How to install the software on host ESXi 4?

I would like to analyze using Nagios my ESXi 4 server through the remote console shell, but there are a few hiccups with the Linux environment in that esxi is available:

  • There is no installed gcc
  • No like yum or apt - get package manager
  • Can't find that associated with this version of RHEL RPMs

So I am puzzled because I find inappropriate for this version of RHEL RPM, and when I want to compile I can't because there is no gcc. Clues? It's with Nagios using ERS, but if I have to use SNMP I will go this route.

Linux build: (Linux version 2.6.18 - 128.ESX ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.2) #1 Fri Oct 15 16:11:16 PDT 2009 [generation of Console of Service ESX 201756)

Welcome to the community - first ESXi is not Linux - the VMkernel is developed by VMware - it is not recommended to install the software on your ESXi host unless it is specifically design for ESXi - so unless Nagios has developed an agent for ESXi you won't be able to install it.

  • How to install the NIC to host runnign ESXi

    I had a HP DL380 ESXi, the server has 2 onboard NETWORK card, a recently whent down. We require that the server has at least 2 NIC

    I have a new NIC of Dlink gigabit which has the compatible drivers for Linx, I don't know how to install the hardware so that the ESXi can recognize it and use it

    Anny help would be appreciated.

    I know not at all compatible with ESXi Dlink network cards.  ESXi is not Linux - simply because the Linux drivers are available does not mean that you can use in ESXi.  You will need to check the VMware hardware compatibility list to see what supported chipsets, and you will need to know the chipset of this card.

    You can also view some websites ESX Whitebox to see if others have reported this card as working with ESXi.

    I have a pavilion dm1-4118au that comes with windows 7starter kit. I upgraded the memory to 4 GB and installed windows 7 ultimate. How can I install the software pre-installed?

    (1) more simple to get this working is machine to recover from drive D by pressing f11 when the computer starts.

    (2) install OS using the media created by you (incase you have created the media before formatting the computer or OS currputs). Start with 1 disc, and follow the steps to install the operating system.

    If you have already formatted the computer and there is no D drive or drives more.

    (3) order support from HP HP recovery and install the OS using these disks. Here's the link.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c00810334

    Please be informed that recovery is going to re install the operating system, drivers, and applications. in this process, you lose all the data on your computer, please take care of the data before you start the recovery process.

  • How to install the additional drivers on ESXi 4.0 U1

    Hello...

    I had a problem of lil with my ESXi 4.0.0 build - 219382. I've implemented a new "Intel E1G44ET" NETWORK card

    This NIC shoud be supported. If I understand right, I need to install additional drivers on my ESXi server.

    I found a 'how to' on the Web page of vmware:

    1. turn on the host ESX or ESXi.

    2. place the CD in the CD-ROM drive of the host where the vSphere CLI is installed or vMA is hosted.

    3. Mount the driver CD.

    4 navigate to the & lt; CD mount point & gt; / off line-bundle / and look for the INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip file.

    5. run the vihostupdate command to install the drivers using the offline.

    vihostupdate & lt; conn_options & gt; -installation - bundle INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip

    My problem is, I don't know how to do step. 3. "mount the driver CD' shell.

    Is there a manual, you can link or tell me an easy way to put the network adapter 'online '?

    Thanks a lot 4 your help!

    Hello

    (just edit the post, the CD-ROM drive can be mounted/dev/cdrom and/dev/cdrom-had in my vma)

    Here's what I had to do to mount the iso and install the driver on my console Management Wizard vSphere:

    First of all, I attach the ISO using vSphere client on my vm VMA. then:

    sudo mkdir/media/cdrom

    sudo mount/dev/cdrom-had/media/cdrom

    vihostupdate - Server < ipaddress.or.fqdn > - install - /media/cdrom/offline-bundle/INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.9.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip bundle

    It will ask for the username password and install the update. Restart the ESXi.

    If your vMA only makes available the/dev/cdrom, you can deploy the FVO in a new virtual machine and try again.

  • Qosmio F20-136: how to install the software update for DVB TV device?

    Hi, I used the update all the drivers for my qosmio f20 136 11/07/06 and received various pilot updated on the list.
    The file called TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 at startup allows the pilot to TV TUNER directory listing and seems to be once I was the driver under System section and selected update driver and select this directory.

    My question is the another file called DVBTAHYB-QF20-XPMCE-1051340 when I click on the file that I just get a list of files, when I try the My TV driver update and choose this directory it won't find anything, does anyone know how to install that to update the file. The download list says they are two updates of tv pilot.

    Maybe Toshiba could include a text file explaining in detail how to install these files? Can anyone help please. And nobody knows which file to copy to save a permanent channel registration, so I could re install the file in the directory so lost the complete channel list?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Maybe I understood something wrong, but according to the prudence shown on the Toshiba download page, the TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 driver is designed for the range of models between F20-101 and F20 - 135.
    Are you sure that this disc is designed for your computer model laptop too?

    Have you tried to install the update of dvbtahyb-qf20-xpmce-1051340 when the original pilot of the TV (factory settings) is preinstalled?

    I had to reload a HP Pavilion dv6-6c14nr with Windows 7 Professional.   Also, I need to install Microsoft office.  I have the installation discs to install the programs and licenses.

    Question using an installation CD the same process as with Dell computers.   Dells you choose F12 and select the CD drive and start the installation on the CD.

    I already know that there is the partition of re - install that can be used to recover a broken BONE, but if this OS is not the one you want, then you must install the version of the OS from the CD you want, format the drive as part of the installation and continue on the it.

    Once again my question is simply the key F12 serves the same function on HP laptops.

    Thanks in advance

    Wlamore

    Hello

    No, F12 will not work on HP laptops. For Windows, please reboot your machine, it will display the key options you must hit to allow you to select where. Please select the DVD/CD player.

    You can install MS Office like any normal installtion process.

  • How to install the software on a virtual machine?

    Hi, I'm new to the virtual machines.  I have a physical server running windows 7 pro 32 bit, and I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit only.  I created so I can run MS Exchange Server 64.  I have a .iso for Exchange Server file, but I can't figure how to get it in the virtual machine.  Please explain or direct me to a good tutorial, thank you.

    In this case, either use the "shared folders" feature or share the folder on the host computer with files and map it as a network drive in the comments.

    Another option - although that do not know if it works in VMware Server - is to drag & drop the files from the host to the virtual computer.

  • How to install the software on a dvd

    I'm reading the dvd provided with my new printer and I don't know where it is read. The dvd appears just back after a few minutes.

    I had a similar problem with my hard drive.

    Check if all other discs work when you put them in your hard drive.

    If they are, your disk drive may not be possible to read the DVD provided with the printer (it cannot be done for Mac etc.)

    If the other drives do not work, your hard drive may be defective. Take your Mac to an Apple Store and ask them to study the problem for you.
