Impossible to boot from iso file on DL385G5p

New VMware customer.  We have 2 new servers DL385 G5p.  There was a bug where the optical drive is not supported in the 123629and build would prevent the ESXi installation.  We got beyond that point through workaround optical drive disconnect and then the most recent installation ESXi patch 143129.  Reconnect the optical drive, but it is not yet usable (SCSI)?.  But at least we can start ESXi.  Good.

The current problem is that I can create a virtual machine, but it will not start with an iso file.  The iso file was transferred to the store of data residing on disks SAS DL385 (same location as the ESXi installation).  I tried an iso file of Windows Server 2003 and also the same iso file ESXi I installed (just to try a well known iso file).

When I start the virtual machine, I get a lot of startup network messages (which are not since there is no installation of network boot).  I can't tell if she actually tries to boot from the iso file.

My virtual machine properties are:

1 CD/DVD drive, connection to the power device Type = Datastore ISO file = esxi.iso

Is he really trying to start the iso file and think that it is not valid?  Or it not even try to boot from iso?  Can I disable attempts to network boot (I don't see any option in the BIOS of the virtual computer)?

I can start using the device Client (with the Windows Server 2003 cd into the optical drive of my pc).

I don't think you can remove the network boot option.  The virtual machine only generally goes to this last resort if all other boot options do not work.  As long as the .iso image file is good this process should work without problems in the future.

Please allow the points if it was useful.

Thank you

  • Impossible to boot from ISO files

    Hello

    I installed vmware ESXi server on PE Dell 2950 and open SSH. I copied iso files in the directory under the store data and then plugged the iso file as CD drive to boot from the iso image to start the installtion VM but ESXi server does not read BLAH iso files. I have checked and rechecked my iso files. I am able to boot BOF iso files even if I join them in VMWare server 2.0.

    Can someone help me please.

    Kind regards

    Ahsan.

    Set the delay to start VM 10-20 seconds, open the console VM and VM power on. Press Esc during the countdown - you will see the boot menu.

    Press to change the settings for the virtual machine and make sure that ISO file is indicated to the right and the CD is connected.

    After that, go back to the console and select CD as a source of start-up - installation should begin.

  • Cannot boot from ISO image

    Hello

    I have a server ESXi 4.0 on a four-core AMD machine. I'm trying to start a win XP VM using an ISO image (which I already downloaded to the data store on the server using the VSphere client).

    In the settings of the virtual machine, I changed the boot sequence to boot from the CD, but it never starts CD. It still gives this error:

    PXE - E51: no DHCP or proxyDHCP received

    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM

    Operating system not found

    I tried with options but I was not able to start this machine to install the virtual machine. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Omer

    The option, during startup, allows to manually select the CD player (that would be the ISO image)... Also, make sure that the cd/dvd drive is on "sign in to turn on. If the MV is running, you can also select / the checkbox 'connected '. If you have not configured to connect to turn on, then it will never see the drive, then you will not be able to boot from the ISO file...

  • Boot from ISO question

    The host is Windows Server 2 k 8 x 64 SP2 STD.  Guest is Windows Server 2 k 3 STD SP2 (32 bit) running in VMWare Workstation 6.5.2.  I need to fix the 2 k 3 VM, which requires that I have boot from the CD, but I don't have that an ISO, CD. I use Daemon Tools Lite to mount the ISO as a drive, but I don't know where to create the virtual DVD_ROM disc such as the virtual machine can / will see when I boot it (I tried to get on the host and the guest). I already went in the BIOS of the virtual machine and modified so that he will see the DVD - ROM drive until he goes on the hard drive. I tried to share my virual DVD_ROM, but have been unable to map it to VMWAre Workstation. None of these things have solved the problem. How do I (or it is even possible to ~) put things up to the boot prompt of the ISO?

    Navigate to the virtual machine settings.  (VM menu, settings)  Then change the connection to "Use physical drive" CD to "use ISO Image file.

  • VSphere client light web - cannot select boot from ISO via the CD/DVD drive

    I had used P2v to virtualize a Windows 7 machine and after the start he said that the "the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. I think I need to run a repair using Windows 7 image and possibly launch a fixboot and fixmbr, but when I try to adjust the settings of the virtual machine using the web client to boot from the ISO it displays an error and the ok button to save the settings is grayed out. How is it doesn't let me do this?

    Never mind. I got the VM running in Vsphere client while trying to change the setting in the web client.

