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).

  • No installation option for CVI 2009 sdk

    When you try to generate a dll from a project that was created (and works very well) with CVI 8.0 using functions winSDK (winInet.lib)

    with CVI 2009

    I get "Redeclaration of FILETIME" errors. The winInet header and winInet.lib in the project are always the same found in the SDK for CVI 8.0. I couldn't find any Option to install some DVD SDK that installs CVI2009?

  • 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:

    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:

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

  • 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!

    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 installation process and storage CF

    Hi all

    It's been a while since I worked with the CF based storage so forgive me if this is a silly question!

    I remember at the time of ESX 3.5 when a host is created, it is strongly recommended that you unplug your HBA as the installer ESX 3.5 was inclined to wipe your FC LUNS during installation.

    Is this always the case? If I add a bright new ESX5.1 host in a cluster existing I have to disconnect from the connected FC SAN for the generation?

    Thank you

    Chris

    No, during the installation of ESXi, it scans all the storage controller and storage/LUN connected to the server. Setup ESXi offer screen user input to select the storage that you want to install ESXi and installation takes place on the selected disk.

    If you are using a scripted installation, make sure that mention you the right VMHBA device in the KS file and remove the firstdisk option. For even if the device driver of the CF charged first by ESXi, KS file controller resumes the VMHBA right for installation.
