• UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

  Hello world

  I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

  In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

  Hoping someone could help me.

  Llianovich,

  Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

• Initialization failed: press a button to try again... when installing ESXi ISO

  After a repair of an already open a question problem, a new question was raised.  I open another question because this problem is new, and I thought that a new question must be requested in this regard.

  Following the instructions of this question, I have re-recognized my blade twice.  Looking at the KVM, I have not seen a no boot device message, which was to be expected.  I went to re - install ESXi 5.5 (which was already installed on the SD card before the open-ended question) and I am now met with the following message is displayed:

  isolinux: disk error 20, AX = 422D, reader EF

  I rebooted several times the blade to re - try unsuccessfully to installation.  I even went back to an ISO of 5.1 ESXi, who gave the best results.

  The ISOs I use are UCS VMware ISOs downloaded directly from VMware.

  Please check the question as answered future users faced with the same question

• Could not install ESXi on UCS B200M2

  I have traced the image ISO of ESXi in KVM virtual media and installation of VM always failed with the message
  "Could not load the module/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmfs3: failure.

  I use the downloaded image from VMware with file name "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0.update1 - 348481.x86_64.iso.

  Anyone know anything about this? Thank you

  Sorry took me awhile to find the email.

  So here's the deal with ISO specific to Cisco for ESXi.

  You use the specific Cisco of ESXi image if you install ESXi on the following

  1 UCS B230 local disk. Image 4.1 standard not a wrong driver LSI. If you perform a boot SAN with Palo you are fine.

  2. If you use any CNAs GEN2 (Emulex and Qlogic). It's true, regardless which you install ESXi on the blade.

  According to internal e-mail, I'm looking at these drivers did not have the 4.1U1 image, but should be in the 4.1U2 and 4.0U3.

  Result based on the answers above all what has worked and what has not with what equipment I would say that the news of the email are correct.

• C200 M2 LFF does not see the disks in the start menu after installing ESXi

  So in front of me, I have a brand new C200 M2 LFF with a single E5606 processor, 20 GB of RAM and a controller LSI Megaraid 9260 - 4i and 4 drives of 1 TB SAS. I put the disks in a RAID 5 array, I created a 10 GB virtual disk and properly installed ESXi on it twice, with a second virtual disk to be used as a data store.

  However, I can't get the thing to boot. It isn't even an option. The only storage in the boot menu option corresponds to the DVD player. If I look at the mass storage controller configuration, in fact, 0 and 4 SATA ports are "not installed" and port 5 has the DVD player.

  I tried fiddling with the settings of the BIOS without a bit of luck. Currently, the integrated controller is enabled and the SATA mode is set on improved (which seems to be the default, and what is recommended with Megaraid cards). It is a bundle (UCSC-DBUN-C200-102 by delivery, which seems to be a number of separate reference only), so I didn't have to assemble whatever it is and I guess that all the cables are connected at the factory. I opened the server, and I can say that all the cables look connected.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to open a case with the TAC, that's good, but seeing as I can't actually install the operating system there must be something stupid miss me.

  Disable the onboard Controller. This is software raid ICH10R.

  Reset. Then in the fixed CIMC/BIOS boot order and pint at the LSI.

  For the most recent ESXi 5.0, go to VMWare and search for ' ESXi 5.0 cumulative 2.

• install ESXi on UCS to boot from SAN

  Hello

  I have ucs and I need to boot from SAN

  I need to confirm something

  When I was installing WindowsServer the UCS to boot from SAN. I have attached the iso drivers for the HBA driver so that the blade can detect the boot LUN.

  Now, I'm going to install ESXi. Do you know if I need to use the iso as drivers for the HBA as with windows or ESXi detects this and will present me the boot LUN to start the installation?

  We will use the ESXi, VMware no custom of Cisco

  Thank you

  Hello

  A major difference:

  MSFT Windows has no drivers of enic fnic UCS preinstalled with the distribution of iso.

  ESXi has, but most likely not one who demands that the UCS support matrix.

  See http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  Therefore you install ESXi ISO of the distribution, and then you update the drivers of the enic/fnic

  Hello

  I have a Hp server, I intend to install Vmware on it. Please help me to sub questions.

  1 > what version of Vmware would be appropriate install (ESXi 5.5 or 6.0)

  2 > installation procedure of NU METAL.

  Thank you

  ANUP Kumar

  Welcome to the community,

  1. version to be used depends on what is supported on your hardware (see VMware Compatibility Guide) especially with the new generation of server (Gen8/Gen9) you must customize the installation ESXi yourself (inject the necessary drivers) or use the already custom image provided by HP (see Customize of Images VMware ESXi for HP ProLiant servers)
  2. the installation is quite simple. Start the host from an ESXi installation CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  What you can do before installing ESXi is to update the host with the latest firmware available and set up the RAID. Also, don't forget to activate the settings necessary BIOS, like the x - VT (Virtualization Technology)... It is also advisable to define 'High Performance' power management profile.

• 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.

• Cannot install ESXi on a Seagate HDD 5.5

  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 '.

• Not able to install ESXi in Intel S2600CW

  Hi all

  When I try to install ESXi 5.5 U2 Intel S2600CW V3 during installation the server automatically restart immediately to initialization of ACPI.

  I've installed all the latest Firmware and still I am facing the same issue.

  In the BIOS, you should disable MMIO above 4 characteristic b. that is, BIOS > advanced > PCI configuration > MMIO beyond 4 GB > disable.

  Install ESX after changing the BIOS setting it works fine.
