HS23, ESXi 6.0 install, Lenovo custom image?


We ended up using the customized image of Lenovo to upgrade our blades HS23 and our M4 3550 even if the upgrade guide said that it was not supported. We did an installation not and update on the computers hosts and everything seems to work very well.

  • Patching ESXi 4.1 installed with custom image

    Hello

    Our company has several ESXi 4.x - hosts installed with HP or DELL-customized images.

    If I install the patches with VUM without doing something more, simply by using the patches automatically downloaded VMware, they then somehow will overwrite the DELL/HP-installation custom ESXi? (Leaving me with a fully functioning but the host not custom).

    Or are the standard VMware patches without affecting the part 'tailor-made' installation?

    Concerning

    Matthias

    The patches that you apply do not overwrite OEM customizations.

    http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/ESXi_management.pdf :

    The basic hypervisor code can also contain custom code provided by suppliers of servers (OEM) that provides additional features, such as monitoring and hardware support information. These customizations would be present, for example, if had ESXi embedded format of the manufacturer of the server or a customized version of ESXi has been installed on

    the hard drive. Any update to an existing installation of ESXi integrates automatically the correct update of this custom code.

  • R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

    That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

    www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    www.Dell.com/.../manuals

    indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

    I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

    ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
    Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

    megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

    Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

    This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

  • Cisco Custom Image patch

    Hello

    I installed a custom Image Cisco ESXi 5.5 in a UCS C220 M3 and I would like to know if I can install patches using Update Manager as I do with a default image. I don't know if I'm having problems because some patches to update the drivers of ESXi and could, for example, replace the Cisco enic and the fnic.

    I know that HP and Dell have their deposits that I can use with the Update Manager, but can not find something like that for cisco.

    Thank you

    Hi theire,.

    so in recent years, I stayed away from custom provider Isos. Reason is that Vmware is not happy with the custom ones when facing problems. They are pointing to another seller trying to manage Ticket support.

    As for that so I just used for years a clean default Vmware Image as well as all the necessary drivers I inject later. Manually or via the Update Manager.

    Had more problems with Isos by default then with fully customized supplier ones.

    But back to the Question.  If you want to update the driver for Cisco, then you could download those most recent supported because you're model and add in you're Manager Update.

    Best regards

  • Reference Dell Custom Image for Vmware ESXi 5.1

    Hello

    where can I find the custom image Dell for ESXi 5.1.

    I can only find the ISO Images for 5.0 (4.1). But none for 5.1. Unfortunately the original ISO Vmware image will not work because it does not find a NETWORK card in my Dell R420. Which seems to occur as long as the original image from Vmware does not include the card driver NETWORK Dell to the R420.

    I saw that today there is a download section at support.Dell.com for ESXi 5.1 with about 36 files to download. But no ISO Image for ESXi 5.1 as it is 5.0 and before.

    Hope someone can help or knows how Dell will bring the custom image.

    Thank you!

    Here is the link to the ISO image of the ESXi 5.1 custom newly released Dell. Sorry for the delay to everyone - out www.dell.com/.../poweredge-r620

  • Will not pump light customer image D90D7 using WDM 5.0

    I'm trying to shoot a picture of one of my thin clients in D90D7 that I updated the image of the most recent (Windows Embedded standard 7), the most recent version of HAgent (6.3.2.54) and installed a few applications that will use all users.  I'm in WDM 5.0, do a right click on the device in Device Manager, select Get Image device, give a name to the image, check the box under Image Merlin Options to shoot and the option button not PXE under Option imagery (neither that neither PXE worked, I tried both), click Next, then finish.  I can see the demand package in the Update Manager, and he left time 'Now' to 'Boot' after a reboot of the machine.  It then starts in the image upload screen Pre-os as it should.  Problem is the download of the OS (which begins by) not going nowhere.  The status bar is located at 0% until the end of a few minutes, I get the following message:

    BusyBox v1.00 (2007.02.08 - 11:26 + 0000) built-in shell (ash)

    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

    / bin/sh: can't access TTY; disabled job control

    / bin #.

    Does that mean something to someone?  I tried this 3 times and never further...

    Batman - I've seen this behavior intermittently on the old bootagent factory and upgrading to the latest 3.1.9 bootagent resolves the behavior.  I posted in your other thread associated with this deployment.  You use the last picture - but they release pictures of the manufacturing base in the same cycle of release management tools.  As for your security updates noted - there are updates to management for WDM Mgmt., non - pxe Imaging agents and the Agent of WCM.

    Apply the WDM 3 patches out for 5 WCM (MR1, MR2, and MR1.1).  This will upgrade the HAgent and included BootAgent packages that you need to deploy.  Once the BA is reclassified to 3.1.9 you should be able to do the test by pulling and pushing your custom images.

  • Cisco UCS 260 M 2 5.5 U3 - custom image and compatibility

    TAC has a customer turned and pointed toward a compatibility table for an installed UCS - C 260M 2, stating that the firmware of the UCS and the latest version of Vmware is not supported.

    They are suggesting that the client moves to fimware 1.5 (9) and they use a customized image of Cisco for Vmware.

    This facility is for UC/EAC, so I have to make sure that the versions supported in the docwiki for these products as well is the Vmware version.

    http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

    The drop down menu shows Vmware 5.5 U3 is a supported version and I find that 5.5 is supported in the dockwiki. So far so good.

