• How to install the additional drivers on ESXi 4.0 U1

  Hello...

  I had a problem of lil with my ESXi 4.0.0 build - 219382. I've implemented a new "Intel E1G44ET" NETWORK card

  This NIC shoud be supported. If I understand right, I need to install additional drivers on my ESXi server.

  I found a 'how to' on the Web page of vmware:

  1. turn on the host ESX or ESXi.

  2. place the CD in the CD-ROM drive of the host where the vSphere CLI is installed or vMA is hosted.

  3. Mount the driver CD.

  4 navigate to the & lt; CD mount point & gt; / off line-bundle / and look for the INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip file.

  5. run the vihostupdate command to install the drivers using the offline.

  vihostupdate & lt; conn_options & gt; -installation - bundle INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip

  My problem is, I don't know how to do step. 3. "mount the driver CD' shell.

  Is there a manual, you can link or tell me an easy way to put the network adapter 'online '?

  Thanks a lot 4 your help!

  Hello

  (just edit the post, the CD-ROM drive can be mounted/dev/cdrom and/dev/cdrom-had in my vma)

  Here's what I had to do to mount the iso and install the driver on my console Management Wizard vSphere:

  First of all, I attach the ISO using vSphere client on my vm VMA. then:

  sudo mkdir/media/cdrom

  sudo mount/dev/cdrom-had/media/cdrom

  vihostupdate - Server < ipaddress.or.fqdn > - install - /media/cdrom/offline-bundle/INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.9.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip bundle

  It will ask for the username password and install the update. Restart the ESXi.

  If your vMA only makes available the/dev/cdrom, you can deploy the FVO in a new virtual machine and try again.

• Install the HBA drivers for ESXi hosts

  We currently have a plan to install a new system with our spare essentials vCenter license, Emulex HBA cards in the DELL gear that we will make our ESXi hosts.

  
  How to configure adapters HBAS in ESXi, can we recommend has someone already installed drivers Emulex HBA in an ESXi host?

  
  Defining the ESXi host should not be a problem, but it is just to install the drivers in ESXi I'm stumped.

  What version of ESXi, you install? Check the VMware HCL for IO devices and if you HBA is compatible, try to do a default install and maybe the ESXi will recognize and load the drivers without having to do any additional setup.

• Confused in what I need [ESXi Embedded; ESX Installable; ESX 3.5]

  Hello team.

  Let me explain what I first: I need to run 6 virtual machines and manage these 6 VMs through a single window. I might be able to manage all VMs 6 using the single window (in general-, this could be any application). To manage, I mean, create snapshots, go back, use them as if I had VMware workstation. I don't need any other features. I'm looking in the plug of the machine: Quad core; 8 GB; SATA RAID.

  Now my question is how do I select ESXi Embedded or Installable or standalone ESX. Is there documentation that shows these differences or videos showing what are interfaces?

  I read the difference between ESXi and ESX and it was something citing on linux required for ESX. Does this mean that my whitebox will need Linux installed before that I could install ESX?

  ESXi is barebone architecture, which means, I'll lose admin capabilities?

  You think, with these questions, am confused? Thanks for any help in advance

  Novice user with virtualization - Manny

  Hello Manny,

  In fact, it's the same interface and the program, you use esx and esxi.

  Free ESXi, esx costs money and can do all kinds of magic to keep near 100% availability.

  You will need to have an admin on windows pc to run the VI client from.

  The VI-client (or VMware Infrastructure client) connects to your host, and from there, you can create new guests, create the snapshot, return etc.

  NO, you don't need linux. In fact my esx 3i is booting from a USB key no OS is required on the hard disk.

  I have attached a photo where you can see the interface to manage hosts.

  

• Reference Dell M620 and M820 ESXi 5.1 installation

  I'm relatively new to VMware on Dell hardware. The closest thing that I believe to a custom image is 'VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 Image Recovery"(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=RD5JN). I assumed it to be ESXi 5.1 update 1 with favorite Dell specifc driver packages. I had planned to use this new installs feeling that it would include the latest drivers for my Dell M620 and M820s and would be preferable to base VMware image.

  1. It is the support for the installation of these blades?
  2. The description says « Ce ISO image should only be used to restore/reinstall VMware ESXi on image for SD Card/USB Key on the supported Dell platforms. »
     • I am confused by the specification 'only' restore/reinstall and not install.
     • Also confused by the mention of the only card SD and USB to the apparent exclusion of standard hard drives.

