• 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.

• configuration dell poweredge t610

  Hi all

  I hope you guys can help me with the following.

  I have this server in the office: dell poweredge t610.

  Configured with raid 5.

  Two of your hard drive has failed, so I replaced the. After the replacement, used windows. Boot. I installed a fresh installation of windows 2008, after a reboot once the installation is complete. I know that the following message:

  Uncompressing Linux... ok, booting the kernel.

  System initialization, please wait...

  To start replication, please insert your disk replication.

  Replication will begin once the system has started.

  I don't have a disk of replication.

  How can I solve this?

• ESXi 3.5 on Dell Poweredge 2950 and Dell 6 GB/s card SAS HBA?

  Hello.

  I'm under ESXi 3.5 u4 on a Dell poweredge 2950 machine.

  I recently bought a Dell Powervault 124 t. autoloader with a HBA SAS 6 GB/s card.

  I installed the card SAS in the PE 2950, but now I can't seem to see in ESXi.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you very much.

  I'm afraid that the Dell technician is correct.

  Someone at - it a link on ESX support not directly connected devices?

  This isn't the issue. The question is: do you have a link that shows devices supported?

  Reference Dell does support the autoloader Powervault 124 t. on ESXi 3.5?

  Have you checked the VMware HCL already, if the SAS controller is included/supported for ESXi version, you are running?

  There are a few articles which have tape readers running with Adaptec SCSI controllers, I don't see anything for ESXi 3.5 with a SAS controller still...

  Maybe there's a better chance to make this work with ESX 4.x with VMDirectPath

• DELL PowerEdge R710 and PERC H700 RAID driver for WIn 2008 Std

  Hi all

  I have a DELL PowerEdge R710 with a controller RAID PERC H700.

  I try to install Windows 2008 Std 64 bit, but I can't find the driver. Even for the site web at support.dell.com. Can someone help me.

  THX in advance

  Even if you use a driver of 2008, it should at least recognize it, then you must be using the wrong driver or something wrong :)

  If you are installing 2008 R2, make sure that you use this file:

  If you install 2008 x 64, make sure that you use this file:

  With one, you must first unlock the .exe (right click on the .exe, properties, unlock), unzip / extract the files (run it and make a note of the default location), and then copy the 4 files on a CD, USB, etc., then when Windows tells you that he is not all hard disks, click on the link drivers load below to load the drivers from the media you have chosen.

• 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:

  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.

• 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.

• Dell PowerEdge T610 (memory upgrade)

  I bought Dell 16 GB certified replacement Memory Module for select Dell - 2Rx4 1333 MHz RDIMMS LV systems

  Currently, I have 8 GB of RAM (1 GB on every slot machines). After I installed this new memory and restart the server, it shows invalid memory configuration. So, I changed the memory setting in BIOS 'Advanced ECC' to 'optimize memory '. But it detects more than my current speed of the memory is 8 GB. Is there something wrong with the configuration of the memory? I tried to re - establish the new RAM.

  Help, please. Thank you.

  Hello.

  Your memory configuration is not valid because the channel memory CH0, is not balanced with channels CH1 & CH2. Refer to the schematic illustration below:

  

  In order to balance the memory on these channels, we should have memory DIMM in:

  A1, A2 & A3 = B1, B2 & B3 in addition also A4, A5 & A6 is B4, B5 & B6. That's why CH0, CH1 & CH2 memory modules must be identical for the performance and optimal memory configuration. Depending on the upgrade amount of memory you are looking for, you can buy 1 more 16 GB DIMMS and then fill in slots A1 B1 & offer a total capacity of 32 GB. This will provide more flexibility for future memory upgrade

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

• Upgrade memory Dell PowerEdge T610?

  Hi, I have a T610 with 8 GB (4 x 2G 2Rx8 PC3-8500R). I would put more than 8 GB, (4 x PC3-10600R 2 G 2Rx8). Works? What is the best setting?

  [of]

  Hello.

  How many processors you have installed?  There are several guidelines of population of memory including memory on all channels balanced for optimal performance.

  For a single processor, you will only be able to use six modules because of this limitation, where:

  A1, A4, A2A5, A3A6: 2GB with capacity of 12 GB total memory

  For the two processors:

  A1A4, A2A5 & B1B4, B2B5: 2GB gives the ability of memory of 16 GB. I advise to use strips of memory ability higher such as 4 GB, 8 GB, or even 16 GB because they offer memory expansion more and robust.

• Dell PowerEdge 860 and ESXi5

  Well, these Socket 775 processors supported VT - d, according to the database of Intel:

  Also make sure that your BIOS/motherboard supports allowing it. If it isn't, you might as well upgrade your whole system.

• VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

  Hi all

  I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

  I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

  I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

  Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

  Kind regards

  Michael Lange

  I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

  You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

  What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

  If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

• 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.

  VMware vSphere 5.1

  VMware KB: upgrade to ESXi 5.x generates the warning: host contains third VIB (s)

• OK, I NEED someone TO HELP me INSTALL LESS ESXi 5.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server! And of course, HE IS No. TUTORIAL on this SITE FOR ME HELP!

  As I said earlier:

  OK, I am trying to install vSpere on my Dell PowerEdge 1950.

  Hardware specifications:

  4 GB FB-DIMM DDR2 memory

  x 2 processor Intel Xeon, 2 carrots, 3.00 GHz

  There a RAID BIOS, so I had to create a Raid 0 virtual disk to install anything.

  Drive hard WD 1 TB, it's the one I use for the VD.

  When I choose which hard drive I use, I select the VD, I created, I select my keyboard language, then the configuration scan my material, then he asks me if if want to install, I pressed F11. Then, when it reached 5%, it throws an error: "partedUtil failed with the message: error: can not have a partition outside the disk!

  He says that it cannot install it on a virtual drive? My server is not compatible?

  Edit: There is another error that says: cannot read the partition table for device:

  /VMFS/devices/disks/NAA.60019b90bd8289001e62575a584731e0

  What is going on!!! Why vmware cannot have tutorials on "How to install Esxi on a server with RAID BIOS"?

  Check if the virtual HARD disk you packed is initialized. It seems that the installation is not written on this HARD drive. Back to the HARD Disk Manager (you probably PERC5 / I) to start the process I think is CTRL + R? find your virtual drive and launch. Take a look at the image as an attachment.

• ESXi and Dell Poweredge T410 install issues...

  Hello, we just bought a spanking new beand Dell Poweredge T410 with S300 raid Card... useless day, Esxi 4.0 or 4.1 will not install on it... We get an error message during the installation:

  "Could not find a data device to decompress the image for.

  This server was prchased Feb 2011... can someone tell me how I can get installed on esxi?

  The S300 controller isn't a device supported for ESXi. You must add a supported RAID controller. There are many other RAID controllers available for this server. The Perc 5 and 6 controllers are also good choices and are available on sites like e - bay, etc.
