Card mother ASUS and VMWare ESX 4.0

Could someone install ESX 4 on an ASUS P5E WS Professional motherboard model? I tried to get a clean work install but no luck. I use RAID to recognize 2 partitions. I can't even ends the installation when it CMTF on me. I read someone turn off ACPI but you disable all interrupts the CPU and he's going nowhere in it. The version of BIOS ASUS is 1101; Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.66 Ghz, 4 GB DDR-2 800 Mhz.

If you have been able to get a clean install, please let me know.

Thank you

I hold at this stage to ESXi 4.1... Since there will be another version of ESX go ahead (4.1 is the final version) you might as well get on ESXi now. In addition, there is no ESX, ESXi upgrade path. So if you want to install the next version (assuming that you can get the equipment to work for the next version), you will need to perform a complete reinstallation.

You could also install ESXi 4.1 on a USB flash drive to avoid the hard drive problems (where lives of ESXi) on your installation. I managed to install ESXi 4.1 on 4 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive (model SDZC6-4096). I installed ESXi 4.0 on a 2GB SanDisk Cruzer Titanium (SDCZ3-2048) flash drive. More recent variants same lines should give good results. You can get the latest version (SDCZ36 - 004G - A11) 4 GB disk for<$10 on="" newegg...="" i="" would="" avoid="" using="" cheap="" branded,="" or="" non-major="" branded,="" flash="" drives="" (kingston,="" crucial,="" corsair,="" lexar="" are="" good).="" i="" would="" also="" go="" with="" their="" high="" performance="" models,="" to="" ensure="" that="" you're="" not="" setting="" yourself="" up="" for="">

What drives do you actually use inside this box? I have seen that make a difference too, not just the controller.

  • First time with a card mother OEM and try to find the drivers

    Hello world

    This is a new game for me, the world of OEM motherboards. I just realized that a certain type of motherboard a motherboard manufacturer can have all sorts of variations when performed as an OEM Board for the likes of HP.

    I have just acquired an old Pentium 4 motherboard. Now, before your eyes start to roll, I am is not a cheapskate here and in fact need this type of motherboard, not a sign of bang dual core or quad wiz who actually do not work with my software. It is so why I am persevering with a print like this.

    It's an Asus P4SD - Rev 1.06

    3 pci slots

    1 agp slot

    4 usb ports

    1 firewire port

    1 ethernet port

    1 PS/2 mouse port

    1 PS/2 keyboard port

    4 memory DIMM slots (some computers HP with this Council have only 2 DIMM slots)

    Built No. taken in vga (seems some versions of this Council have built in graphics)

    So not knowing what HP computer that came out I cannot locate the correct drivers. As far as Asus goes, this card is not listed on there pilot site.

    Y at - there no way to know what HP PC came this motherboard?

    See you soon,.

    Keith.

    On the issue of SATA - if the installation disc that serves as an integrated SATA drivers then then this might explain it.  WinXP on its own did not include them, but some have them slipstreamed into the installation. Either that or the BIOS was set to emulate the IDE interface for easy installation.

    Thank you for your enthusiasm and ambition, but the problem is going to be the best motherboard to use nVidia GeForce 9200 video which is old and not very strong and the system tops out at 4 concerts which is not a lot of RAM these days. The parts you want will not be very expensive, largely because they are outdated and not very useful.

    But if you have to pay for the labor to do this, it will be unaffordable.

    I know that people grow attached to their laptops, but if you want to get your up-to-date computing power, it is the time to buy a new laptop. If you want to continue to move forward, after return, we can help you find the parts you need. It is likely that will have to be eBay; HP no longer the motherboard in stock that I am sure.

  • Replaced the card mother zd8000 and need a hand, help please...

    Hi all

    I just replaced the motherboard on our HP zd8000 (pentium 4 3.0 ghz, 2 GB ram, Win XP) with an opportunity tested but good MB and need help with the following.

    (1) I cannot play DVD movies as the error 'no dvd decoder' present which was not a problem before now?  Where can I get a free decoder that works as Windows displays only paid versions?  We have the drive to dvd with lightscribe. SOLVED! CNET has DECODER.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) internal temperature, according to SpeedFan, revolves around 140 degrees with just surfing the Internet.  Is this a normal temperature because I have only one of the three fans running on the laptop?  Is in any case to all the three fans running to be sure there is no problem?  I'm positive, I plugged everything but still once a single fan seems to work?

    (3) I discovered that some of the pins were damaged in the card reader.  I can get the seller to give me a discount, not intend to tear apart just for it, but is there the concerns of short or otherwise?

    (4) our battery arrested charge years ago, these were known as such, but I bought a new one last year and hope that the replacement MB would load it again.  No luck though.  Can I do, update of BIOS etc, in order to make the battery charge?

