Parallel logic LSI, LSI logic SAS, parallel Buslogic (not recommended for the guest operating system), vmware paravirtual

Infrastructure:

vSphere

ESX 4

Reference Dell R710 Server

I install WIN 2003 x 64 as a virtual server on ESX 4, when I select LSI logic SAS & LSI logic parallel it does not detect the hard drive, do I need driver if so where can I download?

For parallel bus logic (not recommended for the guest operating system) & Vmware paravirtual, do I have to select this option for my win 2003 R2 x 64 edition?

Please help on this issue.

If you really want to use it for installation, you will need to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a disk image.

  • HP Z820 - BIOS 02.55 rev A - SSD on LSI SAS 2308 do not start... "Non-system disk...". »

    Hello

    MY Z820 workstation is equipped with an Intel 520 240 GB SSD as boot drive, on the integrated LSI SAS 2308 controller. It is a GPT disk.

    I just tried to update my BIOS Rev 02.08 Z820. at 02.55 a. rev.

    The update succeeded, and in the BIOS, I check that all the settings are the same as before the update. On the boot, however, I get an error saying "Non system disk or disk error."

    Mass strorage option ROM is set to EFI mode.

    No matter what the settings, it does not start in Windows.

    I started 02.08 BIOS Rev A and now all is well again.

    Is there a compatibility issue with the BIOS 02.55 Rev A combo, Intel SSD 520 and LSI SAS 2308?

  • Not enough disk space on the drive operating system on PowerEdge T310 with SAS 6/ir RAID controller

    T310 Server 2008 Standard SP2 system installed using Dell OpenManage for a matrix RAID with 2 HARD drives. The table is divided into a volume EISA 39 MB, a RECOVERY volume (drive D) / 3GB, 40 GB OS volume (drive C) and a 422 Go to Volume DataPart1 (drive E).

    The reader of the OS (c :) currently has less than 1.5 GB of free space. I have already moved or uninstalled as much as possible, but the space seems to be used for updates/hotfixes for Windows Server 2008. I found about 1.2 GB in the Windows/Temp folder, but not sure if the files can be deleted without a problem.

    Drive would be "is the recovery disk with drive"E", used for data and program storage.

    I can't find a way to extend this player, although there is enough space on the disk. Using the Windows Disk Manager I was able to open about 20 GB of free disk space that can be used to extend the OS disk - only no options are available.

    Here are my questions:

    (1) can I delete or move the deployment files MS Updates? If so, where are the?

    (2) how can I enlarge the OS drive?

    Thanks for your help!

    Jack Leonard

    Mktman,

    One-way ticket, you can go is to use the tool Extpart found here. This program will allow you to extend the space on the C: drive. There is a catch though. With Extpart you can develop the C: drive, but only if he is not a player after him. So, in order to expand the C: drive, you will need to back up and delete drive D: and E:, and then expand c. Can you re-create and restore D: and E:

    Now with regard to your questions, I would have to research if the update files can be moved. I know that most of the time the file that consumes the most space is the page file for the operating system. That can be moved to the E:drive.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • How to: install Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) in ESXi 4.1 - 260247 with controller 'LSI Logic SAS'?

    I have a newly installed ESXi 4.1 - 260247 on a Fujitsu - Siemens GROUND RX300 S4 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 GHz with 36 GB of RAM.

    Storage controller is a LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 6 x 750 GB SATA - drives configured with 3xRAID-1 logical drives. BIOS Version 4.06 Rev 1.04.2519

    Now, I'm trying to install "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit" in a virtual machine, but fail because the virtual hard disk cannot be found.

    I tried with all Types of SCSI controller, but when running of the "Create Virtual Machine"-magician, he suggests 'LSI Logic SAS'. "." I tried 'LSI Logic parallel' and "VMware Paravirtual" but it did not work. However, I have not tried "Parallel BusLogic", since it clearly says no "recommended for this guest operating system".

    I was unable to find documentation on how and where I can find the "LSI Logic SAS" - pilot to be able to continue the installation. The

    Windows Server 2008 R2 installation is an ISO obtained directly from Microsoft eLicensing.

    I also downloaded the drivers floppy 'pvscsi - Windows2008.flp' and 'vmscsi.flp' from the ESXi server, but the program finds no driver validates the installation of Windows on them.

    I also extracted files "windows.iso' of the ESXi machine, but not drivers there as well.

    So my question is, what model is the "LSI Logic SAS", I guess I can download these LSI directly, I need to know what model?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Kind regards

    chrkad,

    I think you have the same problem I had.   Trying to install 2008 R2 and asked for drivers?

    The issue wound up being an ISO corrupt Ms.

    Try to download the ISO using the java-based download manager.  This will tell you if your download is getting disturbed, as mine was.  It will also be the image once completed to ensure you've got the whole thing of checksum.  Just download via HTTP does not.

    I found myself in download the image of the House and burn a DVD and realize that the back of the office,

  • Rate of Logic Pro... I think the move to it

    I've been a user of Digital Performer for years, but happened to be so complex, there are bugs and stability problems arise. DP7 used to be excellent, but DP9 introduced a bug in the automation of volume which made a usable and motu is hesitating on setting, or even acknowledge the problem. I also have performance problems. Often enough, the application will freeze for about 2 seconds, before he meets my keys, click mouse or command. There are other things, but I think to deserting a ship towards the camp of logic and wanted to know how he's doing.

