Compatible version of ESXi for PowerEdge 860?

Are you looking for my current configuration of the virtual machine to a re-usable, configuration of the VM and I try to be on the latest version of ESXi who will consider my PE 860, and if there is anything in particular, I have to do to make it work.

I found the custom Dell ESXi files but I don't know if I should use these versions or just stick with a version of VMware.

Thank you.

ETA: PE 860 to the 1 x 2.4 GHz Xeon Dual Core and I'm only under a single SATA HDD inside SATA_0, can add another in a clean future.

Hello johnnydotexe

We have not validated the 860 for any version of VMware. I just searched and found messages from customers installing up to ESXi 5.0. There is not much difference between 5.0 and 5.5 latest about hardware compatibility, so I don't see a reason why you cannot install 5.5.

I suggest using our ISO custom. Even if we do not support VMware on the 860 many pilots are used across multiple products, so there may be drivers for the 860 material available on our drive.

Since this is not a validated configuration I suggest you be aware, there will likely be some quirks, and it is not recommended to run configurations not supported in a production environment.

Thank you

  • Should what Management Interface I use for the free version of ESXi

    I plan on the implementation of the free version of ESXi on a server with Intel VT technology.

    I have a management interface for my free version of ESXi.

    I was told by someone that I need to manage VSphere.

    I can just purchse VSphere and should be fully compatible with the free ESXi?

    If so, should what version of VSphere I buy?

    What are my alternatives to a manageable GUI that won't cost too much? (I intend to manage only 5 virtual machines on the ESXi server)

    Thanks in advance!

  • Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

    I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

    According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

    Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

    Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

    Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

    Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  _

    Micky

    Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

    Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

  • PowerEdge 860 - PERC RAID controller compatibility

    I would like to add RAID 1 functionality on a PowerEdge 860 server we have at the office.  I was unable to determine what is the Dell Reference number for the RAID controller for that server.

    Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?   Would the PERC 5 / i raid controller work?  If so, what model number of Dell is compatible.  As the PE860 has long been considered his retirement there is nothing from the Dell Web site.  Searching the Web I found not less of 6 different numbers of parts Dell for a PERC 5 / i controller.

    Thanks in advance if anyone can be useful.

    -Paolo

    Hello Paolo

    PF100
    Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?

    No, the only supported the internal RAID controller is the SAS 5/IR. The SAS 5/iR has no cache. The PERC 5 / I is not supported on the 860. The only controllers that contain cache are external controllers as the PERC 5/e.

    You might be able to get a PERC 5 / i for work on the server, but we have not posted it to the 860. There is not many versions of the PERC 5 / i, which have been released, so I'm pretty confident that most or all of the part numbers you have found work. Whenever we change something on a part given a new part number. For example, if we decide to start using another antistatic bag to ship the PERC 5 / i in then we would give him a new part number.

    You can see here the valid controllers. The 860 is displayed on the inheritance tab:

  • Mixed versions of ESXi cluster

    We started a project driver Nvidia GRID with our VDI. We have a cluster of three servers with two IBM x 3650 M3 and M4 3650 x. After having modernized our VDI and vCenter to 6.0 u1, we discovered that servers M3 had fallen out of the 6.0 compatibility matrix. Right now our ESXi are 5.5. I need a host of 6.0 to continue the project of GRID, so I wonder if I can upgrade to 6.0 u1 ESXi server and run the cluster in a mixed configuration of ESXi?

    Only, we would need to upgrade the virtual desktop that use GRID for 11 hardware version. I am concerned of vMotion. I already know that virtual desktops to access the GPU GRID is vMotion, so not worried about that. However, I'm concerned by the servers being able to vMotion between 5.5 and 6.0.

    Thank you!

    If you are looking to vmotion of virtual machine between hosts 6.0 and 5.5, then this is a supported use case.

    But make sure that the virtual machine running on 6.0 hardware 10 (do not upgrade the hardware version to 11 which is the compatible version to 6.0)

    In addition, do not enable the new feature of 6.0 esxi on VM.

    You can upgrade vmware tools to version 6.0 because the tools are completely interoperable across different version

    BTW, when you upgrade a cluster of vsphere 5.5 to 6.0, during the upgrade process, some of the virtual machine will be 5.5 and some in 6.0 and you will transfer them through different version when you put them in maintenance mode. It is therefore fully supported configuration.

    I noticed there was only one Accessibar version (Version 0.7.8) was not compatible with Firefox 5 for some reason any.

    Is there an Accessibar version that can be used with Mozilla Firefox 5?

    I just checked, and the answer is no request by the developers of add-on which when they will release a version updated and taken in charge for the newer versions of Firefox.

  • Is there an add-on (or procedure) that can check how many modules installed will have a compatible version to upgrade before the upgrade?

    Just tried to upgrade to FF4 RC1. It was a disaster. At least half of my Add - ons have been disabled because there are currently no compatible version.

    Usually I wait a few months after a release upgrade version, but he was impatient to see the FF4. I also don't have enough sense to save my profile first (the last backup was in January).

    Fortunately, I was able to return to 3.6.15, but have a few modules customization menu that I now have to reconfigure.

    In any case, is there an answer to my question or a procedure by which I can check without having to search each add-on page-by-page?

    See this page for a report of compatibility Firefox 4.0 Addon for most popular extensions that are hosted on the site AddonsMozilla.Org .

    If you have improved your Mac to Mac OS X 10.11,2, El Capitan, you can open your photo libraries or in News Photos for application mac or you can continue to use iPhoto, but only iPhoto 9.6.1 will work on El Capitan.
