• install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server

  Hello

  I want to install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server.

  My problem is that I can't make partitions to really separate them and I would reinstall esxi without wiping the data store.

  Y at - it another way to put a record out of the raid only to install esxi.

  I also do not install on a USB key.

  Thank you

  AZEL,

  Can you give us more details about your current environment?  What is the size and the data store space used? Do you have any storage of additional network attached to the host (for backup purposes)?

  My assumptions of your post do you have 1 stand-alone host with ESXi 4.1 aready installed and you also have a local data store on the same host, but you want to re - install ESXi 4.1 while keeping the contents fo the data store.  Is this correct?

• Install ESXi 5.5 in the VM ESXi 5.5

  I am trying to create a nested environment ESXi 5.5 for testing purposes.

  The virtual machine should have drives IDE and CPU must use "use Intel VT-x/AMD-V" is there anything else I need to do, to be able to run ESXi in a virtual machine.

  can someone tell me please to a resource or a blog to guide me with this. I can't find.

  Thank you.

• Install ESXi 5.5 restarts the Adaptec RAiD card

  Hello

  I have a job im trying to install ESXi 5.5 on. I got it running on the machine perfectly well until I added a map of Adaptec Raid 3805. Now when I try to install ESXi it restarts everything when trying to load the AACRAID driver. It isn't hanging or show all errors. It just restarts immediately.

  VMware claim the Adaptec 3805 is compatible with ESXi 5.5

  Anyone got any ideas on why this is happening?

  Managed to solve this problem.

  I had to disable virtualization technology Intel® for Directed i/o in bios and now the installation program works perfectly

• install Esxi on re-usable

  Hello

  I have a Hp server, I intend to install Vmware on it. Please help me to sub questions.

  1 > what version of Vmware would be appropriate install (ESXi 5.5 or 6.0)

  2 > installation procedure of NU METAL.

  Thank you

  ANUP Kumar

  Welcome to the community,

  1. version to be used depends on what is supported on your hardware (see VMware Compatibility Guide) especially with the new generation of server (Gen8/Gen9) you must customize the installation ESXi yourself (inject the necessary drivers) or use the already custom image provided by HP (see Customize of Images VMware ESXi for HP ProLiant servers)
  2. the installation is quite simple. Start the host from an ESXi installation CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  What you can do before installing ESXi is to update the host with the latest firmware available and set up the RAID. Also, don't forget to activate the settings necessary BIOS, like the x - VT (Virtualization Technology)... It is also advisable to define 'High Performance' power management profile.

• 5.5 ESXi hosts disconnection of the vCenter 5.5.0b

  Good evening.  I recently deployed some new hosts HP BL465c G8 running the HP OEM install ESXi 5.5 (not the one just released 02/18) and the two hosts have been disconnect from vCenter four times in the past week.  I can sometimes connect to the host via ILO and restart the vCenter agent, but more often without having to start the host hard.  In addition, one of the VMFS5 content of the data store disappeared and the virtual machines residing on this data store have declined because the hosts could not find the configuration of the virtual machine files. Strangely enough, the data store showed spaced used and I could see all the directories within the CLI, but not vCenter client or Web-based Client.  I have two tickets to windows with VMware from HP support team, but I wanted to know if someone had a similar problem.  I'm tempted to rebuild with the latest OEM installation or rebuild as 5.1 or 5.0 if version 5.5 is not fully cooked.  Thank you.

  Scott

  The issue proved to be the OEM HP install and specifically the pilot v1.1.7 for HBA QMH2572 adapters that it contains.  We have rebuilt our 5.5 ESXi hosts using installation OEM HP published 02/14 (contains recommendations
  v1.1.12 pilot) and that solved the problem of stability.

• Install ESXi 4.1u1 USB to USB

  I have a N36L HP Proliant Microserver, on which I want to install ESXi 4.1u1. The material has no optical drive, but it has an internal USB that can host a flash drive. I want to install on a 1 GB stick plugged into it. It is two a question on how to do this, but also what I've discovered so far.

  (1) my first attempt was to create a portable USB HD bootable with ISO. It is documented in various places, the easiest of which is to use UNetbootin. Although apparently, it worked in previous versions of ESXi, apparently this does not work in 4.0 + since the installer insists on finding an image on an optical disc instead of the bootable media.

  (2) the workaround for this is to use a kickstart file to call 'usb install', which has the secondary effect of automation of the installation too. However calling "autopart' with the name of the flash drive fails also in my case because scripted installs need to 5 GB of space on the target disk. My stick is 1 GB.

