  Home premium Windows Vista, 64-bit operating system

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ____________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• Workstation 9 - broken PXE boot - works with 8 workstations

  VMware Workstation 9 newly released, the PXE boot is broken. It works on the same machine with VMware Workstation 8.

  
  Virtual machine specifications:

  -Windows 7 and Windows 7 x 64

  -Bridged networking

  -2 1 processor cores

  I tried on different hardware, without Windows Firewall, but the PXE boot is broken when you use Workstation 9. Any thoughts as to why her behave this way?

  We are trying to perform a PXE boot and it gets everything stuck by sending requests for the services of pre-launch on the remote server, however, it seems that the return packets are not received. On 8 workstations, these are received and PXE boot works correctly.

  There is no AV installed in the host operating system.

  Wow, okay, just confirmed this seems to be a MAJOR bug in the work station 9, concerning ONLY to run 2 hearts or 2 CPUs. I tested with my cell phone would support all configurations (this is a quad core with hyperthreading). This applies in my case to Novell Zenworks Imaging, but can affect more.

  Results

  Config	PXE
  1 processor, 1 core	Success
  1 CPU, Core 2	In case of failure
  1 CPU Core 3	Success
  1 CPU, Core 4	Success
  1 CPU, Core 6	Success
  1 CPU, Core 8	Success
  2 CPU, 1 core	In case of failure
  2 CPU, Core 2	Success
  2 CPU, Core 3	Success
  2 CPU, Core 4	Success
  4 CPU, 1 core	Success
  4 CPU, Core 2	Success
  8 CPU, 1 core	Success

  Now here it gets crazy. My issue seems to be with the v11.2.0.0 of the Agent Novell PXE (Preboot Execution). It says "Sending queries to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" then he received never actually do anything to continue the boot process, but ANY other config except 2 CPU or 2 cores CPU works fine.

• the strength of VM to perform a pxe boot?

  Is it possible to use the VI Toolkit for windows to force a virtual computer to the pxe boot at the start of the first (or next)?  If it was as simple as changing the boot sequence that would be ok.

  Thank you

  In my view, using the option bios.bootDeviceClasses in the .vmx file is a little easier.

  See also specify bootable for a virtual machine devices.

  You can run this script:

  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.extraConfig += New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
  $spec.extraConfig[0].key = "bios.bootDeviceClasses"
  $spec.extraConfig[0].value = "allow:net"
  
  (get-view (Get-VM -Name "TestPC").ID).ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
  

  It will not accept a boot from the network adapter, in other words a PXE boot.

  Subsequently, you reset devices to boot with a similar script.

  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.extraConfig += New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
  $spec.extraConfig[0].key = "bios.bootDeviceClasses"
  $spec.extraConfig[0].value = "allow:hd,cd,fd"
  
  (get-view (Get-VM -Name "TestPC").ID).ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
  

  Note1: abbreviations for the bios.bootDeviceClasses parameter are:

  • FD floopy drive

  • hard drive HD

  • CD cdrom drive

  • net network adapter

  Note 2: this option does not change the boot order, it only changes the list of devices that the VM is allowed to boot from.

• 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

  See http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/vic_driver...

• After installing ESXi 5.1 computer does not boot any device

  Hello VMware Experts,

  This certainly isn't my are of expertise as I work most of the time on the bet network but in any case here is my problem area, and I hope that some of you can help me with this.

  So I bought a PC on Ebay hoping that I could define as an ESXi Server (here's the link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gateway-Intel-i5-3330-3GHz-8GB-1TB-Windows-8-Desktop-PC-DX4870-UB318-/321165075173?pt=Desktop_PCs & hash = item4ac6ee22e5 )

  )

  So I downloaded ESXi 5.1 and begun to installed

  First surprise, I had (it did not recognize my network card, I went to amazon and bought an Intel PCI Express NIC to get there)

  After 2 weeks, I received it today.

  Finally, I put the PCI network card in the motherboard and begin the installation.

  Everything seems to be perfect, great when I had until I completed the installation... I smile and then saw the message Installation successful, remove the CD from the CD room and restart the server.

  Right Awesooome! But then the problem occurred.

  After that the unit is back from the restart process he did not recognize any boot image installed on the drive hard (hard disk already set from the BIOS as a startup option)

  An error message like:

  does not recognize the bootable media

  I tried re installation, overwriting without success. (Same behavior)

  I know it's a very simple process, but what might happen here,

  Any ideas?

  Kind regards

  Jcarvaja

  I have no idea why you install esxi on a metal bere machine but I assume you want for a lab at home.

  Well from my experience, when I started to learn Vsphere 5.1 - I was installing windows 7 on a desktop computer - then bought Vmware Workstation - I installed 5 ESXI host on it and tested all the features (HA, DRS, FT, VMotion etc.).

  I have a HDD i5 Desktop 2 t and 32 GB of Ram - but you could look for at least 8 GB of Ram it works perfectly.

  Let me know if you need help setting up Esxi in workstation...

• Can you install Windows XP Professional utility: Setup for floppy diskettes Boot Install on a flash drive?

  Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

  Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

  In addition to the above answer, even if your computer supports booting from a usb key, based on my experience, it is easier to use a cd rom. usb Flash drives can be very difficult to use to install windows. I did a couple of times but not without problems. If the computer you are using is able to boot at all, and you do not have a cd rom USB that you can try to install windows over the network.  Install windows from a flash drive is a long process. $30USD for a usb CD-ROM.

  See the article on the link below if you need to install a flash drive.

• 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.

