Installation of VMWare 6 on IBM Blade Server

Hi all...

I have an IBM Blade Server H with 5 blades.  4 blades run ESXi 5.5.  We have recently added a 5th blade and you want to install ESXi 6 thereon.  I have ISO for VMWare.  I connect to the blade center management, choose remote control and I connect to the blade in question using the console.  The tray for media and KVM options are defined on this blade.  I have put and mounted the drive remotely to the vmware image.

Now what?  When I restart the blade all BIOS information survey, and then I get a screen that allows me to install and configure the blade.  One of the options is the boot device.  That's where I'm stumped.  Which device in the boot list is the image mounted in the tray?  I get a ton of startup options; CD/DVD, HDD 1-4, USB, PXE... no matter what option choose does not start.  How to start from the mounted image to install VMware?  Or do I have this all wrong?

Thank you!

Hello

If I remember correctly, then you must connect to your blade chassis and start the remote console

has chosen your blade and set drawer KVM and media so that the blade as the owner. Mount your Iso file, and then you should be able to boot from the CD/DVD as a startup option. (no USB DVD!)

always worked for me, but you need to set the KVM drawer and the media as the owner of the remote console

Also make sure you have a java that works.  Sometimes I need to downgrade the version of java to run it

also didn't work well wit some browsers. That is to say can give some problem so I use firefox a lot for IBM or chrome

Good luck

  • VMware ESXi on Hs23 IBM Blade Server

    Hi all

    IM facing some problems installing ESXi on my servers blade of HS23E, it gets stuck in the middle of the installation, for the most part on TG3 modules, is there anyway I can get this settled, is there a tool like ServerGuide for installations of VMware?

    Yes, it's just a standard ESXi image with some extensions of the IBM hardware management and driver updates preinstalled. Many other providers of material such as HP and dell offer these images. Since the side VMware it makes no difference if you have installed your guests with these images or image of vanilla from VMware.

  • Installation of VMware ESXI 6 in my server

    Hi all

    I have a server that I have configured with raid 1 using the disk on the Server utility.

    When I try to install VMWare ESXI on the server, in the part of the selection of the disk to install the ESXY appears only the physical disks and not the virtual drives configured in table mode. What should I do?

    Concerning

    Milton Aguiar

    You are probably using some (aka 'false') 'software' edge RAID controller. These controllers require additional driver software to work. However, VMware supports only the real hardware RAID controllers, which are transparently logical volumes to the OS. Unless your hardware provider offering dedicated to ESXi drivers (HP as much I know as fact for some of theit controllers of Type B) you may not use the RAID on board.

  • Between R2 2012 Windows and IBM Http Server SSL connection failed periodically.

    Hi, I have a problem recently. I found that my windows server 2012 R2 has sometimes failed to connect with IBM Http Server ssl. Here it is the information of the two servers:

    1 windows 2012 R2

    -Already activate TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.0

    -Already the latest version of windows update and restart

    IIS - 8.5

    2 IBM Http Server

    -Apache 2.2.31

    -using OpenSSL 1.0.2f

    -Allow TLS1.2 and TLS 1.0

    I also captured network traffic when the two server. If the ssl connection has managed to create. Traffic will be like the following screen:

    If the ssl connection was impossible to create, network traffic was like the below:

    You will see that the ssl connection failed when the version of the TLS protocol was passed to TLSv1. And returned access denied.  The details of the access denied was like the below:

    As the captured screen reproduced above, you will see that the SSL for Client Hello was TLSv1.2 but running on the recording layer TLSv1. this Hello customer was sent by the server r2 windows 2012. I don't know why the ssl connection has been passed to TLSv1 suddenly.

    I found that Microsoft has released an update on January 12, 2016. This fix is the resumption of SSL. Update ID was 3109853 , but I have already applied this update on my server. I tried to do the with the other type of server ssl connection, the ssl connection is possible in a stable condition and has happened the problem I mentioned. Is there someone met this case and resolve it finally?

  • Can I use IBM HTTP Server as Proxy for WebCenter content?

    When I worked in development, I used Apache 2.2 as a Proxy for WebCenter content.

    I would use the WebLogic Server plugin 'mod_wl_22.so' in Apache to redirect the request of WebLogic.

