Cannot install esx 4 on 4 TB sata raid

I just upgraded to all readers on a server that had esx4 installed from 1 TB and 4 TB. Now I can not install exs4 on it.

I cannot select volume using the installation program.  Am I missing something?

Thank you

Marcelo Rizzo

You need to divide you RAID at several smaller 2 TB volumes each

  • Cannot install esx 4.1 under raid 5 with 2.7 TB hard drive

    Hello

    I've been tring install esx 4.1 to IBM 3650 server with Raid-MR10i server with raid 5. 6 x 600 GB hard drive

    When it come to selec-hdd it shows the hard drive, but cannot select them.

    but this does not happen with esxi 4.1 for esxi 5.0. and also if I tried with 4x600GB hard disk drive is active and I can install esx 4.1

    any ideas. IWAS tring to understand her for the last two days

    Thanks in advance

    My thoughts

    The maximum supported size of the LUN in vSphere 4.x is 2 TB

    It is why ESX 4.1 can't install TB LUN 2.7, but can be downloaded on the 1.8 to

    ESXi installation is different because it uses only a small partition of the large LUN and do not create a data store

    You will see after installation you probably woun't be able to create a VMFS data with the remaining space store, because it is longer than 2 TB on ESXi4

    Please allow points to useful/correct answers.

    SATA driver problem.

    Please help me...!

    Answer me

    Hello

    Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install on the laptop with SATA HDD controller.
    Driver SATA can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.

    I advise to use nLite program to include a SATA driver in the new Windows XP CD, then boot from the XP CD created new.
    You will find details of the nLite:

    With regard to the problem of Server SQL;
    You may be able to install in Windows XP. There may be a compatibility problem between Vista and SQL Server software

  • Problems installing Windows Vista on a p9x79 pro raid setup.

    I'm trying to load Vista in raid0 on 2 WD 1 TB SATA 6 gb hd black
    I have an asus p9x79 pro MB with the latest bios. 3.0.0.1184 OROM.
    Samsung sata dvd drive

    When Vista first starts loading he asks "a required cd/dvd drive device is missing. If you have a driver disk, cd, dvd or usb flash drive please insert it now.

    I used the flash drive I created with the asus dvd provided with Mo and he installed the 'Inter c600 series chipset sata raid controller' allowed the installation to continue.
    Then it asked for the product key, and then license, then type setup, where you want to install.

    At this stage there is no disk to install to so I click on "drivers" and select the c600 Intel a new, but still no disks.

    Here's the funny thing, when I try to load windows 7, it detects the disk in the screen "where you want to install" without having to load the c600 drivers again. He's right there. Win 7 loads fine if I skip the product key, but I know that won't last long.

    I need vista loading because my win 7 is an upgrade.
    I hope someone can help me with this.

    Thank you. Bob

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install XP and need drivers SATA

    Hello

    Just download IMSM, I did nLite but still cannot install XP.
    I need good Manager Intel Matrix Storage Manager to Intel Mobile Chipset 45 or the SATA drivers.

    Please help me

    Intel Storage Manager, you can download on the Intel Web site. In the Readme file, you can see what chipsets are supported, but as far as I know the package contains drivers for all of the newer chipsets.

    The easiest way if you have a floppy drive, you must download the Configuration utility from floppy on Intel sites. This creates a floppy disk with the drivers.

    Otherwise, you must extract the .exe file. More information you can find in the readme file.

  • Cannot install ESXi 4.1 on HP ML350 G6

    I'm not able to install ESXi 4.1 on my HP ML350 G6 server.  I have 2 Intel Xeon 5650processor w/6 hearts each, 16 GB memory, RAID 1 + 0 on HP Smart Array P410i controller channel with 6 X 300 GB SAS 10 K disks.  The DVD-ROM is SATA.  The boots just fine CD and get all the way to choose the disk to install it on, but it shows as a remote disc and when I proceed with the installation I get this message:

    The installation operation has encounterd a fatal error:

    Cannot find the image of the installed system. This is due to the image, not been correctly mounted the CD-ROM not supported.

