No found network card.  Need to convert a single machine VM (noob).

Greetings,

I am very new to ESXi.  I am familiar with the concepts, as I've used Virtualbox from Sun in the past.

Right now I have a goal to accomplish, and it is using a network and devices that are completely isolated from any networks/machines of production.

Here's my situation:

I have a server HP Proliant I bought recently which will be EVENTUALLY used as an ESXi host (for a proof of concept that VM works for the powers that be). It is used. He has a facility registered, valid, supported and complete Windows Server 2008 on what I'd like to preserve.

I want to "Save" this 2008 Server as a virtual machine using the VM converter and then install ESXi 5 on this server and then copy the original VM 2008 back home (now) and that he is here as a guest VM.

My problem is I don't have a 64-bit computer at my disposal to use as a host.  A dell laptop Inspiron 1720R. It has 6 GB of ram and an empty 250 gb HD.  I have several machines win XP 32 bit I can use it to run the client. My plan was to use this laptop as my 'temporary' host to convert and store the files of the Server 2008 virtual machine.  Then install ESXi on HP proliant and copy/convert the virtual machine back to run as a guest on the host of original material.

Here is where I am:

I boot on the ESXi installation Cd and it ends by brings me to a point where it says 'no network adapters detected' and gives me a choice of F9 or F11.  Exit or retry.  I am sure that it is a driver problem but I'm not sure how (if possible) I can address the issue.   I know that the material is good because if I put a hard drive with WIN 7 OS on it in the laptop it starts and works very well.   Built in network adapter is an Atheros PCIE v2.0.2.

Again, I am new on ESXi.  If anyone has solutions to this problem of driver, or perhaps another (Global) way to reach my goal (save the original WIN 2008 installation as a VM to use on the same host machine), I would be grateful.

Thank you.

P....

You may also be able to get around this by simply using VMware workstation on a trial as a host license for that move you - in this way you are not concerned by your material being supported with ESXi.

  • Vostro 460 found network card Code 31 need to reboot 3 to 4 times

    I have 10 Vostro 460 s, network cards themselves not at startup.  You must restart the systems 3 - 4 times to get Windows to find network cards.  All the drivers are up to date.  This may be related to a Windows update, because the machine were very good for a month or two until an update is released.

    We have the same problem.  3 of the 11 Vostro 460 lack of NIC I totally agree with jason629. Call Dell for a new MB or get a new network card. I spent hours and hours to try to update the bios/driver, restart, unplug, reset MB, shaking. I ended up getting new network cards.

    Disappointed. Quailty of Dell is downhill.

    The list of the parts for your model indicates that there is a Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 WIFI wireless network adapter b/g/n 1 x 1 and BluteTooth 4.0 m2 combination.

    These would be the links to the wireless and bluetooth drivers you need for this model of the wlan card.

  • !!!!!! Help! No network card detected during the instalation ESXI 5.5 in a laptop

    Hello

    I want to get a lab and install an ISO of ESXI 5.5 image from scratch in a laptop Lenovo T430 16 GB of RAM. Everything appears normally, BOOT from CD, copying files, early and late services, appears "not found network card remember that you at least have a network card to connect to the system", there is only the choice to have an ABORTION. Any help? The card is one Intel (R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection.

    What is strange to me if I installed a Windows 7 and after 10 VWworkstation, I can install a 5.5.without ESXI, even ISO problem

    ANYhelp is welcome!

    Welcome to the community,

    Please take a look at http://www.virten.net/2013/09/esxi-5-x-installation-on-intel-nuc-fails-with-no-network-adapters/ for more information on how to customize the installation image to recognize your network card. When you install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation, it is not the physical NETWORK adapter which is presented to the virtual machine, but a virtual NETWORK adapter for which ESXi uses built-in drivers.

  • Need to find a driver for NETWORK card for my P7-1010

    I had a few difficulties to connect to my cable company and they said that it's maybe because I didn't install the necessary NETWORK card driver. That sounds wrong and if so, where can I find 'he'... or all the other drivers, I may need. Is there a central database driver? PS - I am born a Mac person and due to costs and conditions of work ended up on a PC... and I've had hundreds of issues with both platforms... but less Apple... so do not hate the user ID

    What network cards I need to run a high-speed dsl connection if I don't need to be on a network?

    You should contact your supplier of access and knowledge, but none on shelf NIC should work given that most modern cards are supported 100 MB to 1 GB transfer rate.

  • need driver for network card

    I need the network card driver for my desktop sff EVO 510 with XP pro, Ive tried the HP/Compaq downloads and none of these work

    Ok

    First of all, the reference of the material for your PC manual does not display on page 8 network connections (even if there are drivers available).

    http://bizsupport2.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c00706603/c00706603.PDF

    So I guess than some models had delivered with network cards and some did not and maybe yours was the one who did not and that a NIC has been added later? In addition, all of the drivers listed are for models Gigabit (1000 Mbps) while yours seems to be only 100Mbs.

    Can you confirm that the network connection is not part of the plate of e/s of the motherboard, but actually a supplement to the map.

  • Compaq Mini 110 c-1103SO: need drivers for network cards after upgrade to Win 8.1

    Woman's cell phone upgraded from XP to Win 8 Pro.  All set up, all the upgrades installed etc. disappeared.  Everything was fine, even got most of its programs to operate correctly and not had any problem with the internet.  Then fed Microsoft forces the OS update to 8.1 (PRO) and she lost contact to the internet.

    No other device have problems with our home WLAN, regardless if they are connected by a wireless router or cable.  The newly improved PC connects to the router, wired and wireless, but the connection is 'limited' and gives no net access.  Even when you try a portable WiFi connection with a Tablet, the connection remains limited.

    Contacted support technique microsoft: they claim 8.1 kernel is so different from 8.0 that the drivers on the PC no longer compatible (even if winning 8.1 was happy enough to re - install while improving...).  They also claim to be unaware that it even all compatible drivers are available for the cards we have.  This is their desire to 'help' ended and they told me to contact the manufacturer of the PC for those compatible.

    Network cards are: Broadcom 802.11 g network card and Qualcomm Atheros AR8132 PCI - E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30).

    What are the specifications for the drivers, I need and where can I get them?  Given that the affected device has no internet connection, I obviously need to download the drivers to another PC and transfer them using a memory stick.

    Grateful for the help earlier - wife is not very happy...

    You are the very welcome.

    Glad you were able to solve the problem by upgrading the equipment.
