• ESXI 6, ISO HP or ISO VMware?

  Hello

  I'm under vCenter 6 with 3 esxi 5.5 guests on HP BL 460c Gen8 UP2.

  I' to want to migrate my hosts, iso which is the best?

  Is ESXi 6 stable enough now?

  Thanks for your help.

  ISO which is the best?

  HP has injected more none of management tools in the ISO ESXi vanilla. It will ensure that you will have more control than vanilla ESXi ISO.

  Is ESXi 6 stable enough now?

  IMO, N-1 is always the best. But, if you really want to enjoy the new features added in 6, forget its stability. Go ahead (6).

• ESXi Custom ISOs - am I missing something?

  Gents,

  Generally when creating an environment, I check just to see if the hardware is on the HCL. However, I noticed that Dell etc. have their own custom ISOs.

  I was wondering just--it is interesting to use these instead of the standard image directly from VMware?

  
  

  1. what you give images custom related to the standard - for example when you use HP host based blade?

  2. There are disadvantages to the use of images - for example what it means I have to wait for the vendor to include security updates? If I drive an update to guests with an image personalized with Update Manager it break build it?

  
  

  Also - I noticed that HP have a bundle in offline mode - if I have this applies only to a standard image that will bring in line with the custom image?

  
  

  See you soon
  

  What give you the custom images in the standard - for example when you use HP host based blade?

  Custom images are those images that are created by the hardware vendors in which they not only ESXi drivers but also other drivers updated who are provided by the seller. They also include a third CIM and other drivers updated (certified by VMware) in the image. This way customers who own the equipment by dell, HP etc. don't have to worry about the update of the pilots after they installed ESXi.

  If you do not use these custom images you can then run into problems such as devices not recognized by ESXi and other things. I do not see drawbacks. You can also create your own custom image by injecting the necessary drivers in ESXi image using many tools.

  So, it is advisable to use the custom harness. But yes, you will have to wait as the seller in the output image. It's a bad thing about it.

• Install ESXi 4.1 on RAID1

  I may be making it more difficult than necessary. ESXi can be installed on a RAID1?

  I tried, configured my RAID1, created the partition, but when I go to install ESXi, I show the hard drives and not the RAID1.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Thanks in advance,

  Allen

  you are using an unsupported software raid controller, so esx is not assists the sector remapping and is able to identify individual readers.

  I suggest try ESXi on a USB key and from there you can see if the RAID1 array will appear as a single volume, which you can use for vmfs.

  Don't forget 2 things if... size of RAID 1 may not exceed then 2 TB - 512 bytes or esx will not size properly (probably not a problem unless you have used 3 TB disks)

  Performance is going to be pretty bad, because there is no battery backup on the controller itself, so the write speed will suck under load.

• Cannot install VMware ESXi 4.0 on RAID1

  Hi all,

  I have a Dell optiplex 755 with 2 sata hard drives configured as RAID1 from the BIOS (hardware RAID). Ask VMware for a funny reason when installing, select a hard drive where to put all the files. The problem is that it asks me to choose from 2 hard drives instead of display a hard drive (RAID 1).

  I tried to select at least one of them as well as the installation continued normally, but when I reboot the PC machine don't specify "no operating system found".

  I also remove the RAID and tried the same setup. It worked smoothly until the end and of course even when I rebooted, it worked.

  Can someone give me advice I can do to allow hardware RAID VMware?

  Thank you

  Yes the RAID could be easy to set up - but not all RAID controllers are supported by VMware (so see you two discs instead of one, trying to install ESXi).

  The link I sent you before can be used to determine the hardware supported, etc.

• Dell Poweredge r.620 ESXi custom 5.5

  Hello

  As we intend to deploy the customized version of ESXi 5.5, I would like to know if it's the most recent:

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/in/en/19/driverdetails?DriverID=20VNP

  Thank you!

  If you compare the checksums indicating by Dell for these two files, you can see that they match. This means that they are the exact same download/file.

  The Dell custom ESXi A01 ISO 5.5 is the latest I know.

• ESXi 5.1 upgrade to ESXi 6.0 with 2 warehouses of data on the local host

  Hi, I'm a little new for vsphere stuff...

  I currently have a 5.1 ESXi host who I want to spend to 6.0. I did with another host with several virtual machines on which had a unique and just ran data store Installer, robbed the store of current data so it updated the system, but kept all my config and VMs in tact.

