More old PowerEdge 2850 & ESXi?

• Dell Poweredge 2850 and ESXi 4.1

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 12 GB of RAM and two CPUs, hyperthreading with 350 GB of disk space.

  This box was initially installed with Redhat Linux ES 5.4 64-bit and OS 64 bit CentOS 5.5 with no problems, so I know the processor supports 64-bit.

  I then installed VMWare ESXi version 4.1 on the Dell Poweredge 2850 with no problems.

  Then, I created a few instances VM I want to install CentOS 5.5 64 bit.  During the installation of a VMware instance, I get this:

  msg.cpuid.notLongmodeQuestionFmt:This veritual is configured for 64-bit operating systems.
  However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152
  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Now the question I have is this: given that VMWare is problems with 64-bit OSes comments, how is it that I can install CentOS 5.5 64 bit on this Dell PowerEdge 2850 with no problems.  It seems obvious to me that the PowerEdge 2850 works well with the 64 bit OS but not ESXi 4.1.

  How can I get around this?

  Comments?  Thanks in advance.

  The dell series 8 (1850/2850) have no vt support, so not support 64-bit virtual machine, except 6850.

  The output of the processor shows the same thing, or rather, what he shows no vt in its ability.  It shows lm, long mode, so you can run 64-bit, that you are running ESX, but to succeed in this 64-bit support, you need the lm, you and vt, which you don't have.

• Dell PowerEdge 2850 does not start on a CD of ESXi 3.5

  Hello...

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850, who does not start on a CD of VMware ESXi 3.5.  The server works very well with Windows 2000 server.  My first thought to solve this problem was the BIOS.  This is all what I've updated in what concerns the firmware on the box today.

  BIOS - A07

  Perc4e/Di - 5B2D, A19

  BMC Firmware - 1.83, A10

  Here are the latest versions of firmware available from Dell on this box.  The machine starts to start the machine.  But all I see is the first line of text of the CD which is the following:

  ISOLinux 3.63 2008-04-10 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 h. Peter Anvin

  My next thought was that there was something wrong with the ISO image that I downloaded.  I tested it on another machine; has worked like a champ.  Now, I read on a few different posts within the VMware communities that some people have had luck with this question and others did not.

  The inventory number of Dell on the machine is 6HDGS81

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Some of the Dell CD-ROM may be little flighty. I had hard time to install a CD earlier which worked perfectly well on another machine. I made another copy of the disc, this time burning the CD at a 4 x speed. The installation went perfectly fine afterwards.

• PowerEdge 2850 - Perc 4e/Di - status of the RAID-1 array

  I'm trying to give a sense of the info in OMSA 2.1.0 for a RAID 1 virtual disk on a server Poweredge 2850 + Perc 4e/Di.   Array disk 0:0 died at an unknown point in the past.  Info OMSA before replacing the drive:

  

  

  We have added another 0:0 drive, he rebuilt successfully automatically and this is the current info:

  

  

  

  So the State of the virtual disk RAID-1 is is more "degraded" and yet it is still showing only 0:1 Hitachi disk array and not the new 0:0 Seagate.  How this should be interpreted?  We also have another virtual disk raid 10 on this same server with discs model even who had also a drive down and replace this trained player the new Seagate drive not appearing in the table of Raid-10 list as expected.  the difference was that the Raid array-10, the original disk was displayed in OMSA as 'impossible', while on RAID-1 above, no other player has been listed.

  It should show the other disk.  A few things to try:

  • Refresh the screen VD
  • Closing/re-open OMSA
  • Stop/re-start services OMSA (DSM)
  • Clear the ESM/Hardware log in OMSA
  • Restart the server
  • Updating system firmware (BIOS, ESM, PERC (first pilot), HARD drive)

  All the foregoing may work, but it's probably caused by obsolete OMSA and/or firmware/drivers.

  You just set up the new TC and plug the old TC... copy the sparsebundle existing old TC to the new... but we do not recommend to do this.

