ESXi 5.1 / 5.5 u1, 2, 3 on HP BL460c G7 - CMTF

Hello

I am some of our old blades (bl460c G8 and G9 passed without a hitch) upgraded to esxi5.5, but the installer crashes.

I tried every update of the 5.1 and 5.5 custom images HP, nothing helps.

Installer seems to run, but group then, as soon as the network drivers load (this is what I concluded). I applied the latest Proliant (2015.10.0) service pack, so firmwares are as up-to-date as possible (interesting note: with firmware older 2011 host installed successfully, but the network was unusable)

Some screens of 5.5u3 (hp cust):

Here the installation program stops loading:

HPcust-esxi5.5u3-BL460cG7-loading.jpg

And then he group:

HPcust-esxi5.5u3-BL460cG7-psod.jpg

Any suggestion or any other resource, I might give a try (tried some vanilla, esxi ISO did not help)? I would really like the latter to join the main cluster, an upgrade of RAM and they could be running smoothly for a few years.

That's what really happened:

  • The management of OA mutilated somehow update firmware, specifically the emulex driver, which made unusable and almost non-updatable
  • Only way to give the ANC emulex in a working state seems to be using the iso flash OneConnect (OneConnect-Flash - 4.9.311.20.iso) available here: http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=co_128972_1
  • Once back in operating condition, the last SPP (2015.10 at the moment) can be mounted with the remote console to perform the update.
  • Once done, and even with the latest firmware of Emulex v10.5.155.0, ESXi 5.5u3 HP works fine.

A signal that the emulex firmware is corrupted is the boot firmware repeated message (which must appear only once):

  • Cannot access ESXi server via network

    Hello world!

    We have a HP C7000 Encolosure with 4 BL460c Gen 8 blades in front size of it. Back size of the C7000, we have 2 SAN Switch, 2 switch HP BLc GbE2c layer 2/3 and 2 Onboard Administrator Module.

    Everything is working fine with IP addresses like this:

    OA active:

    IP address: 172.16.0.253

    STANBY OA:

    IP address: 172.16.0.254

    Server Blade BL460c Bay 1:

    The IP address of the ILO: 172.16.0.10

    Server Blade BL460c Bay 2:

    The ILO IP address: 172.16.0.11

    BL460c blade Bay 9:

    The ILO IP address: 172.16.0.19

    Server Blade BL460c Bay 10:

    The ILO IP address: 172.16.0.20

    We can ping pc that connected to the port of ILO on Onboard Administrator (OA) IP addresses above. (I can it call PC MANAGE?)

    Continue, we access OA via Web https://172.16.0.253 use of , then Console integrated to control 4 Server blades. We have mounted image ESXi 5.1 U1 and successfully installed on 4 servers blade.

    We manually config IP address on each ESXi Server (like this):

    BL460c Server Blade on Bay 1 as server ESXi 1:

    IP address: 10.0.0.11

    BL460c Server Blade on Bay 2 as server ESXi 2:

    IP address: 10.0.0.12

    BL460c Server Blade on Bay 9 as a server ESXi 9:

    IP address: 10.0.0.19

    BL460c Server Blade on 10 Bay as a server ESXi 10:

    IP address: 10.0.0.20

    Now we can ping server to another server ESXi ESXi 1. I mean 4 Blade Server can ping together.

    BUT:

    -We can not ping servers to blade PC of manage (that PC connect to the port of ILO on OSTEOARTHRITIS. In this scene, MANAGE PCs has the IP 172.16.0.100/16)

    -We unplug the network cable from the port of iLO, then connect it to the port number 24 on HP BLc GbE2c LY 2/3 switch, then address IP of the PC to MANAGE the 10.0.0.100/24 value. Always the same, can only access servers

    Can someone explain to me how to access this server (ping, http, etc...). Do we have to config switch HP BLc GbE2c LY 2/3? We read many many guide on the HP website, but they have not mentioned about routing or switch to configure

    Thanks in advance!

    It's my mistake!

    My servers have 2 connections FlexLOM. That a connection has been enabled for 'network management' in ESXi. I do not understand, then I activated 2 connections. That cause outside the network can not access them.

    I just disabled a single connection and everything works perfectly.

    I thank everyone!

  • MTRR error on installation in virtualbox esxi5.5

    Hi guys,.

    I met a MTRR error while trying to install esxi 5.5 in a VirtualBox (ver 4.3.20) that runs on CentOS 6.6.

    Vbox parameters are:
    Type: Linux
    Version: Linux 2.6/3.x (64-bit)
    RAM: 4096 MB
    CPU: 2core

    Iso is a bootable, but hung with purple screen and mentioned about: no variable MTTRs: assuming that ESX is running in a virtual machine.

    How can I get rid of the problem? Thank you!

    The message about the MTRR is just a warning.  The GROUP was the result of an #GP exception.  Please start ESXi with additional vmkernel "vmbASLR = FALSE" and post a picture of the CMTF.

