M72KR-Q and vSphere

Hi all

If someone managed to install VMware vSphere 4.1 on a slide with mezzanine M72KR-Q? I already discovered custom drivers, ESX is really needed, not ESXi.

According to VMware HCL it is supported.

I tried the two set of drivers:

VMware-ESX-drivers-SCSI-qla2xxx_400.841.K1.16.2-1vmw.2.17.00000.340223.ISO

VMware-ESX-drivers-SCSI-qla2xxx_400.832.K1.27.1-1vmw.2.17.00000.291979.ISO

None of them works & installing ESX 4.1 generates this error:

"no network adapters were dedected."

Am I missing something, or it simply does not work?

Kind regards
Radek

Hi Radek,

I have already set up in my lab. I have been using the following:

-QLogic gen 2 (M72KR-Q)
-ESX 4.1
-UCS Firmware 1.4 (1 d)
-The latest drivers for VMware

The VMware driver package that I used:

-VMware ESX/ESXi 4.x for QLogic 8100 Series driver CD converges ECS - 1.0.0.43 - 03/01/2011
-> vmware-esx-drivers-net-qlge_400.1.0.0.43-1OEM.338044.iso
-> http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/esx_esxi4x_qlogic_qle8152_schultz/ZCV0YnRlQGRiZHdldA==

See if that helps your situation.

Thank you
Michael

  • Move cluster configured with replication SRM and Vsphere

    All,

    We go 2 groups in the near future to achieve a geographical distance between the 2 sites.

    A cluster is equipped with VMware 5.0 replication SRM and vSphere and the other cluster running VMware 5.5 and SRM in combination with replication of vSphere.

    What is the best way to move these clusters, I must stop the replication or interrupt the replication process and are these action to perform on SRM or we need to perform any action on the virtual machine itself?

    I read that a stop is setting the State to not configured including destroy all files in the target directory.

    Does anyone have an experience by physically moving a cluster managed by SRM (and replication of vSphere)

    Any help is welcome

    Thank you

  • Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor

    Hi guys,.

    I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.

    Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?

    Help will be very useful.

    Thank you very much

    vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.

    In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"?  No, not really.  One is a part of the whole.

  • Differences - license in VC 2.5 and vsphere

    Hi friends,

    Please help to understand the differences between licensing in VC 2.5 and vSphere

    -VC 2.5 needs a license server, where as there are keys on vSphere licenses in vSphere

    Are all the other differences there? Help, please

    With the change of license keys to license server, you are now able to easily run different editions of ESX (i) in your data center. Licenses can be assigned to each host separately.

    It is also no longer necessary for licenses based on the temporary host if your server licenses (Virtual Center) has declined and was not available for 14 days (period of grace).

  • vCentre with ESX 3.5 and vSphere 4U1 lic.

    Hello

    I would like some advice on vCentre4 with ESX3.5 and vSphere 4U1. We currently have 4 ESX3.5 Ent. servers (16CPU lic.) and v2.5U1 vCentre UAT environment, we are trying to replace the migration to vSphere 4U1.

    Unfortunately last weekend our vCentre 2.5U1 server crashed without possible repair, and since we are in the process of upgrading would rebuild Win2k8 and SQL2k5 servr to vCentre 4U1 th at the same time, we are going to change servers ESX3.5 to ESXi 4 (free version) and install 4U1 vSphere 4 new production servers.

    Our plan is to first upgrade to vSphere 4U1 2 servers, then followed by the other 2 servers a few months later. There are a few things that I need help to clarify:

    1. after reinstallation of vCentre4 licensing to vCentre 4 supports a mixture of ESX3.5 Ent and vSphere.

    2. If I detach my the vCentre ESX3.5 servers and also to remove the lic. of the ESX 3.5 How many days the ESX can run before the ICA. expires - is it being treated as a version of evaluation and the ICA. lasts for 60 days.

    3 or if not can I keep my ESX3.5 connected with the vCentre but remove the lic. for the 2 vCentre ESX and how the days can work before the ICA. expires and that our servers cannot connect to the vCentre.

    4. I've heard - we have not installed vCentre4 but the software/module license on vCentre4 (vSphere) is different from what the 2.5 vCentre (ESX3.5) how can keep my lic. on the operation of ESX can I just install the vCentre 2.5 lic. more module on the server of vCentre for lic. vSphere and ESX3.5

    Thank you very much...

    See you soon...

    Thanks for the tips up to what it means if I set up my server with 2 vCentre * vSphere 4U1 server and 2 * ESX3.5 Server;

    -the vCentre will allow the vSphere 4U1with lic. key

    I'm not sure that understand the issues above.  You need vCenter4 to manage the host ESX (i).  vCenter4 can manage VI3 hosts, but vCenter2.5 can't handle ESX(I) 4 guests.

