• 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

  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.

• VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

  Hi all

  I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

  I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

  I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

  Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

  Kind regards

  I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

  You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

  What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

  If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

• Install ESXi version with Dell management components

  Hello

  How can I make a 'normal' version of ESXi edition of Dell management components? Can I burn a CD with iso ESXi Dell and update installation CD?

  Thank you

  Installation CD do a new installation or repair (repair would wipe your current config while retaining the VMFS partitions).  You would with your case

  (1) download the latest patch of ESXi from here - http://download3.vmware.com/software/vi/ESXe350-200904401-O-SG.zip

  (2) extract the ZIP file and you will find 3 ZIP file.  From one that ends by - I-BG-zip (it will be about 44 MB in size).

  (3) in this ZIP you will find VMware-OEM - image.tar.gz - extracted Dell.tgz.

  (4) copy that /bootbank/oem.tgz and restart your host.

• Install Esxi 4.1 Dell configuration manager does not find esxi

  When the dell Configurator requires the CD of Esxi, I put downloaded 4.1 Esxi installable cd and it does not recognize.

  Any idea?

  I guess the only thing that can fail is the installation of all the necessary modules.  This, however, can normally be solved after installation.

  If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful!  Thank you!

• ESXi 4.1 - Dell Poweredge 2850 - tape backup - host does not support configuring passthrough

  I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM.  I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ".  Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed.  Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160).  See.  This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.

  So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list.  This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?

  To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o).   I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this.  It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.

• Install ESXi keeps restarting without end

  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge 700. When I boot on the installation CD, when the 60% of its gobblygook reached about progress bar shows on the screen and then reboots. This loop will continue until death.

  I checked the downloaded ISO file MD5 signature and one binary compared the CD burned with the ISO. I tried to turn off all devices in the BIOS except for the drive controller with the same results. Although, the PowerEdge 700 is not listed as having been tested by anyone, the 830/850 was and he has the same SATA controller. Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

• OK, I NEED someone TO HELP me INSTALL LESS ESXi 5.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server! And of course, HE IS No. TUTORIAL on this SITE FOR ME HELP!

  As I said earlier:

  OK, I am trying to install vSpere on my Dell PowerEdge 1950.

  Hardware specifications:

  4 GB FB-DIMM DDR2 memory

  x 2 processor Intel Xeon, 2 carrots, 3.00 GHz

  There a RAID BIOS, so I had to create a Raid 0 virtual disk to install anything.

  Drive hard WD 1 TB, it's the one I use for the VD.

  When I choose which hard drive I use, I select the VD, I created, I select my keyboard language, then the configuration scan my material, then he asks me if if want to install, I pressed F11. Then, when it reached 5%, it throws an error: "partedUtil failed with the message: error: can not have a partition outside the disk!

  He says that it cannot install it on a virtual drive? My server is not compatible?

  Edit: There is another error that says: cannot read the partition table for device:

  /VMFS/devices/disks/NAA.60019b90bd8289001e62575a584731e0

  What is going on!!! Why vmware cannot have tutorials on "How to install Esxi on a server with RAID BIOS"?

  Check if the virtual HARD disk you packed is initialized. It seems that the installation is not written on this HARD drive. Back to the HARD Disk Manager (you probably PERC5 / I) to start the process I think is CTRL + R? find your virtual drive and launch. Take a look at the image as an attachment.

• 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 '.

• (Redirected) Card SCSI Dell poweredge 1951 backlane

  Hello world

  I installed and running a Dell poweredge 1950 that I use it to backup (tape) using Backup EXEC 2014. In the alley, he has an empty slot for a SCSI expansion card where a need can connect via a SCSI connection a different external tape drive. Due to the fact that the dell model is quite old, it is difficult to find a type of card.

  I found online something to my request: [View:www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2]

  but the problem is that it has two SCSI ports and it is too big to get it. I tried to find one with a single port, but I can't seem to find it. Have you also had this problem and if so where you bought the SCSI expansion? There is also the option to purchase a SCSI cable / USB, but I don't want to go with this solution. All advice what to do or where to buy expansion card I need.

  Thanks for the tips.

• U1 ESXi 4.1 install on Dell PowerEdge R210

  Have no success in installation of the ESXi 4.1 U1 on the Dell PowerEdge R210? I'm unable to install ESXi and maybe someone had some advice. The Dell server comes with a RAID1 and is under the list of VMWare HCL. There a S100 for the RAID controller. Dell recommends to break the RAID1 and install ESXi on the local drive (single). This server comes with a 500 GB drive (x 2).

  What will be the best option? I think to install the 4.1.U1 ESXi on a USB key, but had no experience this and I don't know how is it sustainable. I can count on and what size of USB do I need?

  Please advice what have you done or any recommendations on how to install the server host.

  Thank you.

  Collin

  I'd certainly install on a USB key. You will need a 1 GB or more large USB key. You can have an internal USB slot and I would like to check the documentation for your location. ESXi loads directly into RAM, and he has very little written on the disc. A copy of the small configuration happens once per hour.

  I don't think that your RAID controller can be used as RAID because I think it's a software RAID that is not supported under ESX (i). You will end up with two separate drives.
