DL380 G3 ESX 3i Version 3.5.0 network drivers

I am very new to VMWare and having a problem setting up of my first installation of comments.

I have a DL380 G3 with ESX 3i Version 3.5.0 installed.  In VMware Infrastructure Client, I can see the following network card:

NC7781 Gigabit (PCI - X, 10,100,1000-T) server adapter

My first guest OS is Server 2008 Standard (32-bit).

In the comments, I can't get a driver installed.

That's what I tried:

Drivers HP.  I am told that the intelligent installation is not supported in a virtual machine.  So I extracted the files and tried to install.  I am told that the drivers are incorrect.

Broadcom drivers.  I can get windows install these, but same problem, drivers are incorrect, and they do not start.

I am sure that the hardware is supported and is on the compatibility list.

Help, please!

Thank you.

Hi Robrandon,

Welcome to the forums.

Never try to use a physical device driver in a virtual machine. Check that your virtual machine is configured with the information in the appropriate operating system and has a virtual NIC attached. Then install VMware tools. The network card must be running in your comments.

Good luck.

Franck

  • Upgrade XP to Windows 7 Professional and Vista upgrade to Windows 7 family of versions for a family network.

    We have two computers on a home network: I had built in 2008 with Windows XP and then I bought a HP on shelf with Vista for my children.  I connected them together; the XP pc is connected to the ADSL and the Vista pc gets access to the internet through the network as well as access to a wireless network laser printer.  I'm looking to upgrade to Windows 7.  I would like my own upgrade to Windows 7 Professional for my XP programs, etc. are always usable/accessible.  What I need to upgrade the computer Vista business, too, or can I just switch to the Home version, while keeping our network?

    You will need to buy two separate editions of Windows 7. You'll have to do a custom installation of Windows XP without worrying, there is no way to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7.

    According to the edition of Windows Vista you have, you can do an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

    The upgrade of Windows Vista?

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • Detect the host ESX (redux) version

    Hello

    We use a script that automatically installs the VM tools on our VMS invited when the OS is installed. We are now mixing our ESX hosting environment so we also well ESX3.5 and ESXi4.0 hosts. Each of these hosts require versions of VM Tool on their customers. I need a way to determine which version of tools to install based on the version of ESX VM client runs on.

    I've seen other threads on this and suggested using the date of the BIOS, but I'm not real keen on this approach.

    What I found in our environment is the "Device Instance path" or "The device Instance ID" of different NIC appear compatible subprovider IDs that begin with \3 when it is hosted on ESX3.5 and \4 or \FF when it is hosted on ESX 4.0

    i.e.

    ESX 3.5 hosted vm - NIC device Instance path = PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_100F & SUBSYS_075015AD & REV_01\3 & 2B8E0B4B & 0 & 88

    ESXi 4.0hosted vm - NIC device Instance path = PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_100F & SUBSYS_075015AD & REV_01\4 & B70F118 & 0 & 0088

    Note the key differentiating field is immediately after the second "\".

    Anyone have any ideas if this logic will hold up over time?

    Hello

    I wouldn't count on that, but if it works now, go ahead. It may not be the same as we go along.

    However it is a pretty good test 'red pill '. The virtual hardware is very revealing and it's trivially easy to determine the version of ESX, the virtual machine is hosted using red pill techniques.

    It would be better to have vCenter server build 147658 with ESX 3.5 U4.

    These are the two versions that go hand in hand (U4 both).

  • VM Compatibility ESXi 5.1 and later bad (VM version 9) with the network

    I'm having and ESXi host with 10 VM, all connected to the same portgroup on the virtual switch. To allow THT, I created the last slots with 5.1 ESXi compatibility and later (VM version 9), where all the other machines have ESXi 4.x and later (VM 7).

    Now, I'm having the issue 2 machines with version 9 can talk to each other, and version 7 cannot talk to each other. It is not possible to make a ping to a version 7 virtual machine vm version 9 and vice versa.


    An idea, a re there known issues, something I did wrong? From what I saw that day was to be a major change in the networking between these versions.

    Any help welcomed verrrrrry!

    Thank you, Philippe



    OK, after spending a day debugging, convert machines front and rear, delete and remove the NETWORK card I was able to convince the administrator to restart the host ESX - problem solved!

  • WUSB54GC version 3.0 - Windows 7 drivers?

    Hello world

    I've recently updated to Windows Vista 64-bit for Windows 7 64 bit.

    However, I have some difficulty to install my drivers v3.0 WUSB54GC.

    I downloaded the files under windows 7 64-bit on the linksys Web site (However, these are just the files, no installation / configuration.)

    Under this option, you can download the installation program. It keeps however failing to detect my adapter during the instalation...

    What I am doing wrong?

    Someone working Windows 7 drivers for the WUSB54GC v3.0

    See you soon

    Alex

    This section can be locked.

    I found the solution through a previous post of Mr. Smith. Although it does not specifically say its for my card I could use its instructions to install the files downloaded from the linksys site, followed by the installer.

    http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/Linksys/board/message?board.ID=Wireless_Adapters&thread.ID=11415

    I think it would be convenient that Cisco put a README on their site / put it with the downloaded files so no were not left to know what to do.

    I'm sure there are many people out there who just give up and throw away the adapter or a refund for her because of this.

  • HP Pavilion x 360: brand new HP X 360 11 - k107na Blue screen DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS or EQUAL (rtwlane.sys)

    Brand new laptop hangs. A blue on the screen with the error DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS EQUAL (rtwlane.sys) OR 5 times, and has locked up twice ctrl + alt + delete compltly don't work so had to turn off via the power button / stop. Windows update not installing in spite of being connected to the internet.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

    It's BSOD - Windows self-protection function sort. If you received a blue error screen, or a stop code, the computer stopped abruptly to protect against data loss. A hardware device, its driver or software might have caused this error. What you describe could be incompatible with the Windows driver (more often) or because of material issue (rarely).

    In your case, this seems to be the problem - your network drivers are outdated and must be updated to fix the problem.

    Option 1:

    Visit the HP website for your model > http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-11-x360-PC-series/8499314/model/8942286 , select your operating system version, download, choose the network drivers, download and update

    Option 2 (recommended):

    If you don't have it already, please download and install HP Support Assistant from this url: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03467905

    Use to check and apply all updates of drivers

    Additional tips:

    -If you have installed McAfee software, then uninstall it and possibly run this tool to uninstall McAfee > http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp

    -Use the built-in Windows Defender > http://www.howtogeek.com/220232/how-to-use-the-built-in-windows-defender-antivirus-on-windows-10/
