  I tried on cold hidden server with boot CD, but received the error "unable to determine the operating system invited."  Looks like that I don't have the driver for the Dell raid controller in the boot CD.

  I decided to go with the hot P2V using the plug-in for VirtualCenter.  I stop the SQL server service and disabled the firewall disabled the anti-virus tools.  Only two partitions (C and G) on the physical server must be in the new virtual machine.  So, I've selected partitions C and G and has increased the size of the drive at a time.  I made sure not to install the vmware tools and unchecked the option reconfigures.   The P2V conversion was successful.   But when I went to start the virtual machine, it starts with the 'VMWARE' logo and restarts immediately.  Restart the virtual computer so fast I can't even in the BIOS unless I hit the key several times.   I did the clonning with the hidden partition, but with the same problem.   There are no BSOD or any indication that the virtual machine cannot find the vdisks.   Called in vmware support.  They used webex for an hour, but could not fix.  Asked me to send in the logbundle.

  I HERE it if someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Another option is to install the Standalone Converter 3.0.3 on the PowerEdge, stop all services and performing the conversion.

• VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

  Hi all

  I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

  I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

  I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

  Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

  Kind regards

  Michael Lange

  I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

  You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

  What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

  If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

• How can I get more memory? Should I go through Dell (it is a Dell computer)? I get the message too low virtual memory.

  I get the message "out of virtual memory"... In order to buy more memory, can I contact Dell for this (there is a Dell computer)?

  "Out of virtual memory" has nothing to do with the amount of physical RAM you have installed.  These errors are caused by incompatible programs, too little free capacity available on the hard drive, correctly configured virtual memory (you set it so Windows automatically manages) or sometimes even by a severely fragmented hard disk partition.

  But, if you decide you want to increase your RAM anyway, memory Crucial (www.crucial.com) website has a database to help find the right RAM for your specific brand and model computer or the motherboard.  (By the way, Crucial is the only company I have ever buy RAM.)  I've never been disappointed.)  And it will be significantly cheaper than buying at Dell.

• DELL PowerEdge 2950 PERC 5 / i

  Dear members,

  I have server Dell PowerEdge 2950, I need to install Windows 2003 Standard Edition and save it as a file server for my network.

  So I bought 2 TB SATA WD HDD, I would like to create RAID 1.

  As a trial, I connected two 145 GB SAS and a 2 TB SATA Bay and switch ON create RAID1.

  Please guide me how to create RAID 1 using PERC 5 / i utility of configuration?

  My version 5 PERC / i integrated 5.0.2.0003.

  Thank you

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID array.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 Backplane - error message: SAS B missing cable. Misconfigured?

  We have a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2950 s, they came with a built-in SAS Perc5i RAID controller.

  Unfortunately the Perc5i is a kind of fake raid 10 (a span of mirrors) rather than a bunch of mirrors so we had to get some raid cards appropriate instead.

  So now the perc5i on board is disconnected from the bottom of basket and disabled in bios, and we have our new raid card installed and connected to the bottom of basket - all is well and they work well.

  However when the machines bios startup stops and we get an error message saying the following:

  «SAS B cable missing /.» Misconfigured.

  Turn the system power off and connected properly. Details for the wiring of storage system information label and manual Ownders hardware.

  Press F1 to continue, F2 to run the configuration utility.

  How can we stop this message? This is obviously completely false; our new SAS cards are connected to the bottom of the basket and works very well. I don't see anywhere to disable this message in the bios or the 5 BMC Management utility.

  BIOS version is 2.2.6 (last)

  BMC firmware is 1.97 (last)

  Backplane firmware is 1.05 (last)

  Help, please!

• ESXi 3.5 on Dell Poweredge 2950 and Dell 6 GB/s card SAS HBA?

  Hello.

  I'm under ESXi 3.5 u4 on a Dell poweredge 2950 machine.

  I recently bought a Dell Powervault 124 t. autoloader with a HBA SAS 6 GB/s card.

  I installed the card SAS in the PE 2950, but now I can't seem to see in ESXi.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you very much.

  I'm afraid that the Dell technician is correct.

  Someone at - it a link on ESX support not directly connected devices?

  This isn't the issue. The question is: do you have a link that shows devices supported?

  Reference Dell does support the autoloader Powervault 124 t. on ESXi 3.5?

  Have you checked the VMware HCL already, if the SAS controller is included/supported for ESXi version, you are running?

  There are a few articles which have tape readers running with Adaptec SCSI controllers, I don't see anything for ESXi 3.5 with a SAS controller still...

  Maybe there's a better chance to make this work with ESX 4.x with VMDirectPath

• Compatible with Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers

  We would like to expand our cluster of servers ESX 3.5 U4. Currently we have 2 servers PowerEdge 2950 III, with 3 GHz processors Intel XEON X 5450. Dell has removed this line, apparently with the R710, substitute containing XEON X 5570 2.93 GHz CPU. The R710 server would be compatible in a HA cluster with our existing PowerEdge 2950 III servers? We are concerned about being able to smoothly VMotion among all servers.

