How to install ESXi 4.1 on a Dell Precision 670

I have ESXi 4.1 of loading the CD successfully (I get around the problem of limit CPUID).

When it gets to the stage of the installation, it will fail with the message "could not find a device supported to write the image.

System Specs:

Reference Dell 670

Two-processor Xeon 3.2 ghz Irwindale 64 processors quadricoeurs

2 GB memory

A 72 GB SCSI HDD (currently formatted NTFS so is still a factor)

BIOS is A07

Any help would be appreciated.

As written in the previous post try to install on a USB key.

But VMs must leave a hard drive connected to a supported adapter.

If SCSI does not work, try again with IDE drives.

PS: 2 GB are a very small amount of memory to virtualize virtual machines...

  • How to install esxi 4.0 Update 1 on Dell PE 710 R

    How to install esxi 4.0 Update 1 on Dell PE 710 R? on esxi, we want to create virtual machines for windows 2008 r2.

    We can use Dell Open manage and it gives options to use esxi 4.0 or we need to start directly from esxi 4.0 Update 1 CD and run the installer.

    Please suggest the best way to configure esxi 4.0 on dell 710R server.

    If you are on the Dell hardware, you need at least generation 9 material, for example, a Dell PE 1850 or 2850 will not support a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit o/s. If you're on a material later, where the processor supports the technology of Intel Virtualization (VT), you can enable it in the BIOS of the host.

    Please note that R2 support is "experimental" - you will need to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 installed full support.

    Hope that helps

  • How to install ESXi 5.1 Server DELL with ESXi 5.5 installed on IDSDM?

    Hello

    We get a new DELL server that gets 5.5 ESXi installed on IDSDM.

    Given that we are still using ESXi 5.1, we want to set up this server to make it work also ESXi 5.1 update 3.

    There are 2 physical disks in SAS, which has been configured as RAID1.

    We would like to know when we install ESXi 5.1, ought to move the disk RAID1 or IDSDM cards?

    If IDSDM cards are preferred, is used for the local HD in RAID?

    If we should install on local RAID HD, can we use IDSDM as SSD for ESXi host cards?

    Thank you

    In addition, if we install in the HD, can we use the SD card to ESXi host? : - You can install in HD and SD card is used to keep the backup in case of failure of HD of ESXi image. To do this, you must put the image cache in the SD card.

    If you install in the SD card, then you must configure the scratches in HD because of the constraint of space with CD card.

    Dr. Philippe

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  • Failure installing ESXi 5.1.0 on Dell PowerEdge R210 II

    Hi all

    I tried to find my answer in the existing forums and found a similar mistake (Forum #423438), but he had put end to saying that particular server is not supported. I bought the different server, the PE210 II, and he showed up on the list of support for VMWare. If you need of advice please.

    It is a new server out of the box, bought without Windows/Linux installed. Get the installation to the point below where it was looking to select a drive... and he just stood there. When I hit F1 for more details, I got the text at the top left of the screenshot. "An unexpected error has occurred. Error code: YMxvZy5we... "Look at the logs for more details. AttributeError: 'Text' object has no attribute 'device'

    No idea how to go beyond this? Really, we want to start using VMware and bought equipment to devote to it. Now I can't make it work.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Unfortunately "S" PERC controllers don't are not supported with ESXi, it may not even be detected during installation at all (see KB VMware: cannot install ESX/ESXi with Dell S class PERC)

  • How to activate the NumLock at startup for Dell Precision 7510

    Hello

    I just got a new 7510 precision and can not find a way to activate numlock automatically at startup.

    I checked the BIOS and that is already activated.

    I would like that because I'm running WIndows 10 and it is set to connect with a digital PIN.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thank you

    Jim

    Hi, my company has just bought some of these 7510 s. I had the same problem. This is how I corrected.

    Go 2 places in the registry fix.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/CONTROL PANEL / KEYBOARD and IntitialKeyboardIndicators set of 2

    Next and don't forget to do the one below (this is my problem, only did a whole first)

    IntitialKeyboardIndicators HKEY_USERSDEFAULT/CONFIGURATION/KEYBOARD Panel and set of 2

    Hope this helps :)

  • OK, I NEED someone TO HELP me INSTALL LESS ESXi 5.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server! And of course, HE IS No. TUTORIAL on this SITE FOR ME HELP!

    As I said earlier:

    OK, I am trying to install vSpere on my Dell PowerEdge 1950.

    Hardware specifications:

    4 GB FB-DIMM DDR2 memory

    x 2 processor Intel Xeon, 2 carrots, 3.00 GHz

    There a RAID BIOS, so I had to create a Raid 0 virtual disk to install anything.

    Drive hard WD 1 TB, it's the one I use for the VD.

    When I choose which hard drive I use, I select the VD, I created, I select my keyboard language, then the configuration scan my material, then he asks me if if want to install, I pressed F11. Then, when it reached 5%, it throws an error: "partedUtil failed with the message: error: can not have a partition outside the disk!

    He says that it cannot install it on a virtual drive? My server is not compatible?

    Edit: There is another error that says: cannot read the partition table for device:

    /VMFS/devices/disks/NAA.60019b90bd8289001e62575a584731e0

    What is going on!!! Why vmware cannot have tutorials on "How to install Esxi on a server with RAID BIOS"?

    Check if the virtual HARD disk you packed is initialized. It seems that the installation is not written on this HARD drive. Back to the HARD Disk Manager (you probably PERC5 / I) to start the process I think is CTRL + R? find your virtual drive and launch. Take a look at the image as an attachment.