    -J' I need to install the 2.5U1 software/module license vCentre 2 * ESX3.5

    You can install stand-alone if you wish. http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/esx_35_licenseserver_dt/dGViZGVoKmIqZA==

    in order to ensure environments run correctly (without expiring) and they can both connect to vCentre Server?

    No, a crowd can be handled by one instance of vCenter.

  • Cluster VI3 and vSphere Cluster (migrate virtual machines)

    I have a VI3 and vSphere cluster.  Could I just drag-and - drop my virtual machines to the new Cluster or do I have to upgrade the virtual machines ' hardware of the v4 to v7?

    Thanks in advance

    1. you don't have to upgrade the virtual machine hardware, it is optional.

    2. you do not have to create new cluster, simply upgrade existing by-host. Virtual machines with hardware v4 can be VMotion'ed between 3.5 and 4.0 hosts

  • How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?

    Hello everyone.

    Can someone help me with registration

    of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I

    certainly do not understand.

    My goal is to install and use ESXi

    4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for

    more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?

    Installation of its products

    gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few

    suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,

    I will be grateful.

    I'll write what I did:

    1. I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.

    2. I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.

    3. Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
      the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exe

    4. Installation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.

    5. I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.

    6. Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".

    7. I have
      Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
      the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
      find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
      "for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
      for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?

    8. I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
      I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
      Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
      Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?

    As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?

    To register the serial number in your ESX4i host

    Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)

    Tab Configuration

    Left side - features licensed

    Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key

    Paste your key

    Confirm all

    Your ESXi server is now fully licensed

    Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

    How we installed vCenter and vSphere?

    I was told that I can simply update my esx 3.5 to 4 via vCenter server.

  • Equallogic and VSphere VVOL 6

    I've been hitting my head against the wall trying to get VVOL established in my test environment. The configuration is as follows, 3 guests, two with HBA iSCSI broadcoms and a software iSCSI adapter. The SAN is a mixed group, a Dell 6100 w SSD and a 4100 rotating disc. I have the Dell VSM loaded and configured, I built a container of storage on the EQL and I can configure the access rules for the hosts. I also added the EQL as a provider of VASA.

    6.0, 6.0, EQL 8.0.4, VSM 4.5.1.700 vCenter vSphere hosts

    For clarity, we will call the HBA1 and HBA2 and SOFT1 hosts

    Protocol endpoints appear in storage on all three hosts, but the only machine that can see the EP and access them is SOFT1 host. Its also the only one able to mount the VVOL. If I ride via SOFT1 and choose "mount this store of data on additional hosts" the process terminates without error, but on HBA1 and HBA2. the VVOL is accessible.

    It is one of the two hosts HBA (HBA2):

    As this seems to be related to two HBAs that I suggest to check that your HBA firmware version has support for secondary LUN ID as required for storage of blocks back VVols.

    To do this, go to the page-> VMware Compatibility Guide: search for i/o device

    In the guise of the selection criteria to ensure that you select "secondary MONDAY (active VVols).

    Click on the button "update and display the results.

    The results will be the devices list to i/o that are certified and support the secondary ID of the LUN. Once you have found (hopefully) your model, click the model name to see details. From the details page, you will see a lot of firmware versions in the last column, there will be an entry for additional functionality, you can expand it against a firmware version to determine whether or not a specific version supports secondary LUN ID.

  • On the replication SRM 5.5 and vsphere

    Hi guys,.

    using Mrs. 5.5 and replication of vsphere can I do a first replica of virtual machine with a manual copy or clone on the remote site and after synchronization with replication or srm vsphere virtual machine?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I assume that when the source of the VM is turned on, the disks (-flat.vmdk files) are locked and that's the reason to download drives while the virtual machine is turned off.

    The virtual machine can be powered on once the disc has been downloaded/copied.

    An alternative approach, if you have enough free space on the source website - you can clone the virtual machine, without any power off and download the clone disks.

    The clone operation may change the value of ddb.uuid in hard files. Make sure that it matches the value in the hard of source files and if not, change it manually. Another configuration of replication will fail if this value does not match.

    Kind regards

  • VSphere hypervisor and Vsphere connecting the same machine

    Hi guys,.

    I have a basic question that drunk that I can't seem to find an answer.

    I'll put up a test of domestic/vmware server environment, but I only have one computer. I want to install ESXi on this computer, and then run VSphere via localhost to manage computers from the VM on the same host. So far, I've always set up ESXi on a host machine and then managed remotely, with my laptop. But I don't have the option here. Is there something in ESXi that allows this configuration?

    Thank you

    Gareth

    You can certainly run a Windows VM on the ESXi host, but you will still need another system to access. ESXi itself does not provide a graphical interface, and I'm not aware of any 3rd third-party tool that adds this feature either.
