ESXi installer does not see my raid.

I installed a raid 5 (3 * 500GB SATA drives) but when I run the ESXi Setup program, it shows me the individual readers (it's a raid, I see only one). Once I let it install on one of these readers, I can't start in it since my mobo sees the raid and trying to start it.

So I find myself with a startup error.

My mobo is SuperMicro X8DTU, ICH10R SATA.

I have an Adaptec and usign Intel raid bios option, I can't get Raid 5 with Intel, so I've been usign who.

What are my options here?

Welcome to the forums!

You run the fakeraid question.  Hardware raid before the start of the operating system, how it is transmitted to the operating system for software raid.  Think of it more as software raid assisted equipment.  ESX would need to have the drivers installed to use it properly.  That's why the ESX installation program see several disks.

Your only options are not to use RAID functions or buy a hardware RAID card true.

A third option would be to find a raid card that makes drivers for ESX.  ESX 4 allows drivers to be installed to accommodate it.  I don't know any hand well.

  • installation does not see the printer when I plug

    I have a printer HP LaserJet, 1006 running on a Windows XP 32 - bit attached to a USB1 port system. I have no USB2 ports. The printer works fine, but the drivers are up to date. I downloaded the file (hp_LJ_P1005_P1505_Full_Solution_ROW.exe) and when I run it, and it gets to the point where it tells me to connect my printer, I plug in and turn on and nothing happens. Apparently the installer does not see when I turn on my printer. The problem would be that it is plugged into the port of USB1 and if so what do about it?

    Sorry must have misread your first message.  Before trying to reinstall the software, make sure that the printer and the old software is uninstalled.  The installer can be easily confused by older facilities, in order to ensure that those who are cleaned before installing the latest orders.  Hope that helps.

  • 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 on HP BL460C to EVA SAN, Installer does not see the disk non - ESX(I) Although not

    We have a BL460C with qlogic (QMH2462), talk to an EVA 4400 SAN with LUNS = 1 presented for a boot disk and LUN = 2 for the data store.

    San switch is Silkier, if all the paths are visible.  We have installed ESX 3.5.0 u3 on this blade to the same LUN.  The goal is to support an environment entirely multichannel without interaction of zoning, so far all porous bones have been configured to work fine until we tried ESXi

    When we try to install ESXi 3.5.0 u3 for the same logical unit number, the installer décompacte, starts, appears to find the discs and stops with an error "device cannot find support to write... on the image for.

    Is there a driver/known compatibility issue with the ESXi installation program that prevents installation in a multi-channel environment?

    I don't think that ESXi supports booting from SAN.  This is perhaps where the fuse box is.

    You must use the local storage, or possibly a 1 GB (or more) USB stick to boot from.

  • ESX4i does not see the RAID controller card

    I install the ESX4 and the ESXi4. Considering that ESX sess card RAID controller, ESXi4 will not work. I was wondering if there was a solution to this?

    Memory I don't remember ESXi4 support adding additional drivers (unlike ESX4 Installer) but I was wondering if I climbed to U1 ESX4i, that would help. Or is just "not supported"?

    My problem has been resolved by the way of the ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.0 Update 1... which includes a driver update...

    I managed to ESXi in order to run from a USB key on the servers, but found the previous day, and DPM mode did not work properley. While he was going to suspend the ESX box very well, the machine just and seems to lose its settings to boot PXE boot - regardless of what I did with the BIOS...

    I found ESX4i U1 to install on the physical disk is more reliable...

  • Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the Satellite A200

    Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the A200.
    How to install it?

  • Satellite Pro M70 does not see HARD drive sometimes

    My computer does not see my hard drive but see Installer and another computer.
    My hard drive is working and I put the new drive hard but computer does not see.
    And when I install XP on the computer I can see HDD format during the installation.
    And when prawns my computer I do not see the HARD disk again.

    Help me please

    Hello

    I think that it s a HDD issue naturally it s really strange that the HARD drive is different sometimes and sometimes it s is not visible, but I doubt that it could be software related issue. That's why I think that it s a drive HARD and in my opinion, you should check if other HDD SATA runs correctly.

    Good bye

  • ENVY 4520: Computer does not see section scanner WANT

    Last weekend, I bought a 4520 want TO replace a malfunctioning Lexmark all in one. I quickly learned that the software for this printer avaulable was not available for Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion). However, I followed the instructions on the Apple and this site and downloaded the appropriate drivers for the 4500 series. I am able to print wireless from my Mac, but when I attempy yo scan, the 4520 does not appear. In fact, printing and control panel Scan sees not the 4520 otherwise than as a printer no scan option available. Utility HP 'sees' the fevice but offers no adjustment of parameters. The application of scanning HP, does not see it no more.

    While printing is the main reason I bought this unit, the scan function is also valuable and I would like to be able to use it. Of course the current HP software does not support my Mac and OS (Lion) - are there any ear; first versions of installation scanning software partitions. If not, do you have suggestions for () maybe) generic software that will allow me to use the scanner?

    -colin

    Hi Colin,

    Sorry for the frustration you must be feeling.  I did some checking and confirmed that HP only provides drivers scan of your product on OS X 10.8 and later versions.  This product also supports the Apple AirPrint (scan) functionality, which allows you to scan without HP software, but still this support is only available on OS X 10.10 and later versions.

    I am not familiar with the features of 3rd party scan applications.  My only suggestion would be to consider upgrading the version of the OS on your Mac (if possible) because this opens up your options considerably.

    Have a lenovo t60 disk opportunity was wiped out when trying to install XP Pro, I get message windows does not see the hard drive, but he sees the laptop.

    If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

    Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

    Or get the SATA drivers. Check out them on diskette, press F6 during installation and then add them.
