chipset nForce 4 on machine ESX

Hi all

Directly to the company the Board in question has GA-MCP61PM-S2 and 3c905 3Com NIC series.

I have two specific problems with ESX 3.5 installation. I have install with what looks like a support installing card - module 3Com 3c90x loads and NIC is implemented as vmnic1 (but not as eth0). eth0 is pretty fun as well though - and this is my second problem noted below.

After that the installation of the adapter status ' Down 'for ESX but in ifconfig it shows as upward again no LAN communication cannot be made. "

It's a little strange and me being don't not an expert on * UX systems is not helping either. Is there a way to check that I need another module maybe or the problem is somewhere else? Please help in this matter even if it is a ultra basic command where I can check the necessary exact module

Second question is this:

I have install ESX assign IP present on my network DHCP, vmnic1's up, vswif0 returns with bind MAC address to vmnic1 (as I understand it architecture of ESX) - 3Com is not working.

I have nForce chipset with a SATA drive and I followed the procedures of modification pciid - who did my bootable system.

I've read several times during my research that Onboard LAN is not supported, but that's not true. lspci lists control supported xml pciid when compared with the file.

When I present 3Com AND write ifup eth0 it evokes the card on board! I get dhclient (previously created a reservation on the DHCP server for this card) with SAME IP address map vmnic1 form, there are a few errors, but the map begins to work! Web server works (NO UI nut), I download the client and it connects.

I have created a store of data on the host as well on the SATA drive.

So he IS supported through forcedeth, but probably there is a naming convention that brings the card incorrectly. In addition, I don't see the eth0 (edge Nvidia) card as the physical card.

When I try to add atleast 3Com as a physical card, I get a strange error that 'esxcfg-boot - i performed well, but instead of 0, he got the value 255." I have no idea whatsoever what that meanss so if someone could explain in basic terms what it means and where to look for help to address this issue.

Finally and most importantly, I would at least like to have this up and Dhclient eth0 run automatically so I can connect to SC/ssh, even in this type of configuration (mis) where no other problem can be solved, so I can finally he plug away from my main monitor

P.S. I hope someone can make heads and tails in this post

ESX uses Linux for the installer but the vmkernel that starts is not Linux, so the problem is that 3com does not work with the vmkernel.

What is the PCI id for the other NETWORK adapter?

  • Cloning machines ESX + vSphere 4.0

    Recently installed ESX 4.0 + vSphere Essentials 4.0 and now trying to clone a machine.

    According to the docs, the "Clone" option should appear in the Summary tab, window commands .  Unfortunately, the Clone is not an option.

    Orders only what I see in the window are Power On and change the settings.

    I am connected to vSphere as an Aministrator, so I think I should have all the necessary permissions.

  • With the help of converter to create on a local disk, not datastore ESX ESX machines?

    Is it possible to create conversions of machine ESX local/off line without sending them to a machine ESX?  Selection of a type of machine virtual infrastructure does not allow me to save the files locally, only connect to an ESX Server.

    I have an ESX machine off site and cannot do the conversion to the ESX machine due to the limitations of bandwidth.

    I did this conversion of computer VMWare Server 2.x registered on a local drive and then converting again when I am on the site with the destination ESX.  It works, but its faster to FastSCP data off the USB drive only in order to re-run the converter.  Backup/DR purposes, it would be also good to know that I had the machines I had converted 'ready to go' format ESX without having to re - convert.

    > Is it possible to create conversions of machine ESX local/off line without sending them to a machine ESX? Selection of a type of machine virtual infrastructure does not allow me to save the files locally, only connect to an ESX Server.

    No, you must select a destination ESX and vCenter to create a virtual machine that is specifically compatible with ESX.

    Unless you use something like VCB (who still works a backup and restore process), it is probably the best way to do it.  If you select your output for VMware Server 1.x, the "nearest neighbour" of ESX.  Then you have a few extra options like http://kb.vmware.com/kb/900/

  • HP continues to ship the defective 6 Intel chipsets to customers after the recall.

    Something people should be aware of is that HP has set up a 'solution' that isn't really a solution.  I had a QE DV7T (number of product XN093AV) who ordered in January.  The laptop has been affected by the issue of chipset and after one month of checking back with service customer HP I have finally told me they had a resolution and I could trade my machine for one with the newly revised chipset.  The replacement machine was delivered to me in mid-March, it was the number of identical product (XN093AV) and contained the same faulty chipset.

