• Reference Dell M620 and M820 ESXi 5.1 installation

  I'm relatively new to VMware on Dell hardware. The closest thing that I believe to a custom image is 'VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 Image Recovery"(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=RD5JN). I assumed it to be ESXi 5.1 update 1 with favorite Dell specifc driver packages. I had planned to use this new installs feeling that it would include the latest drivers for my Dell M620 and M820s and would be preferable to base VMware image.

  1. It is the support for the installation of these blades?
  2. The description says « Ce ISO image should only be used to restore/reinstall VMware ESXi on image for SD Card/USB Key on the supported Dell platforms. »
     • I am confused by the specification 'only' restore/reinstall and not install.
     • Also confused by the mention of the only card SD and USB to the apparent exclusion of standard hard drives.

  I installed with it as a test and it looks good, but I'm uncomfortable with the description. I would be grateful for any additional information or insight to those who support ESXi in Dell stores.

  Hi vmproteau,

  Here are my answers to your question based on my experience. I have no experience with the M620 or M820 I manages around 240 M610, 60 R710, the R720 10, so I am familiar with Dells ESXi 5.1 servers update 1.

  (1) Yes, I would recommend using the ISO provided Dell printer if you are not familiar with creating your own package with the necessary drivers and firmware.

  (2) this ISO standard will include all drivers for supported Dell servers and some customizations of Dell and can be used for new installations regardless of the storage (SD, USB or HD Local) option. I would like to look out for is mainly to make sure that you update the firmware on all of your blades with the most recent available by Dell that ESXi is very picky with the pilot and also incompatible firmware Dell CMC with thanks to a few mistakes from time to time.

  Kind regards

• ESXi 5.5 Dell M620 M8428-K

  Hi all

  I have a problem with ESXi 5.5 - when I join all my network cards to a switch I lose connection.

  Here is my configuration:

  Reference Dell M620 blades in a M1000e chassis. We have 10 adapters GB Qlogic NAC - dual channel QMD8262-K, which are divided into 4 adapters on each channel, linking to 2 x switches chassis K-M8428-Dell (rebadged brocade 8000).

  When you use ESXi 5.1 everything works perfectly.

  I got a box to open with VMware since November and so far they were able to identify that the ARP requests are extinguished vmnic0 but ARP reply packets come back through vmnic2 and lost by Team_ReverseFilterPerList(). That's why vmk0 stops sending traffic.

  I was wondering if someone has a similar setup and work with ESXi 5.5? We have 7 of these boxes and none work with ESXi 5.5.

  Thank you

  Geoff.

  Here is the command that worked for me. You must restart after his entered before it takes effect.

• Upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 - DELL Incompatible ISO custom ESXi

  Hello

  When attempting to upgrade a DELL PowerEdge server running ESXi 5.1 to 5.5, Manager of update of the 'Inconsistent' due to Broadcom VIB reports.

  Please find attached the screenshot.  It seems that the existing 5.1 ESXi host is already launched VIB even as in ISO image to measure.

  

  Thank you

  You can also choose to migrate by force and it will run the installation.  I think after that he will keep the existing VIBs that are installed, but I have not tested on.

  Using the option migrate from Force could cause the host improved to not start successfully, to expose the system instability or lose functionality. If you upgrade a host support custom VIBs 5.0.x, which are not included in the ESXi ISO Installer are migrated. There is no need to select the option migrate by Force. See upgrading of the hosts that have third-party custom VIBs.

  Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  Hello

  I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2^nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2^nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2^nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2^nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2^nd NIC. But that 2^nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2^nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2^nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1^st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2^nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

  Thanks in advance

  Network configuration

  • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
  • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

  If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

• Dell PowerEdge VRTX followed in SCOM R2 2012

  We use SCOM R2 2012 and already installed the Dell suite Management Pack v6 but unable to snmp trap events received in the management pack.

  Anyone has a solution on this?

  FREDPH

  Discovery of the chassis VRTX is not a problem and everything is the value of the community string and run as account on SCOM - with the help of Dell support.

  We followed the post below and we we able to receive SCOM snmp traps, but this isn't what we want. We want to receive snmp traps from Dell management pack alerts.

