• Problem with VMWare Tools and the virtual drive

  Hello

  I installed the test version of "Workstation" and installed a windows 7 x 86 non-virtual DVD drive mapped, which is mounted on D:\.

  Subsequently, I installed all Windowsupdates and after that I tried to install the VMWare Tools.

  But every time I get the message that I should look on the 'virtual' drive on D:\.

  But there is no virtual drive, it is my DVD of the hostsystem.

  Is there a way to mount a virtual drive with tools or install them in another way?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can directly install the VMware tool configuration by copying the setting in the machine and manually install the same.

  Try VMware on another machine tool in which you will get the installation... Copies on disk and then move it to your new VM and do a manual configuration.

• Difference between a VMDK and RDM virtual drive

  I am trying to understand the difference between above two disks. Documents from what I have found is VMware

  1. The mapping. A VMDK disk is a file within an a (hard) RDM and VMFS file system virtual isn't a mapping to a RAW LUN file (file system).

  1. Usability: Cluster VMDK disks is supported only in a box, but the virtual disks of RDM supports Cluster-in-a-Box and Cluster-through-Box.

  If the above is the only difference between them, which is the specific scenario when to go for each of them. If there is just no other difference please let me know.

  Thanks in advance

  I wanted to use my virtual XP to print using my old printer that the printer driver can only support XP. But I can't find a way to link my host and the virtual drive, because my file is located in the host drive.

  1 change the settings of the virtual machine

  2. go to the Options tab

  3. Select shared folders

  4. Select always enabled

  5 Add the folder that you want to use

  6. Select map as a network drive in Windows prompt

• Is it possible to use Storage Vmotion with VMFS and RDM virtual tool?

  Hello!

  You can use the tool Storage Vmotion to move a server that is running both VMFS disks and RDM virtual drives inside?

  Both SAN is EMC and Vmware ESX and Virtual Center can be reached.

  Thank you!

  For storage on the SAN again the two hosts will need access to the storage. You can then you copuld cold migrate the virtual computer. First, you will need to stop the virtual machine and delete the mapping of RDM. Once the virtual machine is the new data store re-create the mapping of RDM (Bothe hosts will need to access the LUN backend).

  Update the firmware to the latest version, this problem has been fixed in 5.1.1.7

• ESX 4 and IPMI / Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

  Does anyone else use the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator software on their ESX host?

  I do a cleaning/new ESX 4 installation on a Dell PowerEdge R900 server.  I installed the OMSA without error, but when you try to start the service, you get a "driver ipmi departure: "message. "  The web interface is running, but he tells no hardware information.

  She acts as IPMI is not installed at all, but shows an RPM query:

  VMware-ESX-drivers-IPMI-IPMI-msghandler-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
  VMware-ESX-drivers-IPMI-IPMI-si-DRV-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
  VMware-ESX-drivers-IPMI-IPMI-devintf-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009

  srvadmin-ipmi - 5.5.0 - 364.DUP (appears after you run the install OMSA)

  I tried to install using the srvadmin script OpenIPMI - openipmi.sh and get:

  Status: OpenIPMI driver Module is not loaded in the kernel.
  Recommended action: If OpenIPMI modules are available on the system.
  Run "modprobe' command to add the kernel modules.

  I looked in ' / lib/modules/2.6.18-128.ESX/kernel/drivers/ ' for a modprobe IPMI driver, but can't find.

  ANBODY have any ideas on where to go from here?

  We have confirmed with Dell a few months previously, 6.0.3 required for ESX 4 classic, due out within 30 days of the release of GA of ESX 4 classic.  So I'd wait for 6.0.3 unless it is already available.  Dell said that they expected to be interrupted as soon as GA.

• Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 6.0.3 and ESXi 4

  I try to install Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 6.0.3. I managed to install this sub ESXi 3.5 update 4. It says in the instructions activate OEM CIM providers by setting Misc.CimOemProvidersEnabled to 1. Misc.CimOemProvidersEnabled is supposed to be located under various advanced however, ESXi 4 is not. Anyone know where the moved the option or y at - it a new way to activate this feature with ESXi 4?

