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.

  • iDRAC 6 does no see the disk health (OS ESXi 5.1)

    iDRAC 7 displays a nice with health information, but iDRAC storage TAB 6 only the disc inventory. Should not be a storage TAB 6 also so I can see the health of disk?

    Bar2D2,

    The reasoning for this is that the iDrac6 Initializes before the raid controller, so that no information is yet available for her.

    The iDrac7 is now incorporated in the life cycle of the controller/USC so it is initialized at the same time.

    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.

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Review the information from the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=software&s=Grand%20theft%20auto

    He says that version 2 is not compatible.

    If Aero is the problem, disable it before installing the game and then turn back on.
    I would say as you right-click on Setup and select "Run as Administrator".

    I hope this helps.

Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Try to format and do a clean install of Windows Vista on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. The installation does not start.

    Try to format and do a clean install of Vitsa on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. DVD starts up fine and then goes into an endless loop of the repair system that continues to check the c: / drive to find errors. Why is the installation does not start? I know that the folder c: / drive has Vista OS on it from my old compuetr. I want to wipe off immediately and start cleaning up.

    original title: try to install clean vista

    You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

    You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

    For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/68767-clean-install-upgrade-Vista.html

    If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

  • 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.
