ESXi 4 Installable U1 + taken VMware supported SD cards?

I searched the Forum a bit ( http://communities.vmware.com/message/1476000#1476000 and http://communities.vmware.com/message/1471521#1471521 for example) and really have not found a good (or official VMware) answer the question of SD cards supported in versions installed ESXi user.  My biggest concern is the support.  Are the supported user installed SD card? For now, I'm setting up a new R710 with SD reader module internal and my support is through VMware and not Dell.  I was told (by Vmware sales) that VMware does NOT support install ESXi SD card, unless it is installed through the OEM directly.  But it seems strange.  I have the Essentials, so I don't get taken in charge unless I paid $300 per incident anyway. But I want to just make sure that if I called VMware they cling on me because I use a SD boot ESXi.  I really like installation on flash/SD because I think the management is far superior to the disk HARD local installs (as mentioned in previous posts).   Unfortunately, now I do not know what to think about the support... http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/sad.gif There is no mention in the HCL of Flash cards or SD recommended or taken in charge.  This seems to be a really horrible exclusion IMO since the ESXi 4 U1 install documentation refer to the HCL for Flash devices are supported.

Seems like there is a lot of confusion on this issue from the perspective of support.  Can someone clarify this once and for all the GOLD offer some guidelines that wanted to keep me supported by VMware? All I found was this article (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1010574) that references the USB flash devices.  This kind of logic applies to the SD cards as well?  I bought the kit SD from Dell (Dell's SD map - which seems to be a generic Kingston 1 GB).  If someone can offer comments/insight I would really appreciate it.  Thank you...

Hello

I was almost in your situation some time ago. In any case, I will share with you my thoughts. Maybe help you.

I was evaluation install ESXi 4.0 for free in some IBM M2 x 3550 servers in internal USB flash

As you say this KB is therefore clear: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1010574

Install esxi (built-in) USB is supported only if is done by the supplier of OEM (HP, Dell, IBM and Fujitsu-Siemens). Is also supported an ESXi installable install by the user by using the provider OEM USB flash devices supported (and local support for hard disks).

The statement above apply to the SD devices.

If I am mistaken, HP Dell not install the embedded version of esxi in an internal SD and is fully supported by vmware. Don't forget vmware has a agreement with all this OEM provider to fully support their esxi facilities incorporated.

For example, think about this hypothetical situation. If the full SD/USB support dies and your virtual environment is partially/fully down, it's a good idea to have a SD/USB backup to get up the infrastructure as quickly as possible. Is this not supported? I don't think so

In any case, if you want to be 100% sure, purchase the material supplier Server esxi embedded wirh installed and maybe get a backup supported (provider) SD

Hope this long answer helps you

Best wishes / Saludos.

  • ESXi 4 Installable not right in the image of the Linux tools?

    Hi people,

    Well, I'm very frustrated with VMWare (lack of) support at this stage. I registered for and got a free download of ESXi 4 Installable. Because of the prompt that I install, I need to access the image Alternative VMWare Tools CD for Linux guest operating systems as mentioned in the manual. It does not seem possible, however. The URL to download it gives a warning 'no access '.

    I filed a support ticket with the following text:

    & gt; I asked and got licensed 4 ESXi Installable by filling the

    & gt; forms on your site. Because of my guest operating system should I need download VMware

    & gt; Guest tools for operating systems Linux CD image. However this URL

    & gt; http://downloads.VMware.com/download/download.do?downloadGroup=ESXI40 said

    & gt; that I do not have access. How can I access download the ISO? -What

    & gt; available for paying customers?

    and received a notice saying:

    & gt; We have re-entered your ESXi version on your account and could solve

    & gt; your question. You can now download the ISO file via:

    & gt; http://downloads.VMware.com/download/download.do?downloadGroup=ESXI40

    Of course, it did not work.  So, I reopened the ticket and told me:

    & gt; I have been advised that you should contact our team of license under

    & gt; [[email protected]] for that matter.

    So I reached out to this address and received this response:

    & gt; My name is XXXX XXXX and I will assume ownership of your

    & gt; Support demand, # and work with you to solve this problem

    & gt; issue.

    & gt; If I understand correctly notes request for assistance, the question that you are

    & gt; challenging is assistance downloading the VMWare Tools CD

    & gt; image for Linux guest OS that must be supplied in ESXi 4.

    & gt; This is a technical question and you do not have a valid support.