  You do not install agents on ESXi directly, they will come in the injected code of VMware/Dell as a variant of ESXi.  Indeed they are not installable on ESXi end-user.  HP already has similar variant for ESXi 3.5.  But to my knowledge, no hardware vendor has ESXi 4 variants yet out.

• Alert creation user OpenManage Essentials

  Hi all

  I would like to create an alert action, which will send an email when a new user is created on a server any. Is there an alert category for this? I see the system events > alert2SecurityInformation; who will provide this information, and could it be filtered to include only events of creating user?

  Thanks in advance.

  Srutherford,

  Unfortunately, it would be able to report on these fields, as they are software services. OpenManage Essentials is a management application hardware that provides an overview of the systems, devices and components in a Dell corporate network. Which based its alerts off material.

  Let me know if this helps answer your question.

• OpenManage Essentials - update error on PE610 systems

  Hello

  After completing the updates of systems on the server PowerEdge 610, I went back to OpenManage Essentials to refresh the inventory.  Then, I went to the update systems, and click on the check box of the PE610 that I've just updated and I got this pop up window error:

  This device does not have the minimum supported version of update iDrac.  Upgrade to a newer version of the iDrac.

  I went to Dell.com Support section and not sure what to install.  Could someone please indicate the installation file?  This will force me to reboot the server?

  Thank you.

  You can try to remove and to rediscover this system to see if it pulls the correct information of the iDRAC?

• Using OpenManage Essentials to deploy firmware on ESXi 5.1 servers

  It is possible to deploy updates firmware on server ESXi 5.1 uses OpenManage Essentials?  ESXi servers in our environment are discovered and inventoried, but the deployment of the firmware option is not available.  ESXi servers do not appear on the 'Systems' or 'Non-compliant' tabs under Manage\System update.

  Currently using:

  OpenManage Essentials 1.3 (installed on a Windows 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition Server)

  5.1 ESXi (installed on Dell PowerEdge 900 servers)

  Ah, just noticed you said PE R900.  Those who can not have an iDRAC... so could be a problem given this config.

• IBM Director is similar to DELL OpenManage?

  Hello

  We use DELL and OpenManage Server for a few years.

  We will use IBM X 3650 server to run the new ESXi host.  We would like to know if IBM Director is something similar to DELL OpenManage?   Wouldn't be a free download? 

  In OpenManage, it is necessary to install the agent on ESXi host and use OpenManage on a physical server to access these agents on ESXi host.  Since we don't have server IBM, how these agents on IBM server are accessible?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Thank you

  IBM Director is free for the basic material followed (if the hardware is IBM).

  From what I remember that the server software is free and each piece of the IBM of hardwre that you buy - includes a license for the control of internal agent server IBM Director software.

  As said above for more sophisticated functions that there is an additional cost.

  Most of the management will be through the IMM (term of IBM for DRAC / ILO).

  You may be required to install some specific VIBs IBM or a custom of the ISO http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/os/vmware/esxi/

• Dell OpenManage, ESXi 5.1 & reconstruction of bays RAID online

  I am owner of a Dell PowerEdge T420 with ESXi 5.1 installed and I was wondering if it is possible to rebuild a RAID array without having to restart the server.

  I was under the assumption that the use of Dell OpenManage running on Windows Server together with the Dell OMSA VIB would allow management of virtual disks when the system is online.

  I am able to see the State of health of the RAID via OpenManage arrays, but can't seem to perform management of tables.

  I was mistaken in that assumption?

  Jmartincic,

  You can simply reinstall the failed drive to start a regeneration. In the OMSA with ESXi graphical user interface, it's only a tool of surveillance. You cannot trigger something from him, although only with regard to the controller.