    (5) whatever it is you people can think for me to test to make sure the new motherboard is working correctly?

    Thank you, Ralph

    PS, It's a replacement card correct according to the serial numbers of MB.  Everything seems to work properly except mentioned.  Our graphics came out on the original MB.

    Some of the sons had grown out of the harness that connected the two other fans.  I double checked and replaced these so now the laptop works quite a bit cooler.

    EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO!

  • Model of card mother T7500 and configuration of the controller RAID LSI 1068e

    Hi, I just bought a T7500 workstation I would get around mid-December. Because of current prices for HARD drive storage, I decided to go with the 500 GB basic disk up to HEALING of Thailand. Thus, I am limited to basic integrated RAID controller. Because I am not familiar with the RAID configuration, etc. I wanted to read more before I dive in. The starting point would definitely find what was right for the Precision T7500 motherboard. Surprise! I can't find information anywhere. Even Dell people (3 different sales and support representatives) have not managed to tell me it's the Intel 5520 chipset (it looks that they believe that it is the motherboard model...). Well, I'm stuck. I would appreciate if someone could provide me with the model of motherboard and Special Edition, all information on the capabilities of the controller integrated RAID (LSI 1068e) would help me determine what drives should I plan to buy. In addition, one thing that is not clear to me what I inferred from the configuration on the website Wizard is the issue around disks > 2 TB. Of after I read it, I was not able to determine whether the problem was related to the simple readers > 2 TB or if it was related to the management of a storage space > 2 TB (which could be composed of several readers less than 2 TB). What I have in mind (remember that I do not have the machine right now) is to 4 X 1 TB drives in a RAID 0 + 1 (which I'm not sure that the integrated controller supports) configuration that will result in the storage of 2 GB mirrored. The operating system is Win 7 64 bit. Thanks in advance for any info that will help me to prepare my setup (buy hard drives, if I can find cheap ones) and find information on the configuration of the RAID. MrBricole

    I'm sure the T7500 uses an Intel Server Board (since this chipset is located on the Intel site under its motherboards, Dell is essentially correct, even if they didn't know why), but it doesn't matter in the context of your question, because the '' integrated '' RAID controller is not actually on the Board.  It's a card (called "integrated" only because it has a slot on this machine).  Because the functionality of the RAID controller is not on the Board of Directors, Board info will not help you.  Everything you need to know about your Council and the entire system, you can get the T7500 manual.  SAS 6/iR (LSI 1068e) RAID controller information can be found here:

    NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

    The SAS 6/iR will not support more than 2 TB of drives, or it will support more than 2 TB of virtual disks.

    It will also only supports RAID 0 OR RAID 1 OR both, but not together (not levels no RAID nested as RAID 10 or 0 + 1).

    So with four 1 TB drives, you can easily do two RAID 1 (called integrated mirror in the controller BIOS CTRL-C)... or you can do two 2-drive RAID 0 (Stripe called integrated in the controller BIOS CTRL-C)... or you can run mode non-RAID, with four individual discs in the operating system.  With this controller, those are your only options with four 1 TB drives.

    If you want / need more features RAID (nested RAID, 2 TB of the VFD above, on board levels, cache, etc.), you must upgrade to the PERC 6 / i.

    Do not buy office records class... Make sure you get enterprise-class drives.  If you decide at some point to go with PERC, not only enterprise class disks will be fundamentally necessary, but certified records would be strongly recommended for stability and performance.

    What is the best CPU upgrade, and what I need to improve my diet.

    ddmcjr45 wrote: what is the best upgrade CPU and what I need to improve my diet.

    Hello ddmcjr45, here is the link for the specifications of your system. It shows that the system was delivered with a 300 Watt power supply.

    It also shows that the system supports these upgrades of the processor.

    Intel Core 2 Quad (Y) Q9xxxx

    Intel Core 2 Duo (W) E8xxx

    Intel Core 2 Quad (K) up to Q6600

    Core 2 Duo E6x00 (C) until E6700

    Core 2 Duo E4x00 (C) until E4400

    According to the video card you have now, or maybe an upgrade later, I suggest at least a power of 500 watts or more, only for spare capacity.

  • Mix of ESX 3.5 and VMware ESX in the same cluster

    Hello

    I'm currently involved in ESX 3.5 Migrating virtual machines to a new vSphere environment.  All ESX 3.5 hosts running on obsolete kit and will be decomm had at the end of the project.  All hosts are managed by the same server vCenter.

    The only problem is, I have to add an additional ESX4 server, but there is not enough available physical switch ports.  I have decomm one ESX3.5 servers in order to free ports, but they run at 2 knots, and I will lose redundancy if a hardware problem arises.

    My proposed Solution: -.

