Installation of Windows 2008 R2 on ESXi 5.0

Hi all

I worked with ESXi 4 & 5 running Windows 2003 OS invited without problems.  Just tried to install Windows 2008 R2 x 64 and face an interesting difference.  When installing windows 2003 I have to specify the details of the Virtual Machine, specifically the amount of disk space I want to be available to host everything.  Then start the virtual machine, newly created from the windows installation disk appropriate.  I then get prompt with the "blue" screen allowing me to partition the space according to the BONE and once installation is complete I can then go through the operating system and partition and format the remaining space, as I hear it.  Doing so to a Windows 2008 R2 x 64 installation disk and I don't you this possibility so the BONE ends by using all the space allocated to the host of comments.

I guess I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but have not been able to track down any relevant information to this day.

Yes, you really lack the partitioning part.

This is after selecting custom selection (advanced option) > select the drive you want to install windows > click drive options and partition your drive.

Best regards, Harold

  • T420: H310 PERC Setup driver during the installation of Windows 2008 R2 SP1

    Hello

    I try to install the SP1 of Windows 2008 R1 on T420. However, it does not detect the disk and asks me to load the Setup disk.

    Now, I downloaded the driver from: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=1HHG8&fileId=3389750350&osCode=WS8R2&productCode=poweredge-t420&languageCode=EN&categoryId=SF

    Put it on a key USB and then the wizard to detect the USB but then he said: 'no signed device drivers were found.

    Reading carefully above the driver download page, they mentioned the installation instructions, it is shown how to load the driver during installation.

    HOWEVER, the real problem lies here. These instructions are for a '. '. ZIP format"driver. Considering that, they provide only ".". EXE format"from the driver to download.

    So, regardless of teaching the highest page download driver to load the driver during the installation does not work.

    And I could not find where to download the '. '. ZIP format' driver.

    Could you help me please. What I'm missing here?

    Thank you.

    You must use this driver:
    http://ftp.Dell.com/FOLDER01460337M/9/SAS-RAID_Driver_R2_4R5XT_A03_6.801.5.0_ZPE.exe

    Run it to extract the content, then put the content on a USB flash drive to use during the installation.

  • Backup Windows 2008 - VHD to ESXi

    from the backup of windows 2008 I created a VHD file, how can I import it in Vmware ESXi 3.5?

    I tried to convert the machine with the converter to warm, but 95% still does not go.

    The converter does not support the VHD file.

    Thank you too much.

    Convert with this program.  Open disk image (.vhd) and use it to convert (hard).  Then use WinSCP to transfer the files to the ESXi data store, create a NEW virtual machine and point to this vmdk file.

  • OBIEE11g Installation with Windows 2008

    Hey,.

    I intend to OBIEE 11.1.1.5-* 64 * in a server with this configuration:

    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
    Installed memory RAM: 24 GB
    System type: 64-bit operating system
    Java: jdk 1.7.0
    DB: Sql 2005


    I read it is possible to install the OBI 11 g with this configuration, but also it has not confirmed Administration BI tools in 64-bit, can someone confirm that please? If this is the case, what is the procedure suggested to install everything 64-bit, with the exception of Directors BI tools? Also, which type of installation I'll take? I read all the Simple options, Standard and configuration. Thank you much for the help.

    Kind regards

    RG,

    Your specifications for WIndows 2008 64 bit good machine look. I would double check the JDK and stick to the version of JDK 1.6 to stay in compliance. You should always check each component of your server complies with the matrix of product certification of the Oracle that you want to install.

    Regarding the Oracle BI 11 g Admin tool running on a windows 64-bit machine, it is possible. The only thing you have to watch out is that when you create a connection ODBC system DSNS on a server Oracle BI remote that you use the correct driver like Win 2008 64 bit allows a distinction and a console that is different to handle 32-bit drivers / 64-bit.

    I am trying to install Windows 2008 x 64 R2 as virtual machine on VMware on an ASUS Wndows7 teacher a new computer workstation7 laptop with i3 proc. I use an ISO image downloaded from Microsoft downloads.

    I get an error as follows:

    When I try to search for the driver on flopp or cd/dvd, it is unable to find it.

    Could you please help me with this one.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    This error is most likely due to a corrupted ISO download.  Try to download it again and see if that corrects the problem.

    Hello Stevens,

    Thanks for the reply. I installed the client 11g r2 64 bit and I tried this too much C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

    As I said, the (sysWOW64) is for the 32 bit.  You say now that you have installed 64 - bit, so that it does not apply

    but he has not found drivers. I have not found any odbc folder in the oracle client home. Could you please suggest what to do next.

    Now, we know that you have installed the 11.2 customer.  As I say, the ODBC drivers are NOT installed by default on this version.

    And if you do as I said in my last post:

    a default installation, then go back and do a "custom" installation, by specifying the same ORACLE_HOME as before and by selecting the ODBC components.
