ESXi 5 cannot see storage after installation

I recently downloaded an eval of ESX, which included ESXi 5.0 60 days. I installed it on a test server, but there the LVM is not listed under data warehouses that shows only a data store that is the OS disk (LVM is on a separate RAID array).

I tried SSHing on the server but not from the usual commands for example lvdisplay, pvdisplay, etc. works, I can't manage it with vCentre because when I try to register I get: "VMware ESX and VMware ESXi servers are not compatible with vSphere Client Web 5.0.0."

How am I supposed to manage storage?

Download and install the vSphere client. Access the host through it. You can download the form available in webaccess hyperlink vSphere client.

https:// .

Once connected to the host, select storage in the Configuration tab.

Select Add storage.

storage RAID or LVM physical should be visible here.

  • After Update 2, Esxi 5.0 host cannot see storage

    I have a HP DL380 g-8 server that was running ESXi 5.0. He had 6 virtual machines running on it for 8 months with no problems. Today I applied the update 2 for ESXi 5.0 and it says the update successfully applied. After the reboot, the server could not detect any storage. When connecting with VSphere client it says "the ESXi host has no persistent storage." Virtual machines are listed as "unknown, 1 unknown unknown 2," etc.

    All storage is local. There are four disks are attached to a P420 controller card. When I click on "Storage adapters" in vsphere client, he mentions the card controller as "Patsburg 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller '. I tried a new analysis and it did not work.

    I think here, but I have an out of date firmware. I just found this page HP for the P420 with a VIB released a few weeks ago update:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 18964 & prodSeriesId = 5193414 & swItem = MTX-96dc068234d34bceba2e2e1139 & prodNameId = 5193409 & swEnvOID = 4115 & swLang = 8 & taskId = 135 & mode = 4 & idx = 1

    This link describes how to install the firmware, but this particular ESXi host is far away and I can't seem to him physically. I can connect using SSH. So my question is (having never used SCP or updated firmware on ESXi): is it possible to completely remotely via SSH, and if so, how?

    If there are any other suggestions, I'm open to them. No matter what to get storage online.

    Thank you!

    You should be able to run this command in an SSH session.  As long as SSH is enabled, you should be able to SCP the file above.  WinSCP is a client of SCP Inuit free, for Windows, that should work just fine.

  • Almost complete local storage after installation

    IM installation 4.1 on an IBM Blade in the blade for the test center. He already had ESXi 4.1 installed on it but it expired so Im just doing a reinstall on the old copy. I chose the format and install the new option. Now when I look at the storage in vCenter he says I have 15 GB free on 65. I made the same installation on another identical blade and it has 47 GB free on 65 and already has a virtual machine. Ive already tried the reinstall a second time with the same results

    The type of device, however, is different on each of them for some reason any.

  • ESXi 5 cannot see the logical matrix

    Hello

    I install a new UCS C220 M3BE for CUCMBE 8.6.2 (with UnityConnection). As much as I understand the documentation, I'm supposed to install ESXi first. I have an ESXi cd which was delivered with the box (version 5.0). In addition, in MMIC, I got an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i, and the box came with a pre-configured RAID 10 array of four discs (total 929 GB usable).

    So far, the problem is that I can't get ESXi installation to recognize the logical drive.

    I don't have any experience with the servers of the UCS. So far I know only a few things on ESXi and I had put it in place in a lab at home with CUCM.

    Should I cisco.com driver package? I'm downloading everything on time, however, I don't see an option when installing ESXi allowing me to specify all drivers...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    David

    Make sure you use the correct EGGS for the BE6000.  There is a 1000 EGGS to CUCM user and another user 1000 EGGS for CUC supported only on the C220 you have.

    You install an another VM by app.

  • Cannot access office after installation because of the strange activation error

    My girlfriend had a lot of problems with his computer. More recently, she has been plagued with viruses and spyware that even after he was supposed to be "retired", he was always there.