  You must use run as accounts for detection and analysis. Please see installation and usage guides for instructions on setting up the accounts to run as for surveillance. Looks like you have already set up for the discovery, but you must set up an account run as for monitoring when you enable the feature:

• Dell Poweredge r.620 ESXi custom 5.5

  Hello

  As we intend to deploy the customized version of ESXi 5.5, I would like to know if it's the most recent:

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/in/en/19/driverdetails?DriverID=20VNP

  Thank you!

  If you compare the checksums indicating by Dell for these two files, you can see that they match. This means that they are the exact same download/file.

  The Dell custom ESXi A01 ISO 5.5 is the latest I know.

• Reference Dell R310 Server Blade not start CD ROM [FRESH WINDOWS SETUP]

  Hello

  I have a Server Blade Dell R310. I created the virtual disk on a Raid Configuration, also I updated the BIOS boot.

  I PERC S100 when I checked on my configuration tab.

  The scenario is that I want to install a new / new copy of Windows 2008 R2 on this server, I have the dvd bootable. but when I put it on the drive it says "No Bootable Media found" something like that.

  Y at - it all the configurations that I missed? hoping to get answers from here.

  Kind regards!

  OK, let's back up a bit:

  Use the management tools of systems and Documentation (GDPS) instead of SBUU.  If you use SBUU with 2008R2, you should use the Driver Pack too... MUCH easier to use the GDPS, which has everything you need in there:

  FTP (you will need to copy/paste - forums do not like the FTP links):

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/secure/FOLDER01538030M/1/OM_SMTD_730_A00.ISO

  Yes, you start on GDPS, follow the instructions, and then insert the 2008R2 media when prompted.

• Dell Poweredge 2850 and ESXi 4.1

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 12 GB of RAM and two CPUs, hyperthreading with 350 GB of disk space.

  This box was initially installed with Redhat Linux ES 5.4 64-bit and OS 64 bit CentOS 5.5 with no problems, so I know the processor supports 64-bit.

  I then installed VMWare ESXi version 4.1 on the Dell Poweredge 2850 with no problems.

  Then, I created a few instances VM I want to install CentOS 5.5 64 bit.  During the installation of a VMware instance, I get this:

  msg.cpuid.notLongmodeQuestionFmt:This veritual is configured for 64-bit operating systems.
  However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152
  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Now the question I have is this: given that VMWare is problems with 64-bit OSes comments, how is it that I can install CentOS 5.5 64 bit on this Dell PowerEdge 2850 with no problems.  It seems obvious to me that the PowerEdge 2850 works well with the 64 bit OS but not ESXi 4.1.

  How can I get around this?

  Comments?  Thanks in advance.

  The dell series 8 (1850/2850) have no vt support, so not support 64-bit virtual machine, except 6850.

  The output of the processor shows the same thing, or rather, what he shows no vt in its ability.  It shows lm, long mode, so you can run 64-bit, that you are running ESX, but to succeed in this 64-bit support, you need the lm, you and vt, which you don't have.

• Best practices 4U2 for Dell OM VIB for ESXi 4.1 upgrade?

  I am about to begin the upgrade of my guests of U2 4 ESXi 4.1 and am running over old Dell OpenManage VIBs (currently v6.3) on 4U2.  However, I was wondering if there is a proper procedure for the upgrade to 4.1 and update of Dell OM VIBs.  I have not tried yet, so I n; t sure if there was a 'good' way to do to avoid problems.  The Dell site does not mention the upgrade when you install last VIB - explains just how to install.

  • Uninstall the old Dell OM VIBs before the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 and then install the most recent VIB 6.4?
  • Upgrade to 4.1 and then uninstall the old VIB, install the new version of VIB
  • Uninstall the old Dell OM VIBs before the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 and then install the most recent VIB 6.4?
  • Upgrade to 4.1 and then install the new VIB on the current

  I followed the instructions here (pretty basic) when installing the VIBs first, but I have never done an upgrade of the VIBs.  I guess my main issue is whether it is safer to uninstall and reinstall then install new or just on the top when dealing with VIBs themselves?

  Just looking to see if anyone has experience with this and maybe avoid some headaches, if things go pear shaped

  Hello.

  My experience has been uninstalling and reinstalling works better.  I would remove the VIB before the upgrade.

  Good luck!