  My remaining options are:

  (1) use another VM (possibly?) with an optical drive to install on a USB thumb key and then plug it into the server. Would this work? Is there only one image for all types of hardware, or installing regular CDROM EXSi when thing custom installed on a specific material does something?

  (2) use a "image writer" (winimage/dd) to write the installation image to ISO directly on the USB. To do this, I have the same questions as above. The images fit everything?

  3) temporarily renounce this strategy and use a cdrom or install it on a hard drive instead.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Option 1) would do. A base image would work different across of the box. You will find another server or using vmware workstation to create your bootable USB on esxi.  You can follow the tutorial here simply replace these virtual CD ISO of vmware workstation. http://www.techhead.co.UK/installing-VMWare-ESXi-4-0-on-a-USB-memory-stick-the-official-way

• After re-installing ESXi data store

  Dear all,

  We were using VMWare ESX 3.5 on an experimental basis.

  There are 6 hard drives connected to the controller RAID servers. We have created 2 logical drives: 2 drives in RAID 1 and 3 disks + 1 as a spare online in RAID 5. We installed VMware ESX 3.5 on the first logical disk (RAID 1) and after installation added second disc (RAID 5) using the function 'add the data store' in the VMware VI Client as a second data store.

  That the trial period is over, we want to remove VMware ESX 3.5 and replace it with VMware ESXi 3.5. We copied all files with files from virtual computer on the second data store.

  My question is this:

  What will happen with the second data store when installing ESXi 3.5 on the first logical disk (RAID 1)?

  If nothing will happen to the second store of data (RAID 5) during installation, the function 'Add the data store' of the VI Client will allow us to add this data without fomratting store it?

  Thanks in advance,

  Orhan

  There is an option in the installation allowing you not to crush the warehouses of VMFS data - so when you start your new server it should already see the existing data store and you should be able to go through it and see the existing data

• Lack of disks when installing ESXi 4.0 on Dell R710

  I have a Dell R710. I created a Raid 5 with some virtual disks and initialized to them. When I try to install ESXi 4.0, in the select a disk screen, it displays: Disk0, provider: iDRAC; Type: usb; Size: 0.0 B; Empty: y

  No idea what I'm missing?

  It seems that this controller is supported from ESX 4U1 (build 208xxx) - who are you installed?

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• C200 M2 LFF does not see the disks in the start menu after installing ESXi

  So in front of me, I have a brand new C200 M2 LFF with a single E5606 processor, 20 GB of RAM and a controller LSI Megaraid 9260 - 4i and 4 drives of 1 TB SAS. I put the disks in a RAID 5 array, I created a 10 GB virtual disk and properly installed ESXi on it twice, with a second virtual disk to be used as a data store.

  However, I can't get the thing to boot. It isn't even an option. The only storage in the boot menu option corresponds to the DVD player. If I look at the mass storage controller configuration, in fact, 0 and 4 SATA ports are "not installed" and port 5 has the DVD player.

  I tried fiddling with the settings of the BIOS without a bit of luck. Currently, the integrated controller is enabled and the SATA mode is set on improved (which seems to be the default, and what is recommended with Megaraid cards). It is a bundle (UCSC-DBUN-C200-102 by delivery, which seems to be a number of separate reference only), so I didn't have to assemble whatever it is and I guess that all the cables are connected at the factory. I opened the server, and I can say that all the cables look connected.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to open a case with the TAC, that's good, but seeing as I can't actually install the operating system there must be something stupid miss me.

  Disable the onboard Controller. This is software raid ICH10R.

  Reset. Then in the fixed CIMC/BIOS boot order and pint at the LSI.

  For the most recent ESXi 5.0, go to VMWare and search for ' ESXi 5.0 cumulative 2.

Everything appears normally, BOOT from CD, copying files, early and late services, appears "not found network card remember that you at least have a network card to connect to the system", there is only the choice to have an ABORTION. Any help? The card is one Intel (R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection.

  What is strange to me if I installed a Windows 7 and after 10 VWworkstation, I can install a 5.5.without ESXI, even ISO problem

  ANYhelp is welcome!

  Welcome to the community,

  Please take a look at http://www.virten.net/2013/09/esxi-5-x-installation-on-intel-nuc-fails-with-no-network-adapters/ for more information on how to customize the installation image to recognize your network card. When you install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation, it is not the physical NETWORK adapter which is presented to the virtual machine, but a virtual NETWORK adapter for which ESXi uses built-in drivers.
