ESX 4.0 hardware compatibility

Hello

I would like to install ESX 4.0 to the practice of upgrading to later versions of ESX 4.0 as U1 - U4 and 4.1.  I don't have much material available and a small budget.  Finally, it's will be a 3rd VM Server that will host our data recovery.  Can someone point me to a list of hardware compatibility for ESX 4.0 minimum standards?

I would use standard office for this project.  I prefer the ASUS and Intel motherboards.  Thank you!

  • where to find and use the (HCL) hardware compatibility list for Windows xp3

    Original title: where to find and use the Windows (HCL) hardware compatibility list

    HCL for Windows xp3

    That does not "response" from MS Support Engineer Umesh was particularly useless.

    Unfortunately for you, the HCL XP (or Windows Catalog or Windows Marketplace or whatever it is renamed) no longer exists.  I guess Microsoft is not particularly interested in letting you know what the material is compatible with an operating system that is no longer, it sells and supports only.

    The trail begins here: "the latest Windows XP Hardware Compatibility List" (314062 KB) that leads to theWindows 7 Compatibility Center.  KB 314062 is also linked to the http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/ which used to have a list of compatible with XP hardware and software, but now redirects to the Microsoft store, another dead end that XP is concerned.

    If you really want to dig, your best bet is probably used the Wayback Machine (archive.org) looking for old copies of

    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx - but a lot of links are broken or "not supported" unless you use Internet Explorer 6 (the message claims 6 'or more' but 8 does not work).
  • hardware compatibility with windows xp

    I tried to install an external hard drive and a USB key, but windows says strongly I should stop installation because the products have not passed windows logo testing. is it safe to go ahead and install it because the two products state that they are compatible with windows xp, or should I not? I don't see a lot of products these days logo on the box of the product, but they claim that they are compatible.

    Go ahead and install the equipment.  If you're worried, see the web site of the manufacturer to ensure that you have the latest version of the driver there (it may be newer than the driver on the CD that came with the hardware).

    You won't see a lot of products these days with the Windows XP logo on them because Windows XP is no longer sold by Microsoft and the hardware vendors are focusing on Windows 7.

    The list of hardware compatibility XP (or what was her last name) seems to have disappeared from microsoft.com, but the following information of theversion of Windows 7 is basically the same as it was for XP:

    The "Compatible" green check icon means the manufacturer of the device or software that this product works with 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7. Generally, you won't need to do anything to ensure compatibility, and you will see "no action is needed" below "Compatible" on the product details page. However, if a manufacturer or Publisher offers or requires additional software or a newer version, you will find a link to what you need and see the details to the right of the link. Please note that these products have not been "Compatible with Windows 7" Logo program compatibility testing In addition, consult the manufacturer or the site of the Publisher for more information.

    "Compatible - Windows 7 Logo" means that this product meets requirements for compatibility with 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7 from Microsoft. To get the "Compatible with Windows 7" logo, software and hardware must pass tests installation, performance, reliability, and security of Microsoft designed so you can be sure that these products are compatible with Windows 7.

    Almost always, if the manufacturer says that its product is "compatible with" a version of Windows, it is safe to install.

  • Workstation 8-Upgrade VM hardware compatibility?

    Salvation;

    I was wondering what the "normal" procedure, when you upgrade the workstation 7 to 8. It is expected that you would normally hold the VM "hardware compatibility at the old level 6-7', or it is expected that you would usually improve the old VM to version 8?" (At least presuming you don't have all the questions where you need to maintain compatibility with other VMware products...).

    I imagine that in both cases you normally install tools version 8. I have Windows 7, Windows XP and Linux Guests.

    Thank you;

    -Greg

    the usual procedure was: download the new version and upgrade virtual hardware to the new

    However with WS 8 I wouldn't only light heart
    you don't even know if it works for you - if I would not upgrade any virtual computer within weeks
    is better to wait until you know that WS 8 works as well as WS 7 on your host - you will not be the first to return to 7 WS

    anyway - as always with risky installs as Windows updated or changes in vmware-tools... take a first snapshot

  • Tecra A7-117 T2300------hardware compatibility with Linux SuSE or RedHat?

    Hello world

    I'm a linux newbie and I tried installing SuSE Linux 10.0.
    But the graphics of the docking station and for the network adapter card is not recognized.

    The graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 HyperMemory and the ATI driver is available
    on the Web site. I guess that this ATI driver installation can be avoided...

    The network adapter is Gigabit-Ethernet type.

    Note = After browsing Internet, I read that a version of Xandros can work...

    If someone managed by installing just SuSE Linux or RedHat on a laptop Tecra A7-117?
    If successful, tell me what version?
    Do you not think that it will be useful to try the "SuSE Linux 10.1" Live-DVD?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I use a live Knoppix CD on my Satellite and it works properly.
    Sorry, but I don t know about the compatibility of Suse on the Tecra A7.
    Always is it that it is not very easy to install Linux distributions on laptops, because there is no drivers for Linux.
    Especially the original drivers of manufacturing are needed to use the operating system on laptop computers.
    To my knowledge, Toshiba doesn't supports Linux.

    But I found a few sites Web from Toshiba for Linux:
    Toshiba Europe site: http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/

    Toshiba US site: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/index.htm

    Maybe you will find some tips on configuring

    Good luck

  • Dc7900: Hardware compatibility with HP DC7900

    Hello everyone.

    I have a question: I need to change the RAM and add a Video card in my PC Desktop DC7900.

    I already opened it, and saw that the RAM compatibility is as "with the hole in the middle of the RAM"

    So I guess it's DDR2 I have to buy.

