ESXi 4.1 installed on a life issue, USB flash drive

Hello

I just installed a new server ESXi 4.1 on a (internal port) USB flash drive. I heard these flash drives USB gets used a lot of Scriptures; I do pay attention on the ESXi host to maximize the life of the USB? Maybe switch logs in a data store, if possible?

Someone at - it information on how long will last my with ESXi USB flash drive?

Thanks in advance!

... what I do pay attention on the ESXi host to maximize the life of the USB? Maybe switch logs in a data store, if possible?

VMware optimizes access R/W if you install ESXi on a flash or SD drive. If I'm not mistaken, some changes are written only once in an hour. Depending on the size of the flash player, you can configure the location of the scratch partition (which is used for discharges of support etc.) to be on one of your data warehouses (HARD drive)

Someone at - it information on how long will last my with ESXi USB flash drive?

This depends mainly on the quality of the drive itself. Some providers (like Dell) offer models of server with two type of a RAID1 SD cards.

  • p6710f, crashes at startup when installing 2 Cruzer of Sandisk USB flash drives

    Hello

    Question: My HP p6710f desktop computer crashes at startup when 2 Sandisk Cruzer USB drive (8 GB/FAT32, a 16 GB/FAT32) is installed in a hub Targus USB2 multiport (connected to the back USB port of p6710f).

    With USB flash drives installed, from a market boot: Boot past the BIOS (blue) screens, then 'underline' cursor blinks just on the black screen and hangs.  It does not start a Win7 from the hard drive.

    With USB flash drives installed, from a bunch of market: If in the (blue) BIOS screen, I hit the ESC and select the hard disk device (which is the top of the "boot device") then boot proceeds normally and boots Win7 from the hard drive.

    If I do the trunk with the key removed USB, the boot process proceeds normally and starts Win7 disk.

    I have flashed to the latest ROM system from the support page of p6710f.  Who really seemed to solve the problem for a while, but the hook finally reappeared.

    I copied all the data on USB flash drives, formatted their 'rapid' and copied all the data back.  No joy.

    Here is a link to the Sandisk Cruzers.  I deleted all the files on U3/etc. out of them, I want all of the space available on them for auxiliary data storage, I can't boot from them:

  • How to recover from the failure of a with ESXi USB flash drive?

    I have ESXi 5.5 running on a 16 GB USB flash drive.  The system itself has a RAID card and drives mirrored where all virtual machines are stored, so it seems to me that a critical point of weakness is the drive itself.  If die ESXi itself running flash player, is there a procedure to recover the virtual machines on the disks?  Or should I keep a backup of my drive as well?

    1. How to restore the operating system assuming that the flash drive fails? If I reinstalled ESXi on a new drive of the same thumb, would see the VMware VMs existing on the hard drives of the server? Or is the process of discovery of the relatively painless existing virtual machines?

    If your flash drive goes down, will not be a problem that you have your virtual machines without danger on the separate data store in the locally attached storage drives. all you got to do is to reinstall ESXi host, he will be happy to see the existing VMFS data store and browse this data store where are stored the re-save you and virtual machines in the inventory.

    See also changes following KB to make the backup of your ESXi as operating system configuration and when you change the configuration at the time of the failure of ESXi, you don't have to worry about re-configuarting it

    VMware KB: Backup and restore configuration using the vSphere command-line Interface and vSphere PowerCLI ESXi

    1. How can I maintain redundancy for my USB failure? Can I have two drives connected and automatically backup flash / mirror the first hard drive to the second?

    This is not possible (I never tried myself) If you use an external flash drive, but let's say that you have any material to the specific provider giving this feature as

    DELL IDSDM http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/poweredge-idsdm-whitepaper-en.pdf

    or another supplier giving a similar feature, then it is quite possible to mirror. Otherwise, the best option is take config. backup using KB, I mentioned in the first answer.

  • Another corrupt ESXi USB flash drive

    I have a USB flash drive as boot ESXi disk get corrupted, I thought it was a fluke, so I threw away the USB key and reinstalled ESXi on a new USB flash drive. Well, after a little more than a year, this flash drive has been corrupted as well as ESXi follow the start-up procedure.

    Are consumers just don't required to act as a start-up for ESXi readers forever on the servers of USB flash drives? My actual VMs are on the hard disks on the server so I guess that the USB flash drive was not getting a lot of work too far than go of reads/writes. I know major integrators offer ESXi built in running off some flash internal drive so I assumed that flash was reliable. What is the difference between these types of enterprise flash drives and consumer flash drives? Or it is just a risk for all flash drives and it is preferable to install ESXi for one SSD or HARD drive?

    I always suggest installing ESXi on a flash drive of business as sellers to test these players for the highest reliability and performance while consumer flash drives are not tested.

