• 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.

• Cannot install ESXi 5.1 U1 or U2, error CPU_CORES

  
  Hello!

  I can't install ESXi 5.1 U1 or U2 on a Supermicro X10SLM + f motherboard with a quad-core Xeon-E3-1220 v3 CPU. It displays "ERROR CPU_CORES" claiming that I have only a single core and stops the installation. I was able to inject the drivers NIC to go beyond the failure of the 'no network adapter', but now I get this error of CPU.

  Someone at - it tried with this combination and has managed to install ESXi?

  Thank you for your time!

  Root cause found by Milton Cai to Supermicro tech support.

  Flash the BIOS to v2.0 was not completed correctly. Move the jumper to pins 2 and 3 JPME2 and re-flashing, then back to pins 1-2, fixed it.

• Cannot install ESXI 5.5 HP 3500 PRO series

  Dear all,

  Try to install ESXI on HP PRO 3500 MT series 5.5. Its gives me the following error.

  "NO network adapters have been detected.

  Can someone please help?

  Thank you
  Sriram Das A

  Im not saying there is a problem with your network adapter, its just ESXi does not have a suitable driver for it. IM assuming that you use Realtek RTL8171E gigabit ethernet (received this HP site). There was a blog post from Vladan Seget on how install driver 8169 vib. http://www.Vladan.fr/Realtek-8169-NICs-not-detected-under-ESXi-5-5/

  But once it comes to 8169. I'm not sure if there is a driver available for 8171 (8171and same 8169 is not in the list of VMware support)

• Cannot install ESXi 4.1 but can install ESXi 3.5

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600

  I tried to install ESXi 4.1, but it simply doesn't. Happens to step to show the points and keep the machine on reboot and it goes into a loop.

  I managed to install ESXi 3.5 that I thought that the machine does support 32 bit.

  There are some features I need on the 4.1 which are not included in the version 3.5 for example boot from .iso and also the 3.5 I think is no stable (dose of console does not display anything).

  As I am already running 3.5 I tried to do an upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1 in vain.

  Would be really appreciated any help.

  Thank you

  Hi, me too I have a Dell Poweredge 2600, I bought used about 4 years ago. The Intel Xeons that are only 32 bit so that they do not support vSphere.

• Desktop HP Envy 750qe: cannot install ESXI 6.0 on this server

  The specifications of the HP Envy 750qe desktop say nothing about the LAN card.  The motherboard is MS - 7826 Ver 2.0.
  There is a metal box closed covering the LAN and 2 accessories usb soldered to the motherboard.  Windows 10 indicates that the LAN controller is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.  I would like to know the chipset used for this LAN Controller without destroying the material.  I can't find a direct reference anywhere - Realtek, HP or otherwise.

  Thank you

• 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.

  It is possible that the optionROM for the integrated card is not activated.  Try to enable it in the BIOS, you can via the MMIC (see cimc_enable_optionrom) must attached. You also want to verify that this option gets enable in the bios.
  You can enter the bios by pressing f2 during boot (see BIOS_Option_ROM)

• Cannot install ESXi on MacPro 6.1 Firmware MP61.0116.B11 5.5u3

  Hey everybody,

  I have a Mac Pro 6.1 which has been recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 to have the latest version of the firmware MP61.0116.B11.  I know that VMware brand MP61.88Z.0116.B05 as their last.  On the download and the creation of a Setup ESXi bootable to prepare the Mac Pro all load and present me with Setup ESXi 5.5.0 but the system recognizes no any keyboard so I can't hit enter to continue the installation.  I tried a Dell USB keyboard and 2 Apple keyboards but no dice for either.  We took another 2013 Mac Pro in exactly the same configuration, but that has been bundled with 10.10.0 and probably has an older version of Rome.  Someone at - it ideas?

  It does not resemble a keyboard Bluetooth pairing allows him to work.

• UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

  Hello world

  I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

  In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

  Hoping someone could help me.

  Llianovich,

  Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

  I think that's what you run in:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2005793

  You cannot create a virtual machine to Mac OS X Client OS X 10.6 or earlier version. Apple doesn't allow these Client operating systems to be virtualized. With Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) from, Apple changed their licensing agreement with respect to virtualization. For more information about creating a virtual machine in Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), see installation of Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) as a VM in Fusion 4 (2005334). For more information about creating a virtual machine to Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), see installation of Cougar (OS X 10.8) Guest as an operating system in VMware Fusion 5 (2033778)

  Try again with a 10.7 and see if it works?
