ESXi 4 LSI and SAS3042EL compatibility

Hi all

I think I have raid SAS3042EL controller.

It makes me wonder is - this 4 out of the box compatible ESXi?

I would like to plug, connect multiple HARD disks, the raid array and this HARD drive recognized by ESXi 4 without any tricks.

I want to use a card?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi AntakarDonvar,

I think you should be able to use the card without problems.

I used successfully a brand LSI SAS3041E with ESXi 4.0 HP in my lab at home.

The chipset on this map is based corresponds to that used in the Dell SAS 5i/r (not PERC) and only RAID levels 0, 1 and may 10. Please note that the card is just as stupid as you wait for $40. As there are on the PERC that you really need to do a bit of tweaking as soon as you have created your volumes on the map, there is no memory for caching. The tweak is described here:

http://pocitace.Tomasek.cz/SAS5iRperf/index.html

Under "of the SAS 5/iR performance"

There is a version of the tool of LSI BACK and this setting is available in the utility windows management LSI "MSM".

Be sure to connect your system to a UPS system if you enable this setting!

    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).

  • Nexus 1000v - Question about VSM and VEM compatibility update

    I am unable to find Cisco documentation on the backward compatibility of the MEC when you perform an upgrade of the VSM. I'm looking to improve the VSM of 4.2 (1) SV2(2.1a) to 5.2 (1) SV3 (1.15).

    Hosts must be upgraded simultaneously, or they will continue to work with the current MEC? I prefer to leave guests as is and upgrade the MEC as a bundle with the host ESXi 6.0 upgrade to eliminate having two separate windows of failure for the guests.

    ESXi hosts all running 5.5 with VEM cisco-vem-v162-esx (4.2.1.2.2.1a.0 - 3.2.1).

    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Greetings.

    Click on the link below, you can enter your version of esxi, N1k version and versions of destination and will get a high level not list.

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/TD/docs/website/Datacenter/nexus1000/upgrade/n1kvmatrix.html

    You can go directly from the SV2(2.1a) to SV3 (1.15)

    VSM upgrade notes: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus1000/sw/5_2_1_s_v_3_1_15/install_upgrade/guide/b_Cisco_N1KV_VMware_Install_and_Upgrade_Guide_521SV3115/b_Cisco_N1KV_VMware_Install_and_Upgrade_Guide_521SV3115_chapter_010.html

    Please make sure that you check the required CPU, vram, virtual disk space requirements BEFORE, you upgrade the VSM, as demands increase for SV3 versions.

    After that the VSM is updated, your MEC will continue to operate at the older level, until you get updated MEC to level.  You usually don't want to change the major config will be running in this mixed level.

    After the upgrade of the MEC, remember to update the level of functionality of vem, or features that now get discharged to the VSM VEM (netflow, igmp snooping, lacp, etc.) will be continued to be run on the VSM.

  • ESXi 5.5 and RAID

    Good afternoon

    I recently bought a Cooler Master case and build a virtual server. The specifications are:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K @ 3.50 GHz

    Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER Inc. P8Z77-V (LGA1155)

    Hard drives: 3 to 2

    I chose to install the latest version of ESXi (5.5). The first question I had was the NIC not recognized. I could correct this problem by injecting an e1000 driver into the ISO using ESXi-Customizer.

    The next issue, that I met him, it's the software RAID I built out of my Asus motherboard is not recognized by the installer of ESXi. In the BIOS, I have:

    Version of the BIOS 2104

    Intel virtualization technology - enabled

    SATA - RAID mode

    3.6 TB RAID5 (condition: in good HEALTH)

    I spoke with Asus this morning and told me that everything was going well at their end. However, they said that they do not specifically support VMware products. He suggested that finding an Async driver to add to ISO. I can not find it and have found conflicting reports of whether or not this configuration is still supported.

    In short, my P8Z77-V RAID array can be seen by ESXi 5.5 and if so, how?

    Thank you

    Eric

    Software RAID controllers are not supported with ESXi.  If you plan on computer using a RAID system on board, you will need to install a hardware RAID controller.  Trademarks of Adaptec or LSI would be a good starting point.

    We are running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (using VMware View 6.1) virtual work stations and the connection of users to a printer Xerox 4 Type driver/file being hosted on a Windows R2 server in 2012.

    "The printer driver ' improved point and print compatibility Microsoft driver" is not installed on this computer. " Some printer properties will be unavailable, unless you install the printer driver. You want to install the driver now? »

  • ESXi 5.1 and VMFS-3 data warehouses

    We have an existing environment to ESX 3.5 Update 5 7 host and an EMC CX3-10 x iSCSI SAN. We go to decomission 2 ESX hosts and replace them with hardware ESXi 5.1 and recent guests. We realize that we no longer able to manage these hosts ESXi from our Virtual Center 2.5 console, but these two hosts will run a minimum number of virtual machines (Exchange 2010 multirole) that don't use VMotion, DRS and HA.

    Our understanding is that ESX5.1 can see and use VMFS-3 data warehouses. Is it true that, once we plugged the new 5.1 ESXi hosts to our SAN and you can see all the existing LUN that we should be able to stop the virtual machines on two ESX 3.5 hosts and start the virtual machines on the host ESX 5.1 computers?

    Everyone has problems running ESXi 5.1 with VMFS-3 data warehouses?

    Some data warehouses VMFS-3 existing could be improved to VMFS-5 because they are only used by the virtual machines that work on 5.1 ESXi hosts. But some of the data warehouses VMFS-3 existing is not extensible because they are used by the virtual machines running on ESX 3.5 other hosts. In other words, a single virtual machine can have virtual drives running on the VMFS-3 and VMFS-5 warehouses of data at the same time?

    Thank you

    Jay

    VMFS version isn't a problem. What I am more concerned by the fact that your storage system is not supported by ESXi 5.1.

    Thank you

    AZEL,

    Can you give us more details about your current environment?  What is the size and the data store space used? Do you have any storage of additional network attached to the host (for backup purposes)?

    My assumptions of your post do you have 1 stand-alone host with ESXi 4.1 aready installed and you also have a local data store on the same host, but you want to re - install ESXi 4.1 while keeping the contents fo the data store.  Is this correct?

  • The VM OS installs (ESXi 3.5 and 4.1)

    I tried to create a working VM on ESXi 3.5 and 4.1 on a Dell 2850 for the last 2 days without a bit of luck.

    No matter what I do, the result is either 'operating system not found' (when you use the computer settings default virtual for CD/DVD) or the console window just sits there indefinitely with flashing underscore in the top left corner of the screen when I try to map VM CD/DVD to: welcome CD, ISO image of data storage local client CD or ISO local client image.

    I tried with Win2k3 and WinXP OS and have the same results with both.

    I made sure that the config of the BIOS was configured to boot from the CD as the 2nd option in all cases.

    I have no idea what else to try?

    I second everything people have said notably that the disc probably isn't bootable download / bad / bad ISO file.  A simple test is to simply start on a physical computer drive and see if it loads in the configuration of the installation.  You can always cancel without affecting the current installed OS after checking that it works.  Make sure that the CD/DVD is set to connect market, etc... I'm sure you already know.  These disk sizes should be around 400-600 MB in size.