    I think decomming ESX3.5 host 1 and move it to the new vSphere cluster.  The type of brand/model/CPU is different between the old and the new servers and I am not concerned by VMs DRS'ing between 2 environments, however, I understand that I have would be protected by HA if anything disastrous happened.  All hosts are connected to the same storage.

    You don't see any problem with that?

    You can have a mixed cluster, but this must be managed by vCenter 4.x.

    And you also need a license for the former hosts of 3.x server.

    HA will work.

    If the CPU is compatible VCA, then as VMotion, DRS, VCA will work.

  • Laptop card mother size and structure question

    Here of another question, I have acer aspire 4755g, and in this series, they have a lot of different types of processor but it still have the same shape and design. If I want to replace my old motherboard with a motherboard latest and modernized, my old one so intel i5 and gt540m 1 GB of ram, I want to replace it with the new motherboard coming with i7 and gt540m 2 GB of ram, I checked that the motherboard was of the same type in terms of chipset and version in some of the series of line acer4755g , so what worries me is that I'm afraid if I use the new motherboard does not correspond to my laptop, I want to say I'm afraid that the alignment of the screw will not be the same in my laptop, so I need some, it will be ok if I just buy the new motherboard for my laptop? has anyone have the same problem as me? anyone ever change their motherboard with a newer version and it can still work perfectly?

    It's me again!

    The Aspire 4755 G comes in 4 colors: Brown, black, red and green.

  • How to replace the card mother, processor and memory in my office without having to buy a new code for Win 7 Utimimate detail?

    In January, my original motherboard died and I replaced the jury only with other printed device using all my old components. When I started to the top of the first time I was warned that my version of Win7 is not valid. (I had used since I bought it in August 2010 without any problem) So I bought a new Windows 7 Ultimate full retail Microsoft online to get going again. Now, 3 months later, it's blue, screening and stop randomly. The Board of Directors, the memory and cpu are all about 7 years and I want to update the new and updated components. How can I do this without having to spend another $207 for a new copy of Windows 7?

    When you transfer the license to a new motherboard, reactivate just by phone, as you said that it is a full commercial license:

  • Card mother Asus P5BV-M - Raid support?

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone has used this before motherboard?  Discussions say it is supported, but still when I tried to install ESXi 3.5 (have not tried 4.0 yet) it shows the two discs.  The manual support for RedHat, but I guess I have to do something else in order to install the drivers for the raid etc.

    Sorry for the stupid question, of ideas?

    Kevin

    ESXi has only supported hardware RAID, so you no longer have access to separate drives. You can view the hardware compatibility list for supported RAID cards.

  • Licenses of Microsoft and VMware data center

    Hello

    You have a question regarding Microsoft Licensing and VMware ESX hosts.

    We have a Microsoft School Agreement and a lot of our windows servers are running standard edition. One is business running. All about the physical servers.

    We are virtualizing some of our Windows servers and schools prices are very favourable if we buy a license of data center. Its about £70 and it means that we can run an unlimited number of Microsoft server VM in VMware. relation to the enterprise which is only £5 cheaper, but only allows you to run a maximum of 4 people.

    Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

    If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

    Thank you

    > Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

    Fix.

    License from Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to run with Virtualization Technologies

    Page 13:

    Instead of license servers with enough licenses Windows Server 2008 Standard to satisfy the greatest number of simultaneously running instances of Windows Server, the processors in servers could be allowed with Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition. This would allow an unlimited number of instances of Windows Virtual Server to run simultaneously in operating systems. Because the servers have two processors, two licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition for each server should be. Licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition provides the flexibility to move instances of Windows Server without concern to maintain the license compliance.

    > If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

    Anton is correct - Datacenter license covers only the OS Server.

  • Error 0X0000007E Stop after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    Original title: Stop error after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    After I installed a new motherboard and CPU I got a stop error 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XB77EA756, 0XB84C742C, 0xB84C7128) and it restarted immediately. It always starts in safe mode, but I can't understand what is wrong. The old processor is a pentium 4 3 ghz, not sure what the motherboard was, new processor is AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 4200 + and I only know that the motherboard is an ASUS socket AM2. Device Manager does not recognize the CPU correctly, it shows just two entries called processor. As far as I can tell, it's almost certainly a driver issue, but I don't know how to diagnose or fix this. I am running windows XP home, I removed my video card, running 2 hard drives at 120 g (M) and 200 g (S), a DVD drive (M) and a reader of CD (S), and a stick of RAM to 1 GB.

    If you have made the change without having to reinstall XP, you will be taking and Pray H@ll. the best thing to do would be to reinstall XP and make sure you have the drivers available for your motherboard available so that you can update the installed chipset. In addition, be aware that if you have an OEM of Windows version, the license is dead when you changed the mother/CPU card.

    I hope this helps.