  It's much better to start a new backup TM on the new TC and keep the old one for several months until you have a fair story and if you need never old file the chances you decreases considerably with time.

• HOW TO BRING BACK THE BROWSER MORE OLD?

  REVISED ORIGINAL QUESTION =
  AFTER ALL THE ~ through the MESS you created and YOU in ME SAYING that "in order to have a chance to get the answer to my question ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I can ', you REFUSE to accept by saying, ' Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less...» » !!! You are ABLE to say that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS? HOW TO BRING BACK THE BROWSER MORE OLD?

  ISSUE INITIAL = I got SEVERAL plugins that WORKED! Then, I 'upgraded' {like you, LAUGHING, claim} to your version of Firefox 4 after promising to you that it is BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the old version. After you install the NEW one ~ IT TURNS OUT ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very skillfully {and, in fact, HATEFULLY} uh, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser for COMPATIBILITY ASCENDANTE so that it does not DESTROY us, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU put your hands on it! So, now, * HOW * I get the OLD version back? I think you need to KNOW what you can do with this new 'UPGRADE' which is, in fact, a LIE! UPGRADES don't take you BACKWARDS ~ make things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER! DUH-H-H!

  ORIGINAL DETAILS =
  I, recently bought, a new HP 4500 printer and it came with an extension to capture video/plugin. Attempt to use, the program informed me that I had to use, either, an IC or a Firefox browser mentioning the version1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; then, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, she added the plugin for the browser ~ PERFECTLY! I had too MUCH other plugins that worked and I used somewhat regularly! NO MORE! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPTE, WISHTHEYWUZ 'PROGRAMMERS' STOLE half of my COMPUTER! I can't, is more, USE ALL OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply because you "forgot" {say} to INCLUDE in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM? WHY DON'T * YOU * WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, MORE?

  Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU, and YOU are its AXIS! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in no way compatible with what is already available ~ according to the "advice", I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everyone must adapt to YOUR claimed "improvements" that are just DESTROY!

  All I want is for YOU to either MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER back version that * IS * compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to another browser and advise all the others that I have one any influence to do the same for the good of their overall computer enjoyment!

• PowerEdge 2850 message error, no display, usb devices do not work and all readers are off (a little)

  Hello! I'm here in the dell community because I'm having an error with a PowerEdge 2850 server. When I boot it all seems to work, but inspection closer both blue and yellow led on the front is off. All devices (such as a keyboard) will not turn on. Supplies seems to work perfectly well with the error led out of power and both of the Green led on the power supply on. The drives at the front lights up but then after 2 seconds the led for every hard drive goes off and then when you reconnect the drives it will be on for 2 seconds then turns off.

  I tried:

  Reset all RAM chips and CPU in the case

  Replugin all hard drives from the server

  I tried multiple monitors

  has tried just using the power supply instead of the power brick or a surge protector

  and tried to run it only out of a raid, everything ends up in the same result

  I have no idea what to do so im just going to ask the community of dell. Thank you!

  Hello.

  What is the error specific are you? Try the system at least to the POST with the following components:

  • System Board
  • Processor
  • A bar of memory in DIMM1-A or B-DIMM1
  • Power supply
  • Riser
  • Control Panel and bottom of basket (necessary only when the last power state was off. Ensure that all USB devices, including the keyboard are disconnected.

• Can I install Windows 2008 R2 Server on a PowerEdge 2850 Server?

  I have a PowerEdge 2850 server, that when he was initially put in place (by someone else) had Windows 2003 R2 top.  However, when they put in place, the partitioned the C: drive with so little space that it is running out of space.  We got a newer Dell server and I turned that 2850 off the coast.  It was interrupted for a month or two.

  But I would like to use it as a backup of database server.  Can I install Windows 2008 R2 Server on a PowerEdge 2850 Server?

  You need to install RAID drivers during the installation of 2008R2.

