Cannot customize esxi 4.1 build 348481 u1

I installed esxi 4.1 build on a dell t3500 348481 u1. Installed everything fine. I can access my esx vsphere client on the network. I want to change the name of the server and add another network card. I have restart my esx server and wait until it is completely. Gray screen that indicates the ip address and other. I do not see the "hit F2 to customize." The previous version of esxi 4.1 had this. Am I missing something?

Welcome to the community,

can you confirm that you look at the yellow/grey screen? Please press ALT - F2 to see if that changes anything. If not, post a picture of the screen.

  • ESX 4.1 Build 260247 to 4.1 Update 1 Build 348481

    What is the upgrade path?  I was able to update our server ESX 4.0 but due at the time of the new version, I had just installed 4.1 build 260247 on our new box of ESX.  Then update, we're out.  I used the Update Manager to upgrade the 4.0 server to the latest version (4.1 update 1 / 348481 to build using the file "upgrade-from-esx4.0-to-4.1-update01-348481.zip" via the Update Manager.)  Worked like a charm.  Now, oddly enough it doesn't seem to be a clear path to upgrade to 4.1 260247 4.1 Update 1 / build 348481.  I would have assumed it would be an easy task using the Update Manager.  What Miss me.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    There is no need to manually download packages of fixes. After you install and configure the Update Manager, it will show you the fixes available in the repository. All you need to do is create a baseline with updated patches 1 and attach it to objects you want. Update Manager will automatically download patches. If not already fact, take a look at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsp_vum_41_admin_guide.pdf for more details

  • No sound, cannot start Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service, RPC server not available

I went to all the necessary services that should be started and all have the value automatic and running except for the Audio service of builder endpoint, windows audio service and service audio creative.

    When you try to start the audio endpoint Builder service windows I get error 1722: the RPC server is unavailable.

    I can't start the service windows audio either. I get an error 1068: the dependency service or group could start.
    I tried to change the local system account log in info and now I get a different error message: 1079 the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.
    I tried to uninstall my sound card drivers (creative audigy 2), my pilots on board her (AC97) then reinstalling both, no chance.

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64

    I am also having a problem with my USB keyboard goes dead. the backlight stays on, but none of the buttons will respond. I have to unplug the USB and use it to hold back in order to reinstall. It seems that if I do not use the keyboard for a while it turns off, but the lighting. I disabled in the power of USB energy saving profile, and the problem persists. My mouse does not turn, so I think it is not related to my power profile. It's a keyboard Saitek Gamers (USB).

    I guess the problem with the Windows Audio endpoint builder, it's that you have disabled the Windows on Windows 7 power management.  For some reason, the audio services cannot start if power management is disabled.

    I was going to install the software for my UPS APC power management and requires that the Windows power management is disabled.  I disabled the service and rebooted the system and noticed that the audio services is not started.  You try to start their hand gave the errors you mentioned.  When I started the service of power management, I was able to start audio services.

    Microsoft does not mark as services that depend on it, but there is a relationship.  I know that in Windows 7, which they said he optimized use of energy for the audio and I guess audio services are looking at power management to see what type of profile is in use.  Because power management does not work, it is unavailable and terminate the audio services.  Again, this is just a guess, and I can't find definitive answers to this topic.

  • Cannot install ESXi v5.5 - copy with debugfs error

    Hello!

    I am installing Hypersphere ESXi Vsphere v5.5.0 (or v6.0) on a Dell computer.

    I burned the image to a CD:

    VMWare - VMvisor.Installer - 5.5.0 - update02 - 2068190.x86_64.iso

    I can boot the computer off this CD image, and the first steps of the installation process are ok. At some point, I can accept the license (press F11), and then to select the player that I want to install to.

    In my case, there is only one choice: internal HARD drive. This point is highlighted in yellow, I just press ENTER.

    A few seconds later, I get the following error message:

    Copy with debugfs to /tmp/ESX_upgrade/boot/Initramfs_genkernel-x86-3.14.16-gentoo.gz

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Is there some thing/all operating system installed on the local disk? In this case the local disk wipe could help.

    Alos there could be a problem with the driver for the NETWORK interface that is integrated, which is generally not supported (no driver) with desktop computers. You will need to customize the installation image in this case to add the driver.

  • ESXi 5.5 build 2456374 is unable to reconnect to the vcenter after reboot

    Hello

    Have been hitting my head against it for the past few weeks. A host that has worked very well to a previous 5.5 build fails to reconnect to the vcenter after reboot once upgraded to build the 2456374. This also happens to the newly built guest. When a reconnection is started manually, it produces up to 80% (data of the host processing), then dies with a "general system error: internal error. I tried to remove the vpxa account, resetting the config network via the console, Cup NIC of the vswitch, removal of additional interfaces vkernel. The network via the console configuration reset allows me to reconfigure the net and tie vcenter and complete the host host configuration. However, as soon as I restart the host, is no longer, it reconnects to vcenter and I'm back where I started.

    Unfortunately, this is not a 100% event. If I rebuild a host enough times, one of the new buildings will finally works correctly.

    any ideas on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    QUESTION REOLVED!

    Ok. so that was the easy part. Open a folder with vmware to identify the cause for this. After much digging, friction, pull hair, we found a clue in the hostd.log on the ESXi host.

    2015-04 - T 02, 04: 49:05.481Z [23381 B 70 error 'Hostsvc.NetworkProvider' user opID=HB-host-185064@917-1d029f4d-d2 = vpxuser] an error occurred during extraction of stack instance configuration: incompatible value of ccalgo for the Netstack instance: defaultTcpipStack.

    In my network performance test I did recently, I have significantly improved network iSCSI performance from the cubes NewReno network congestion control algorithm. For each of these hosts, as part of the installation procedure I now set the control algorithm of congestion on cube through the web interface. Finally, it is a little bug with that VMware believed fixed. Is not.

    To confirm doubling you encounter this problem, connect to the host (ssh or remote cli) and run the following command:

    list of esxcli ip network netstack

    You should get a message saying that there is an inconsistency in the netstack configuration.

    To fix, run the following command:

    esxcli network ip put netstack defaultTcpipStack cubic n - c

    the netstack from above list command should now display detailed information and will now be able to connect to vcenter.

    If I understand correctly, an article will be published on this in the near future.

    Go to/var/core. You will find the dump files named vmkernel - zdump.x.

    The first part of this file is readable, more party to the end step.

    Look for the the CMTF stack dump it.

    For example, search for BlueScreen.
