Help please, conversion devices for ESXi .ovf hard

We have just installed ESXi and it's my job to import all our VMServer devices to the ESXi.

I have read several forums/blogs different on the conversion of the .vmx .ovf using ovf tool, as well as I have read about VMware Converter as well but haven't tried this as yet, everyone knows success with this.

The ovf tool I can convert successfully to a .ovf file but when it came time to import on the ESXi Server I get the following error.

"The OVF package cananot be imported on the selected host.

The FVO contains an IDE hard drive, which is not supported: disk 1 "

Anyone have any suggestions for a solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance.

For the source to try it with the other and then access the VMX file and for the use of VMware Virtual Machine infrastructure destination and on the next screen, you will get the screen to connect to your ESXi host.

  • Help Setup RAID SATA for ESXi 4.1

    Hello

    It is the first time that you try to use vmware.  Any help is greatly appreciate!

    I just built a server around the Intel s5500hcvr mother. I have 6 SATA HDD I want to set up in a RAID. The integrated RAID controller seems to be very limited and does not seem to be supported by ESXi 4.1 (when I run ESXi 4.1 installation and it asks for a location for installation, all my discs are individually listed instead of virtual drives that I created with the RAID controller)

    My questions:

    (1) what is the suggested configuration of HDD (RAID levels / number of berries) for ESXi 4.1?  Can I create 1 RAID 10 array and set everything up to that?  or take one of my disks and install esxi 4.1 on it and then create a RAID with the rest of my discs and use it to store data?

    (2) anyone can provide links to some SATA RAID controllers that are known to work with ESXi 4.1 (and is the supposed to recognize virtual readers created by the RAID controller setup ESXi 4.1)

    Your motherboard has a RAID controller software which, as you have discovered, is completely not taken in charge by ESX/ESXi... You will need to get a RAID controller that is on the HCL for SAS and SATA hard drives (not one with battery backup write cache) so you can use any type of RAID configuration.

    My preference for Internal RAID configurations (on the host) are two drives mirrored for ESX/ESXi to reside (preferably being SAS 10 k or 15 k RPM, 73 GB or 146 GB in size) and then another table for the data store. You'll want to keep the data slot store table 2 TB-512 b size in order to present to ESX/ESXi as a LUN. Or you will need to get a RAID card this split of the support to the top of the table in the smaller of the virtual drives that can be presented for ESX/ESXi and LUNS.

    Search for controllers using the LSI MegaRAID chip as a good first lap. Some Adaptec cards should work, but I've seen people post questions on those recent (more recent than in the past). MANY manufacturers rebrand/efficiency the LSI MegaRAID Controllers server, such as the Dell PERC 6 series cards.

    For the use of 4 disks SATA, RAID 10 (on a BBWC, fully supported, controller) will give you the best performance. It will compare with SAS drives however. IF you do not plan on any virtual machine running with anything beyond light IOPS / s then you should be ok (or with very light loads)... If this is going to be a production server, then get the SAS drives all around.

  • Help, please!  Configuration of ESXi to get Cisco Surv. Multimedia for work software.

    Quick overview of what I do:

    I am running VMWare ESXi on a Dell Poweredge R710 server.  My virtual machine is Linux SuSE 10, Service Pack 1, the recommended Cisco media platform video software Surveuillance.  .  I try to get my Cisco software to run on the computer, but it requires an IP address from a remote location to access the software.  My IP address that I attributed to VMware is assigned, but when I use the same address and have the x.x.x.x/cisco.vsm.html there is a conflict with the original address assigned to the address that is using VMware to access the server itself.  I'm a newbie and it's all very confusing to me, so I apprecaite little help.

    Is this a problem IP routing or a problem of port assignment?  The Cisco software is supposed to load when I type http:/x.x.x.x/vsms.html in a browser window on the same network.

    Any suggestions?  I did research this for days trying to figure out how to get a simple program to work.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Try the URL localhost directly on SuSE http://127.0.0.1/vsmc.html machine if that gets refused then you have configuration problems in the software.

  • Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

    I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

    Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

    I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    TIA!

    Katie

    To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

    Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

  • Need ESXi owns hard drives for the installation?

    I downloaded ESXi for assessment and have problems with the installation.

    Try to load it on a Red Hat Ent. Linux v5 server that has a logical drive 1 TB.

    During the first steps of the installation, it is said that if I keep data on this singular logical drive will be lost.

    Does this mean I need to repartition my raid at 2 logical drives and reinstall RedHat with the ESXi before you start?

    Help, please

    Chris

    ESXi is a bare metal installation. It will not coexist with another OS. Once ESXi is installed, you can install Redhat like OS as a virtual machine.

  • Integration of BlackBerry Messenger SDK... Help, please!

    Hey,.

    I am trying to install the SDK of BBM on my PC.

    I followed the instructions on the start following guide: -.

    (1) first of all, I had to update my JDE and JRE of 1.6.14 to 1.6.26 versions so I uninstalled all older versions of Java and installed 1.6.26.The JRE do not settle in the folder by default (JRE 1.6.0_26) but in a folder called jre6

    (2) after I implemented the SDM as indicated in the instructions. I created the shortcut to MDS with the target as required.

    (3) after that I tried to run the MDS, but it did not work because the unlimited encryption settings are not configured. So I replaced the files in the folder "JRE6/lib/Security" with the jce policy files. After that, the MDS worked very well.

    (4) I had already installed the simulators (5.0 and 6.0) so I ran both sim1.bat and sim2.bat in the 5.0 folder. The simulators showed THAT BBM 6.0 has been installed. But after I tried the sim2 guest sim1 BBM and vice versa, it appears just as pending in the BBM and I don't get requests in the invited simulators.

    Can someone please help me solve this problem? I repeated this procedure a countless number of times, but I can't always connect the simulators to the other.

    Additional notes:

    (1) when I opened the simulators, I see some messages in the MDS. So I can assume MDS has been installed properly?

    (2) I cannot browse the internet using browsers on a simulator.

    (3) as when I go to manage connections service status BIS and BES services are indicated as not connected. This means that the installer is not done correctly?

    Help, please!

    For anyone interested, I have solved my problem.

  • Drive hard keeps fills, using CC Cleaner & Deffrag for a few weeks now. I do go down, & then it fills again! Help, please.

    I'm running Vista 64, SP2 and my hard drive keeps filling.

    I used CC Cleaner and Deffrag program for a few weeks now.

    (just the CC Cleaner on its own takes me awhile because I don't want to delete everything I shouldn't)

    I have moved away from home to the office and checked to see if there are "too many connections (?)" just in case it's something in the process.  Honestly, I can't say if there are too many?

    I know that I don't want to lose the ability to remote into my office... so I leave them alone.

    I wanted to delete some 'hidden' files $Recycle... but am concerned that my operation files original files are mixed in the files?

    Is there a way to return to the top... few of the restoration copies?

    AND... How can I stop this from happening?  I spent hours trying to manage it.

    It comes down, then it fills again!
