• Install a custom configuration for ESXi Installer for server 28 - Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value to 1

  Hello

  First off I will say that I installed ESXi 4.1 in about 6 servers to date.  I have a large ESXi Cluster that contains the MSCS virtual machines.  I have the problem that described in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016106.  Now, workaround for the value Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value 1 works fine and shorten time of start of 40 + minutes to 8 minutes after post.  Now, what to install it?  Well, they suck.  Basically before you can actually adjust this via the gui VI client, you must go through 2 trunk of ESXi 4.1 (1 ffrom the CD and 1 after initial installation).  So, basically, to install ESXi on servers 1 takes me about 2 hours.  That sucks.  Anyone know how I can make a customized CD that includes the fix 'Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value to 1' already?  28 more servers to go and I'm not looking forward to that!  Please help...

• Move the existing 5.5 ESXi installation of the HARD disk on USB.

  I need help on what would be the best approach to move my existing ESXi 5.5 install the HARD disk to the new USB.

  Then you tell your environment uses the local disk to your VM data store (s)? In addition, you want to move your partition ESXi to USB and recover the local disk space? I think if it was me, the the more safe thing to do would be to shut down the system, pull on the local drive on just enough to disable / he dethrone, insert the USB key and run ESXi installation. Then (after checking the boot order) reinstall the local disk and boot the system. Once the USB key version boots, make your configurations (DNS, NTP, license etc.) and add the data store (s) existing local drive. You can then add existing virtual machines via "navigation" of the data store (s).

• Cisco C220 M3 - ESXi installation - is ESXi free?

  Hi guys,.

  I want to install ESXi Server C220 M3. I think that ESXi is free but I'm not sure. Do need me a permit for the Cisco custom ESXi image?

  I also have another server C220 M3 distinct from each other. For this one, I have a license vSphere Enterprise license. Do I need another license of ESXi here?

  Thank you.

  At the end of 60 days, to change the 'license' to the ESXi installation to get a perpetual license (with much reduced features) key of VMware.

  Basis of VMware and virtuallisation managed with the vi client is included in the free license, but no vCenter and all the goodies that come with it.

• Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

  Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

  Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-takes-2-minutes-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-esxi-installation

  works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

  TinkerTry.com/download-vsphere-5-lab

  and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-lets-you-quickly-and-easily-reformat-an-esxi-usb-flash-drive-back-to-full-capacity

  Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

  Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

  Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

  Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

  Thoughts and opinions?

  Just a follow up on my comment about several injection of VIB in the ISO that you use as a file source for Rufus (a few months back, seen above):

• ESXi & Installer hangs when starting

  Hello

  I looked around and looked for my problem-related entries in the forum, but I couldn't find anything...

  Here is my problem:

  * New server Fujitsu TX200 S7:

  2 x Xeon CPU / 64GByte = 16GByte RAM 4 x / 4 x SAS HDD 600GByte / RAID LSI Ctr RAID0/1/5/6/10/50/60 mit FBU - Erw. + Modul TFM / DVD - RW / embeddet USB Device of the UFM

  I experienced enormous problems to start with the installer of vmware esxi 5.1 (or 5.0) CD ROM or esxi host 5.1.

  What works with the above server:

  * Install it is an os windows 2012 std server on the raid system is executed without absolutely no problems

  Start the success of server std 2012 win every time.

  * Setup a esxi host 5.1 on the server, but only subsequently install Fujitsu «server see DVD»

  What does NOT work with the above server: (every time, never had a successful boot)

  Booting with the esxi 5.0 installation CD original fujitsu - fails!

  * Start with one (from vmware) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  * Start with one (from fujitsu) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  Start a successuflly by the Fujitsu 'Start Server CD' installed esxi host 5.1 on this server - fails!

  * Test: start without lsi sas controller (without any disk hard sas) - the server starts faster (without the lsi raid controller firmware)-, but fails.

  * Test: starting with half of the installed RAM - fails!

  The symptoms of what happens during startup and cannot:

  * First step of booting (bundle of progress on the top of the screen) will run successfully

  * During the first seconds of the second stage (starting ESXi Kernel, beam of progress is displayed on the bottom of the screen), the computer did a hard-reset and the startup process begins once more.

  So I don't know what I could do.

  Because all windows system works perfectly, I would exclude a hardware error

  On the other side, Fujitsu specifies this server with this equipment compatible with esxi, then I do not understand that no esxi (Installer) will be initialize to top.

  So, what could be the reason why the software does not start?

  How can I know the reason why the systems do not initialize-go to top?

  Thank you very much for any suspicion solve my problem!

• Can I install server on an existing weblogic 10.3.6 7.6 short?

  I would like to install short Server 7.6 on an existing weblogic 10.3.6 using JDK 1.6U45 based Windows 2008 R2 SP1. I noticed the installation guide, just select 3 options when installing weblogic 10.3.6, while the existing weblogic 10.3.6 in real life was fully installed. So can I install server on this existing weblogic 10.3.6 7.6 short? Thank you!

  Hello

  Yes you can install the server short in an existing WebLogic 10.3.6, although it is preferable to devote a WebLogic domain to hosting the server short application. See about that on short and WebLogic integration server, the Server 7.6.0 short doc.

  In this document, it is stated:

  «Important: for performance and troubleshooting purposes, it is best to dedicate a WebLogic domain to hosting that application server short.» In this case, the short-server root context is used in the URL to one of the WebLogic Server instance hosting the server short application. »

  In addition, the server short Setup Guide provides instructions for the installation of the generic version of the Oracle WebLogic 10.3.6. installation package and no matter what other packages of WebLogic. Specifically, it says:

  "This procedure is based on the components that are available in the installation of WebLogic Server under the terms of the limited license to use Oracle. If your site already has access to the most complete version of the WebLogic Server, additional components can be put at your disposal. However, the instructions in this topic do not guarantee that all the other components of the WebLogic Server can be used with short server. In addition, some components, such as Enterprise Manager, are not addressed in this guide. »

• 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.

• ESXi Installable vs ESXi Embedded

  Can someone please explain the differences between ESXi Installable, ESXi Embedded vs?

  See you soon.

  The installation program will install the CD to the hard drive or USB / SD card.

• ESXi installation options

  Is better to install ESXi on a local storage (for example 2 HD configured in RAID1) or on an SD card/USB key?

  Max

  It is up to you...

  There are pro and cons on two solutions.

  IMHO, I prefer the option without disc. And could be very interesting and probably also the best solution when a server will be delivered with a double SD card (mirrored).

• I can't install Windows XP SP3. Windows Installer of my computer is buggy and I can't fix it.

  Title really says it all, but I guess I can go into the details here.  I'm trying to update my PalmOne M505 to work with Windows XP.  I have the .exe file.  It uses Windows Installer to install so I can read my M505 with XP.  Problem: Windows Installer is completely planted on my computer for some reason any.

  On a related note, I can't install updates; probably due to the installer of Windows being broken.  I followed the instructions on the page to support to the letter (and the number!), but it does not solve anything.  I could use a little help...

  Even if someone does that send me some kind of update package that does not use Windows Installer...

  And on a side note, what the bajeezus, I chose not only as my profile name!  It should be "Kaos_Lord!"

  Note 2: it is fixed?

  What the heck!  It is an error to Windows XP!  I did not in the Windows 7 forum.

  [This forum is for discussions specific to Windows Update on Win7, Vista, and Windows XP, despite what you see at the top of the page or in the URL. Yes, it's @# $% & confusing! [What were they thought?]

  Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!
