• VMWare vSphere v5.5 ESXi install errors

  Hello

  I'm trying to install VMWare vSphere, ESXi v5.5 on a machine that I've used as a Windows 2008 Server. Pretty well spec'd (core i5, 8 GB, 3.5 TB of space etc.), but it's just a generic machine with a motherboard micro ATX ASUS and so on. I use an external USB DVD drive.

  It support (or seems to load) GRUNB fails with an error of '22 '. When I changed the BIOS to AHCI settings error replaced by "Error 21".

  I tried to eliminate any problems:

  • Tested the drive and the USB on a core i3 laptop [AOK]
  • Checked hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS OF THE system [YES]
  • I tried vSphere 5.1 [SAME MISTAKES]

  Does anyone have ideas, what could cause this problem?

• How can I know raid 0 SSD when I install Vsphere ESXi 6?

  Hello

  I would say for me to understand in advance because I can't speak English well.

  Today, I tried to install ESXi vsphere 6 on ssd drive that put in raid0. RAID0 consisted of two 500 GB drives.

  When I install Windows Server R2 2012 to check the status of the raid 0, I can see good about 1 TB drive and when I try to install vsphere 6 ESXi, I see two 500 GB drives. It didn't consist of raid 0

  Why can't vsphere ESXi 6 recognize raid 0 disk?

  Frankly, defining VMware products is the first time today. Please explain and tell me to resolve method.

  This questions is more likely caused by an unsupported software RAID controller. VMware supports only hardware RAID controllers that have the physical disks and logical volumes for operating systems. Some hardware manufacturers provide additional drivers for their own material as well.

• Using the hard drive on HP Proliant after installing VSPhere ESXi 5

  I recently installed VSphere ESXi 5 on a HP Proliant server. I've migrated several virtual machines successfully on, with access via client vsphere. I'm trying to find out whether the server is in Raid 5. I called HP and they said that the only way to know is to insert the smart startup disk. I inserted, but I don't know how to access the disk. I know this is probably very simple, but I'm lost. Thanks for your help.

  It depends on if you a raid controller enough disks and supported your server to take a RAID5 configuration.

  Download the HP smart start ISO, ILO mount or burn a CD to boot off the coast so that you can launch the utility of configuration of matrices (ACU). It's really something that should have been done before the ESXi installation.

  See the example below;

  See you soon,.

  Boot you from the installation CD and let it install on your supported hardware.

  Whatever it is, however, causes the same thing.

• ESXi on a laptop

  I think that this question has been asked before. I installed esxi 5.5 on your desktop and installed the Client vSphere on a separate office to manage the server and create virtual machines.

  The question is if I build an esxi on a laptop as a base and try to create several virtual machines, what should I use to manage the server on the same box?

  Please let me know if the issue is not clear?

  Thanks for the help.

  So there is nothing that can manage a server on the server?

  Server must be managed remotely? Fix?

  Thank you for the answers.

  ESXi is a bare metal hypervisor... you can not implement machines locally. If you want that, then use Hyper-V. You must have a remote client to manage your host and available to virtual machines.

• vSphere ESXi 5.5: creating data warehouses

  I installed vSphere ESXi 5.5 on a system of self-build and downloaded VIClient her... everything connects very well.

  The system itself is an Intel Core i5 with 8 GB of ram and an Office CT pro Intel network card. Records are:

  • IBM 32 GB SSD (the ESXi OS is installed on this and can be seen fine... of course I guess).
  • a SATA III 1.5 TB drive
  • a disc of 2 TB SATA III

  The system can see the other readers, but when I try to create data stores that I can use, I get the error:

  Call 'HostStorageSystem.ComputeDiskPartitionInfo' to object 'storage system' on ESXi 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' failed.

  Anyone has any idea why this would be and if I can do something? The only things I can think of existing partitions (it certainly is on the smaller disk as it was originally a server system 2008) or some kind of requirement for specific formatting, first.

  James

  This could be a problem with the current data on the disk. I suggest clean you the partition info using the DD explained to the KB VMware: Troubleshooting in the add storage Wizard error: cannot read this disk partition information to see if that solves the problem.

• NFS problem after upgrade to vSphere, ESXi 5.0 5.1

  Hello community,
  I installed / updated on a Dell r.620 Server ESXi 5.0 5.1 vSphere
  I also have an ESXi installed 5.0 an another r.620 Dell both connected to a Snyology Racksation via NFS. (at different volumes)
  Now, I have the problem that I can't install an OS (Windows XP, Windows 8, Windows 7) located on an NFS share in a new created virtual machine.
  I am not connected without vCenter, just with the vSphere Client direct connected.
  The system boots, but I can not choose to install the operating system on the new created VMDK but then nothing happens.
  I also tried to format the drive before installation, formatting breaks down after 15 minutes with the message: "unable to format the drive...". 0 x 80070057 ".
  When the virtual machine is on the local storage of the VM to the server, everything works fine.
  I can also install and start virtual machines on the same NFS with an ESXi 5.0 share.
  Formerly installed VMs can also start. All hung on the windows logo screen and the German Embassy "Comuptereinstellungen werden übernommen"... for over an hour...
  The same virtual machines work fine on the ESXi 5.0, located on the same NFS share.
  But on the NFS share, I can write and read the data with the Client vSphere (on configuration-> storage) with no problems, so I guess that there is a problem with the NFS, permissions etc volume.
  So I guess there must be a problem with the NFS share on vSphere Host 5.1.

