• Cannot install VMware ESXi 4.1 "cannot find the image of the installed system.

  Started in iso ESXi 4.1 downloaded, burned on a CD, CD, go to the screens, press F11 to install.  Immediately get the following error:

  -

  The installation operation failed!

  The installation operation encountered a fatal error:

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

  The material is a system of handcrafted with Intel DQ35JO Council, latest version of the BIOS, Intel E6850 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 2 SATA drives.  I know this isn't on the list compatible but is a 'white box '.  I installed ESXi 3.5 on it in the past and got it working, and I saw other success stories with this Board/CPU.  Yes, I have activated the virtualization mode in the BIOS and powered down/up.

  Here is what I tried:

  -Redownload VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0 - 260247.x86_64.iso to ensure that it was not corrupt (2 copies, against perfectly)

  --Also tried another drive (IDE) CDROM

  -Created a bootable USB using uNetBootin 4.7.1 and booted from it

  -Switched SATA setting in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE

  I get the same exact error.  I searched here and everywhere and don't find any reference to this error.

  Help - all do you offer for my next step?

  Have you had a previous vSphere installed on your system?

  I had the same error on my 'white box' (in fact, it is black).  I used to run esxi 4.0 (u2) on my Acer X 3300 (6 GB, Quad Core AMD Athlon II).  Controllor internal SATA is not supported, but it allows me to use the box for normal windows task and ESXi is sitting on a SDHC 4 GB flash card.

  When I started my freshly burned ESX4.1 cdrom, I got the same error.   I thought that the fact that maybe there was an existing install on my destination drive (the flash memory card), and that the CD could not perform an upgrade.

  So, I tried the upgrade path (first trying to utility of the host and the .xml error message).  After reading the manual, I did the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 using the device of vMA and I must say that esxi 4.1 works great on my white box.

  Then I suggest that you try upgrading and see how far that gets you.

  Good luck (and a beautiful weekend)

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.

  How do I solve the problem

  Looks like you are using a (HP) custom vSphere ESXi installation ISO. Replace with one (not customized) directly from VMWare.

• Cannot install VMWare Player, workstation or anything like that

  All appear to be the same way with a message like:

  

  However I've checked that the file exists and that I can access. What is the problem?

  I had VMWare Player 6.0.5 and could not install/update VMWare tools. So, I suspended my operating system prompted and rebooted VMPlayer. He told me that there is a new VMWare Workstation something 10.x and I wanted to upgrade to it. Okay, of course. Downloaded the update and tried to install. Said to uninstall VMWare Player 6.0.5. Being suspicious, I went and downloaded VMWPlayer 6.0.5 where he screwed up the installation of Workstation 10.0. Of course, he did. So I tried to install Player 6.0.5 so I could return to my suspended VM. In my opinion, what he said that I could not install because I haven't restarted. So I rebooted. Now, I can't install Player 6.0.5 or Workstation 10.0.0 or whatever it is. They all fail on the same way saying the cannot find a .msi file I can find and access.

  Help!

  BTW, you guys have far too much product and names making it confusing. What should I use? Player? Workstation? Spear? vCenter, Fusion. The list goes on and. Do not try to give me the list of "well it's for this reason and this other thing". The point is there are too many products and it is too complicated. If you want to tell me what the structure of the product is just limit it to the product I should use. I have a Windows 7 box and you want to run Ubuntu in a VM desktop - that's all...

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Please note that this is a forum for peer support and therefore, it is mainly users of VMware help other VMware users who make up the bulk of this forum. It is VMware employees responding in time in time, but in your case here (Note: VMware employees are recognizable because they have a small 'vm' next to their name logo)

  With regard to your current number. If you install VMware Workstation, then you have also installed VMware Player next.

  Even after the expiry of VMware Workstation, you can continue to use the free VMware Player.

  Hope this helps,

• Cannot install VMWare tools on first installation of VMW Player for Windows

  Y at - it a tip to install VMWare Tools on VMW Player for Windows.  Tried as a Player 7.1.1 and 6.0.5.

  I downloaded the "darwin" and "windows versions" of tools with version management for versions of reader (for Player 6.05 6.05 tools).  But I don't know how to get VMWare to see downloaded files.  I connected the darwin.iso in the folder of the payload for the CD/DVD drive under settings of the virtual computer.

  I always get a dialog box with this message when I select install VMWare Tools in the menu:

  "Cannot find component on the update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator. »

  If you have the appropriate iso image attached to the guest, you have no need to use the "Install VMware Tools" menu - it's all that.  Go to comments and run the installation from the CD-ROM drive.

• Just installed vmware ESXi 4.0.0.  Also have Workstation 6.5 I have a few questions here...

  Good day, I am new and vmware esxi virtualization in general...

  I installed the server esxi 4.0. and I want to welcome a few virtual machines on this server. I tried the ViCLient and really like it. But this customer is a 60 day trial and it costs $ 1,000 per license, if I understand correctly...

  I also have the Vmware workstation 6.5 software.

  My main goal for this is to be able to import and export on the esxi virtual machines, create snapshots, export these snapshots, etc... I'm not too familiar with Workstation 6.5 so, but so far, it does the job in terms of export and imprting vms from the ESXi. But I would like to be able to browse the data store, create virtual machines on the esxi without having to create them locally AND export to ESXi...

  I would like to be able to create, manage, copy, create and import/export snapshots, to/from the esxi, but I guess you can't do all this using VmWare Workstation? I would buy the Vsphere CLient, but I'm not one who has a hand on the budget of COMPUTING...

  When you access download ESXi you license number appears near the top of the page. Enter this number in the Configuration tab under license vSphere client.

• How to install vmware esxi 5.5 on ucs220 M3

  Hi Member,.

  I have this in my lab

  UCS 220 M3 with hardward raid:

  CISCO UCS RAID SAS 2008 M - 8i: PID UCSC-RAID-MZ-C220

  Mezzanine

  4 internal

  NO.

  0, 1, 1E, 10

  4 discs: 1 mini SAS (UCSC-3)

  I'm trying to install VMWARE ESXi5.5 on it, while installation work perfectly fine, but the server could not start from where vmware is installed.

  Any help will be appreciated on how to go about the installation and the creation of a part of the bios initialization.

  Thank you

  When you press F6, you see the RAID controller that is listed as a boot option?

  Can we go to the MMIC BIOS configuration, Advanced tab and check the Option ROM (OPROM) this controller is activated?

  So useful, please note

• Cannot install VMware Tools on Windows 10

  Having trouble installing VMware Tools on a Win10 business VM (vSphere 5.5). Installation lance then anything beyond that never reports. Is there something special that needs to be done to make this work?

  -Thank you

  Also have installed the Update Manager plugin that reports the status of inconsistent compliance.

  When you install the tools, you choose the Interactive installation or the Automated one?

  Try the Interactive installation instead.

  I also have a second comment from Andrew on Firewall/Antivirus possibly block Setup.  Try turning it off.  In addition, you may have to disable UAC.
