• Reference Dell M620 and M820 ESXi 5.1 installation

  I'm relatively new to VMware on Dell hardware. The closest thing that I believe to a custom image is 'VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 Image Recovery"(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=RD5JN). I assumed it to be ESXi 5.1 update 1 with favorite Dell specifc driver packages. I had planned to use this new installs feeling that it would include the latest drivers for my Dell M620 and M820s and would be preferable to base VMware image.

  1. It is the support for the installation of these blades?
  2. The description says « Ce ISO image should only be used to restore/reinstall VMware ESXi on image for SD Card/USB Key on the supported Dell platforms. »
     • I am confused by the specification 'only' restore/reinstall and not install.
     • Also confused by the mention of the only card SD and USB to the apparent exclusion of standard hard drives.

  I installed with it as a test and it looks good, but I'm uncomfortable with the description. I would be grateful for any additional information or insight to those who support ESXi in Dell stores.

  Hi vmproteau,

  Here are my answers to your question based on my experience. I have no experience with the M620 or M820 I manages around 240 M610, 60 R710, the R720 10, so I am familiar with Dells ESXi 5.1 servers update 1.

  (1) Yes, I would recommend using the ISO provided Dell printer if you are not familiar with creating your own package with the necessary drivers and firmware.

  (2) this ISO standard will include all drivers for supported Dell servers and some customizations of Dell and can be used for new installations regardless of the storage (SD, USB or HD Local) option. I would like to look out for is mainly to make sure that you update the firmware on all of your blades with the most recent available by Dell that ESXi is very picky with the pilot and also incompatible firmware Dell CMC with thanks to a few mistakes from time to time.

  Kind regards

• Install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820

  
  Greetings,

  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820 server.  I have problems with the reason of the installation because the NETWORK adapter is not supported by the operating system (5.1 ESXi).  I did a little research and discovered that there are custom versions of ESXi out there to install on vaious systems.  That would be the problem?  If so, does anyone know a particluar website that I might be able to get the correct version of ESXi 5.1 for this server dell PowerEdge R820.
  Here are the specs:
  Dell PowerEdge R820 - RAID 5
  Interface NETWORK Broadcom 1 GB card

  Xeon processors (w / 8 cores)

• Install ESXi 4 PE Dell 310 if an error occurs

  Hi gentlemen

  Try to install the last install ESXi on a Dell PE T310.

  I heard that he dislikes the H200 raid controller, so for now I'm just installing on a single drive running off the SATA controller.

  Get to select the drive to install to, and then receives the error displayed in the image as an attachment.

  Can anyone shed light on this point, as I google for hours without result!

  Thanks in advance

  Josh

  Did you do a checksum? It is important to do? Also do the checksum against the CD. Make sure they match. There is nothing to gain by saying that it should be OK. Test to make sure. You can also try to write the image CD and not DVD. Try to write it using another drive.

• ESXi 4 on Dell T410 Xeon E5504

  Hello:

  I ve installed VMWARE ESXi on a Dell T410 server. It has 1 quad core Intel Xeon Processor (e5504) but ESXi recognizes only the 2 hearts. I can only use two hearts in the virtual machine.

  

  I have a free license. Maybe a problem with the license? Could someone help me solve the problem?

  Thank you!

  I saw a setting in the BIOS to disable two of the kernel on a quad core processor, you can verify that?

  Hello

  How can I make a 'normal' version of ESXi edition of Dell management components? Can I burn a CD with iso ESXi Dell and update installation CD?

  Thank you

  Installation CD do a new installation or repair (repair would wipe your current config while retaining the VMFS partitions).  You would with your case

  (1) download the latest patch of ESXi from here - http://download3.vmware.com/software/vi/ESXe350-200904401-O-SG.zip

  (2) extract the ZIP file and you will find 3 ZIP file.  From one that ends by - I-BG-zip (it will be about 44 MB in size).