    So I decided to simply format the computer and start again. But like many people that she is not sure where is the original installation disc. Not much, I thought. I borrowed a copy from the retail Windows Home edition from a friend, and I am using the CD key that is located on the sticker on his turn (it is a Dell Dimension E521).
    The installation went very well, and the key was initially accepted without any problem. Once I have come to the point where it is supposed to load the desktop, I get the message "this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log in. You want to activate Windows now? ». I say Yes and tried to activate it via the internet, but it could not detect the network card (no driver installed).
    No problem, I called Microsoft (automated line), but when she asked for the installation ID, I realized where it was supposed to be, he had made a dash ' - '.
    After searching the Internet I came across this http://ask-leo.com/why_cant_i_activate_windows_xp.html. This guy has exactly the same problem, a problem that Microsoft could not solve for him. But he managed to solve it by starting in safe mode, install the network driver and restart normally and activate Windows. He was also using a Dell.
    So I followed these instructions, installed the drivers of network smoothly and restarted go back to windows. Unlike his example, it do not start back on the desktop. Instead, I received the same message that I had to activate windows first.
    I tried to activate over the internet, and I received a message saying that the activation was successful. When I clicked ok, I'm back to the same message. I decided this time to activate by phone. Low and behold, the installation ID was there this time, yay!
    I called the automated line and crossed the robot woman enter the installation ID, she said in the end it has been verified, and I clicked ok. I came back to the same message that Windows must be activated, but this time, when I tried to do, I get the message "Windows is already activated. Press OK to exit.
    As you can probably guess, I'm here because after clicking on ok, it affirms once more that windows must be enabled. So I am stuck in a loop. Can someone help me with this? Thank you.

    Try the following:

    1. reboot your computer in "Safe Mode".

    2. go to start > run and type: %systemroot%\system32 then press the Enter key.

    3. locate these two files: wpa.dbl and wpa.bak

    4. rename the wpa.dbl in wpa.bak to wpaold.bak and wpaold.dbl

    5 restart your computer in Normal Mode. This will force activation at the next startup. If these files get damaged, they can sometimes this type of problem.

    How to access the machine?

    Thank you.

    Hello mla!

    It seems you need to re-register the virtual machine. Two ways to do:

    (1) of VIClient, go to Configuration / Storage select your datastore righ - click on, choose Browse, navigate to your directory of the virtual machine, select the .vmx file and do a right click, then chooose "add to the inventory.

    (2) in the other direction its the COS. Log in and use the command: registry of vmware-cmd - s < full-path-to-the-VM-.vmx-file >

    Hope helps.

  • 5.1 ESXi does not see any number of logical unit after restarting both MD3220 and R820

    We restarted our host R820 ESXi 5.1 and table connected to SAS MD3220.  After the reboot, the HBA on ESXi shows no device.  We turned on the MD3220.  WAITED 5 minutes before feeding the R820.

    FYI... the complete Setup includes two R820 connected to two MD3220 through SAS.  The two R820 cannot see all devices on two HBAs after reboot.  We have redundant RAID controllers on the MD3220s and redundant HBA on the R820s.

    On the MD3220, the status of host interface ports appears.

    Anyone know this problem?

    We found the problem.  On the MD3220s, we noticed some "unidentified host identifiers.  For a reason unknown to us, the host port identifiers changed after turning power off and power on all R820s and MD3220s.  To resolve this problem, we replaced the identifiers.  It seems that someone swapped the SAS cables.  I don't think that someone made.

  • Cannot open the Adobe extensions even Manager after installation

    I downloaded and installed Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. As I was not able to find server behavior, bond and database options in the drop-down window, I tried to install Adobe Extension Manager CC in my Windows PC. After installation, I am not able to see them in Dreamweaver CS6. I was able to install the CC extensions Manager, but not able to open. Could someone help please?

    CC2015 no longer uses an Adobe Extension Manager of product. That you downloaded is not compatible with your version of DW, even if it is open, it wouldn't help.

    In CC2015, you must install the extensions via third party EM (not available through Adobe), use the creative cloud desktop application, or a command line installation process.

    DMX Zone has an EM you can enter: http://www.dmxzone.com/go/22670/dmxzone-extension-manager-for-dreamweaver/
