PowerEdge 1850: Need to add storage: ISCSI or SATA controller or? : Host does not support configuring passthrough

I have a (non - VT capable) PowerEdge 1850 which took an ESXi 4.0 U1 (Dell Version) installation like a champ.  I know that I probably won't be able to have 64-bit clients.

In this box of ESXi (laboratory

Server) I have:

  • 2 x 73 GB SCSI U320 drives in RAID 0 array.

  • 6 GB OF RAM ECC

  • 2 x 1 GB NIC

  • 2 x PCI - X slots (PCI - X slot 133 MHz and PCI - X connector 100 / 66 MHz)

I want to add more space "VM/Guest" and not spending too much money.

What is my best solution?

  1. Find a compatible ESATA 3Gbps controller card (I have a nice 500 GB SATA Drive laying around)? ...

  2. Or should I get out an old box and throw a Gigabit NETWORK card and a SATA inside player and try my hand at Openfiler? I have yet to try it.

  3. ... Or... something else?

Could someone help me hand choose either a PCI controller card - X ESATA/SATA (is - it possible or am I limited by my attached picture?) or a NETWORK card for my spare box (if it is not an old)?  I understand "_ _passthrough configuration"allows my virtual machine to hardware on the host computer directly, but I'm not clear how this effects my plans you want.

I read:

.. .but I am suspicious of money sinking into the material lest my PowerEdge does not support the Configuration PassThrough (does it matter?)  I still have to load a single guest.

Thanks a lot for your time in advance!

Get started with what you have. Do not pass anything. Set up the old PC you have as a NFS storage device. Use openfiler or? That will allow you to do some investigation/tests you want to do. Keep your eyes open for a local RAID controller or on an old server with lots of fast scsi storage you can add such as NFS or?

  • 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.

    Hi Surya,

    No, it's not any problem with the configuration of your path.

    It only means that this policy does not allow additional configuration.

    I.e. with fixed NMP, you would be able to configure a preferred path allowing you to manually distribute the i/o load.

    Your current configuration does not offer this option.

    Kind regards

It is not possible.

  • The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.  You will not be able to access older versions of this document once you close.

    I recently started getting this strange message, usually when a Pages document is closed:

    «The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.»  You can access older versions of this document once you close. »

    All my research (apple.com and on the internet) have not enabled all the information on this message.

    Hi Larry,

    The 'volume' is a hard disk, a partition on a hard drive or a storage as a USB device.

    OS X automatically saves your document frequent while you work on it. If the volume of the device / it records on a summer formatted to allow 'versioning', you will be able to use Time Machine to open previous versions of your document. If it has not been formatted like that, you get the message see you, and only the current version of the document will be saved.

    Hi Andy,.

    I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.