    Curve ball.  I am able to install ESX 4.1 and was able to connect vSphere Client to configure the host.  Why no ESXi?

    I appreciate all the help, I tried as much as I know how.

    have you tried to mount the ISO through the ILO instead of using a physical disk? also check the MD5 of the download to make sure it is ok

  • Re: NB100-12: cannot install Windows XP

    I cannot install the operating system to start, for a clean installation, the cd boots and seems to start installation, drivers etc. start loadind
    Then before you get to the point "want install you windows page, an error message appears saying my HARD drive is damaged or has a virus?"

    Any ideas?

    I can't really help, but I see the same problem :( I tried XP, 2000 and server 2003 installation CD. Either I get the same message you saw, or Installer Blue-screens.

    I've seen it suggested elsewhere to change the SATA in the BIOS from AHCI to compatibility, but that does not help either.

    I have to admit, it's as if the Windows Installer has problems see the hard drive, but I don't know what to do about this. Install a different disk drive, maybe?

    On this forum, you can find a lot of discussion on the installation of Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models. What you need is driver SATA and it must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.

    I got a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disk created from computers, cell phones, but now cannot install a Realtek LAN driver for the laptop.

    The installation of the driver software program doesn't seem to work properly all the time, tried several times to install with only once a realtek 'repair' option becomes available.
    When I managed to install the driver I got an error "the device couldn't start. After restoring I also had problems with a "controller driver simple communication PCL.
    which seems to have been an Intel MEI according to the SAT, DEV info displayed in the information systems.

    If these problems are linked and how to install the driver required in an automated system if the system does not correctly detects hardware?

  • Cannot install windows XP on the Satellite Pro A200-1N2

    Jin

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. I downgraded the bios to V5.30 but still cannot install windows xp and there is still no optin for SATA in the bios.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Did you install the SATA drivers first?
    You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

    You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

    You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

  • Cannot install Windows XP on the Qosmio F50-108

    I got the Qosmio F50-108 with Vista.

    I dislike Vista so I tried to install XP.
    Unfrtunatelly, I get a BSOD every time XP takes over for the first time (startup). Usually, when there is a problem of sata, XP tells you while there's no HARD drive, but I do not get this message, I get a BSOD.
    I don't know why there is no support for XP in fact I know that Microsoft paid toshiba to stop supporting Windows XP.

    Is the thing that drives me crazy, YOU CAN INSTALL WIN XP ON EVERY APPLE COMPUTER MACINTOSH, but you can't do it with a Toshiba.

    I know that there is a possibility, I know that an update of the bios might help, but toshiba does not.
    Dear Sirs to Toshiba, I know you know what I have to do in order to get XP running on a Toshiba computer, so please, help me.

    Hi guys

    You can install XP on each laptop Toshiba. But you knew how! : D

    Your Windows XP CD must contain the SP2. This is important because the new laptops no matter which manufacturer need SP2 patches due to some hardware compatibility issues!
    Without the SP2, you will receive a BSOD!

    Then, the new notebooks support SATA drives hard and new SATA controllers!
    Windows XP and Vista operating systems do not contain the SATA drivers, and therefore you must include first before running the installer of the OS.
    Or you can disable the SATA in the BIOS. You will need to switch from AHCI to compatibility mode.

    Then, you must install the XP window successfully.

    So finally, I must say that I really don't understand these comments like this:
    > Is the thing that drives me crazy, YOU CAN INSTALL WIN XP ON EVERY APPLE COMPUTER MACINTOSH, but you can't do it with a Toshiba.
    OK, I see you're frustrated because you cannot install the operating system, but he must know that this is not a problem of laptop, but it is only a case or a knowledge!
    So maybe you should learn more about new technologies and you'll know how things are working. ;)

    To all here-> greetings & peace;)