• Undetected after the fresh install ESXi virtual machines

  Hello

  I have to say I really enjoyed working with ESXi, but I run a quick question for the moment.

  I initially installed ESXi 5 on an SD card and created several virtual machines via vSphere Client Windows. Because of the card SD comes off on the reboot (using a Dell R610), I have now decided to install ESXi 5 on a USB key. However, when I open the Windows of vSphere client, I do not see the virtual machines on the host, but I see that they are always present in the VMFS data store that I created earlier. When I boot from the SD card, they appear very well.

  I have to migrate somehow?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  As this is a new installation of ESXi you can save the VMs from the data store as the inventory.xml on the new facility can be empty.

  Measures to save the virtual machine using vmx are available on Ko http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006160

• My concerns about installing ESXi on a USB Flash Disk

  Hello!

  There was a lot of messages about installing esxi hypervisor on a usb flash drive, what I've done and I think it's ok because there's no need to waste expensive disks for installation of a very light bone

  But I have a few questions and concerns in this regard. appreciate your answers.

  1 - first of all I can't find my DL380 G7 Server internal usb. can someone give me a link or a picture where he is exactly?

  2 - Suppose that after boot completely the host, something happens on the usb drive. If nothing happens? I think there should be nothing to worry about, because the hypervisor has been loaded into the memory of the server. Am I wrong?

  3 - my concern is to have backup and the ability to restore that very quickly. some time in the past I had a single esxi host. I used powercli and commands appropriate for configuration backup host (I think that the command was something like esx-cfgbackup or like that).

  so if the flash has been corrupted, I would replace it with another and restored the settings that

  but now I host 4 esxi and vcenter. should I worry about this? How should I have backup? I know that SQL backup database of vcenter and its certificate is sufficient to have a backup of the settings of vcenter but on those who are just to vcenter and which are on the host? just want to say, what should I do to be able to replace a faulty usb disk (esxi is on it) with a new and all get back to work as it was?

  Sorry if the questions are easy to answer. I'm just a beginner

  and sorry for my bad English

  Assuming that I don't have the license for the host profiles, what should I do?

  It depends on the complexity of the configuration of the host. You can back up the configuration of the individual hosts or just reconfigure reinstalled once. In a larger environment, you'd probably for example the hosts scripted installation.

  Because the server vCenter Server usually runs as a virtual machine, it is a good idea to do an image based backup (using backup vDR or 3 rd-party applications), and - in the case where you use a dedicated SQL Server - certainly back up the database. For the backup and restoration of vCenter Server, you can also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1023985.

  In the rare cases where an SD card fails, you can always vMotion virtual machines to another host and then reinstall the host with a new SD card.

• Satellite Pro NB10 forced bug BIOS to PXE boot

  Hello

  I have the following problem with my NB10. (Bios 1.70)

  No matter how to set the boot order in the BIOS it will always try first the PXE boot. As long as no cable-net is attached it's a minor problem as it jumps quickly PXE boot screen, but as soon as I plug a cable-net, it will get stuck to the PXE boot screen, until I press ESC. The only way to get rid of PXE boot is to disable the LAN entirely, which is not really a solution.

  Bug: Not should always try before other options to boot from PXE boot with a higher priority.

  Missing feature: should be possible to disable the PXE without disabling the LAN entirely. PXE boot can be a potential security risk, so it would be nice to turn it off when it is not necessary.

  I filmed this issue and put it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZsOc2ny3VQ

  I replaced the HARD original with an SSD drive and installed Fedora 22 rather than Windows 8.1 - I don't know if any of these actions is the cause of tripping for this bug.

  I replaced the HARD original with an SSD drive and installed Fedora 22 rather than Windows 8.1 - I don't know if any of these actions is the cause of tripping for this bug.

  Of course, the BIOS does not recognize the boot (Linux) on the SSD drive partition and so the BIOS will automatically switch to the next (in the case of LAN) start device.

  I wonder if the same question would appear using the real HARD disk and the image of Toshiba winning 8.1 pre-installed.
  Can perform some tests?

• Satellite A25-S207: how to force the PXE boot?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A25-S207 and a big problem!

  I want to start my laptop using PXE to install Suse Linux. I already did 3 months ago. It worked perfectly, but at that time, I did start command configuration using the utility on Windows. I had to install Linux PXE, because my CD drive does not work.

  Now, to complete my tragic situation, my HD failure! As long as my CD-ROM does not work, the only way I can at least try to bring my data partition is trying to reformat the system partition, install Suse and copy the data in my office. At least until I can buy another CD-ROM unit.

  But how do I set the BIOS to boot from PXE without the utility of Windows? I know that by pressing the C key while booting, the CD-ROM startup is enabled, but does anyone know a similar option to choose the PXE boot?

  I appreciate really have no idea!

  Thank you!!

  Best regards!

  Now I have I already did once, since my CD-ROM combo is 'dead '.

  If you press N immediately after laptop starting so the unit should be able to boot from the local network.
  Also in the Toshiba HWSetup under tab BootPriority PXE network boot protocol must be selected.

• T610: Light customer T610 remains stuck in the PXE boot

  I'm currently converting our customers light windows t610 meter above the zero smart software. I had zero problems with windows pe, but on the test batch of 30 thin clients that I installed and configured for smartzero, I'm having a problem. Whenever they are restarted, sometimes they will come upward to the PXE boot instead of booting from the hard disk and the only way to get them to boo back to the hard drive is physically draw power. Anyone has any ideas on this?

  Don't know how you have configured the server, SCCM, but as far as I know, it might be possible to program the network boot as the only method of priming via SCCM.
