ESXi 4.0 & incompatible network adapter

I'm trying to install ESXi to see if it's something I want to use on your desktop new HP Z800 , which comes with 2 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet network adapters. Here, I installed the other OS (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008), and two of them see network adapters, so I know that they are in good working condition.

When I try to install ESXi, he goes through the process of decompression for a long time while it comes with a screen of text style 'BACK' base indicating "no compatible network adapter found. Please see the hardware compatibility Guide (HGC of the product) for the list of supported cards. "and won't let me go any further in the installation process.

First why should place one network adapter for installation? Second, why is it something special because it seems to me (a type of material being not) that all network cards are basically the same today?

I crossed and applied all the updates (BIOS, Chipset, etc.) to the material that I can apply and as I said works with at least two operating systems, so I don't know how to go beyond that.

Clues?

> First place why should one network adapter for installation?

ESXi is managed from the remote computer, so ESXi without network card is unnecessary.

> that all network cards are basically the same days now

They are not.

  • ESXI 4 host only network adapter

    I am trying to set up an environment one host to test several servers.  In the 2.0 version of Windows, you can assign the adapter to one of the three parameters.  Bridge, host or NAT.

    I can't find a way to configure the host only to run multiple test servers.  Perfect example of this need is run DHCP and hide your production of LAN.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.  ESX (i) only provides a virtual switch (vSwitch) which is a bit like a physical switch.  You get no NAT or bypass with her.   But here's what you can do.

    (1) since the installation, you will have the default vSwitch which will have a virtual machine port group that can communicate with your local network.

    (2) create an another vSwitch, who is not related to any physical NIC port.  Go to Configuration-networking and click Add networks.  Select the type of virtual machine connection and then click Next.  You'll want a new vSwitch and there will be no NIC port.

    (3) then you will create a VM firewall with two virtual cards - NIC the vSwitch LAN connection and the other in isolation vSwitch.   There are a number of devices firewall free that you can use for this can provide DHCP and NAT

    (4) when you create your isolated virtual machines, just put them on the vSwitch isolated and you will be able to control access to network with firewalls VM.

  • "No found compatible network adapter" Blade HP VirtualConnect upgrade to ESXi 5

    Hello

    I just upgraded a HP Proliant BL490c G6 of ESXi 4.1.0 to ESXi 5.0 U2. The host started OK but did not find the network interface cards. The exact error message at logon on the screen is "no compatible network adapter found. Please consult Hardware Compatibility Guide (HCG product) for supported cards. »

    The host uses HP Virtual Connect for networking.

    As a host ESXi 4 that there worked.

    Using Update Manager 5 it has been then upgraded to ESXi 5 using the Image of ESX Custom HP (HP - ESX - 5.0.2 - standard-iso build 914586), which is when he lost the network cards.

    (A similar upgrade of a G7 BL490c in the same chassis worked well)

    When the blade reached ESXi version 4.1 network cards appeared in the viclient like Broadcom NetXtreme II 57711E/NC532i 10 Gig Ethernet.

    A look at Versions of driver in HP provided images VMware ESX/ESXi http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/vmware-esxi/driver_version.html shows that net-bnx2 - Version - 2.2.1l.v50.1 - 1 & net-bnx2x - Version - 1.72.54.v50.2 - 1 are both included in the image of the building.

    VirtualConnect firmware is version 3.15

    Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?

    See you soon

    Guy

    You must start the server blades with the "HP for ProLiant Service Pack CD" to update the firmware of the NETWORK adapter.

    Online firmware updates are also possible (using "Smart Components"), but unfortunately not for the network adapters.

    See my HP & VMware links page for the relevant download links.

  • Several subnets on a single NETWORK adapter

    I have two subnets, I want to be able to use with my virtual machines on a server with 5.5 ESXi.  I have only a single NETWORK adapter that is available on the host.

