• 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.

• 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:

  • http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/esx40_whitebox_HCL.php#storage

  • http://ultimatewhitebox.com/iocontroller

  • http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  .. .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"--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.

• 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).

  Kind regards.

• This host does not support VT *.

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

  64-bit operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not

  possible.  This host does not support VT continue with 64-bit support"?

  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?

  yorkman.

  you run nested ESX. In ESX ESX. You can install 32-bit operating systems in this type of environment. VMware has no VT support for nested VMS

• 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.

  Thank you

  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!

• ESXi4.1 - the host is not supported VT - i7 720Q

  Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my question.

  This is a test environment, proof of concept, etc. We have an i7 720Q which is a hyperthreading processor. ESXi is installed in VMWare Workstation. ESXi processor is defined on Intel VT - x. I can't create 64-bit with vsphere hosts. I get the message "this virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible. This host does not VT support"I can run the 64-bit very well within VMWare Workstation operating system, just not in ESXi in workstation.

  Ideas?

  Thank you

  Chase

  VT is a hardware device that is not passed through a virtual machine. Therefore, it is not possible to run the OS 64 - bit guest nested within your VM ESXi.
