"Host does not support configuring passthrough"--Dell PE 1950

I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on how I can be able to configure this server to support a passthrough configuration.

Basically, what I'm going to implement is a server to allow a single customer to use serial port physical on this server, there is no need for other customers would use the serial port so it can be dedicated to this customer, but currently my Dell Power Edge 1950, who has the last patched ESXi 4.0 running on it displays "host does support not configuring passthrough".

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

This KB article is for ESX (i) 3.5, but you can see that ESX supports the use of a physical serial port in a VM and ESXi don't.   If you wish to stay with ESXi and must support a serial port, you can consider a series to the IP for this device.

  • ESXi 4.1 - Dell Poweredge 2850 - tape backup - host does not support configuring passthrough

    I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM.  I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ".  Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed.  Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160).  See.  This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.

    So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list.  This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?

    To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o).   I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this.  It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.

  • Host does not support configuring passthrough (DirectPath i/o)

    Hello

    I just installed ESXi 5.0 on a Fujitsu CELSIUS W350. http://support.TS.Fujitsu.com/UKFAQ/ProfessionalPC/Celsius/W3xx/W350.htm

    CPU: Intel Core 2 E6300 http://ark.intel.com/products/27248/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E6300-(2M-Cache-1_86-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB)

    The CPU must be compatible with Intel Virtualization Technology (VT - x)

    As far as I can see that the "Intel Virtualization Technology" is also enabled in the BIOS, but I still just get the message "Host does not support configuring passthrough" under "Configuration-> advanced settings.

    I would like to have access to certain PCI cards in guest. Any ideas how to make this work? USB transfer works very well...

  • PowerEdge 1850: Need to add storage: ISCSI or SATA controller or? : Host does not support configuring passthrough

    I have a (non - VT capable) PowerEdge 1850 which took an ESXi 4.0 U1 (Dell Version) installation like a champ.  I know that I probably won't be able to have 64-bit clients.

    In this box of ESXi (laboratory

    Server) I have:

    • 2 x 73 GB SCSI U320 drives in RAID 0 array.

    • 6 GB OF RAM ECC

    • 2 x 1 GB NIC

    • 2 x PCI - X slots (PCI - X slot 133 MHz and PCI - X connector 100 / 66 MHz)

    I want to add more space "VM/Guest" and not spending too much money.

    What is my best solution?

    1. Find a compatible ESATA 3Gbps controller card (I have a nice 500 GB SATA Drive laying around)? ...

    2. Or should I get out an old box and throw a Gigabit NETWORK card and a SATA inside player and try my hand at Openfiler? I have yet to try it.

    3. ... Or... something else?

    Could someone help me hand choose either a PCI controller card - X ESATA/SATA (is - it possible or am I limited by my attached picture?) or a NETWORK card for my spare box (if it is not an old)?  I understand "_ _passthrough configuration"allows my virtual machine to hardware on the host computer directly, but I'm not clear how this effects my plans you want.

    I read:

    .. .but I am suspicious of money sinking into the material lest my PowerEdge does not support the Configuration PassThrough (does it matter?)  I still have to load a single guest.

    Thanks a lot for your time in advance!

    Get started with what you have. Do not pass anything. Set up the old PC you have as a NFS storage device. Use openfiler or? That will allow you to do some investigation/tests you want to do. Keep your eyes open for a local RAID controller or on an old server with lots of fast scsi storage you can add such as NFS or?

  • Host does not support configuring passthrough: vmdirect

    I have a client who is trying to set up passthrough, which we are unable to do so, it uses ESX4, on the DL 385 G6 servers. Virtualization AMD enabled in the bios, what are the next steps, the two hosts have a question, please suggest.

    It works perfectly in DL380 G6 (Intel Server), for runing this you must activate all Options of virtualization in the BIOS and you must ensure that your PCI card is supported for passtrought (as I remember HBA Qlogic works very well, but not emulex).

    I get the message: "this virtual computer is configured for.