  However, with this other host, its data store has been expanded at some point, and rather than extend the data store, they have created an additional.

  So my question is now, if I run the Setup, what data store I point to and there are likely to be problems I might encounter?

  Thank you and I look forward to hearing from someone soon

  Hello

  a multiple data store or data store is no question during the upgrade or install ESXi.

  I guess, you start using ESXi Server ISO.

  Select storage (disk or USB/flash storage) where old ESXi is installed during the Installation (upgrade).

  This allows to detect the existing ESXi installation invites you to upgrade instead of doing the new ESXi installation.

  During the upgrade, select preserve existing and upgrade VMFS ' option to make sure that you keep the old virtual machines and old configuration ESXi.

  Thank you

• 6 of ESXi running on a laptop.

  I don't have a personal server to run ESXi 6, is it possible to run it on a desktop or laptop?

  Sorry in advance if I messed up anywhere in the post.

  I recommend the creation of nested using vmware workstation environment. It will be very easy to install.

  because you will use the hardware not supported to install OS ESXi, bare-metal deployment is possible, but can you trouble when it comes to finding the right drivers for NIC etc...

  Let's say your laptop got 8 or 16 GB of ram dual core processor. and is installed with windows 7 OS, now install VMware workstation 10 or 11.

  create a virtual machine with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of memory with 1 vNIC and 10 GB of disk space virtual, mount ESXi 6 iso with cd/dvd player in this VM and turn on. It will start and launch the installation of 6 ESXi from that iso.

• Install VMware ESXi - 5.1.0 - Update1 error workstation 10

  Hello

  I want your help guys

  I have laptop Dell i7 with 8 GB of ram

  I need to install VMware-ESXi server

  first I install vmware workstation 10 and then I start the iso file

  but this obvious error

  < validate_host_hw_error: vender vib for hp, but host vmware, Inc. >

  How do I solve the problem

  Looks like you are using a (HP) custom vSphere ESXi installation ISO. Replace with one (not customized) directly from VMWare.

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses

  We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.

  The following layout

  VMFarm001

  Dell PowerEdge R710

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 1.36 TB

  VMServer1 - MS Server 2003

  Install ESXi

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMFarm002

  HP ProLiant ML350 G5

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 95GB

  Install ESXi

  ISOs

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2

  I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.

  Thank you

  Yes, that's correct.

  I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

• !!!!!! Help! No network card detected during the instalation ESXI 5.5 in a laptop

  Hello

  I want to get a lab and install an ISO of ESXI 5.5 image from scratch in a laptop Lenovo T430 16 GB of RAM. Everything appears normally, BOOT from CD, copying files, early and late services, appears "not found network card remember that you at least have a network card to connect to the system", there is only the choice to have an ABORTION. Any help? The card is one Intel (R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection.

  What is strange to me if I installed a Windows 7 and after 10 VWworkstation, I can install a 5.5.without ESXI, even ISO problem

  ANYhelp is welcome!

  Welcome to the community,

  Please take a look at http://www.virten.net/2013/09/esxi-5-x-installation-on-intel-nuc-fails-with-no-network-adapters/ for more information on how to customize the installation image to recognize your network card. When you install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation, it is not the physical NETWORK adapter which is presented to the virtual machine, but a virtual NETWORK adapter for which ESXi uses built-in drivers.

• VSphere installation 5.5 ESXi on AMD Phenom ii x 4 955 proc problems.

  While I don't see the AMD Phenom ii in the HCL list. I read on some other KB articles that VMWare supports fully the procs Phenom line. Here is what I have and what is happening.

  I have an existing VM running in VMWare Fusion which becomes too greedy resource after 3 years and I want to move a machine, I found in my graveyard of machine.  The machine in question has 8 GB of ram, 2 GIGE NIC, a GFX card and the proc AMD Phenom I don't know much more on the cause of the machine I have not build it, a former employee did.  It is used to run the 64 bit version of Windows Server 2008.  I pulled the 2 older 1 TB drives if I ever need the data on them. I threw in a 160 GB seagate SATA drive and hung.  I have ESXi serious ISO 5.5 on a CD and it is loaded in my optical drive. When I boot I get a generic thing 'there is no OS loaded' and I can choose ESXi from the optical drive. When I click on that it loads a bunch of modules takes about 5 minutes or less. Can console me msgs that his will restart and build the kernel.  I get no further than that. I let stand the machine up to 15 minutes and I don't have a screen empty. As the GFX card that my monitor is connected is not integrated to the motherboard, I wonder if this is a problem? Should not that the BIOS uses it and when ESXi loads the modules before you build the kernel, I can see all the current action.