  1. Configure and initialize the RAID in the CTRL-M utility.
  2. Download and extract the drivers put on USB (or CD).
  3. Start on media 2008R2.
  4. On the screen that asks you where you want to install Windows, click on load a driver link at the bottom left.
  5. Navigate to the location of the RAID drivers.
  6. Choose the drive to install, then install.

• Supported PowerEdge 2850 WinPE versions

  Hello

  We have problems with the Symantec system recovery.  The new version uses WinPE 5.0 64-bit, but I can't start a server poweredge 2850 it resets the entire system.

  Does anyone know if the 2850 supports 64-bit WInPE 5.0?

  If I'm not mistaken, WinPE 5.0 is the package which is 8,1/WindowsServer 2012 R2. Server 2012 is not "supported" on a 2850. 2012 will take place (slow, but it installs and runs), but 2012 R2 installs not even - an apparent problem running 2012 R2 that nobody seemed to be able to understand. I sold all my 2850's, so I did have a go at it, but I suspect that whatever question/incompatibility between the material and the 2012 Server R2 2850 is at the origin of your problem with the backup software based on WinPE 5.0 from Symantec.

• PowerEdge 2850 Boot on USB

  I have recently received some PowerEdge 2850 servers and need to install can I 2008 on them.  They don't have DVD players, so I made a bootable USB drive.  I was able to use the thumbdirve to install Windows on other machines, but I'm not able to get these 2850 to even attempt to boot from the USB key.

  I entered the BIOS and USB controller 'on with BIOS support.  I tried each of the three types of USB emulation available and none doesn't seem to work.  Also, I saw some web pages that describe the USB drive would seem the selection of boot sequence, but it's not.

  Any suggestions?

  Alex

  I did install it on a GROUND of 2850's and here are a few possible suggestions based on what you said or did not say in your message:

  Make sure you have the USB ports enabled embedded devices and emulation set to Auto.  In addition, make sure that you have the USB in THE SYSTEM when you start the BIOS to change the boot order.

• PowerEdge 2850 perc 4e/di has no road

  I just want to confirm before I replace the failed drive with someone who has experience. I am running openmanage have 2 virtual disks raid 1, the 1st shows two thin discs. The 2nd shows a failed drive. These are hot swappable disks and I have some records of exact replacement on-site. It seems too simple that change to the new drive and clicking on rebuild the right?

  Server always remains online during the reconstruction of the new correct player? If the performance of the server are reduced during the reconstruction could I for the day exchanging the defective drive again and then open a session remotely late into the night and click on rebuild? (I can't access it remotely, no problem there).

  Just never failed before and looking for someone who has been there and a heads-up.

  Thank you

  Youngfam,

  That is right. The server remains online. From there you remove the failed drive and then after about 20 seconds, insert the replacement. Now the raid controller should automatically start this reconstruction for you, but if not then you would need to do a manual rebuild or assign the replacement as a spare drive, resulting in its reconstruction.

  This is the manual for the Perc 4e/di - http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/Common/dell-perc-4-di_User's%20Guide11_en-us.pdf

  It contains additional information regarding new buildings and replacing failed hard drives.

  Regarding performance, the default rebuild rate is 30%, so it affects performance a bit during the reconstruction. Not to where users would notice, unless under a heavy load.

  If you remote access to the best way to control the reconstruction, and everything would be to install Open manage server administrator on the server. It will allow you to monitor and manage the health of the server and the controller. You can get OMSA here - http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/poweredge-2850?driverId=G2WT6&osCode=WNET&fileId=2883471492&languageCode=en&categoryId=SM

  Now with installing OMSA he will call to reset, so you can schedule downtime if you want to install this package.

  Let me know if this helps and answers your questions.

• ESXi 4.1 - Dell Poweredge 2850 - tape backup - host does not support configuring passthrough

  I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM.  I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ".  Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed.  Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160).  See.  This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.

  So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list.  This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?

  To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o).   I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this.  It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.
