• Cisco C220 M3 - ESXi installation - is ESXi free?

  Hi guys,.

  I want to install ESXi Server C220 M3. I think that ESXi is free but I'm not sure. Do need me a permit for the Cisco custom ESXi image?

  I also have another server C220 M3 distinct from each other. For this one, I have a license vSphere Enterprise license. Do I need another license of ESXi here?

  Thank you.

  At the end of 60 days, to change the 'license' to the ESXi installation to get a perpetual license (with much reduced features) key of VMware.

  Basis of VMware and virtuallisation managed with the vi client is included in the free license, but no vCenter and all the goodies that come with it.

• Move the existing 5.5 ESXi installation of the HARD disk on USB.

  I need help on what would be the best approach to move my existing ESXi 5.5 install the HARD disk to the new USB.

  Then you tell your environment uses the local disk to your VM data store (s)? In addition, you want to move your partition ESXi to USB and recover the local disk space? I think if it was me, the the more safe thing to do would be to shut down the system, pull on the local drive on just enough to disable / he dethrone, insert the USB key and run ESXi installation. Then (after checking the boot order) reinstall the local disk and boot the system. Once the USB key version boots, make your configurations (DNS, NTP, license etc.) and add the data store (s) existing local drive. You can then add existing virtual machines via "navigation" of the data store (s).

• 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):

• ESXi & Installer hangs when starting

  Hello

  I looked around and looked for my problem-related entries in the forum, but I couldn't find anything...

  Here is my problem:

  * New server Fujitsu TX200 S7:

  2 x Xeon CPU / 64GByte = 16GByte RAM 4 x / 4 x SAS HDD 600GByte / RAID LSI Ctr RAID0/1/5/6/10/50/60 mit FBU - Erw. + Modul TFM / DVD - RW / embeddet USB Device of the UFM

  I experienced enormous problems to start with the installer of vmware esxi 5.1 (or 5.0) CD ROM or esxi host 5.1.

  What works with the above server:

  * Install it is an os windows 2012 std server on the raid system is executed without absolutely no problems

  Start the success of server std 2012 win every time.

  * Setup a esxi host 5.1 on the server, but only subsequently install Fujitsu «server see DVD»

  What does NOT work with the above server: (every time, never had a successful boot)

  Booting with the esxi 5.0 installation CD original fujitsu - fails!

  * Start with one (from vmware) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  * Start with one (from fujitsu) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  Start a successuflly by the Fujitsu 'Start Server CD' installed esxi host 5.1 on this server - fails!

  * Test: start without lsi sas controller (without any disk hard sas) - the server starts faster (without the lsi raid controller firmware)-, but fails.

  * Test: starting with half of the installed RAM - fails!

  The symptoms of what happens during startup and cannot:

  * First step of booting (bundle of progress on the top of the screen) will run successfully

  * During the first seconds of the second stage (starting ESXi Kernel, beam of progress is displayed on the bottom of the screen), the computer did a hard-reset and the startup process begins once more.

  So I don't know what I could do.

  Because all windows system works perfectly, I would exclude a hardware error

  On the other side, Fujitsu specifies this server with this equipment compatible with esxi, then I do not understand that no esxi (Installer) will be initialize to top.

  So, what could be the reason why the software does not start?

  How can I know the reason why the systems do not initialize-go to top?

  Thank you very much for any suspicion solve my problem!

  What about Tom

  the firmware all is patched up?

• ESXi Installable vs ESXi Embedded

  Can someone please explain the differences between ESXi Installable, ESXi Embedded vs?

  See you soon.

  The installation program will install the CD to the hard drive or USB / SD card.

• ESXi installation options

  Is better to install ESXi on a local storage (for example 2 HD configured in RAID1) or on an SD card/USB key?

  Max

  It is up to you...

  There are pro and cons on two solutions.

  IMHO, I prefer the option without disc. And could be very interesting and probably also the best solution when a server will be delivered with a double SD card (mirrored).

• I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not

  I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not occur.

  Please help on this issue.

  Since there is no integration PAM for ESXi, you cannot authenticate to ESXi itself using active directory.  -What are you talking about?  You can always have virtual machine with windows and active directory.

