they came with a built-in SAS Perc5i RAID controller.

  Unfortunately the Perc5i is a kind of fake raid 10 (a span of mirrors) rather than a bunch of mirrors so we had to get some raid cards appropriate instead.

  So now the perc5i on board is disconnected from the bottom of basket and disabled in bios, and we have our new raid card installed and connected to the bottom of basket - all is well and they work well.

  However when the machines bios startup stops and we get an error message saying the following:

  «SAS B cable missing /.» Misconfigured.

  Turn the system power off and connected properly. Details for the wiring of storage system information label and manual Ownders hardware.

  Press F1 to continue, F2 to run the configuration utility.

  How can we stop this message? This is obviously completely false; our new SAS cards are connected to the bottom of the basket and works very well. I don't see anywhere to disable this message in the bios or the 5 BMC Management utility.

  BIOS version is 2.2.6 (last)

  BMC firmware is 1.97 (last)

  Backplane firmware is 1.05 (last)

  Help, please!

  
  

• Having trouble installing an OS on a PowerEdge 2850

  I recently purchaced a Dell PowerEdge server 2850 U1 of second hand and I'm unable to install an operating system on it.

  It's my first server to not laugh at me, if it's a simple solution

  I have no difficulty in obtaining start-up of the drive, but once it loads it does no drive detected

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Even if you have a RAID PERC 4 adapter, it does not seem any logical drives put in place if it is more than probably why you don't see any location to install the operating system. To configure a logical drive, open THE RAID controller BIOS and follow the steps on this link:

  If your server has a floppy drive, it's just a case of download and run this file, ensuring that it saves the contents of a floppy disk. Once you have done this, start the OS support and then select F6 to install third-party SCSI or RAID drivers when prompted and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you do not have a floppy drive, you can integrate the drivers using nLite: http://www.nliteos.com/ - if you need help doing so, please let me know.

  Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon.

• The lamp indicator yellow LED on Dell PowerEdge 1950

  Hello

  You asked me to "remove" the warnings of several Dell PowerEdge 1950 LED amber.

  I looked at the LED and was unable to 'remove' the warning using the controls on the LED display on the front the 1950s.

  How this is done?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If the error is not active then you can get rid of the clear amber of the erasure of the journal of material. You can either start to the BMC to clear the or use one of our management as OpenManage Server Administrator utilities.

• PowerEdge 2850 message error, no display, usb devices do not work and all readers are off (a little)

  Hello! I'm here in the dell community because I'm having an error with a PowerEdge 2850 server. When I boot it all seems to work, but inspection closer both blue and yellow led on the front is off. All devices (such as a keyboard) will not turn on. Supplies seems to work perfectly well with the error led out of power and both of the Green led on the power supply on. The drives at the front lights up but then after 2 seconds the led for every hard drive goes off and then when you reconnect the drives it will be on for 2 seconds then turns off.

  I tried:

  Reset all RAM chips and CPU in the case

  Replugin all hard drives from the server

  I tried multiple monitors

  has tried just using the power supply instead of the power brick or a surge protector

  and tried to run it only out of a raid, everything ends up in the same result

  I have no idea what to do so im just going to ask the community of dell. Thank you!

  Hello.

  What is the error specific are you? Try the system at least to the POST with the following components:

  • System Board
  • Processor
  • A bar of memory in DIMM1-A or B-DIMM1
  • Power supply
  • Riser
  • Control Panel and bottom of basket (necessary only when the last power state was off. Ensure that all USB devices, including the keyboard are disconnected.

• Path of VMdirect and Dell Poweredge T110 II

  No matter who got the e/s working on the Dell Poweredge T110 II DirectPath?  On the Summary tab, I have a warning indicating that the host hardware does not support the DirectPath of IO.  I have virtualization enabled in BIOS.  On the configuration tab I also have the error "Host does not support configuring passthrough" my processor is a intel Core I3-3220 3.3 Ghz.   If someone got it works with the latest BIOS?  I have to use USB external drives for storage of files and not facing one of the internal locations and just use the internal slots for my build of ESXI raids.  Any help in this would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Stephen Bailey

  I discovered that my CPU does not support directpath i/o, so there is no hope in getting this work.  I found a work-around however to get a crossed USB device.

  While VMdirectpath i/o would be nice there is also a USB device transfer which is another way to allow direct communication with a hardware device to a guest operating system.  ESXI allows transfer USB Device (this can be done without vmdirect path).

