Can't get HP storageworks MSA60 to be seen rookie

Hello

I installed ESXi 5 on a HP DL380 G5 which has a Storageworks MSA60 with 9 directly connected via a smart array P800 controller 300 GB sas drives. Vsphere 5.1 using I can see the controller P800 but nothing connected to it although I can see the internal drive on the DL380 connected via another controller. I don't know if it's the Storageworks which is not compatible or something else.

Any help appreciated as I am on a steep learning curve.

Concerning

The MSA60 is literally an external disk enclosure. VMware doesn't support it. By that, I mean if you were to install Windows, you do not see the MSA60 in your device manager, it does not take any sort of driver. You'd see the RAID P800 map and some trendy on logical disks. Imagine opening a server, your internal SAS cable running through a hole in the back and hang on your external drives to the server. It's about the MSA60.

The P800 IS supported by VMware, so this configuration should work. However, what you have in VMware is any interface to create a RAID array. And without that ESXi he sees just as a vacuum controller. Your server, being a very old G5, will not have the software Intelligent Provisioning of modern systems allows to work around this problem either. So you need to do is:

Download a copy of the HP SmartStart CD

Boot to CD says

Go to the table where controller utility

Create RAID arrays and then one or more logical drives. Keep them under 2 TB. Although ESXi 5.1 stand, I wouldn't be confident that your older hardware would work well with it.

Reboot to ESXi, you should be able to create a data store.

  • How can I get my netflix and hulu accounts to load to the appleTV

    We use netflix and hulu on our smart TV, but have some questions then got an AppleTV.  How can I get these accounts to get on screen the AppleTV.  The App store don't show them not as "in the cloud" to download?

    Hi Diane

    Once you're on the appleTV, you shouldn't be on the interface (right now all what you're used to seeing) of your smart TV.

    After you have connected your your ATV HDMI cable to your TV, your TV remote, you should be able to go to the respective HDMI (usually the key to which is called input or Source)

    Once you see the ATV interface, netflix should be there. You should perhaps update your ATV first and configure it to your wifi for the first time.

  • I can't get MacBook Pro to start what it is.

    I have a MacBook in early 2011 Pro 15 ".  The other day, while he was playing in Mainstage my computer decided to restart but never got past the loading of 3/4 bar.  I have run all shortcuts start and seem to restrict the question down to the hard drive.  I bought a new ssd and then had to borrow a friends MacBook to connect with disk utility (my computer wasn't allowing me to any disk utility) to format the ssd drive and install OS X.  I installed the new ssd in my MacBook and I always get the same question.  I can't get into anything other than the single-user mode.  What is a motherboard problem or a firmware issue?  Someone at - it any other ideas?  RAM is tested ok, ssd tested ok, clean install of Mac OS X starts with another computer so that the work of.  Tested cable SATA, reset SMC and LANDAU, ok I can't access internet recovery mode (it loads, and then the screen goes black to white).  I'll try a firmware reset disk, I don't know how it will work but when I can't access anything whatsoever...

    I guess that's an incorrect configuration of the installed SSD. Assuming that there is no mechanical problem with the installation of the SSD, here is how you should have put in place.

    Clean Install of Mac OS X

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
    2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
    3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
    5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
    6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
    7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
    9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    This will not work if your computer is capable of a resumption of network. See the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery to see if you can use this method. If this isn't the case, then your computer initially comes with a version of Snow Leopard on an installation disc. Can you use this disk to partition and format the SSD install Snow Leopard. 10.6.6 or later, is required to access the App Store, where you can download El Capitan for installation.
