  As I said earlier. Treat your virtual machines and physical and use the iSCSI initiator in the operating system.

• Install VMware ESXi - 5.1.0 - Update1 error workstation 10

  Hello

  I want your help guys

  I have laptop Dell i7 with 8 GB of ram

  I need to install VMware-ESXi server

  first I install vmware workstation 10 and then I start the iso file

  but this obvious error

  < validate_host_hw_error: vender vib for hp, but host vmware, Inc. >

  How do I solve the problem

  Looks like you are using a (HP) custom vSphere ESXi installation ISO. Replace with one (not customized) directly from VMWare.

• slow startup of the host VMWare ESXi 5.5 when installed on the hard drive internal

  We have some servers Dell R720 with 256G RAM and 2 6core Procs.  When I install ESXi client for internal hard drives (mirrored array) it takes literally more than 5 minutes to start.  I can watch the vmware boot process crawl slowly the progress bar on the screen in "recovery" mode before moving on to the substantive start-up procedure yellow.

  Why is this slow process?  Why a hard drive inside is install using syslinux? (it's the first thing that shows on the display).  If I had to guess, I would say that the only facility to support runs of fat32 on a USB flash drive and the same hard drive installs use this same process to start.  Am I wrong?

  I'm late to the party, but we have been affected by this issue. The solution is a updated internally perc firmware.

  It's like night and day.

• The VMware Client with VDR plugin installed error

  

  I initially just uninstalled the client and reinstalled, does not resolve the issue.

  Then I uninstalled client and all the plugins and started to install one by one until I found the vdr plugin is causing this problem. To confirm that I uninstalled vdr plugin... no error... reinstalled vdr plugin... error.

  Versions:

  VDR 2.0

  vCenter Server 4.1

  Client VMware 4.1

  Anyone seen this before? I couldn't really find much research...

  I've heard of support: this is a known bug and a patch is being developed.  There is currently no work around for this problem (other than uninstalling the plug).

  See you soon,.

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.

• Just installed vmware ESXi 4.0.0.  Also have Workstation 6.5 I have a few questions here...

  Good day, I am new and vmware esxi virtualization in general...

  I installed the server esxi 4.0. and I want to welcome a few virtual machines on this server. I tried the ViCLient and really like it. But this customer is a 60 day trial and it costs $ 1,000 per license, if I understand correctly...

  I also have the Vmware workstation 6.5 software.

  My main goal for this is to be able to import and export on the esxi virtual machines, create snapshots, export these snapshots, etc... I'm not too familiar with Workstation 6.5 so, but so far, it does the job in terms of export and imprting vms from the ESXi. But I would like to be able to browse the data store, create virtual machines on the esxi without having to create them locally AND export to ESXi...

  I would like to be able to create, manage, copy, create and import/export snapshots, to/from the esxi, but I guess you can't do all this using VmWare Workstation? I would buy the Vsphere CLient, but I'm not one who has a hand on the budget of COMPUTING...

  When you access download ESXi you license number appears near the top of the page. Enter this number in the Configuration tab under license vSphere client.

• Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

  I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

  Let me know if it helps.

  

• The Vcops error (VMware-vcops - 5.8.0.0 - 1448123 - vapp.ova) on VMware ESXi (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64.iso)

  Hi all

  I am a novice in this area and to learn.

  I installed VMware ESXi 5.5 in one of my machine and it works through VMware player. Am also able to connect to VMware ESXi 5.5 via Vsphere Client 5.5 on my machine. Through my research on the internet I found that vCenter Server is required only when we have the large number of ESXi to manage (correct me if I'm wrong). In my case, I have only one. Therefore, I have not installed vCenter Server.

  Now, I want to deploy vCops with VMware ESXi 5.5 5.8. But while deploying OVF template(VMware-vcops-5.8.0.0-1448123-vapp.ova), I get the following error.

  

  My understanding above is correct or am I missing something obvious?

  Hi RizQad,

  According to the guidelines of the screenshot, you connect directly to the host ESXi 192.168.0.49 and the error is reported through the OVF vCOPs. It's expected, because the ESXi host do not understand the purpose of vAPP, as explained in my initial comment.

  You need to connect to your IP vCVA i.e. 192.168.0.51 using the vSphere client and then import the OVF vCOPs.

  Let me know if you still experience this issue.

• Configuration of the initial network for ESXi

  Hi all

  New VMware user here, set up my first environment. I have an ESXi host who has four physical network cards (NiC0, NiC1, NiC2, NiC3).

  I installed ESXi, the VCVA device and multiple virtual machines with great success. They are related to the local storage currently, but I want to connect to our iSCSI SAN.

  Physically NiC0 and NiC1 are connected to our regular network switch. NiC2 and NiC3 are connected to our iSCSI network, which is a separate network.

  So what I did is NiC0 and NiC1 set as active for the management on the ESXi host network. I left NiC2 and NiC3 uncontrolled.

  When I use the vSphere client to create the iSCSI connection, he can't see NiC2 or NiC3. I need to activate all four cards can use them in vSphere?

  If I enable NiC2, NiC3 and, they say that they are disconnected, because they are connected to our iSCSI network and have no regular network connection.

  Am I way off track here?

  Welcome to the community,

  I would recommend you take a look at the Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.1 to discover how to set up iSCSI software.

  You basically need to do is to remove the 2 NICs (vmnic2 and vmnic3) of the current vSwitch, create a new vSwitch with 2 groups of VMKernel ports and two vmnic and configure groups of ports to use a vmnic as active and the other as unused (i.e. port group--> vmnic2 active = 1, vmnic3 = unused and port group 2--> vmnic2 unused = vmnic3 = active). Once this is done, you can create the iSCSI map in "Storage adapters" and add two VMKernel ports.

  It is also important to review the documentation of storage vendors. Storage vendors usually provide the guide of best practices for how to configure iSCSI on ESXi to work best with their equipment.