  • STOR. ESXi and E BASICS

    I have this problem:
    We use servers that are virtualized with ESXi Hypervisor.
    And the Windows operating system uses the STOR. E BASICS 500 GB to backup their data.

    Now a hard drive of this type felt, the hard drive is about 1 year ago.
    So I want to swap the drive with one of the same only more recent type, but now ESXi does not realize it.

    In a Windows operating system, the drive works fine, but ESXi, I have a chance!
    Y at - it a new firmware or something differnet changed?

    Experiences?

    The STOR. E BASICS 500 GB 2.5 "is the USB3.0 external HARD disk.
    It s a device plug n - and - play, requiring no additional drivers.

    Toshiba says that this HARD drive works properly under Microsoft Windows XP/Vista / Windows® 7 8/Windows/Windows 8.1

    The HARD disk supports the USB3.0 standard, and this means that you must 900mA can get it recognised correctly.
    In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized on USB 2.0, I recommend you to use a USB cable to Y which allows to connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports

  • Mac OS x won't start on mac pro esxi host

    We have the latest mac pro machine functioning as a construction of host 5.5.0 esxi 2718055.  We have setup the virtual Mac machine of the as a waiter in a magic triangle to our Mac OSX windows domain configuration.  Everything was up and running for some time now not really used because we delayed the purchase of our projected deployment Mac until this year.  I logged on today, and he says he has several updates and necessary to restart, so we issued the command reboot. Now the machine won't start upward.  It starts the boot process you see the Apple logo and progress bar starts moving on a 1/4 of the way and then it just turned off. I tried several of the commands below in the link, but nothing works, it just turns off. I tried to use my mac with vm ware fusion and the connection to the host and always change. I have triple checked that I am in the comments window active when you press these commands, but the problem is it only stays on during approximately 5 seconds then stops. I have removed from the inventory of esxi and re added, as well as restarted the ESXi host as well.  The virtual machine is sitting on the local storage of the esxi server.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-AU/HT201255

    Has anyone else had a problem similar to this?  I'm getting to this section and the progress bar starts to go, but then stops and turns off virtual machine.  How can I enter in address this further.

    Okay, so I went through the list and now I got using the command option r. tried before but maybe I press the keys long enough.  I was using my mac book pro and pro fusion to do all this. Couldn't make it work when you use the client heavy vsphere on my windows machine. Repair disk permissions is grayed out. I ran check disk permissions and got a ton of errors, ran check disk and he stopped saying repair the disk. Ran repair disk and he stopped to say that he cannot repair the disk, backup as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your backup files.

    Is there another way to try to fix this sucker, or is he at this point a POS and build a new one?

  • PowerEdge Raid700 in RD540 with ESXi Thinkserver

    Hello

    I'll put up a hypverisor 5.5 ESXi update 2 on a lenovo RD540. There is a RAID700 controller.

    I use 3 HARD drive in a RAID6 configured with the tool of the bios (Mega RAID LSI)

    The server works fine, but I don't see the healthy of the RAID on the ESXi.

    I don't see the virtual disk, not the adapter of storage or physical disks. If one lose a disc ESXi does not know, I hear only the PIF from the server.

    How can I solve this problem?

    If I use the "Lenovo easy start' to install ESXi RAID adapter will be with ESXi?

    Thank you in advance.

  • OpenManage 8.3.0 ESXi 6.0 bug?

    I think that I found a bug.

    I create Custom ISOs for ESXi 6.0 so I can include the latest drivers and the VIBs for our storage.

    I created a new ISO with ESXi 6.0 Update 2 with the last VIB Dell OpenManage 8.3.0.

    (6.0) vCenter Update Manager, I have the Dell repo as a download source: https://vmwaredepot.dell.com/index.xml

    I downloaded the OpenManage 8.3.0 VIB from here:

    NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

    However, now when I run a scan of the host with Update Manager, it fails and the error in esxupdate.log:

    2016 04-28 T 15: 44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR: ValueError: cannot merge VIBs Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.3.0.ESXi600 - 0000, 0000 - Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.3.0.ESXi600 with the attributes of uneven loads: ([OpenManage: KB 7809,081], [OpenManage: 7807,439 KB])

    I see an older version of OpenManage who had this same error and it was a bug.

    Things I've done: database reset VUM, which I can then analyze the hosts successfully. Once I added in the repo of Dell, he begins fail again with the error above in the esxupdate.log file.

    Anyone else see the same thing?

    The last I heard about Dell, they said that they would not solve this problem, but to focus on the next version. I have not seen a 8.4 version, so as a work-around, you need to uninstall OMSA 8.3 of all your machines and then reinstall it from the repo.

    Huge PITA so. Another option is to reset your vCenter VUM of the base and do not add in the repo of Dell. Then you will be able to scan your guests without problem again.

    Thanks Dell!

  • Difference between ISO ESXi M420 and M630. Is this the same ISO?

    This ISO works for my m630s so?

    Yes, it's the same file. The two show under systems supported and same hash.