    However, when I try to find a custom image for 5.5 U3 image only I find it:

    https://my.VMware.com/Web/VMware/details?ProductID=353&downloadGroup=OEM...

    VMware 5.5 U3a. The version of the driver specified on this page do not match driver versions indicating the interoperability matrix must be used.

    First, is there a customized image of Cisco for 5.5 U3, could someone point me to this image so that these versions of the drivers are the same?

    Secondly, can I use ISO customized Cisco to upgrade a vanilla install Vmware 5.1 U3?

    -GDR

    Greetings.

    The Cisco Custom images are just a collection of pilots who were up-to-date at the time wherever it has been presented to VMware.  It is expected that iso custom will exactly match the interoperability matrix (it could have at the time, it was created), but at least provide newer drivers than what is usually installed in the general VMware releases.

    The interoperability matrix will list the specific driver, i.e. igb driver intel 1 GB network interface.  Download you the version of the driver for VMware site and install adapt you to the requirements notified by the interoperability matrix.

    You should be able to use a custom Cisco ISO to upgrade.  When your custom installation ISO analyzes your existing system, it will see a higher version of the drivers/VIBs and update those.  The Cisco with custom isos are simply the original VMware updated versions the drivers injected into them.

    Thank you

  • Update 5.5.0 Update 3 when using custom Image

    Hello

    I'm not very familiar with VMware, so sorry if I'm missing some basic knowledge.

    I had a 5.5-2 node cluster using Dell hardware that I build using VMware ISO, I wanted to update the HP DL 360 Gen9 material. I started my last version 5.5.0 U3 with the update. I have updated all server components and then imported the 5.5.0U3a image in the Update Manager and rememdiated both nodes without any problem. Then, I removed a node and built the new DL360. I found there is a Custom Image HP, so used Intelligent Provisioning with the Custom Image, added this host and then did a scan for updates.

    He said the U3 image had to be installed, but it crashed the server KS.cfg error: file not found boot partition.

    I tried to build the server with HP Custom U2 image and then update with the generic image of U3, and it also crashes with the same error.

    So, I made a mistake trying to update a customized HP with standard virtual machine image image? If you start with a custom image, you can only apply updates to the custom image?

    Thanks, and sorry if this is a fundamental issue.

    Mick

    It is correct. If you are an ISO provided supplier (HP, Dell, etc.), these ISO will contain drivers updated with software for some of the specific software/hardware of the seller. I remember seeing a KB about don't not to upgrade ISO with ISO vmware supplier (due to driver is downgraded)

  • How to install the recovery image on Satellite Pro A300?

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 and I need factory reset. I learned from my teacher of computers there is a unknown virus on this subject. Apparently, it has been downloaded when I downloaded Malware bites. I got the laptop free of Set - BC because I muscle Handi-trophy and get tired of writing.

    My teacher told me that I need to Factory Reset, but when I got the laptop, she had everything installed on, (kurzwell, Chrome, etc.) so I don't have the disc to factory reset. In addition, the virus has disabled everything that has anything to do with the internet, (Chrome, for example, Firefox, Outlook, malware bites, etc.).

    Y at - it all means I have factory reset the laptop without the need of the disc.
    Any suggestions will help.

  • Is WDS server2008R2 - possible to make incremental changes to a custom image?

    I'm in a test environment to determine if we are able to deploy an image of windows 7, which has been customized to include the required professional applications.

    My question is; is there a microsoft (WDS/MDT/other?) solution that allows me to make incremental changes to this custom image? for example if I need to update our payroll software, I will perform the update on a PC reference, download the image to, say, the WDS server and then I'll want to spread this change to users. In order to make this small change, I have to perform a complete reinstallation of the image personalized to each PC or is there a solution that allows me to update just the gradual change?

    Thamks.

    Images can be uploaded/downloaded and imported/exported. The files resulting from these operations are not interchangeable: you can not import a download or download an export file.

    Export image files are scripts SQL that contains encoded characters of the BLOB data. "mylogo.png" is a binary image file, not a SQL script. It must be downloaded as a shared component, not imported through the import page.

  • Custom image button resets

    Hello

    I have a project with about 50 slides and use a custom image button to allow to the learner access the glossary slide at the end.

    Unfortunately sometimes the action of all the buttons gets reset to 'continue' instead of 'jump to slide _.

    What could be the reason?

    I did not remove the slide with the glossary. I have download the XML definitions for the glossary widget. I also started quiz slides by adding at the end.
    Is there anyone knows casue/effect that resets the actions of the buttons?

    Thanks for any clues as the refiguring takes every 10 minutes each...

    I can't explain why the action evolves when you copy/paste but do have a tip for you.

    Why complicate this by having the individual buttons on each slide instead of the button a single form that you can put on the master slide or on the first slide and the time for the rest of the project? You can convert each image to a form button:

  • How can I add a custom image background?

    How can I add a custom image background? I have an image. It seems little checkerboard tiles open in photshop. How can I add a background .png image which is a really cool gradient for the checkerboard behind my image?

    Load your Image

    Go to the layers panel and if it is marked 'Background', click the icon of the lock to the right to unlock and change the "Layer 0".

    Create a new layer (click on the icon of paper rolled up at the bottom of the Panel). It will be 1 layer.

    Drag Layer 1 below layer 0 and it will serve as a background for any type of filler layer you want to layer 0.

    You can save your original as a PSD for you allow to go back and change it any time.