  (3) in this ZIP you will find VMware-OEM - image.tar.gz - extracted Dell.tgz.

  (4) copy that /bootbank/oem.tgz and restart your host.

• Dell M620 (VRTX) blade - ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 installation upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest)

  This morning I did an installation of upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest Version) on one of the blades of my VRTX M620 three 3.  I have the same problem that I met about a year, when I tried to update 1-2 update.  I had to go down to 1 update to see the data store.

  With update 3, the data store does not appear on this blade.  I did a scan to see if the data store is present, but he did not.  Also, I restarted the blade which did not help.

  I have to keep upgrading to 3 update due to the necessary correction of problem CBT.

  How to troubleshoot and resolve this problem of my data store does not?

  Note: I have very little experience with virtualization.  I just found today on how to access the interface from the CLI of blades.

  Thanks in advance.

  SOLVED.

  The original sas megaraid drivers (even installed on the blades of M620 Dell) had to be installed.  It is my understanding that several versions of the megaraid sas driver provided on the Dell ESXi ISO are meant to satisfy the VMware HCL for this material.  However, the more recent does not show the data store.

• ESXi install on dell optiplex 790

  Hi experts,

  
  

  1A tried to install Native Vmware Esxi 5.1 OS on Dell Optiplex 790, reported Installation Wizard not found supported network cards.

  2. I tried Esxi custom Dell installation 5.1 on the same area, then received the same error message.

  
  

  sounds like network drivers is not included in both of the Esxi Images, any idea on this issue.

  
  

  Error message 'no network adapters detected' when installing ESXi on Dell PowerEdge servers 12th generation - Dell Dell TechCenter - TechCenter community.

  
  

  
  

  Dell optiplex 790 got the intel pro 100/1000 cards.

  
  

  Even when I installed RHEL, it's the same thing, but fortunately RHEL does not stop in the Setup Wizard if the card is not supported. After the Installation of OS RHEL. I installed the e1000 driver. It works very well.

  
  

  VMware should have the same opportunity to install drivers after installing ESxi OS.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  If you do not have a suitable driver for the specific NETWORK card package, you can use Image Builder to create a custom ISO Setup / CD. Take a look at http://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer.html , which greatly simplifies this task.

• Install Esxi 4.1 Dell configuration manager does not find esxi

  When the dell Configurator requires the CD of Esxi, I put downloaded 4.1 Esxi installable cd and it does not recognize.

  Any idea?

  I guess the only thing that can fail is the installation of all the necessary modules.  This, however, can normally be solved after installation.

• ESXi on a Dell Optiplex 740

  Hello world

  I'm currently under vSphere ESX on a Dell Optiplex 740 in my lab at home and I'm very happy with the results, but I would like to be able to dual boot without adding a 2nd hard drive.  I think that vSphere ESXi would be ideal for this.  What I want to do is to load vSphere on a USB and then set the BIOS to use the USB as the first boot device.  I have Windows 7 equipped hard drive and this way I could start Windows 7, each time the USB key is deleted.  I understand that I will need to load the image of vSphere on the USB but I have no idea how to do that.  Are there images that would be suitable for this purpose?  Can I use any USB?

  Thank you.

  Install USB is supported directly from the ESXi installation disc. Insert the key and start the installation. If you have important data on the hard drive I have to temporarily disconnect the disk hard until you are installed.

  ESXi supports the Intel ICH7 controller, but it is for the use of the CD-ROM hosts only.   ESX (i) only supports SATA drives where controllers connected in double mode SAS on the official LIST, but both recognize and work with a certain number of SATA controllers.  You know the specific model of the controller which has your Dell?   If the ICH7, then you may have a work around to get ESXi to install.

• ESXi 4.1 - Dell Poweredge 2850 - tape backup - host does not support configuring passthrough

  I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM.  I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ".  Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed.  Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160).  See.  This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.

  So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list.  This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?

  To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o).   I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this.  It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.