    & gt; I would say to see this link http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/esxi?view=discussions & numResults = 15

    & gt; You can ask questions in the forum.

    I don't think it's a question of forum, but: no matter who else could download the image tools? Should what email address I go to get my account setup properly? Or, if someone can confirm that ESXi 4 installable free licenses not right in the image of other tools?

    The download will offer different versions of VMware Tools, then you get on the ESXi installation.  You could try to sign for a vSphere eval to access the page.  If this does not work, send me a PM and I'll follow up with someone on getting that fixed.

  • T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

    Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

    We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

    • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
    • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
    • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

    New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

    I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

    See you soon,.

  • VMware Tools error, can not download and install the tools: "internal error of the client CD (3033). Contact your system or VMware Support Administrator"

    Hello

    I installed Windows Pro 8.1 x 64 RTM with Rollup GA A on PC, after that I installed VMware Player 6.0.1 and when I tried to download and install VMware Tools, I got the following error message: "internal error of the client CD (3033).» Contact your administrator system or VMware Support. »

    How can I install these tools? Please, fix the problem with the Server CD, I need to install VMware Tools.

    I tried to download on the deposit of CDS - / www/internship/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/player but there is no record for the VMware Player 6.0.1 version, while the Tools-windows - 9.6.0.exe.tar is a strange form, how can I install these tools in VMware Player?

    Thank you.

    Workaround solution:

    1. download the trial of VMware Workstation 10

    2. install

    3. navigate to the Program files VMware Workstation 10

    4. find windows.iso, copy to USB or transfer it to some hosting

    5. go the machine to hosts, copy on it windows.iso

    6. inside of the guest computer mount windows.iso as drive

    7 install tools

    8 restart the guest computer

    That's all

    P.S. I am very disappointed, that such large and respected company, like VMware, after almost a month, since the question has been raised cannot pay 10 minutes and fixes a bug with CD-server and allow their users to download & install VMware Tools without any problems, even if we are talking about free product such as VMware Player!

  • How VMWare supports 3D graphics acceleration?

    We want to use virtual system to test our HTML5 performance.

    Thus, 3D graphics acceleration is necessary.

    But we are new on the 3D graphics technology and this made feather supported in VMWare.

    So, my question is, VMWare support Direct3D, OpenGL, or both?

    How active them?

    No I'm sorry, you have to build yourself the vmwgfx driver and to work and then you still use a product that is not yet still in beta.

    If you are likely to see problems with it, even if you would get to work.

    The easy answer with acceleration hardware openGL support for Linux is to wait until it is available to the public.

  • Satellite A300 - card reader does support SDXC cards?

    How can I find out if my SD card reader supports SDXC cards.
    My laptop is a satellite A300 and the properties of the so-called card reader 'SDA Standard compatible SD Host controller'.

    I am able lto using SDXC cards with this device and if not I am able to upgrade the software to support SDXC cards?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    I read in the forum on Satellite A300 card reader and I found the info very useful.
    The card reader supports the types of cards:

    -SD Card - 8MB - 2GB
    -SDHC - 4 GB card
    -photo - 16 MB - 2 GB xD card
    -Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
    -Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
    -MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
    -miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

    As you can see that the SDXC cards are not taken in charge... in this case I recommend using a common external USB card that would support the SDXC cards

    Hello

    Error: the serial number is not valid, says that you have tried to install a tool that is not designed for this series of portable.
    Are you sure you have the right tool for the right laptop model?

    It could also be another reason for this problem that you tried to install the tool in the wrong order.

  • What is the maximum value supported SD card speed, class

    Hello

    I would like to know what the maximum taken in charge SD card support is class for a slot for SD cRIO-9031.

    I need to enter a SDHC card to be purchased for use in this system. I need "Industrial" SD cards and the speed indication changes the price considerably. (Class 4 vs. Class10 UHS-1 the two 8 GB, the latter is 4 x times the price of the first appr.) EUR200)

    Please provide me with the material specifications of the cRIO-9031 SD card slot (manual specification of '376261-02' States: ' removable SD (user-provided) up to 32 GB ")

    Hi André,.

    CompactRIO-9031 supports the SD write speed of up to 10 MB/s and supports the standard SDHC cards. As a result, SDHC Class 10 cards speed must be supported. Please see page 4 of the manual from the link below:

    http://www.NI.com/PDF/manuals/376261a_02.PDF

    However, there are many factors that can influence the observed flow rate as the compressibility of the data, write speed loop, write size etc. Please be aware of these factors when programming.
