ESXi5.5U2 - Patch03 on MacPro6, 1 - stuck on 'Initializaing ACPI.

So I was wondering if someone else is having problems with this since VMware released the fix to take charge of the MacPro6, 1 a few weeks ago. I managed to created a custom ISO with PowerCLI to add the patch (ESXi550-201410001) and when I run the Setup it says build 2143827 which corresponds to this patch, so I'm assuming that the ISO is good.


However, I'm running on an issue where when I start installation it freezes at "Initializing ACPI."... ». I started for MacOSX and there is no EFI or SMC update to apply.


Specifics:


VMware ESXi 5.5.0 - ESXi550-201410001


MacPro6, 1

8-core Intel Xeon ARE

64 GB OF RAM

Boot ROM: MP61.0116.B04

SMC Version: 2.20f18


Help or direction would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you

@Gortee

Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the ACPI on the Mac that I know. It is not a traditional menu of BIOS on Mac OSX EFI.

----

However, I managed to finally get ESXi5.5U2 - Patch03 installed and thought I'd share my conclusion in case someone else has the issue. In my case, I had MP61.0116.B04 as my Boot ROM, however there is no EFI updates available to bring it to version supported for ESXi of MP61.0116.B05. So I opened a folder with Apple Engineering and was informed that OS X Yosemite applies an EFI update that is not available other than upgrade to Yosemite. Then... I installed Yosemite who brought my Boot ROM up to MP61.0116.B07 and ESXi installed without any problems.

Key take-a-ways...

  1. Need to Boot ROM MP61.0116.B05 or higher
  2. Upgrade to Yosemite you will come to MP61.0116.B07 = ESXi install SUCCESSFUL!

  • Guest operating system compatibility

    Dear team,

    We have mix U1 ESX5.1 and ESXi5.5U2 environment. We are palnning to deploy Windows 2012 R2 on U1 ESXi5.1 host, I want just to cofirm will, I was able to migrate 2012 SMV of ESXi5.1U1 to ESXi5.5U2 I found that there are a few incompatibity with mixed version as shown below KB. I would also like to confirm that they said that this applies to 5.0.x and 5.1.x.

    KB 2033723.JPG

    need your urgent help on the same.

    concerning

    Mr. VMwrae

    Ko 2033723, the affected guest operating system is Windows Server 2012 (not R2) and hosts ESXi 5.0 Update 1 or ESXi 5.0 P03... then I think you should just avoid using this version of the build host, given that the VMware compatibility shows that Windows Server R2 2012 is compatible only with ESXi 5.0 Update 2 and later versions.

    On the other KBs, make sure to read workaround, and everything will be OK.

  • Install ESXi 5.1 stuck loading / imgpayld.dl on UCS-B250 M1

    Hi team,

    I try to install ESXI5.1 (ESXi-5.1.0-799733-customer-Cisco-2.1.0.3.iso) on UCS-B250 M1, but Setup keeps stuck loading imgpayld.tgz.

    UCSM is also upgraded to 2.1 (1 d) with auto-install fabric interconnection and upgrade server, so I am assuming I have the last fw running.

    Has anyone met with this kind of problem?  I tried to reset the controller, CIMC, among other things, but it doesn't make much difference.

    Any pointer will be highly appreciated.

    Best regards

    Giyoung.

    Check http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

    I think that ESXi 5.1 is not supported for B250-M1 and UCSM 2.1.1

    I do not pretend, that explains your problem; but open a TAC case could become a challenge.

    Good luck

  • Sierra of MacOS - iCloud Drive Documents & Desktop keeps Getting Stuck download

    Hello

    as stated in the header after activating the iCloud Drive to include Documents and desktop download stuck guard.

    Since almost 2 weeks I started the task mean to ask iCloud to include above mentioned files. Total quantity was about 100 GB download. I have 1 TB of storage for iCloud. iCloud is always download and always get stuck after about 10 to 30 minutes to download. Then I have to restart after that it starts to load only from getting stuck again.

    I was on the phone with Apple Care who had no idea of what might happen. They Said and I quote "we have no problem with iCloud download and your problem has not yet been recreated by others."

    I find it very hard to believe that I can repro this problem on 3 different systems.

    I have Cable speed of 400 Mbps downstream a 25mbit upstream. I have zero upstream of questions to dropbox or Spideroak at an astonishing speed. ICloud is the slowest I've ever known in my life but as I said after 14 days, it has yet to fill about 40 GB. This is ridiculous IMO.

    If anyone has any ideas on what is once again wrong with iCloud, I would of course tips

    Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to post!

    Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

  • Activate App stuck on waiting and power Mode low does ' t

    Hi all

    I have at least two concurrent problems with my iPhone 6 + iOS 10.0.2 (but started with iOS 9).

    I can't install new application directly from the App Store on the phone because they were stuck in the phase of "pending". Same behavior of update of the applications that are already installed.

    The only way to update/install the app's iTunes download and synchronize.

    The other simultaneous problem is in what regards the activation of "low power mode" with the rocker switch (settings > farm > Low Power). Whenever I try to activate (manual or automatic 20% of battery) function, the gray toggle becoming in the Middle, then return to the OFF position.

    I already have backupped & restored several times, but nothing has changed.

    How can I solve this?

    Thank your

    Best regards

    Hello Axoduss,

    Thanks for posting in the communities of Support from Apple. I see that you have two problems. One is that the low power Mode is not activated, and the other is that updates and new applications are blocked pending. I know that I rely on my iPhone for everything. It is important to ensure that it works as expected. I'll be more than happy to help.

    Great job to the backup of your phone and restore. It's a great way to help solve these issues.

    If you are restoring from a backup, the problem may be in the back upward. I recommend to reset the phone to factory settings and set up like new to see if the Mode low power and installing apps works. If this does not work after the installation in the new and not after the restoration then you want to restore your data manually and not market back. Here is an article on setting up the phone as new:

  • iPhone battery percentage 6 stuck

    Hello, I have an iphone 6 purchased from Apple about the release two years ago, never had any problems until this Friday, 10 March 16 when I noticed my battery percentage was is no longer draining after moderate use. He would stay at 100 percent every day and then turns off randomly. I have iOS 10.0.2, have tried to reset, power on/off, restore factory... nothing works! Is someone able to please shed some light on why this might be the case? Google tells me that there was a similar problem earlier this year when those who have no zone defined as auto has encountered a similar problem with the battery percentage being stuck and not up-to-date (i.e. no reflective battery drains with use). I went to settings and noticed that my time zone was not set as automatic. Does anyone else have this same problem and what is the reference for this?

    I'm surprised that factory reset did not fix this problem... help...

    Hello.

    First, plug in your iPhone, let the screen off and do nothing for a long period of time. Leave it plugged in all night while you sleep is perfect for that.

    Then, restart your iPhone by pressing and maintaining the sleep/wake and home buttons.

    You can also try following the suggestions of battery life. Go to settings > farm > find 'Suggestions of battery life.

    In addition, it is preferable to follow the Apple recommendations given in this article http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

  • IPhone crashed the Middle updated and now stuck on the setting of the screen!

    My Iphone has been unusually slow. So I tried to update my phone I thought it's maybe the old version of the IOS that makes my phone lag (I think I downloaded the latest version, 10. something). While trying to update my phone, it crashed at halfway. Now I'm stuck on the screen that appears when your phone has been updated (white background, that invites you to enter the password and put in place). However, after putting in my access code and attempts to connect to the wifi, my phone indicates that the wifi password is incorrect, this is not. Also, when I try to connect through mobile data it shows that "your phone could not be activated because the activation server is not reachable. Try to connect your iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try via the mobile connection in a few minutes... ». As a result, I tried connecting to ITunes and I got a different view of error message saying "ITunes only could not connect to this iphone." An unknown error occurred (0xE8000015).

  • Apps stuck on waiting after updating iOS 10

    Hey guys,.

    Since upgrading to iOS 10 a couple of my applications like facebook are stuck on waiting and I can't access it. I tried all the usual fixes like restarting the phone and enter the purchased section on the app store, but it won't let me even remove apps or stop the download. I have tried everything and can't get to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    Sometimes simply knock on the home screen application stops the download and then you are able to resume and it works. Otherwise... I'm afraid you will have to reinstall iOS.

  • Stuck zoomed in lock screen

    I am really stuck and frustrated!

    My iPhone 7 is stuck zoomed in on my lock screen! I tried the type twice three fingers and it does nothing. I tried holding down the power button to power it off the coast, but it does nothing. I tried to hold down the power button and the home button to reset but it either does nothing or it takes screenshots!

    I went to iTunes to reset, however I need to have my phone unlocked to be able to do something with it!

    It allows me to pull down my notifications and pull up my Center of the action, but it won't let me everything I click on open. I tried to call the unit and it sounds but still has the zoom in the image of my lock screen!

    I'm at a loss and really need help!

    Hello

    It can help to triple - click the Home button.

    Otherwise, if your iPhone does not respond to other inputs to control the Zoom and you are also unable to shut down normally, then you can force it to turn it back on by pressing the on/standby button and the Volume button and hold.