    Some experience for those who do not know the chipset issue.  Intel has launched a recall of their 6 series (cougar point) southbridge chipset designed for use with the second generation core i-series "sandybridge" CPU.  Among the functions of the chipset is the interface for SATA controller for storage devices.  The chipset handles 6 SATA ports, 2 to 6 Gbps and 4 to 3 Gbps.  It's the 3 Gbps ports that are affected by the design flaw which can lead to errors of data to an attached storage device.  Mobile version of this chipset Intel is called HM65 and progression (version) of the chipset with the problem is "B2".  Intel has implemented a solution of silicon and released a new "B3" progression that is not the problem.  However, Intel has continued to ship the affected "B2" step by step to the manufacturers for applications where 6 Gbps ports would be used as they are not affected by the design flaw.

    Back to "Fix" of HP - my original machine had the wrong "B2" stepping chipset HM65 with a hard drive connected to a 6 GB/s and an optical drive connected to one of the 3 defective Gbps ports.  The replacement machine, I received also had the same "B2" stepping HM65 chipset with both drives now connected to 6 Gb/s ports.  Unfortunately, this is not an acceptable solution on at least two fronts.  First of all, in addition to the disk hard main bay and the optical drive Bay, this particular 17.3 inch laptop has a secondary hard drive Bay.  Regardless, I bought an SSD that I intend to install plus readers installed at the factory.  This requires the use of a third port that should have been one of the 3 defective Gbps ports.  In addition, the laptop also has an e-SATA connector to connect external drives that I intend to use for backups.  I didn't check this, but as the main hard drive and the optical drive consume only two working ports it goes without saying that the e-SATA connector is connected to one of the faulty ports.

    After about 5 hours of being tossed around in the customer service Sub HP and said there is nothing wrong with my machine, they agreed to Exchange once again for one of the DV7T QE newly released (number of product XW899AV) models, which I hope will have the 'B3' stepping chipset HM65.  I have not yet received, so I can't verify whether or not the new product has the same problem.  I'll post when I get it.

    This affect you?  You can determine what capacity the chipset you have by running CPU - Z, a utility system free and widely approved, available at www.cpuid.com.  Select the mainboard tab and watch your chipset revision.  If you have the "B2" step by step and you plan to use more than two SATA devices at the same time you might have a problem.  The following link gives an overview your hp options.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02712015

    I want to clarify that the answer to FAQ # 2 is definitely false.

    HP continues to make products with the affected Intel chipset?


    Lol HP stopped manufacturing products with Intel technology and queued expedition on products in stock HP and channel.

    Good luck.

    There are motherboards with the update 'B3' stepping chipset appearing as "B2" in CPU - Z.  Given that I don't have the laptop in question, I can't physically inspect the chipset.  I withdraw my statement because there is no way to prove whether what version of the chipset has been deployed to this machine.

    The following link provides another method of identification stepping chipset:

    http://News.Softpedia.com/news/how-to-find-out-if-your-Sandy-Bridge-motherboard-is-affected-by-Intel-s-SATA-bug-182252.shtml

    If anyone has a replacement XN093AV machine, perhaps they can post their findings.

    If for no other reason than not having to bear the XN093AV trackpad buttons (or lack thereof), I am always happy, they have accepted the return and will replace the machine with a XW899AV.  Not to mention the free graphics HD 6770 m, webcam HD and USB 3.0 card upgrade.

  • CB, VC or ESX management failure will affect the billing for this period?

    Hello

    Another question is if CB, CR or ESX management failure will affect the billing.

    Lets say CB is down for several hours.

    VC may be down.

    ESX could lose management while continue to run virtual machines.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    When you add a vCenter to the CB, there will be a data collector pointing to the DB of the vCenter.

    CB, settings it is a JOB - synchronization of the Stats, this work comes when you add Stats enable replication when adding vCenter, this job will run every 30 minutes by default. It is a work of data collector that pulls information in the DB vCenter to each use of 30 minutes, the virtual machine, ESX, consumption.

    vCenter fails or when the failure of ESX vcenter - then I believe that no information is written to the DB vCenter, where the CB loses information and billing can be affected and there may be loss of money.