    Do you think this RAM"PC Core 2 Duo 1 GB 240-pin DDR2 800 Mhz"is compatible with this desktop computer?

    Instead, for the video card, do you think this 512 MB nVidia MSI NVIDIA GeForce 310 Lenovo 57Y4397 VGA Display Port Low Profile (that is the shape of the SFF) video card is Compatible?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    You are the very welcome.

    I do not see where the form indicates that memory is non - ECC, unbuffered.  It must be non - ECC, unbuffered.

    The nVidia video card will probably work.

    But because I know that the pieces I used to walk, I can't tell you for sure 100% that those you want to buy is guarantedd at work.

  • Hardware compatibility

    I bought a replacement (type G5370uk) similar / copy motherboard from the internet. He refused to accept that my new systems reset diskette, or all the discs to re - install or reset Windows. I'm trying to replace/fix without having to buy a new Windows installation disc. Would be a different motherboard, this time purchased from HP, mean duty bin the new systems factory rest of discs and buy another Windows installation, or not, or a purchased HP Board work and accept reset disks? What hyperlink will make me to the store to buy another card mother HP OK?

    If you initially installed a replacement motherboard which was in all respects identical to the original, that you could have just connected everything and started right in Windows.

    HAL (hardware abstract layer) of the operating system requirements would have been met and the system of opaerating would have been unconscious because something has changed.

  • Sanity Check: Hardware compatibility: vMotion/CPU/VCA etc.

    Hi all

    We currently have a DRS cluster with 6 hosts Dell Poweredge R610 with Intel Xeon 5540 or 5530 processors which, according to article KB (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1991) are in Group D for the vMotion compatibility. (Nehalem-EP)

    I want to add new hosts to the cluster and try again Dell R620s. These have Xeon CPU E5-2640. I can't find an article with the same level of detail for the new processors. The compatibility guide Vmware tells me that it is a Sandy bridge processor?


    If I add hosts with newer processors to the cluster, be they work? Or do I have to turn on some sort of CVS mode?


    If I read this article (KB VMware: best vMotion compatibility (EVC) processor support ) he gives to think that I would need to market the VCA Level2 (Nehalem). This would be 'disable' have the CPU features in the new host beyond what former processors... But what happens in 'x' time of years when all guests have disappeared - presumbaly I can then disable compatibility EVC mode so that all the features of the CPU are presented? This would have a negative impact on existing virtual machines?


    Please could someone health mental check me or point me in the direction of something to reassure me?


    Thanks in advance




    NB. Currently on vSphere 4.0, but the upgrade to 5/5.1 soon.



    I suppose that once the VCA mode is activated, it will always be equal to the level of the 'down' (older?) (In this case Nehalem) CPU level up to what the last host with Nehalem processors is removed from the cluster.

    Yes, that's correct.

  • Conversion of hardware compatibility question

    I am running VMware 9 on a host of Win 7-64.  I create only dd VMs, physical disk image files.  If I happen to use a file descriptor 8 VMware vmdk, VMware application 9 if I want to upgrade the hardware.   If my underlying dd image file is read-only, I get a message of "Insufficient permission to access file."  As a first step, which seemed logical, because I don't want to change the dd image file, I put to RO.  However, from what I can tell, if I update a virtual machine from 8 to 9, the only thing that VMware is change the line ddb.virtualHWVersion = '8' to '9' = ddb.virtualHWVersion and create a vmx file appropriate.    No changes are made to the underlying image dd file.  So, if nothing needs to be changed in what concerns the image file, why VMware cares if the image file is RO?  Thank you.

    After clicking finsih - reopen the virtual material Editor. The vmdk not persistent value.
    After that, you can start with all the vmdk NTFS readonly

    Hmmm - I guess I don't see your problem ;-)

  • publish server esxi and CPU/hardware compatibility .vmx files.

    Hello

    I have images that have been created and run on my laptop. (architecture intel, 3 GB)

    I recently downloaded them to the ESXi 4.0.0 server via the client and unfortunately the images do not work when I import them into inventory.

    The server is a dual proc AMD based on HP Proliant server.

    They appear unknown.

    Is it because of the hardware/cpu does not?

    you shouldn't have any problems, run the virtual machine.  I think that your problem is based around the process that allowing you to move the virtual machine.

  • Hardware compatibility with dv4-2049wm

    Hello

    I have a laptop dv4-2049wm and I plan to upgrade my laptop. May I ask if that are the highest CPU & GPU compatible with my laptop?

    Also, if I improve my laptop or not, it's the material that decrease the temperature of my laptop (even if I'm not in air-conditioned places, that room temperature), as the heat weighed or such?

    Thank you!

    Here is your service manual:

    Manual

    You can install up to an i5 2.53 ghz, and there are motherboards with integrated and discrete graphics. Your laptop is a special Wal-Mart. He needs a new motherboard and processor to do an upgrade of the AMD processor that is in it. Those who would cost well more that the laptop is when it is new, not to mention the cost of the work and the risk of damage caused by the upgrade. In most cases, you can't think in terms of upgrading a laptop other than the memory and hard drive. Graphics are not all stretch and a processor upgrade is like brain surgery, with all the costs, challenges and uncertainty of the outcome for the patient. Sell this laptop, and buy a new one and you will come out far in advance.

    With respect to heat, it is by for the course with an AMD laptop. There is no other available radiator and if you can hear your fan rotation works. You can try to blow compressed air vents, but most likely repair is to open and remove dust from the processor all about and install new thermal paste between the cpu and the heatsink. This service can be done by following the steps described in the manual above to get to the CPU. You can also try one of laptop coolers powered by sold to best buy, usb etc...
