• How to install ESXi 5.1 Server DELL with ESXi 5.5 installed on IDSDM?

  Hello

  We get a new DELL server that gets 5.5 ESXi installed on IDSDM.

  Given that we are still using ESXi 5.1, we want to set up this server to make it work also ESXi 5.1 update 3.

  There are 2 physical disks in SAS, which has been configured as RAID1.

  We would like to know when we install ESXi 5.1, ought to move the disk RAID1 or IDSDM cards?

  If IDSDM cards are preferred, is used for the local HD in RAID?

  If we should install on local RAID HD, can we use IDSDM as SSD for ESXi host cards?

  Thank you

  In addition, if we install in the HD, can we use the SD card to ESXi host? : - You can install in HD and SD card is used to keep the backup in case of failure of HD of ESXi image. To do this, you must put the image cache in the SD card.

  If you install in the SD card, then you must configure the scratches in HD because of the constraint of space with CD card.

• Newbie install ESXi

  Hi, I managed to install ESXi on a new server system. It's a Dell 2900 with a Quad Core CPU autonomous system. I am very new to this but have used desktop virtualized using VMware Server from time to time but nothing too advanced. I'm completely lost on what to do after installing VMWare ESXi Server. I downloaded the VMWare Infrastructure Client on another machine and managed to connect to the ESX Server. My first question is

  1. I had the impression that the service console was not part of ESXi. Isn't VMWare Infrastructure Client something like the service console. I installed it or is it completely separated from the service console?

  2. after installation of the ESXi server, I installed the converter vmware on another machine where I had some configured virtual machines using VMware server. I used the converter for converting those virtual machines 1 and send it to my ESX Server. It's a virtual machine with Windows XP Pro as a guest operating system. Now when I start this virtual machine through ESXi upward I see all the processors appear in the Task Manager. I have a Quad core Machine (single processor) shouldn't be the Manager in the guest operating system tasks show all 4 core. I've seen this at other places and they show the core. I changed the settings to the guest operating system to display 2 cpu and I see 2 CPUs of however it is not a multi cpu system yet. If someone can you please confirm if change the processor at 2 in the guest operating system settings is actually looking at this core 2 (out of 4) and how do I see 4 if I want to do. If I install another virtual machine that will share resources or it will look 2 free core.

  3. What is a data store? I installed ESXi on the new Dell 2900 directly on the 80 GB HARD drive. It is the only HARD drive in the system right now. Now, I'm not sure this concept of data store. Is it the same as the partitions? A new data store must be created for each new OS comments that I install the ESXi Server? Is that possible now (after I installed the ESXi server) or should I format and erase everything once more?

  4. is it ok to use the converter to convert a computer virtual vmware server or is - this good to install the guest from scratch OS and if installed from scratch is it not duplicate without going through the whole process of installation again?

  Apologize for these trivial issues. I did a little search on the forum and found a lot of information which I finally installed the server but there is a lot of information on the web as well as the community, which is a bit overwhelming. If possible in addition to answering these questions can someone please direct me to tell a beginners guide or e-learning courses (free preference ). Thx for your help.

  With regard to the number of CPUS could you please confirm why am I limited to a maximum of 2 processors. I don't have the ability to select 4. Not that I want to assign 4 CPU but just as before if I created 3 or 4 virtual machines and they are running at the same time as wouldn't distributedby the vmkernel CPU load automatically or he was telling me that I have exhausted my allowance of CPU and cannot allocate cpu for additional vm. My guess is he'll let me add how ever VMs and it will spread the load between the 4 Core automatically but I just want to confirm.