    If I don't answer him then continues to try to start the virtual machine but cancel then with "the task was canceled by a user" even if I don't cancel anything. If Yes, well, after validation, and attempt to start the ISO XP it says "this processor is not compatible with x 64 mode. Please install a X 86 32-bit operating system. »

    That's what I get every time I turn on a virtual machine where I'm trying to start a 64-bit XP ISO file so that I can install XP 64 bit on it.

    I am running 4.1 on a 64-bit VM ESX (Redhat Linux 5 64-bit) of VMWare Workstation v7.  I tried Windows XP 64-bit and other flavors of

    Linux 64-bit but same problem with all of them.

    My physical pc consists of: CPU Q6600 (which supports VT).  The mobo is P5E - VM HDMI and VanderPool (VT) with XD bit set is enabled in the BIOS.  It is running

    to 3.60 GHz.

    So I can't install any 64 bit OS because it tells me that my pc ESX 4.1 VM does not support VT... I started in its virtual bios but there is no parameter VT it.  Yet, when I boot ESX with the preferred Mode of CPU Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR value I get a message bit on the right down saying: "this host does not support the EFA. For material aid to virtualization with MMU software. "So I don't know that he sees VT during startup of ESX, only virtual computers created in ESX do not seem to see it.

    I have already added the following in my vm ESX 4.1 .vmx file:

    guestOS = "vmkernel".

    monitor_control.vt32 = 'true '.

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'true '.

    I tried also to add the above in vmx file XP 64 bit VM as well.  Any ideas on how I can install a 64 bit OS in a virtualized 4.1 ESX? Or it is not possible?

  • Cannot migrate VM between 5.5 ESXi versions: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several CPU features

    We receive an error message that I am trying to make sense. I understand very well the notion of compatibility, CPU, CPUID, masking and so on, after working on a competitor hypervisor. However, this error seems wrong (or needs better wording) based on my understanding:

    Here is the message:

    ----

    A general error occurred: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several features of the CPU currently use by the virtual machine.

    Characteristics of CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register are indicated with a '1' bit: x00x:xxx0:xx0x:x 000: x 0 11xx:00: 00xx:11xx

    ----


    This happened during the migration between two hosts ESXi with the same physical processors - in this case, a Westmere X 5650.


    The source host is on ESXi build 2068190 (5.5). The destination host is on ESXi build 1474528.


    The bits it seems to complain are:


    DTES64

    Monitor/MWait

    Cx16

    PDCM

    The punch line seems to be: "the product version of the destination host. However, I have trouble believing that support for these features have been added to ESXi between the two versions. If it were, VMware has been certainly silent about.

    For what it's worth, explicitly set us the CPUID masks in our virtual machines (no, CVS is not an option for us at this time.) This is the mask:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000100000011001010001".

    CPUID.1.ECX = "00000010100110001110001000111111".

    CPUID.1.EDX = "10001111111010111111101111111111".

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000001.

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00101000000100000000100000000000".

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Note that the bits of the message complains (2, 3, 14, 15) * are * in fact forced to '1' in our mask of cpuid.1.ecx. That means (if I understand correctly), ESXi does not have the virtual machine unless the host processor supports the feature. And in our case, the virtual machine will start with happiness on nodes, with both versions. It will be not simply migrate between them.

    So, long story short, is this a bug of ESXi? The error message is misleading? I understand something?

    Thank you


    Matt

    To use the masks feature VM in this way, you must replace all the 1 to your masks with-'s:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000-000000 - 00-0 - 000-

    CPUID.1.ECX = "000000-0-00--000---000-000---".

    CPUID.1.EDX = '-000 - 0-0 - 0-

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "0000000000000000000000000000000 -"

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00-0-000000-00000000-00000000000.

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Zeros erases the features that are not available on your hosts Westmere, and dashes will leave the other one features.  The problem with those masks was forced to you certain features on who would have normally been off.

    Hi Surya,

    No, it's not any problem with the configuration of your path.

    It only means that this policy does not allow additional configuration.

    I.e. with fixed NMP, you would be able to configure a preferred path allowing you to manually distribute the i/o load.

    Your current configuration does not offer this option.

    Kind regards

  • Server does not support remote façade panels

    Hello.  Hope someone has an idea about that.  After the computer host and update cDAQ 9139 LabView SP1 from 2013 to 2014 LabView dev suite shipped by NOR, I get the error "server does not support the remote panels" when you try to view my remote panel.  Before the update it worked normally.

