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?

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.

  • 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

  • problems with the installation of vmware esxi 4.0 on pc

    Hello

    I have a pc I am building.

    the motherboard is ASUS P8P67 Deluxe.

    It includes 2 onboard network adapters:

    1 realtek network card.

    1 network adapter intel.

    When I try to install vmware os it shows me an error that:

    "no network compatible adapter found.please don't see hardware compatibility of the product (HCG) guide for a list of the taken addapters supported...".

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

    Ben.

    The easiest way is to get a compatible network card. The "Intel Pro/1000 GT' for example is known as work and is affordable (about $ 30).

  • Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

    I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Driver RAID for Vmware ESXi 5.1 on Dell R420.

    My project is to install Vmware ESXi 5.1 on a Dell R420 with Raid1 configuration. The question I have after configuring raid1 in raid utility is created using the, I launch the installation of Vmware ESXi 5.1. What is ESXi 5.1 sees not the raid1 partition but rather see two disks as are they worn can't in raid1 configurations.

    I need to have this in raid1 config, can any who share an idea about my problem please or point me in the right direction.

    I did some research but nothing seems to help resolve this issue.

    Thank you

    Sheriff.

    Sorry for my previous response:

    DELL-Daniel My - when I boot in the BIOS of the controller, I see the raid in a raid1 configuration.

    Mgr dev you are right, I did research more when you all answered. I see the PERC S110 pilot was a software raid controller and thus the vmware esxi wouldn't work in a raid configuration 1 (software raid).

    Thank you guys for you answer and who helped me

  • ISO customized for HP of VMware ESXi 4.0

    Hello

    I am building an infrastructure and I have a HP Proliant dl320g5p. What are the differences between an image of the iso standard and the iso costumized for HP? I can't find the differences.

    For more, when I'm building RAID1 installation of VMware ESXi see 2 discs... How can it be resolved?

    Another problem I have, is that sometimes the service Management Console stops

    Thank you.

    Hello

    See this post where you can learn some information about it.

    And as the OP commented you must correctly configure the raid1 disk controller's BIOS. Then the esxi should see a volume of disk raid1 logic.

    BTW, what disk controller you are using?

    Sometimes, if the drive controller is not really supported, just the physical disks are available for esxi, but not the volume raid1.

    I recommend you check the ESX(I) Compatibility Guide to ensure that your disk controller is supported.

    Hope this helps

    Best wishes / Saludos.

  • I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

    I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

    I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

    Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.

  • Installation of VMware ESX/ESXI 4.1 on HP Proliant DL360 G4

    Hello

    I think to buy an old HP Proliant DL360 G4 machine with 2 Xeon 3.6 GHz processors and 4 GB of RAM.  I intend to install VMware ESX or ESXI 4.1 on it.

    I read some reviews of VMware and other products of the hypervisor and all say that these 64-bit Xeons have no VT support option and therefore cannot run 64-bit Windows guest OS.

    Since I just use it as test environment learn more about Windows Server 2008.  I would like to know if I can install ESX 4.1 on the HP DL360 G4 and if so, can I install client Server 2008 32-bit Windows OS on top?

    Another machine, that I'm looking is the Dell Poweredge 2850, which has the same processor and roughly the same features as the DL360 G4.  So I want to know what a Xeon with no VT - x 64-bit is limitation of technology with regard to the installation of the virtual machines based on Windows on it.

    Thanks for any help.

    The Xeon 3.6 have VT - X, so you will not be able to run 64-bit OS comments, as you found it- http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=28019.  You would be OK for customers 32 bits, but you would be prevented from running Windows 2008 R2, because it is 64-bit only.   At this point, I wouldn't bother with a test server that cannot run 64-bit guests.  If you want to stick with a server-class machine I keep watch or watch a white box - vm - Help.com - see the list of the white box.

  • VMware ESXi serving SMB to a windows network?

    I have a friend who has a small business. It has about a half dozen windows on desktop machines. On the backend, it has a pretty Beefy Server (AMD Phenom X 3, 8 GB of RAM, RAID 3 to matrix). He runs VMware Server 2.0 on a box of CentOS 5.x, and he has two XP VMs on this box. It also has a very large partition on this machine, which he is serving as the several stock through Samba for desktop computers.

    Unfortunately, VMware Server got a little, uh, flaky with current versions of Linux. I had problems with it on a Debian installation and there has been a power outage a couple of weeks, and the server would not be back for two or three days. Then he called me.

    Now I would like to convert him on VMware ESXi (3.5 or 4.0, since the machine is 64-bit), but remains the problem of the samba shares. Is it possible for esxi for a second or subsequent data store and serve as actions for windows machines? I had thought to build an another VM to serve these files, but that is not good. Looks like another layer of obfuscation, it is a bit nervous about trusting to its archives (some date back to 1992) of VMware with the experience he had with the server. Does anyone know of another (better?) way?

    Thank you

    On ESX and ESXi, it is not the part of 'server' of file server protocols.

    And as noted before, the best choice is to create a virtual machine that act as a file server.