  Any info is much appreciated.

  IF I have no info Im going to try to install on an Intel Quad Core XEON5400 (series harpertown) Xserve I have laying around.

• Desktop install ESXi 5.5 on the

  Hello

  Pour a diploma project, I have to install two ESXi 5.5 with a virtual appliance of vCenter.

  Pour this I have two HP machines EliteDesk 800 G1 (i5-4570 and 8 GB of RAM), the storage will be centralized on a NAS. I know that the machines are not optimal but it's just pour the test.

  I would like to know if pour installation it version of the reloaded is still recommended if where ESXi of HP (with ProLiant drivers...) it is better to use the standard version of vmware?

  In a was already if people have my number, or has a point of view on this issue, I'd love to read them

  Thanks beaucoup for your.

• Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

  Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

  Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-takes-2-minutes-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-esxi-installation

  works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

  TinkerTry.com/download-vsphere-5-lab

  and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-lets-you-quickly-and-easily-reformat-an-esxi-usb-flash-drive-back-to-full-capacity

  Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

  Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

  Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

  Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

  Thoughts and opinions?

  Just a follow up on my comment about several injection of VIB in the ISO that you use as a file source for Rufus (a few months back, seen above):

• Suggerimenti per ESXi

  STO configurando by the prima volta Server ESXi (vSphere Hypervisor 5 U1), UN ho lavorato con VMware Workstation sempre e mi rendo conto che the cose non sono Così immediate.

  I would therefore dei suggerimenti e some re a delle guide da leggere.

  Mio server it ha 2 brain da 500 GB in RAID1 e 4 brain configurati da 1 TB che pero mi sono gia stati configurati come UN disco da 1, 8 GB (RAID5) ed da terzo UN 900 GB (RAID5).

  ESXi Ho da sul RAID1 pensavo di utilizzare e he VMFS by conservare delle VM offline.

  MI stavo pero wondering is mi conveniva clear I due brain da solo uno e of the RAID5 crearne / 3GB.

  Partizioni separate ho sempre the possibility feculence VM due con con livelli di sicurezza diversi o by scongiurare the perdita di una delle tabelle due; Pero leggo in rete che e solo una of best practices create a VMFS knew a disco unico e credo che questo sia it caso, anche is how sound system 4.

  Ho pi 6 NIC, sulla MB 2 e 4 knew una scheda.

  By backs up mi orientavo some tools by Pagnotta the VM back knew an external NAS e quindi pensavo di creare una VLAN associata ad una delle due knew MB, while the other 4 utilizzerei per creare delle VLAN da associare esterni to the switch substitutes any server.

  No ho e ESXi host by the uso al massimo gestione altri a couple of customer.

  Rather it mio problema più grosso e che a volte devo portarmi in the giro a few VM e quindi migrarle ROM known una Workstation 8 (just available passo della 10), my seems di understand che non mi basta spostarle.

  Grazie per I suggerimenti.

  Ciao,.

  avevo capito che I brain sono software, tranquillo, altrimenti I conteggi degli hard drive not there have. Chiamali g siamo tutti Così a posto

  preoccupazioni di corruzione, any componente di riguardo (sia esso disco of it, I have raid, the partition table o I dati ospitati) ti con selection I backup, not this sono altre soluzioni. Corruzione del dato una non correggi con even 20 brain di parita o thousand separate partizioni, if corrupt e basta. Vai IOC Backup.

  By WS-> ESXi, registri in WS there e ESXi server here you can send the vm crei localmente che con WS, tutto him fa in automático.

  Prestazioni del 'nested' ESXi, o vESXi, so hai ovviamente una perdita di performance respect all 'sommergibili sul fisico di quanto pero forward-looking only dall' hardware che possiedi (occhio che ti serve una cpu che personal collection VT - d nel caso di Intel, con anche as extension EFA), e dall'evitare di does troppi strategy e mentre fa run WS programs he ESXi server. E' comunque una soluzione pensata by flight tests, laboratori, o usi sporadici come appunto Exim di VM.