    I stuck with the older operating system and Logic-9. No worries.

    Reported the exact same problems that you are having, in my Logic users there are now Beta-testers for the program reviews. Depending on the machine you have, the logic may or may not fail. It seems to do well on the newest equipment of the Apple. I suggest browsing this forum to get an idea.

  • Parallel to LSI Logic SAS LSI logic change

    Hi guys

    We found a pretty slow Windows 2008 R2 VM, and we found the used SCSI controller is LSI Logic parallel how can change us at LSI Logic SAS and have Windows 2008 Startup OK?

    Thank you very much

    I wrote an article on how to do it here: http://wahlnetwork.com/2011/12/20/how-to-change-scsi-controller-type-on-a-vmware-vm/

    In your case, it's the opposite, but the instructions work the same (just go parallel to SAS instead).

    could someone help me on this?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Fred

    Have you ever watched the SCSI adapater to paravirtual with PowerCLI change ?

    Instead of the VMware.Vim.ParaVirtualSCSIController you select the VMware.Vim.VirtualLsiLogicSASController object.

    Let me know that make you it work if I can post a sample.

  • BSoD under Win2k3 x 64 VM with LSI Logic SAS, VM v7 creation

    Hi all

    Curious about the performance I try to create a new virtual machine template using the newly installed ESXi 4 with the following configuration:

    OS: Windows Server 2003 x 64 standard

    NIC: VMXNet 3

    SCSI controller: LSI Logic SAS

    VM version: 7

    and he has failed the windows partition initial setupsee the following attachment.

    would it because I install on my local partition SATA?

    Kind regards

    AWT

    This isn't a BSoD, mate. It just says that the installer cannot detect hard drives, usually due to the lack of built-in support for the the operating system images to disk controller.

    The new LSI SAS controller W2k3 boot is currently not possible and the SAS controller is only intended to be used for W2k8 Clustering because it supports SCSI-3 reservations.

    You can try adding the driver manually with a floppy or something, but you must use the parallel controller LSI logic in any case.

  • Create the virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI LSI logic SAS with PowerCLi

    Hey guys,.

    IM the difficulty to create a virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI to "LSI Logic SAS". The cmdlet New - VM im struggling to find where to create the type of controller?

    If you create a virtual machine without specifying a disk it will create a 4 GB SCSI type thick (0:0) hard drive 1 with 0 Parrall default BusLogic SCSI controller.

    What im wanting to do is to create a disk hard which is thin Prov. and create SCSI LSI logic SAS controller is set to.

    New-VM -name VMSTORE23 -$vmhost $esxhost MemoryMB- 4096 NumCpu- 2 -NetworkName "Vlan 6 Machine Virtual Network" | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type Vmxnet3 -MacAddress '00:50:56:00:00:21' -confirm:$false

    I have recived of aid by some LucD who helped direct the value of the network card in the New - VM cmdlet as follows. But I'm not able to add a hose for hard disk also like:

    | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - Datastore $datastore - slim StorageFormat

    And I have no idea how change the type of SCSI conroller or create it with the correct configuration?

    Any help would be great,

    Thanks in advance

    Eddie

    Greetings, steddyeddie-

    You should be able to use Set - hard drive and SCSI controller Set cmdlets to set the storage format of your hard drive and the SCSI controller type, respectively.  You were close to on the part of game - hard drive .  Try something like:

    ## get the VM object $vmVMSTORE23 = Get-VM VMSTORE23 ## set the harddisk storageformat to thin$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-HardDisk | Set-HardDisk -StorageFormat Thin ## set the SCSI controller type$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-ScsiController | Set-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
    

    It could pack in to your existing order to keep it as a good word, but for readability.

    Enjoy

  • New hard drive fails on Windows Server 2008 VM with LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

    When I try to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer with the cmdlet New-disk hard of a Windows Server 2008 virtual computer, I get the following error:

    When assigning a different virtual machine, for example the parallel LSI Logic Controller, it is not a problem at all. When I add additional disks using the VI Client, there also no problem, regardless of the SCSI controller I use.

    Someone had this problem as well? Y at - it a known solution?

    Hi rengelen,

    I admit that I was pretty murky about when the fix will be available. The thing is that VMware has a policy that employees should not mention liberation time unless we are certain that we can keep his promise of 100%. Hence statemens as 'will be available in a future release.

  • Add disk Workflow fails when you use the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

    I'm in vCenter Orchestrator 4.0.1

    When you try to run the workflow work add drive on a virtual machine that uses the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller I get an error no controller found.

    This workflow is under: library-> VIM 3-> Virtual Machine Management-> device management

    The workflow add disk supports the LSI Logic SAS controller?  If this is not the case, no idea of how to create my own custom adds workflow to disk that would work with this controller?

    Thank you!

    Which plugin you have configured to talk to your Virtual Center? the plugin 3.5 or 4.0 plugin? If you have used the plugin 4.0, you must use the library-> VC-> * workflow so that the correct objects get used.

    It is not in format flp. to make flp follow these steps.

    Download on a virtual computer.

    connect a floppy drive to the virtual machine and choose to create a flp on the data store.

    Copy the files into the floppy drive and you now have your lsi sas pilot flp to use during the installation.
