ESXi does not recognize the cd/dvd on HP DL380

I'm new to the hypervisor and really need some advice on a DL 380 I put up as a box QA. After installing ESXi 3.5, I created the virtual machine I need and proceeds to start a virtual machine, but was surprised to see that the server does not see the CD drive? I guess that would not as surprising, if it's a customized version white box, but a HP DL380, only one of the most common servers in the world?

Anyone has any advice or suggestions about what is a hotfix for this.

Thank you

Robert

In addition, once you can convert many of your applications and or OS installs in ISO format, you can just use your Infrastructure Manager client and connect an ISO to some VM you must have a 'CDROM' inserted in to.

For example, if you install Citrix and you have an ISO copy locally or on your network, you can simply start the virtual machine and then click 'connect/disconnect devices on CD' point to your ISO image. VMWare then moved the 'CD' for the virtual machine and it will be accessible as would a normal CDROM.

When you do that, your local CDROM in the ESX box really is not used for a lot more outside upgrades to ESX 3.5, and even what is done remotely today for ESX 4.

Hope this helps

    Hey all,.

    When I boot, the screen is in VGA 16 color mode, it recognizes the DVD player, but does not recognize the CD/DVD when inserted. I tried to install and run the utility "driver robot" Toshibas, but the display is such that I see all of the screen to start the search.

    Hello mike salinas.

    1. you have any third-party burning software installed on your computer?

    2. have you checked if the external CD drive works on another computer?

    I suggest that you check if your internal CD-ROM drive is detected in the BIOS.

    Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer, but before I get to the BIOS to start Windows. Check to see if there is the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS.

    You can see the article for more information about the BIOS:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    Regarding the external CD/DVD drive, I suggest you see if it works on another computer.

    Hello

    Have you also tried to burn DVD-R discs?
    I had also some problems with DVD + R discs, so I changed to a DVD-R and since all works well! :)

    I don't use Windows Media Player to burn discs, I use CD Burner XP. It is a freeware tool, very small and fast. It works on most versions of Windows, and you should try it too!

    Also check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware!

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

    Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

  • Sdatellite M100 does not recognize the CD/DVD drive in Windows XP

    It is listed in the Device Manager, but with a yellow explanation mark.
    No mention of this in my computer.
    No icon.

    I am able to open the drawer and I put several types of cd/DVD in them without any result.
    The light flashes in orange on the door. The drive is listed as "Mat * advd-ram uj - 841 s-(sm)" in the bios under boot devices.

    I'm trying to figure out how to remove the drive and reconnect but it seems that I have to disassemble the thing to do and hesitate without a diagram.

    It is only a user guide in the downloads on this site so any help is appreciated: 0)

    Oh, I also downloaded the driver from this site for the drie. Before that, I uninstalled the drive in Device Manager, but there was no change when I installed the downloaded driver.

    Simply using a Ubuntu Linux live cd and it is running.
    Unfortunately its going to be hard to know for sure what the problem in this way because I don't want to install ubuntu on this machine it is someone elses machine and they are far from would you like to try linux.

    I'm in a live session now.
    Ah ok when I go in the media folder there is no mention of the cd/dvd drive.

    It is really a problem unless I can unplug physically the Mo and reconnect: 0 (Oh wait here it... is under 'cdrom' folder ' but only files with a relevance to the side by side with windows installation are mentioned... exe files, wubi etc..)

    Ah ok that's beyond my experience.
    Can someone give this amateur a tip?

    First remove the player of ODD (CD/DVD) from the list in Device Manager.
    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