    Consumer grade flash drive are low grade MLC (multi-level cell) based provide the alternative and low-cost storage adequate all-in-business level kitsuse flash drive boast of a higher level of performance and more

  • Does anyone has installed ESX 3.5 on a USB Flash drive?

    Hello

    I read some comments on how to get ESXi on a USB Flash drive, but I wonder if the same thing is possible with ESX 3.5?  The reason why I ask is that many of our ESX servers are wired directly into our DS/4700 IBM SAN for their data warehouses and we currently have local disks for the operating system itself.  Cost-mindedly, it would be wonderful if we can just install ESX operating system on a flash drive $15 (which would never be deleted you mind) as opposed to hard drives IBM overpriced or the boot-from-SAN.  The thought of having an identical set also to go with our identical to our disaster recovery site hardware is also very attractive. If someone could provide an answer on this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you!

    -John

    If you ask if it is possible, yes it's possible.  Incorporated just means it is preinstalled on removable media (usually a flash drive, but it's the same thing).

    With regard to the instructions, google it.  There are a LOT of messages.

  • do not install USB flash drive

    Hello, my usb flash drive is read as ipod to computer and can access the contents of the disc.

    Hello

    The issue seems to be with the AutoPlay settings. AutoPlay starts playback of a disc as soon as you insert media in the drive. As a result, the Setup file of programs and the music on audio media start immediately. If in automatic execution, the device is configured to be detected as media device it will detect your IPod USB flash drive.

    I suggest to fix the AutoPlay parameter by downloading the file below and check the results: AutoPlay Repair Wizard: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=C680A7B6-E8FA-45C4-A171-1B389CFACDAD&displaylang=en

  • External drives, USB, USB Flash Drives, "driver software device is not installed. Problem Acer and Windows 7

    Not sure one I'm more frustrated with.  Acer or Microsoft

    Try to get decent customer service out either seems so difficult.

    OK, it's a pretty common problem.  I've seen this around other forums and each finger to Microsoft points.

    Flash USB, Jump Drives thumb drives, Memory Sticks, players, whatever they are called, they do not work on my Acer laptop.  Everything works still perfectly on my Vista PC and my work XP.  So they are not damaged.  Also an external Freecom USB 1 TB drive.  Does not work on Windows 7.

    I have an Acer 5338 (less than one year) which unfortunately as as a manufacturer OEM for Microsoft Windows are not interested in help to say that there is problem Acer.  ACERS site does not even recognize the existence of the cell phone model I which makes contact them for a solution physically impossible (everyone has a phone number or e-mail address >).  In any case, they had a free upgrade to Win 7.  (Oh you can't imagine how much I care that I didn't...).

    So I've updated.  And all USB memory devices do not work all of a sudden.

    All of them try to load drivers then give up with the error message.

    Just to get the usual answers to the road!

    • I tested the USB ports.  All work.
    • I uninstalled all the USB ports and let the Win 7 to reinstall. No problem
    • I deleted the file that records discs.
    • I made a new clean install.  Nothing has changed.
    • Cannot switch the chipset drivers.  Won't let me, says I don't need them
    • Each drive is displayed during the startup screen.
    • Each drive appears in Device Manager but the poster as a fault.
    • Updated installed, removed, re-installed all the drivers on the planet.
    • Tried the solution of "regedit" suggested elsewhere, temptation of power my laptop, lucky I system restored to the top.
    • Does not appear in disk management, so cannot deal with any drive letter conflict.
    • Have no viruses.
    • Have one firewall installed.
    • Prayed
    • Touched the thing of reversal
    • Pleaded
    • Pretended to cry.  Not interested.

    So, I'm hoping against hope that someone has a solution to this problem.  I have a vague idea that it might be something to do with the "ports" and the port settings.  I'm afraid is a closed book to me, so please, geniuses everywhere, please help!  Give me something new to try!

    Or a way to talk to a human being at Acer!

  • Installing ESX 3.5 on USB Flash?

    Hi all!

    I faced an interesting question for me: we bought IBM BladeCenter with HS servers 21 XM without flash disk USB (4 GB) with ESXi 3.5 hypervisor in this regard, in addition, we purchased the license on ESX 3.5 Standard sort... I have tried to install ESX on usb flash and had some trouble, I can't used the automatic partitioning of usb flash and he did it in itself:

    102 mb for/Boot

    1200 MB swap

    Vmkcore 102 mb

    542 MB/var/log

    2000 mb /.

    for vmfs3 I used external FC LUN, then I got the success on my installation, but during the initialization of my server (exactly on the VMWARE ESX Server is started) I had the breakdown. I got the console access to the server and when I look for FS on usb flash I see all the files but no fstab! Is it possible to install ESX server or not.

    Thank you for all comments proffessional.

    Best regards.