  • ESXi 3.5 Update 4 virtual machines cannot boot from ISO image stored on the server

    Ok

    If I have one of my virtual machines of ESXi configured to use an ISO image sitting on my server ESXi, they cannot boot from this image.  This is after you click "ESC" during startup in order to change the startup CD-ROM.  I have this a known issue, or I'm just doing something wrong?  If I have the vms use an ISO sitting on my desktop (using Infrastructure Client) it works fine.

    Or the answer is even simpler, make sure I connect at power on.

    OK, Yes!  But some of the things we take for granted... haha...

  • Tecra A11 - 17 C - impossible to boot from LAN

    Hello

    For the last few days I worked on a Toshiba Tecra A11 - 17 c PTSE0E - 02W01GEN.

    I work in a school and we have about 15 of these laptops. I was not the person who did the origonal installation and this person has not left.

    One of the computers needed a re - build. We use an installation of LAN to windows 7 so I put prioraty device that the network card, save it and re - start.

    Then, sometimes with the error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable.
    Now, I know the NIC works fine beuse it worked before I did any messing around.

    I then checked the other laptop and I get the same error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable and they all fully functional network ports.

    So I thought ok there is something in the BIOS.
    I found nothing apart an Enable lan option that is enabled.

    It was suggested to relax the default BIOS and then format the hard drive.
    So I thought ok well first I'll try it with the BIOS reset if that does not work, I'll do a format.

    So after that it does not work I thought Okay I'll just clone your laptop work with clonezilla.

    Do I get to the windows flag then instantly the blue screen of death, I can't read it so I is much too fast.

    I thought ok I swap hard drives with the work there. The boots work the clone hard drive just fine without error at all, but the work PC hard drive load the windows flag then blue screen of death.

    I then used a product recovery disc now, it's a drive of windows XP is usless. But I did anyway, and same thing again, it turns the disc fine install XP fine but the flag windows and blue screen of death.

    I finally intertwined a hardrive work 1 different working laptop and a same new blue screen of death in wondows flag.

    It seems to me there must be something on the bios that is
    (A) stop the network port in the bios
    (B) stopping the different hard drives to work in the laptop, even if it's exactly the same laptop.

    They built from the network before for the wondows current installation works, but I have no idea what to do now.

    The error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable means that the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN, but the configuration of the installation could not proceed.
    Why?
    I m not very well why, but probably there is something wrong with the PXE server settings, etc.

    Are you sure that PXE server has been correctly configured to 100%?
    If this is not the case, check this box.

    > I then used a product recovery disc now, it's a drive of windows XP is usless. But I did anyway, and same thing again, it turns the disc fine install XP fine but the flag windows and blue screen of death.

    Always is Win XP installation could be completed, and this means that the HARD drive should be ok.
    The BSOD could be due to incompatible software or wrong / driver that is part of the recovery disk

    Are you sure that the Win XP Recovery disk you used was the right one?

    How about installation using charge Windows 7 system using the disk of Microsoft?

    Yes, it's true
    Generally it is not possible to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

  • Impossible to download an ISO.file to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 on HP laptop

    Hi members,

    I succumbed to download the above file to upgrade my computer. Once the download is complete the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. May not permissions to access you the item. »

    MSE and the firewall is disabled but without any positive results. Site Web that I use is not official Microsoft. It would make a difference as well?

    Hello

    I just looked to the top of this website that you gave.

    You do not buy the product on their own keys.

    You buy the full DVD sealed package, unopened product key/license.

    You paid $60-70?

    OEM is $ 119 at Amazon for OEM Windows 7 home Premium; Why do you think that you got it at 1/2 price?

    There is no 'special' on for Windows 7 because it becomes difficult to buy, unless it is hacked.

    And their Web site offers a download instead of a DVD

    This is the download link for Microsoft.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.). or licenses for OEM System builders.

    See you soon.

    Thank you

    Your external DVD drive is operatying as it should.

    The best place to find an answer on how to make the live CD is the Debian forum. Disk made you apparentlydoes is not not a MBR boot sector or a recognized EFI partition. Either of the people is what is necessary for the drive to be bootable and your notebook BIOS must be configured in accordance with the choice of the type of format.

    Personally I've always preferred to use a utility likeUNetbootln to make several versions of Linux "live" bootable.

    I don't bother with the hassle of the DVD or CD media more.

    If you have a spare drive 32 or 64 GB USB flash drive, so you can put an incredible number of versions of Linux and troubleshooting utilities on it.

    The economy of scale with usb flashdrive has gotten to the point where a 16 GB usb key is less expensive than recordable DVD media. Check outthe Newegg price.