    Yet once there will be loss only if you go "REAL consumption of CPU/Mem or disc etc.

    If the costing model is "Fixed" or "Founded allowance", then according to the date that the costing are measured and not a problem in this case.

    If the CB goes down then there is nothing to be disturbed, beak Stats job can run again to collect back the news from vCenter DB.

  • migration of VM esx in suspended state while

    Hello world

    I had a problem that I'm stuck here, please let me know that it is urgent for me.

    one of my ESX3.5 was hung (agent pass has been suspended and is not at all reboot and shutdown) State and suddenly HA and DRS also does not work on this machine ESX.

    So in this case how can I migrate the virtual machines that are in this esx to another.

    Thanks in advance.

    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,

    As long as your host do not meet your needs, it will be impossible to move your virtual machines a gentle manner.

    The only way is to stop your guests inside the OS, restart them on other host and restart your ESX problem.

    Good luck!

  • ERROR: this version of esx requires a processor capable of 64-bit operation

    Kindly help to provide entries:

    I have a DELL Optiplex 760 that supports VT that is enabled.

    I tried to install directly ESX 4.0 and has been able to do successfully.

    However, I have tried to format and installed Windows 7 and then installed VM Workstation 7.

    When I tried to create a virtual machine (ESX), it gives me an error "this version of esx requires a 64-bit capable processor."

    Any advise?

    ESX 4 requires no VT she requires only a 64-bit processor.  Your physical processor is sufficient.  (Note, however, that you would be able to run the 32-bit clients.)

    Workstation 7 requires however VT virtualization features 64-bit processor.  Since you don't have VT, the virtual processor in Workstation 7 is a 32-bit processor.

  • How to get iSCSI SAN connected to ESX when the SAN is on a different subnet?

    Hi all

    I have two machines ESX which are directly connected to a San that are on a different subnet other network cards.  Other network cards are 10.x.x.x and the SAN is on 172.16.x.x, however whenever I try to add the iSCSI storage, the system will never find the LUN.  I put the vmkernel 172.16.x.x but it does not always find them.  I know that the LUNS are configured correctly if its ESX just having problems with the other subnet.

    You need to activate the Service Console to see the iSCSI SAN, too. This is because you use the initiator software. For example, you can add a second SC in the vSwitch that your VMKernel Port is connected and align on the same subnet.

    Kind regards

  • Can someone direct me to resources on how you get TWO esx servers to the same storage array?

    Hi all

    I use:

    2 x Compaq DL380 G2 with 5i

    cards controller 5300 AND attached to the base storage Bay

    STORAGEWORKS ENCLOSURE 4354R RM DOUBLE PORTS U3 (not yet pregnant

    compatibility list).

    The first server appears to see the good in the console of the virtual server storage Center.  The second server will see s for only its own storage room tho.  How do both to see and use the same storage.  The concept is new to me, but trying to learn.  Is there something I need to see the same storage in the virtual Center for TWO machines esx Server?  All IM just not in the right place?  Thank you.

    http://communities.VMware.com/thread/78873 was a previous thread on this can enlighten us. Looks like the 4354R has the bus is divided into 2 x 7 disks and each connector in the back can 'see' 1 of the two buses. The quickspecs (http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10624_div/10624_div.html) refer to "... allows access to two areas of storage separated from two different servers. So the first "thing" would be to get two buses attached together inside the unit so that the two connectors on the back see all readers, you must get the endpoint SCSI disabled on the device (you want termination on each 'end' of the cable that is two SCSI adapters in the servers).

    While you might be able to get the 4354R shared between the two ESX hosts, you can also get all the benefits of the shared disk + the possibility of vMotion, etc. by implementing the 4354R known as iSCSI or NFS storage. It also swings you back to something that is 'supported '. To do this, you have two approaches

    1. Fix 4354R on one of the ESX boxes, create a virtual machine that has access to the entire disk on the 4354R and run something like OpenFiler in the virtual machine to 'share' the disk via NFS or iSCSI

    2. Set up a 3rd server if you have one available and run the version of "bare metal" OpenFiler, or install Linux or OpenSolaris distribution and configure NFS and/or iSCSI target.