  When I first tried this (I didn't know at the time that ESXI 5.0 did not support USB 3.0) device usb 3.0 had not passed through and I thought it was because of a misconfiguration of the vmdirect path.  I did some additional research after I discovered that my processor didn't support directpath and found documentation for transfer of USB device.  All I had to do was add the USB controller to my guest operating system configuration then added a "usb device" to the configuration of my guest operating system who found the name of the device is connected.  I was then able to add a USB 2.0 device and my guest what OS is very clear.

• Purple screen of death vmware - Dell PowerEdge R410

  Hello

  I have a few questions on VMware Infrastructure.

  I use two hosts ESXi with ESXi 5.0.Dont have Vcenter Server.

  1. can I update H/W version of virtual machines without Update Manager or Vcenter Server. Y at - there a patch available to update the Version of virtual machines?

  Should I update ESXi host first 5.0 to 5.1, and then update the hardware version of the virtual machines.

  2. I get as a GROUP in a file server (Dell PowerEdge R410) was attached.it happened 7 times before, in the last 3 months.

  Please guide me for these issues.

  Thank you

  Concerning

  Pradeep

  To add to above, make sure you have the latest version of the tools VM installed on your comments before the upgrade virtual hardware.

  You can also patch your host without Update Manager - download patches, copy them to the host and run it from the DCUI;

  software esxcli vib install path_to_bundle.zip d

  I would recommend to patch the hosts first for your do you get the latest version of the tools, then upgrade the tools of the guest, and then upgrade the virtual hardware.

  See you soon,.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 P2V problem

  Physical server:

  Dell PowerEdge 2950

  Windows 2003 R2 Standard x 86 operating system

  Sheet music:

  Dell - hidden partition

  C: BONE

  D: Data1

  E: Data2

  vSphere ESXi 4.1 (under license)

  ISCSI SAN

  vCenter Server

  I tried on cold hidden server with boot CD, but received the error "unable to determine the operating system invited."  Looks like that I don't have the driver for the Dell raid controller in the boot CD.

  I decided to go with the hot P2V using the plug-in for VirtualCenter.  I stop the SQL server service and disabled the firewall disabled the anti-virus tools.  Only two partitions (C and G) on the physical server must be in the new virtual machine.  So, I've selected partitions C and G and has increased the size of the drive at a time.  I made sure not to install the vmware tools and unchecked the option reconfigures.   The P2V conversion was successful.   But when I went to start the virtual machine, it starts with the 'VMWARE' logo and restarts immediately.  Restart the virtual computer so fast I can't even in the BIOS unless I hit the key several times.   I did the clonning with the hidden partition, but with the same problem.   There are no BSOD or any indication that the virtual machine cannot find the vdisks.   Called in vmware support.  They used webex for an hour, but could not fix.  Asked me to send in the logbundle.

  I HERE it if someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Another option is to install the Standalone Converter 3.0.3 on the PowerEdge, stop all services and performing the conversion.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 of installation

  I'm testing DPM on a Dell PowerEdge 2950.  To make this work, I have need to configure IPMI if I can have a server go to safe mode and out of safe mode.  I've been Googling like crazy, but have been unable to find an answer on how to get this working.  Whenever I try to put my host in standby I get this message:

  vCenter has determined that it cannot resume host & lt; hostname & gt; standby; Therefore, the eve of the entry task was suspended.
  Confirm that IPMI/ILO is configured correctly for host & lt; hostname & gt;.  Or, configure vCenter to use WoL, making sure there are at least two or more hosts in the cluster, and then try the task again.

  A couple of things about this error: an it is a cluster two host (for testing purposes).  Two, I use Dell hardware so I have to use IPMI not ILO.

  I have connected my DRAC page and enabled IPMI over LAN, but I don't know what else to do here, and I don't know where all the parameters concerning this in vCenter or ESX.  Any help would be appreciated.

  I used the setting of Dell OpenManage.

  Under system / main system / remote access, you can see:

  Select the IPMI Over LAN-> Yes (don't forget it is YES)

  SOIL active Yes

  XXXXXXXXXX MAC address

  IPv4 address

  IP address static Source

  YYYYY IP address

  In ESX, under Configuration / PowerManagement / properties I use:

  BMC IP: YYYYY