  I think with the processors you see is a few becaue of intelligence with a quad core CPU alone you will not want to have a quad vCPU VM - you will certainly experience contention for CPU - not on how the ESX Server plan your virtual CPU - this will depend on demand for virtual machine processor and the vmkernel (the operating system of your ESXi server) will try to carry the load the better it can - then Yes you can overallocate CU resources (CPU, restraint) when this happens, the virtual machine will have to wait for cycles - the other thing to keep in mind when you have multiple virtual processors all get on demand at the same time so if the VMKernel cannot schedule all virtual processors none will have to obtain planned affecting performance , ECMA of your virtual machine - which is why best is to always start with one vCPU unique unless you have empirical data in support of several UC - especially with a single physical CPU, I would be very careful about creating virtual machines to several virtual processors

• Install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820

  
  Greetings,

  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820 server.  I have problems with the reason of the installation because the NETWORK adapter is not supported by the operating system (5.1 ESXi).  I did a little research and discovered that there are custom versions of ESXi out there to install on vaious systems.  That would be the problem?  If so, does anyone know a particluar website that I might be able to get the correct version of ESXi 5.1 for this server dell PowerEdge R820.
  Here are the specs:
  Dell PowerEdge R820 - RAID 5
  Interface NETWORK Broadcom 1 GB card

  Xeon processors (w / 8 cores)
  512 GB RDIMMS
  3 x 146 GB SAS hot plug hard drive

  Any help would be great!  Thank you!!

  Yes it has an internal USB slots (2) and Dell Power Edge T310 is the HCL just check your CPU

  People had a lot of problems installing ESXi4 on boxes, but it is associated with RAID controller driver.

  This should be included and sorted on ESXi 5: see http://communities.vmware.com/thread/243513?start=15&tstart=0

  I use a HP Microserver with ESXi 5 fortunately boot from USB

  Please allow points if it is useful/correct

• Install ESXi 4 PE Dell 310 if an error occurs

  Hi gentlemen

  Try to install the last install ESXi on a Dell PE T310.

  I heard that he dislikes the H200 raid controller, so for now I'm just installing on a single drive running off the SATA controller.

  Get to select the drive to install to, and then receives the error displayed in the image as an attachment.

  Can anyone shed light on this point, as I google for hours without result!

  Thanks in advance

  Josh

  Did you do a checksum? It is important to do? Also do the checksum against the CD. Make sure they match. There is nothing to gain by saying that it should be OK. Test to make sure. You can also try to write the image CD and not DVD. Try to write it using another drive.

• How to install esxi 4.0 Update 1 on Dell PE 710 R

  How to install esxi 4.0 Update 1 on Dell PE 710 R? on esxi, we want to create virtual machines for windows 2008 r2.

  We can use Dell Open manage and it gives options to use esxi 4.0 or we need to start directly from esxi 4.0 Update 1 CD and run the installer.

  Please suggest the best way to configure esxi 4.0 on dell 710R server.

  If you are on the Dell hardware, you need at least generation 9 material, for example, a Dell PE 1850 or 2850 will not support a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit o/s. If you're on a material later, where the processor supports the technology of Intel Virtualization (VT), you can enable it in the BIOS of the host.

  Please note that R2 support is "experimental" - you will need to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 installed full support.

  Hope that helps

• Install ESXi on the SD card in Dell R710

  I get 2 servers Dell R710, MD3000i SAN and VMWare Infrastructure 3 Enterprise (with Virtual Center Foundation).  When you talk with the Dell Server specialist, he said that he would save us a lot of money on servers if I installed ESXi on a card SD of myself.  (you must get the level premium for the server support if you put ESXi embedded)

  First of all, I know that the card must be 1 GB or less, but I was wondering if there is a specific brand or model that would work better?

  In addition, can I put the card in, make the appropriate changes to the BIOS and install ESXi directly on the SD card on a CD?  Or, I have to install ESXi on the map with a workstation has a SD card reader and place it in the R710?

  I searched a bit and can only collect pieces on it.  Any help would be appreciated!

  The links should help you, but it will not be a supported installation.   I would also check to see if Dell provides a built-in ESXi recovery CD.  Have you checked to see if you can just order

• Cannot install ESXi on a Seagate HDD 5.5

  Hello

  While I am trying to install ESXi on a Dell M630 Blade Server, it does not detect the storage drives to install on. I use a Dell certified 500 GB 7.2 K rpm NLSAS 6Gbps in 2.5 Hot plug Seagate (model number hard drive ST9500620SS).

  
  

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you

  In some cases, it may be necessary to clean the partition table on the disk. In any case, depending on your hardware, components, you may need to use custom Dell ESXi image, which includes additional drivers to take support the Dell hardware. You will find the image at http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/poweredge-m630/drivers. Simply change the ESXi 5.5 operating system and expand the 'Business Solutions '.