    The VMkernel default Port, vmk0 is assigned the IP 10.208.82.34/29.  The default gateway is 10.208.82.33.  Can I add virtual network adapters to virtual machines and the ping without problem to a host outside the subnet 10.208.82.32/29.

    I created a second Port VMkernel, vmk1 and assigned the IP 10.108.65.38.  Then, I set up a second virtual NETWORK adapter inside a virtual machine with an IP address of 10.108.65.33.  I can't ping this new IP address, 10.108.65.33, to another host.   However, I can ping 10.108.65.38 without any problem.  If adding a second card virtual NETWORK to a different virtual machine and assign it 10.108.65.34, I thing ping 10.108.65.33 without any problem.  I cannot ping this address, 10.108.65.34, another host either.

    I know that the issue is not routing as doing a traceroute from a host shows the correct path is taken.  determination of route of 10.108.65.38 complete normally.  I don't have access to the network infrastructure, because it is a server in a data center.

    The VMkernel, vmk1, using the 10.108.65.38, is accessible from the default gateway and the other hosts in the data center.  However when I attribute 10.108.65.33 to a virtual machine, I can't reach that what anyone outside the 10.108.65.32/29 network, which is my problem right now.  If I assign an address in the subnet of 10.108.65.32/29 as the single IP address to a virtual computer, it still does not work is not a problem of routing within the virtual machine.

    I feel as if I had something simple here as it seems to work almost disappeared.


    Here is the configuration of the network:

    Network.png

    This is the routing table:

    ~ # esxcfg - road - l

    VMkernel itineraries:

    Interface of network gateway subnet mask

    10.108.65.32 255.255.255.248 subnet local vmk1

    10.208.82.32 255.255.255.248 subnet local vmk0

    by default 0.0.0.0 10.208.82.33 vmk0

    I ended up having the point of provider the subnet 10.108.65.32/29 to their router or switch to 10.208.82.38, I have basic and then install a Linux router with iptables to route traffic to myself.

  • ESXi test with disconnected network run?

    I practice the migration of my current server VMware ESXi 5 2 environment.  Everything seems smooth with the conversion to the test area that will hold everything until the new server is in place.  I wish I could on ESXi machines just to make sure I can document the traps and understand the fixes before doing it for real in fact.

    I use the 5 ESXi as a virtual machine on my 8 processor AMD FX-8350 4.0 Workstation (4 allocated) GHz with 16 GB of RAM (8 GB allocated) and a TB of space assigned to the datastore1 of the VM.  I installed a second NETWORK card and configured the virtual computer to use it. I installed the client vSphere on the workstation itself.  I also created a virtual machine inside the VM ESXi running server 2008 std, vsphere client and veeam tools.

    Hello

    Here are two options.

    First option

    Right click on virtual machine---> edit configuration---> network adapter---> uncheck the box to connect to the power on option.

    Second Option:

    Create virtua vswitch on ESXi host without adding any nic vSwitch. Create machine virtual portgroup in this vswtich. Add this port group to this machine of virtua.

    Both this option will be the machine of course that is not network.

  • ESXi 5 - vsphere: private network creation

    Hello

    I have an esxi Server 5 with a single physical network adapter.

    I want to create a VM with:

    -a network adapter that is connected to the card (eth0) Physics

    -a network card destined to another virtual network (eth1)

    on the vm I want to install a pxe dhcp serving as the "eth1.

    and I want to create other vm on the eth1

    PB:

    I have UN vswitch with several groups of ports that are related to physics of the map on vsphere.

    but then if I created a VM and I attribute 2 network cards of the same group they are also connected to physics of the card.

    so I do not see too

    Thank you

    It's quite it, you create a second vSwitch who is logged on no physical map

  • Best practices for the collection of network adapter for network management

    Quote from http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/VMW-Server-WP-BestPractices.pdf :

    Aggregation and network management networks:

    To set up a team of network for the management network adapter, configure the network adapters in the vSwitch
    configuration of the ESX/ESXi host, for configuration active / standby.