  The R710 server would be compatible in a HA cluster with our existing PowerEdge 2950 III servers?

  VMware HA can work well also with different type of processor.

  We are concerned about being able to smoothly VMotion among all servers.

  VMotion (as well as the DRS) to activate CVS of your cluster.

  Create a new cluster, select CVS, put your new host R710 in this cluster, and then use VMotion to release a PE2950, put in maintenance mode and move it in EVC Cluster.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 of installation

  I'm testing DPM on a Dell PowerEdge 2950.  To make this work, I have need to configure IPMI if I can have a server go to safe mode and out of safe mode.  I've been Googling like crazy, but have been unable to find an answer on how to get this working.  Whenever I try to put my host in standby I get this message:

  vCenter has determined that it cannot resume host & lt; hostname & gt; standby; Therefore, the eve of the entry task was suspended.
  Confirm that IPMI/ILO is configured correctly for host & lt; hostname & gt;.  Or, configure vCenter to use WoL, making sure there are at least two or more hosts in the cluster, and then try the task again.

  A couple of things about this error: an it is a cluster two host (for testing purposes).  Two, I use Dell hardware so I have to use IPMI not ILO.

  I have connected my DRAC page and enabled IPMI over LAN, but I don't know what else to do here, and I don't know where all the parameters concerning this in vCenter or ESX.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Gunnar

  I used the setting of Dell OpenManage.

  Under system / main system / remote access, you can see:

  Select the IPMI Over LAN-> Yes (don't forget it is YES)

  SOIL active Yes

  XXXXXXXXXX MAC address

  IPv4 address

  IP address static Source

  YYYYY IP address

  In ESX, under Configuration / PowerManagement / properties I use:

  BMC IP: YYYYY

  BMC MAC: XXXXX

• Capacity problems memory marketing of computer virtual - VMK_NO_SPACE

  Scenario:

  Our client has a VMWare ESXi host 5.5 with three Windows 7 Pro 64 bit VM on it.  We do not have this configured more than the customer.  IT companies set up for them and there is no way to get in touch with them because they have dissolved since.

  Our customer has just checked on their VMWare environment and found that among the three VM not illuminate.

  I jumped in and felt that the first virtual machine (the one that was powered) has 20 GB of memory, the host itself has 60.  The 2 other VM also had 20 GB defined on them.

  When I tried to turn it on, I got:

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Has no power on the virtual machine.

  Could not power on VM: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NO_SPACE.

  The current swap file size is 0 KB.

  Cannot extend the pagefile from 0 KB to 20971520 KB.

  Troubleshooting:

  I continued then to reduce the memory two (make the same mistake with the appropriate number of KB at the end of the error each time) until I put them both to 2 GB of memory, then they were able to start up.

  After still playing with it, looks like I can split only 5 GB between the other two until I start to get the error again.

  Question:

  Don't ask not why the virtual need 20 GB of memory, the client machine just told me that they work very well to have all three of the computer virtual to 20 GB of memory, but why these would stop working all of a sudden until a much smaller amount of memory which apply to them?

  I have read the article below, but it did not help:

  VMware KB: Turn on/off a virtual machine fails with the error: impossible to extend the pagefile to 0 KB to xxxx KB

  Addition to the response of vuzzini - if you happen to run out of space on the data store, set a reserve memory for VMS to their important part push in memory, or just enough, until a swap file can be created on your designated storage space. The memory reserved quantity is subtracted from the .vswp file.

  If the host has 60 GB of memory in total, you will need of 2.6 GB Mem free for the hypervisor, more additional of 1270 MB - Let's say 1, 3 GB of RAM to avoid restoration of memorization techniques to indulge. In total, leave at least 4 GB of free for the hypervisor and spread the 56 GB remaining memory as reserves. It would be 18GB booking/VM.

• PowerEdge 2950 III w / Server2008 64 bit: cannot activate TOE

  I recently purchased a PowerEdge 2950 III with standard options, which includes a double NetXtreme II Broadcom nic with TOE capabilities. Due to some communication problems, it was delivered without active TOE and the TOE installed key. I installed Windows Server 2008 64 bit on it.

  After some time Dell send me a TOE key, and I off the server and installed it.

  In the BIOS, it now says "able TOE." In the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator it said ' able TOE: available 'and' enable TOE: 'Yes. But in the Broadcom Control Suite to unload his abilities he doesn't list that the LSO and CO, PINCH.

  I have tried several things:

  -J' ran "netsh interface tcp > set global chimney = on" to activate TOE

  -disabled the Windows Firewall

  -remove the Broadcom drivers and reinstall them (the more recent on the Dell site)

  -installed the SNMP functionality

  But I can't seem to make it work.

  TOE benefits to the whole Server 2008? If so, what am I doing wrong?