  I installed with it as a test and it looks good, but I'm uncomfortable with the description. I would be grateful for any additional information or insight to those who support ESXi in Dell stores.

  Hi vmproteau,

  Here are my answers to your question based on my experience. I have no experience with the M620 or M820 I manages around 240 M610, 60 R710, the R720 10, so I am familiar with Dells ESXi 5.1 servers update 1.

  (1) Yes, I would recommend using the ISO provided Dell printer if you are not familiar with creating your own package with the necessary drivers and firmware.

  (2) this ISO standard will include all drivers for supported Dell servers and some customizations of Dell and can be used for new installations regardless of the storage (SD, USB or HD Local) option. I would like to look out for is mainly to make sure that you update the firmware on all of your blades with the most recent available by Dell that ESXi is very picky with the pilot and also incompatible firmware Dell CMC with thanks to a few mistakes from time to time.

  Kind regards

• ESXi 4 IBM Installation

  Dear all

  I currently have 7 Host which are all IBM X series servers running all ESXi 4.1.

  If my interpretation is correct... in order to use IBM UpdateXpress on those hosts that I will need to replace the version of ESXi, who is currently on the version of IBM of ESXi hosts?

  So my first question is... is the above correct?

  My second question is... can I install this on my current version without losing all settings such as the IP address maps NIC etc...  I do not have any virtual computer running on the local disks of the hosts they are all stored on a large unit of SAN.

  Is there someone who has done this procedure?

  Thank you very much

  Concerning

  Glen

  ISO 4U1 IBM - Customized ESXi can be downloaded here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/os/vmware/esxi/

  Note: The ISO standard adds IBM HSI and sensors for additional hardware-specific drivers.  (For example, on a HS22V blade, one 23 additional hardware sensors are added by using the ISO IBM custom.)  I recommend that you reinstall using it when you can, but be aware that you will lose the vSwitch configuration and IP information for your guests.

  For updates of the firmware, you can use one of the packs of UpdateXpress, but my personal preference is the creator of Bootable media, which you can download here: http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-BOMC

  With this tool, you can create bootable USB keys to use for the update of system firmware (very convenient for systems without the Virtual Media Key option or a local optical drive.)

  No matter what option you choose, the IBM-recommended sequence of update for the update of the firmware of type code is:

  1 IMM, followed

  2 UEFI, ending with

  3 Diags.

  Edit: I probably would add that it is supported by VMware to install the patches of VMware to an ESXi system that was originally installed from a custom ISO IBM.  It is not supposed to affect these customizations (well, I have not met all situations where it has not yet.)

  (You will also lose Resource Pool configurations when you reinstall, and NTP settings, etc.)  Basically, everything you did in the Configuration tab after the initial installation will have to be redone, with the exception of storage shared.  Your shared data warehouses should appear with the entire virtual machine on them intact.  "But, you may need to do a new analysis, or simply wait until a new scheduled scan occurs, before they will appear again.)

• HP ESXi 4.1 installation CD

  We are mainly HP datacenter. I am aware of the installation of HP ESXi ISO. I think the only change is the inclusion of HP specific CIM providers. So now I could use VMware software and updated ICD drivers separately or simply use the device all inclusive HP install software.

  I've been kind of edge when talking about ESXi embedded but, really, I don't like the idea of specific versions of the ESX software vendor as much. I think I'm leaning towards keeping the updates of ICD as a separate process and stick with VMware ISOs.

  Someone at - he of the additional thoughts on this?

  There was a discussion about this a few days ago, which you may want to read - http://communities.vmware.com/message/1657795

  My personal preference is to install the 'original' VMware image and add CIM providers as needed.

• Wireless drivers do not proceed with installation

  Hello

  Only today, I bought a new laptop HP 15d002tx. But I'm really mad because of not being able to make the internet. I could not install the driver. When I click on the installation of the driver, it does nothing, but just extract the files and it is.

  The light on my wi - fi on red poster keyboard key, means, I don't know how to turn it off.

  There are a few other problems as well as with the pilots. I couldn't use the brightness so function keys. I checked all the drivers correctly. I am using windows 7 now.

  Previously I was using windows 8.1. In addition, he had same problem. I thought that this is a bug of windows 8.1 so I installed windows 7 again. I have re-installed windows 7 several times on my new laptop but nothing happens.