• Undetected after the fresh install ESXi virtual machines

  Hello

  I have to say I really enjoyed working with ESXi, but I run a quick question for the moment.

  I initially installed ESXi 5 on an SD card and created several virtual machines via vSphere Client Windows. Because of the card SD comes off on the reboot (using a Dell R610), I have now decided to install ESXi 5 on a USB key. However, when I open the Windows of vSphere client, I do not see the virtual machines on the host, but I see that they are always present in the VMFS data store that I created earlier. When I boot from the SD card, they appear very well.

  I have to migrate somehow?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  As this is a new installation of ESXi you can save the VMs from the data store as the inventory.xml on the new facility can be empty.

  Measures to save the virtual machine using vmx are available on Ko http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006160

• Could not find the device with uuid - ESXi 4 and 5 - Dell 2950

  Hello

  I am installing ESXi4 or 5 on a Dell 2950.  I'm not an expert material guy, but I think the controller is a Perc 5 controller hardware / i.  It is a processor of Intel Xeon dual core CPU 2.

  The link of compatibility:

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  I see only the processors Xeon 5xxx and above seem to be supported, and I honestly don't know if mine it fits or not but when I had installed CentOS and made ' less/proc/cpuinfo', no model number came, just that it was a Xeon processor.

  When I install ESXi on this server (I turned on hardware virtualization in the BIOS), the installation looks ok, but when the computer restarts, it always seems to try to load my old server CentOS so it's as if the installation has not completely replace the drive. Raid Controller had 2 virtual disks so maybe I didn't replace what was a disc of "boot"?  I will try that next.

  Guess I'm looking for confirmation that the CPU is ok and I'm missing nothing else.

  Thank you

  1 in the raid bios remove the raid and create a new one, and then reinstall esxi.

  2 when you install also use iso Dell:

  do both and you should have a running system.

• Install ESXi 5.0 existing 4.0

  I am running a Dell PowerEdge T610 with VMware ESXi 4.0 installed on the SD card in the server.  The guest vm is installed on the physical hard disks of this server.   I want to install the latest vmware ESXi 5.0 on this server.

  What I would do instead of actually the upgrade of the current ESXi 4.0 on the SD card, must actually cut down all the vm and the server.  Then I would insert a new SD card in the server and install ESXi 5.0 (or newer) on this subject.  Dell told me this would be the best way to go about it since we do not need to be until the end of the week and I have downtime.

  When I finish the installation on the new SD card, the new 5.0 ESXi installation will be able to run the current vm running on ESXi 4.0?  Once I have installed the new ESXi 5.0 on the new SD card installation there will see banks of data on its hard drives.  How will this work?  Sorry I n;' t have experience with this and I just want to get on the right track.

  Your plan is good.
  The new facility will see your old datatstores - you just need to register virtual machines and set up networking

• ESXi 4.1 and Dell PowerEdge 860

  I can't find Dell PoweEdge 860 to VMware hardware compatibility list.  And it is not in "Die ESXi 4.x compatibility" Dell either.  But I found a few post on someone managed to install ESXi 4.0 on a USB key.

  My 860 PE has a SAS 5/iR adapt (RAID controller).  Someone managed to installed ESXi 4.1 (U1 or U2) on this model?  Should I use generic ISO image to ISO from VMware or custom Dell?

  Thanks in advance

  Right, in my view, this is going to be a monologue

  So I finally tried Dell's custom ISO for ESXi 4.1 U2 (VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD-4.1_Update2-502767.x86_64-DellCustomized_A02.iso)

  ESXi software has been installed without problem.  My RAID controller is correctly recognized as SAS 5/iR adapter.  And things are obviously well run.

  However, there is something quite disturbing: the disk data store has the property

  Hardware acceleration: unknown

  More, even if my drives are SAS 15krpm, disk i/o is really slow (especially writing). When the server was using Windows Server 2003 R2, the writing on the disc was faster.  I don't know if there is anything I could do...

  I just hope that this server could last for the next two years, after which I might be able to have a new