  Does anyone have an idea what is the problem?

  Thank you very much!

• New here - problem with the network on vSphere, ESXi

  Not sure if this is the right place to post this, please direct me properly if it is not.

  I use an eval of vSphere ESXi on a HP workstation. I built 2 Windows 2 k 8 VM 32 bits on the first data store. They can ping and DNS seems to be resolved, but they cannot access Internet/WWW.

  I accepted the default when installing ESXi and vSphere, so the configuration of the network is all that is by default (using the switch vNetwork, I think?)

  The 2 servers are on a different area of our production area. For this case, we'll call it consigment and Lab.com. "PDC" server is the domain controller, 'Exch8' is the exchange server in the lab. Exch8 has its pointed DNS, PDC and PDC has its DNS indicated on our DNS server in the environment of consigment. They are all on the same subnet 172.1.1.x

  I can ping PDC and Exch8 of my workstation (which is in consigment) by IP, but not name (pdc or pdc.lab.com, or work).

  Can someone at - it facilitate troubleshooting?

  Thank you

  OK finally try this out... It must be something to deal with the configuraiton of windows rather than dealing with VMware.I belive

  1. on the server you can navigate on the internet - see the proxy setting.

  See how proxy setting - open internet explore - switch to the option internet tool - connection tab click lan setting and get the configuraiton of proxy and put it in the PDC. Lab.com server and see if it works...

  2. also if you have installed antivirus tools on the server that you are not able to browse internet but able to ping... Uninstall AV and try...

  A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled.

  I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk.

  I would like to reinstall on my laptop but cannot because there is no way for me to uninstall from the destroyed hard drive.

  Your instructions tell me to contact me about this.

  Help, please!

  Normally, you do not have to uninstall anything, you only need to disable. You didn't need to uninstall on the laptop, nor do you need to turn it off.  If it is for the creative cloud then you should be able to install and connect on the laptop now and he is likely to ask you if you would allow all other facilities to be disconnected.  You can select Yes which will erase all of the activations, and then after that the laptop is turned on you can connect on the new desktop still once more.

• Connect two VSphere ESXi 5.0 with crossover cable

  Hi all! A newbie in the ESXi 5.0

  I configured both servers of VSphere ESXi 5.0 with two network adapters on each server, the first NETWORK card acts as a virtual Internet switch, and the other NETWORK adapter serves only the link of communication (Heartbeat) between two VSphere Esxi 5.0 using crossover cable.

  My question is, how can I create such change in VSphere in a problem of communication between these 2 servers with a crossover cable? I would like to connect my (CentOS 6) VMs on each server via this network adapter with cable modem Simulator for the purposes of the communication of pulsation. I know how to create a normal vSwitch who can communicate with the Internet, but I have no idea how to create a switch for the NICs connected with a crossover cable.

  Please drop me a line if you know how.

  P.S. The idea to use the crossover cable rather than use the simple ethernet cable is the cable eliminates the overhead and to avoid the lack of packages due to the processing time of the switch.

  I know not how to create one with ordinary vSwitch to establish a connection with the Internet, but not this vSwitch with crossover cable.

  There is no difference. Build a vSwitch as your normally would, including the NETWORK card that is connected via a crossover as your uplink cable.

• Latest version VMWare VSphere ESXi announcement

  Hello, please forgive my lack of knowledge that I'm not an expert VMWare. I am looking for information on the announced Server latest OS for VMWare VSphere ESXi. I realize that the last version is VMWare VSphere ESXi version 5, but there was no announcement (not necessarily published) of the future releases past version 5. If so, I would be grateful for any information.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Gil Lee

  Not yet. vSphere 5.1 is the latest version, but he had published patches (a and b).

  VMware will announce information when they decide it's time for that so there nothing known yet outside on version 6 or whatever they'll call it.

• VSphere ESXi hypervisor free, re-usable clon server tests?

  Hello

  I tested VMWare vSphere, ESXi Hypervisor, the free program.

  I try to get tips motherboard I should buy to test the vSphere Hypervisor?

  I tested some form of Intel and Asus motherboard and Boot CD saysit cannot detect the network card. But in a Dell 2950 PowerEdge, it works very well.

  Another thing is that I read that in a motheboard with only SATA2 ports, the data store is detected as 'rare' and not 'local', so my final question is if vSphere is recommended only from servers brand or certification or if this could work in a re-usable/clon/DYI Server?

  Thank you very much

  Oliver

  Although the ESXi Hypervisor can run on office equipment - often only when equipped with an additional supported NIC - it's officially supported only on the server hardware that can be found in the VMware Compatibility Guide

• How to add the software iSCSI adapter in vSphere, ESXi 5.0?

  Hello

  Please give me the steps to add the software iSCSI adapter in vSphere, ESXi 5.0.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  In an earlier version of VMware ESXi software iSCSI adapter was included in the list of the storage card, but is not in the case of VMware ESXi 5.0. In ESXi 5.0 iSCSI adapters are not listed by default and must be activated first before we go away from configuration.