  Please, if anyone has the solution, although kindly help me. I'm going crazy here. I do important and urgent work, and since this is the only laptop that I have now, I need to work.

  HI, sorry for the late reply.

  I can't find network within my device manager controller. At first, I thought may be it is the main issue.

  But then, I just download another driver from hp site and shocking, it worked!

  How stupid was I spend my entire day trying to install a driver and reinstall windows many times... instead of trying with another pilot.

  I used realtek wireless LAN at the beginning. He was not moved. This time I tried it - atheros Qualcom and presto! It did what it was supposed to do... bring back my internet connection so I could work.

  Thanks anyway for your help.

• ESXi 6.0 installer did not drive on the second Raid Controller

  Hello!

  I want to improve my Testserver of 5.5 to 6.0.

  The server is an ML370 G5 with controller P400 Smar table 2.

  But the installer 6.0 only to find the drive on the first controller (Slot 1).

  If I change the disks from one controller to another, the installation program are the other disks.

  I used VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2494585.x86_64.iso.

  I was able to install and everthing workes of other purpose, except the disk on the second controller P400.

  In/proc/driver/cciss/cciss * all this drive listed there.

  Anyone has a suggestion for me

  Thanks Andreas

  Hello

  We faced the same problem.  The P400 is no longer supported. Nor is the P600 and I don't think that the P800 is either.  Check the HCL.  You must stay on 5.5.  Same HP dropped support in his favor

  VMware KB: Obsolete and unsupported features in VMware ESXi 6.0

  "Some devices are deprecated in ESXi 6.0. During an upgrade, these device drivers can still be installed on ESXi 6.0 host and can continue to function, but the device is no longer officially supported on ESXi 6.0 "

  So basically you are lucky that he finds at least one of them.  Weird he did not find the two, but no matter what is not supported

• Qosmio G30-153: no drivers were found during the installation of Vista

  Hi I tried to install Vista on my computer, but there are some bad things. I just insert the Vista CD and restart my machine.

  Vista has started to install and I have reached the point where Vista should find the drivers to choose, but its tells me no drivers were found.

  I took it to the Agency in Syria and they told me that this (Qosmio G30-153) machine comes with vista only.
  If you have upgraded from XP applies to the Qosmio only.

  I think there is another problem, but they could not solve it because I told them when I go to the configuration of the system, I found the drivers, but the names are different.
  Driver (C) named Raid 0, but the names of the drivers D Jbod and I think they should be eponymous.

  If they are different name, but they don know what I mean.
  do you know how to change the name of the pilots and why they are different.

  I hope you can help me and I will answer you on my email address if you don't mind my ([email protected]) is

  Thanks alotttttttt Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

• Should what drivers I after a clean installation of Windows XP Edition family on basis of Compaq d530 CMT model?

  I had to do a fresh install of Windows XP Edition family with a different drive than what was originally on the PC. I installed the network driver, but I don't know what else I need, also far than go to drivers, because there is so much to choose from. Also, I can't start Windows without the installation disk in the drive. If it is not in the drive, he'll get me through the entire process of installation and configuration. Thus,.

  1. What are the other drivers and updates do I need?

  2. what should I do to be able to start Windows without the installation disc?

  Thank you in advance!

  Need help on how to solve my problem about installing graphics drivers for my laptop. I replaced my HARD drive today since the hardware problems encountered an original and I was not able to recover all the files of it. I have download all the drivers from the HP site and it installed without any problem until I arrive at SP61152 (Intel HD Graphic Driver). When installing this error message has occurred (this computer does not meet the minimum requirements to install this software).  Also, I can't find the AMD Catalyst Control Center that I have used before when tweaking performance for my applications. Hope someone from HP can help solve this problem. Thank you.

  Hi all:

  So I bought the DVD of Windows 7 from the store
  and all by installing the DVD of windows 7
  the system prompted me drivers.

  You can make it complicated for help us to you. In this post , you wrote that you have downloaded an ISO file that you found on the net. Here you say you bought a DVD.

  You will need an official Win7 disk (or ISO real) that corresponds to the type of product key of Windows you have. A legitimate Win 7 disc will not ask for drivers.

  Start Win 7 installation disc

  Follow the prompts

  Enjoy

  If you do something else than that, then you don't have a record of Win 7.