• ESXi Installer 6.0u1a & 6.0u1b not recognizing not not on MacPro 6.1 USB keyboard

  I just got 2 new MacPro 6.1, delivered 2 days ago and was aware of the possible SSD being not recognized error but am willing to deal with that. My problem is that once the boots MacPro Setup ESXi charge from a USB memory key and gets all the way to the press ENTER to continue the installation of the keyboard (or any USB device?) seem not to be recognized. I tried with a different Installer .iso 6.0u1a & 6.0u1b, they both exhibit the same behavior. BIOS versions on these seem a little bit newer than what I saw in the nets SSD, so I don't know if another thing Apple that the SSD has changed lately. The version of the BIOS MP61.0116.B16. It does not recognize the keyboard and start the Installer off USB first. I just can't continue the installation. I tried several keyboards as well. Apple, Dell, HP basic keyboards. If I start with it or plug it in once I get started, I didn't even not a NumLock led light. Any suggestions?

  Hi ejerue,

  Please use the keyboard USB extender that comes with the Apple keyboard (even if you don't need the extra distance it provides).  It is the typical solution.

• 5.5u2 on X99s Mpower ESXi installation problem

  Hello world

  I have problems installing ESXi 5.5 u2 on a card mother MSI MPower X99S.

  Questions:

  No not initially on "out of resources" when loading tools.t00 (think it was solved by loading from a USB drive (UNetbootin used to create) instead of a CD.) Also updated sata-xahci - 1.10 - 1.x86_64.vib)

  Now the system crashes just after loading imgpayld.tgz with error "cannot resolve the circular movement".

  The system is as follows:

  Card mother MSI X99S MPower

  I7-5960 x extreme CPU

  64GB DDR4 RAM 2133

  10 * 6TB red WD

  permit aboard RAID5 with 6 of the HARD drive.

  She's.

  So, I tried the following:

  Re-download all the ISO images

  Install Esxi 5.0 (GROUP just after 'Initializing memory')-VMWARE ESXi - 5.0.0 - Rollup - 20111216.iso

  

  Installation of VMware Esxi 5.1 (GROUP just after "Initializing memory" as described ci-dessus)-VMvisor-installateur-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso)

  Looking for esxi implemented x 99 chipset and Intel ICh10r driver but found

  Any help is much appreciated and needed!

  Hello world

  I managed to solve it in a roundabout way.

  I gave the card combination mother/cpu/ram and swapped the Council, ram and cpu out to a different core I7 with 32 GB memory ddr3 Ram.

  Installing ESXI on this other configuration (motherboard is GA - X 79 - UD3) I discovered that ESXI captures not software raid created by the bios of the motherboard and I bought an Intel RS2WG160 raid controller and battery, updated the BIOS RAID intel, set up the raid that I needed and installed ESXI without any problem (VIB files after uploading the last VIB for the http://www.v-front.de/2013/11/how-to-make-your-unsupported-sata-ahci.html sata and the technical support site offers Intel)

  Once I had installed ESXi, I decided to try to swap the GA - X 79 - UD3 mobo, ram and cpu out with my configuration of origin either the MPower X99s, DDR4 RAM (and I7 CPU 5960 X)

  , but without having to re - install ESXI.

  It worked perfectly for me at this time there

  Bottom line - install the ESXI using another mobo, cpu and ram, then those Exchange and restart.

  Hope that helps others

• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• UPS for ESXi installation tips House + NAS installation

  wanting advice on UPS system for home installation of VMware. our neighborhood is to have summer blackouts for hours these days.

  I have an an ESXi 5.1u2 Server ESXi on a usb key with a SSD for the cache.

  want the ups to shut down the VM with elegance on the NAS, then stop the ESXi server gracefully.

  I can plug a UPS into the NAS via USB and have the SIN 'shutdown' but I know not if that normally stops the virtual machine first then ESXi server?

  I have not idea what to use for the ESXi server. It can be as simple as connect a USB to a UPS in the ESXi server and configure something in vSphere but I "just guessing
