• 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 M620 (VRTX) blade - ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 installation upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest)

  This morning I did an installation of upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest Version) on one of the blades of my VRTX M620 three 3.  I have the same problem that I met about a year, when I tried to update 1-2 update.  I had to go down to 1 update to see the data store.

  With update 3, the data store does not appear on this blade.  I did a scan to see if the data store is present, but he did not.  Also, I restarted the blade which did not help.

  I have to keep upgrading to 3 update due to the necessary correction of problem CBT.

  How to troubleshoot and resolve this problem of my data store does not?

  Note: I have very little experience with virtualization.  I just found today on how to access the interface from the CLI of blades.

  Thanks in advance.

  SOLVED.

  The original sas megaraid drivers (even installed on the blades of M620 Dell) had to be installed.  It is my understanding that several versions of the megaraid sas driver provided on the Dell ESXi ISO are meant to satisfy the VMware HCL for this material.  However, the more recent does not show the data store.

• 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 customized version of ESXi 5.5

  I just bought a Dell PowerEdge T320 for a virtualization host laboratory and installed custom Dells 5.5 ESXi hypervisor leave (dell.com) on the bare metal.  My question is did anyone know how this license since it has not been downloaded from the vmware.com website?

  Can I go out with ESXi installation directly from vmware and more later manually installed drivers for compatibility with the Dell hardware?

  Thank you!

  Reference custom Dell uses 5.5 ISO ESXi a normal VMware ESXi key provided by VMware license.  A normal installation of ESXi 5.5 it's already contains Dell drivers if you don't have to worry to inject drivers later, etc.

• 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

• 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!

• Live iSCSI SAN upgrade production network (Dell MD3000i and PowerConnect & ESXi 4)

  Hi all

  For the moment, I have a direct connection to my Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN in ESXi 4 2 x host with no switch between the two, all of the virtual machine is within the SAN and running on both hosts.

  If I want to put a switch between the two and add one more iSCSI SAN so that the two SAN can be accessed / shared with the 3 ESXi 4 guests total, how should I approach the issue?

  any idea or guideline would be greatly appreciated.

  What I have to plan the time or can I change the old IP on the existing SAN iSCSI manually cable one by one without damage/alter the existing operation of the virtual machine on SAN? or I have to stop the virtual machine and then terminate the connection manually iSCSI session and then restart the host SAN?

  Thank you

  AWT

  Standard installation on the MD3000i is for a port iSCSI on each controller on a subnet and one on each controller to be on another.

  There have been people working successfully on a subnet, reported problems too.   I wish we were longer on our Vsphere upgrade, I'm not at a point but where I test things like Vmotion.

• Dell PowerEdge T610 and ESXi 4.0 integrated

  Hello world

  My company has just purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T610 as our first server VM. They bought exactly the same configuration that Dell recommended for virtualization, which came with an option to get the ESXi 4.0 embedded. By charging Dell about $ 2000 for the premium service when buying the ESXi, society has decided that we will install ESXi embedded ourselves (on a SD card or USB key).

  And so the task was given to me

  Now, here's the problem I encounter. I downloaded the ESXi 4.0 installable with customization of Dell, and it seems to work fine on a USB key. But I can't find the instructions on how to actually install the embedded and non ESXi 4.0 installable version. I have ESXi 4.0 installable on the stick, but how do I get the embedded installed on it (or SD card). I see that people have done with ESXi 3.5, but all it seems to be there on the net about installing ESXi embedded yourself is only how to install the installable on the USB. It's a stupid, and built-in question is nothing more then a installable on a USB?

  Sorry for a newbie question...

  Thank you very much in advance!

  André

  integrated, installable should be the same, the difference is that with the integrated option you would not need to install

• Update the BIOS of powerage dell 2950 through an ESXi installation

  I'm not sure of the best way to update the bios of a Dell 2950 powerage on which I have a facilities of ESXi 3.5 u2.

  I have two virtual machines running.

  Dell has a "Update Package for Microsoft® Windows®" (PE2900_BIOS_WIN_2.1.0.EXE) which, in my opinion, can update the bios from a windows OS.

  I had to do some research, but I posted instructions on how to upgrade your Dell server running ESXi through records of SUU. Here are the instructions... I do before putting all servers in production, and after the shooting of any old material off the rack before stopping their production, never had a problem.

  Here's my process to update ESXi (dell of course hardware) servers.

  1 Download DVD Dell Software Update Utilitly, its 1.9 GB disc. (if you have a dvd player on your server, you can directly boot from this drive but if you had a CD player in your continuous server, or if you want to store the files of rep on a USB drive below eye).

  2. extract the contents of the iso (winrar), so a lot of my servers arrived with

  just for the readers of CD so I take a USB stick and loading JUST the 'repository '.

  folder from the disk update utility, which is about 1.2 GB of update

  files.

  3. then download the CD version of Dell Software Update Utility, it

  will have all the updates for the DVD and dell does not have up-to-date

  but that's fine, boot from that disk.

  4 start the CD, to the start screen select Update utility, wait 15-20

  "mins for linux to load, display, select Update ' updates are

  Located on a usb drive ", put your USB key with the storage folder"

  on it, then hit, which makes search updates, show what is necessary and

  You can update.

  5. install and start.

• LACP group does not work with stacked 2 DELL PC 6248 and ESXi 2 5.5

  I would like to use LACP/LAG in vSphere 5.5. So I created a new vDS and a group LAG. 2 NICs per host should be used for this. We use 2 hosts, so the total 4 ports are involved. Basically, you can refer to a diagram at vmwares KB article 2051826 (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2051826)

  It's only 2 lacp group links are active, then the other 2 are inactive. Active is the only one of the esx hosts, it depends on which ports are going to be active first.

  Any advice? Someone at - it a config like this works?

  Best regards

  Alex

  The config for switch:

  ! Current configuration:
  ! Description of the system «PowerConnect 6248P, 3.3.7.3, VxWorks 6.5»
  ! 3.3.7.3 system software version
  ! Passage mode is configured as disabled

  hash-mode 6
  Disable spanning tree
  switchport mode general
  switchport General disable filtering of capture

  Thanks to the good support at DELL.

  The secret is that you must create a separate group on the switch for each esx host. On the side of esx, you have the config with group a lacp/gal. But on the side of the switch, you need 2 groups for two guests. VMware should have this more clear I think.

• Is it possible to upgrade 5.5 to custom Dell 5.5 Ao1 esxi esxi?

  We have a Dell R410 wich has been improved from 4.1 to 5.5, the regular installation cd has been used instead of a Dell custom one.

  Q: is it possible to upgrade the current installation with the version of Dell (including the necessary drivers..)?

  I'm sorry - you were clearly the first time. I'm just not well enough "read.

  I can talk to a using a CD Manual installation method.  It works very well to keep your existing configuration.  When we give you the opportunity to choose, just be sure to choose the upgrade option.

  

  If you find that the drivers has not installed by using this method, retrieve it from the Dell ISO (or download them directly) and use the command esxcli vib install software or Update Manager.

  I hope this helps.