    The vSwitch must be configured as follows:
    The load balancing • route = based on the original (default) virtual port code
    • Restore = 'No '.
    • vSwitch0: two physical network adapters (for example: vmnic0 & vmnic2)
    • Two groups of ports (for example, vMotion and management)

    In this example, the management network works on vSwitch0 as active vmnic0 and watches over vmnic2.
    The vMotion network works on vSwitch0 as active vmnic2 and watches over vmnic0.

    My configuration:

    The two active adapters (not active / standby)

    Failback = 'Yes '.

    Not clear if the network management and vMotion are both active on the same vmnic or different.

    Question:

    Is smart enough to keep the network management and vMotion on different vmnic SE to ESXi 4.1 or I should change to active / standby config and make sure they are on different vmnic?

    It would make a noticeable difference?

    Ah yes, you are right in your configuration then.  I would never mix NIC vendors in any type of trunk, I saw things get funky now and then.  VAAI won't give you an advantage when you do a storage vMotion, normal vMotion will always use the same amount of traffic, because memory cards must always be copied between hosts.  It is advisable to devote at least a card NETWORK management and at least one NETWORK adapter to vMotion, if you can have two vSwitches with two NIC each then I would use explicit order of failover you mentioned.  Hope that helps!

  • ESXi 4.0 host network adapters

    I'm kinda a noob here, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have an ESXi host with two network adapters. My configuration is to have an adapter connected to the Internet and an adapter connected to my internal network. I want to do in order to implement an router ISA in a VM and use a NAT to clients internal and other virtual machines. Is this possible?

    I thought it would be as simple as the external adapter with DHCP configuration to obtain the address of my ISP and configuration of the adapter internal staically and then simply using vSwitches to connect the adapters with my computers invited to use the appropriate physical card. The problem is that when I go in the shell of ESXi, you can only configure dynamic or static for the management network and there is no options to configure two adapters separately. I see my internal adapter properly configured with a static address in the vClient, but the external adapter shows a range of IP addresses observed of 10.229.128.1 - 10.229.129.254. Where did that come from? Do I need to use the command-line utility to configure this? If so, what commands can do that? Thanks in advance!

    No need to reboot the host. Basically, all you need are two vSwitches. The first one connected to the LAN internal groups of 2 ports, one for the VMKernel (with the configured IP settings) and one for the network of the Virtual Machine. The second vSwitch only requires a Virtual Machine port group.

    Configure the virtual machine (your router ISA) with two network cards virtual, a related internal and external vSwitch. Make sure the settings for virtual network cards are set to "Connect at Power On" and are in the 'connected' State when the virtual machine is up and running.

    Depending on your ISP, you should get a DHCP IP address on the external vNIC by configuring it to "Automatic" in the guest OS.

  • Adapter Intel dual AND installed - VM shows the Intel Pro/MT network adapter?

    Hi all

    I installed a dual adapter Intel AND in my host of ESXi v4.0.

    Loaded the driver through "vihostupdate out connection-bundle" > ok.

    INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12.1-offline_bundle-185976.zip

    The problem is that when I use this card in a VM it appears like an Intel pro/MT as a dual adapter Intel network card AND.

    In my view, this means that the NETWORK card will not work correctly.

    Advanced properties do not show the Intel network card options AND has.

    My question is:

    -How do I find and "bind" the good driver for this NETWORK adapter?

    Thank you Jaap

    PS

    I had set it up correctly on this system before.

    To test my installation doc, I started on.

    You will never see the physical NIC in the comments because he comes to virtualized hardware. Either you see map of VMware or em, regulated Intel E1000.

    When you see how an Intel adapter in the prompt the vNIC is defined on the type Intel E1000. You can also choose to use different "vmxnet» types

    However, the drivers, you need to come with VMWare tools, you must install in each guest. While the type of vNIC "e1000" can be used with the drivers shipped with the guest operating system, you need VMWare tools if you use type of vNIC «vmxnet»