    I went through everything in the list in this document, http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C23EF1551D8C52ED86256B140073EE2E and can't find anything that will solve the problem.

    I have rebuilt the application in 2014 of LabView (I even tried a new simple project with a single loop, one of the temperatures and a remote control), rebuilt the build spec and get the same error.

    "I've re-edited the web page and checked in the html code it refers"CODEBASE ="ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/2014/LVRTE2014min.exe" and I have, according to MAX, LabView DURATION 14.0.1 installed on the host machine.

    If something has changed related LabView 2014 which would cause a new firewall as this remote façade program worked great with 2013 installed?  I've already added that LabVIEW 2014 and all other related apps through the firewall, including the web server.  I am also on a machine that doesn't have a Bluecoat, our company network/internet security suite is installed.

    Another possible solution to this problem - operator error.

    See one of my other posts here for details, but I made an assumption about the port numbers and what they apply to.  Two key points - the port of the web server application in the configuration of hardware web page is not the port used to access the remote panel - port is assigned in the properties of the device, the server settings remote control panel in the project.  And they cannot use the same port; This will also lead to the error "server does not support the remote panels.

    Note to the NOR - you must add this to your KB document on the resolution of this error.

    Thank you!

  • portable computer does not support. Yet battery monitor says "plugged in, not support.» What are some options?

    my laptop is connected, and yet power monitor says "plugged in, does not support." What are some solutions?

    Hi Joseph,.

    Something similar just happened to me. The first time they fixed it, they have replaced the adapter and the problem is solved. 5 months later it started to happen again and this time they replaced the battery, the motherboard and the milling table (thanks to heaven, it is still under warranty). Fortunately, thanks to the new adapters, battery started to load and the experience does not seem to damage it in any way (but you should keep your eyes on it anyway just in case).

    How they were able to say on my laptop - a Dell E1705 (other than just experience and common sense) was to go into the BIOS (starts, it should be a brief Flash on the screen telling you how to enter the BIOS setup or menu of the BIOS (usually F2) and check the battery information. He showed that the power adapter 'unidentified' instead "90W" list which should be when it is working properly and that the battery was not complete and not charging well plugged. They changed the motherboard and the roll the second time because it could also cause the adapter is not being recognized by the battery (or battery not not recognize the adapter).

    The beep is caused by power and its configured settings to warn you of a low and critical battery condition. In a normal situation, the computer will work right next to the power adapter and does not the battery (it is a way to help maintain the battery life is to run periodically and refill if we leave normally plugged in most of the time). If you remove the batttery entirely, the laptop will power? If this isn't the case, it is certainly at least the adapter or the motherboard. Eventually the battery will get if low, that he's going to sleep or hibernation, or the system stops (you should shut down normally before him to cold shutdown like that). If If, then I expect the tone to go further because it will detect is no longer a low battery charge, because there is no battery - but then you'll want to be sure to use either a battery backup UPS, or at least a surge protector otherwise already in place because if you lose the laptop battery will crash hard and this is not good for her.

    I'm using 32 bit Vista Business SP2 and in Control Panel / sounds / Sounds there is an option for low battery alert. The default to have this. In this case, you can turn off to avoid the beep. In addition, you can go into Control Panel / Power Options, click the plan settings and click on battery. It will provide you with levels of low battery and critical battery and you provide measures to be taken in such a case. If you are unable to operate the system without battery and it is so weak that the alerts began, you probably fell to 11-5% remaining. You can adjust actions to nothing for bass and stop to criticism that 5% is about as close as you want to get to the point where you can hang. Then, you just need to wait until it is repaired and the appropriate parts are replaced.

    Even if you have still some life in it, it is best to contact the manufacturer (they the some have the right parts) or a computer of reputable workshop to get a good diagnosis (perhaps by phone at first), a determination of what must be fixed, the applicable fees, schedule, if it is still under any kind of warranty , and what needs to be done in which order of repair. They can find the adapter is OK and it is just the battery (or vice-versa or two or more). But that's essentially where you need start.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