    In Production, I need to use IBM HTTP Server (IHS) as a proxy.

    I couldn't find any plugin WLS for IBM HTTP Server.

    When I looked at the note of support Doc-ID 1111903.1 , it does not included of IHS in the list.

    This means that IHS is not supported as a proxy for WebCener content?

    If not, can someone tell me where I could download the plugin, please?

    I tried to use the same configurations for Apache 2.2 to the IHS.

    Startup is fine, which means that IHS could load the module 'mod_wl_22.so '.

    But I got error 403 for the connection.

    I couldn't see any access connected the WLS, so I guess that the connection failed introduce to the IHS.

    Any suggestion, please?

    If you want to use for the work of pure http proxy that I don't see why it wouldn't work. However, I didn't a study on this specific topic. However, you may need to do more things manually in the configuration box, and it cannot be officially supported. The unsupported part is often a point where I suggest you use another product that is supported.

    Kind regards

  • installation of vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 10 error

    After you install vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 10 it gets error and restart. Is vmware workstation 6.5 support windows 10? FAILED TO INSTALL. vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 8, 8.1 and 10 support. ALL SUPPORT. I still don't understand...

    VMware Workstation 6.x do not support Windows 10 and will never support Windows 10.

    VMware Workstation 6.x reached "end of support" four years, October 1, 2011: Matrix.pdf product lifecycle

    We produce updates for release until its date of "end of support".  A product may not work properly with host OSes, processors or comments OSes that are not compatible with the product, especially the things that have been published after the date of "end of support".  We put a huge amount of effort to ensure that new hardware and operating systems works with each new major release of VMware Workstation, but we cannot go back and update any previous version of product to add support for all hardware and operating systems more recent.  If we tried to do this, VMware Workstation cost much more that it is today, simply because of the amount of work required to maintain!

    You need to upgrade your installation of VMware Workstation to something more recent, or downgrade your host operating system to a version compatible with VMware Workstation 6.5.

    I hope this helps!

  • Selection of the method of Installation of VMWare Fusion 7

    So I take an edx online course: Introduction to computer CS50x. I am following the installation of VMware Fusion instructions found at the following link: https://manual.cs50.net/appliance/2014/fusion/

    I followed the instructions in step #4: I double click the icon of VMware Fusion. I clicked on 'Open' when prompted. I typed my administrative password. I accepted the license agreement. I inserted the license key. I am now in the window "select the installation method. But herein is the problem. I do not know what installation method to choose, and there are no instructions on it. My options are: (1) import of disk or image; (2) import existing PC; (3) install OS X from the recovery partition; (4) import a virtual machine existing; (5) installation of Boot Camp. and (6) create a custom virtual machine.  There are no instructions or advice to navigate through these options.

    Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    From what you have posted, it seems to me that the merger has been successfully installed. The dialog box "Select installation method" you see is Fusion trying to be helpful and you guide in the creation of your first virtual machine.

    At this stage of VMware Fusion and eject the mounted disk installation image (so that you do not open the installation program when you must open the copy installed on your disk). Continue to step 5 to download your virtual appliance of the format .ova.

  • Installation of VMware in VMware Player tools

    Hello

    I installed VMware Player v7, created a virtual machine (Windows) and wanted to install the VMware Tools via Player > manage > install VMware Tools... but nothing happens when I click on this option. The following 2 other methods I found in a Ko do not work either:

    • Enter D:\setup.exe where D: is the first CD-ROM drive configured for your virtual computer = > NOK as the virtual drive does not show the VMware tools.
    • Looking for the ISO file in the installation folder = > NOK: there is no ISO file.

    After searching on the forum, I realized that VMware Player doesn't come with VMware tools and workaround I used was to install VMware Workstation without a license on another computer, find the file "windows.iso", copy it to the computer, mount it as a virtual drive and start the client installation.

    The thing I don't understand is the reason for which the option is available in the VMware Player menu if the VMware tools are not? It's very confusing for people new to VMware and only install VMware Player...

    You need not download VMware workstation to get VMware Tools in VMware Player!  VMware Player 7 is working fine on my system and had no problem downloading VMware tools, so maybe it's a problem specific to your environment/system that may block recovery.
