Problem installing VMWare ESXi on PowerEdge 1950

Hi - I am trying to install ESXi on a PE1950, with a disk 2 RAID 1, PERC 5i controller config, but when starting ESXi image I get the following error:

"Could not find a device suppored to write the ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 image '"

I tried to get this error with little joy.  This server was not pre-ordered with ESXi embedded - that is the problem?

However elsewhere that I've seen posts where people have installed ESXi on older models of PE successfully.

Thanks in advance

Phil

  • I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

    I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

    I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

    Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.

  • Problem installing vmware in Ubuntu 11.10 tools

    I've upgraded from vmware workstation 7 to 8 on a windows 7 pro workstation. I've added to my VM - 11.10 Ubuntu guest. Now I have a problem installing vmware tools.  That's what I did:

    ((1) installed Ubuntu 11.10 CD in the drive, 2) open vmware and Tools CD added to office.  (3) connect you open terminal window.and.  Since I'm new to Linux, I'm stuck on how to set a password.  I type sudo passwd root, and I can't type anything in the window.

    Ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    You have two questions unrealated

    (1) with respect to the OS - Ubuntu 11.10 - these shoud guest invited on ubuntuforums.org Creafe a connection there and ask in the beginner's forum.

    Tip - You don't really have need a password for root in Ubuntu.  Use you sudo to run root permisssions wherer programs are needed.  He said on top of each terminal.

    (2) you have any questions on how to install VMware Tools in a Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) Guest.  You most certainly need assistance with this.  In the toolbar of the program, you will see a tab called "Help".  It only contained other information you are looking for.

    See the sections on VMware Tools.   They are really useful!

    Tip: You do not use the OS installation disc that you used to create the virtual machine. Look closely under the VM tab at the top. There will be an option in the drop-down list that says "The Install Vmware Tools" you need to select this option.  The insatll will be mounted as if by magic in SLE directory/Media in the comments.  Copy the tarred on this cdrom in / tmp.  Then naviagate (carefully) in / tmp and unpack the file you copied.  Carefully change (look at you spelling - do what I say - not as I do in this post!) to the directoyrf that was created.  Exceute as su (i.e. root - like in the 1 trick.)  the .pl program wiil be contain breast.  Technically, this is called a "script" don't forget to put a. / before the script name or the bad dthing don't know he lives there.  He will ask youj on many issues.  Answer Yes to all these thatg you can.  Most likely, he will say he does not find the gcc compiler (gcc to learn more about the new program of thisbrfand the man.  He complains of missing headers.  Exit the script (Ctrl + c).  Run a progarlm (as root!) called apt - get.  Type the command apt - get install build-esseential.  Thatt is going to install the compiler you need!   Yes still needs to install the header ogical file well! Phew!  The best way I found to do this is to install a nifty program called synaptic. Use apt - get install synaptic.  I think that Ubuntu even comes with a somewahat more easy to program called apt - get it will tell you and have fun there no Super Powers mean if you type an incorrect order!   I digress from the subject.   So, you can use use "sudo aptitude install synaptic l.  Now issue the command uname - r.  He sleeps on the same kernel you use since I use Ubuntu 11.10 asI type while I'm about to uplgrade to the very scary Ubuntu 12.04.  You don't want to do it yourself.

    3.0.0 - 12-Generic

    Now launch Synaptic.  There will be a message the first time on the program expalining.  If you want to see it every time to understand this program if y0ou forget don't check the box saying you don't wang to see this every time.  BTW youi will be asked for your root passworfd to run the program.  Hope you rfemembered it!

    In any case in the search box copy, then paste the result above (one that ends with - generic - but anything copylthe) there will be l be a long list of items, but choose the one that has the string above and the word "headers".  Insatll who.  After all it can return to the order which took end. / pl and run it once more.  Answere questions.  It will end with the encouraging words (you can take advantage of the VMware Tools.  Then, run the command - vmware-toolbox as it says.

    F well there you have it in short.  My price for Linux and Mwar advice is reawsonable please contact me at one of my addresses, alias - [email protected] and we can talk about payment.

  • Problem installing VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012

    Hello

    I have problems when trying to install VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012. Windows Server is Amazon EC2 environment and a generic image extended release.

    The problem is that the installtion process fails because of "Hyper-V" during installation, but after investigating the option "Remove roles and features" I can see that it is not installed.

    Is there any fixes for this issue?

    I enclose three screenshots for you pleasure.

    Regards, Ray...

    Hello Ray,

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.

    You run an EC2 instance that has just 615 MB memory installed?

    It's kind of a weird for a host, much too low for Amazon memory configuration, even be profitable.

    I think that your server is running UNDER Hyper-V, for example. It is probably a Virtual Machine.

    You can easily check that yourself by running the script from this site:

    How Hyper-V to: detect if you are inside a virtual machine

    If it's a Hyper-V virtual computer then I don't think you can install VMware Workstation on the virtual machine and run the nested clients.

    You could do the opposite (invited running hyper-V in a workstation virtualized on vSphere) but is not very fast.

    As you have no control over which platform virtualization Amazon use for their windows servers, I'm afraid you will have to go for a dedicated server instead of a virtual machine.

    Hope this helps,

  • Problem installing VMware Player

    I wanted to install VMware Player for some time, but whenever I tried to install it on my computer, I found a bug in the installation script.

    Immediately after you click 'Next' on the "Installation of VMware Player" screen, I get a "script error":

    An error has occurred in the script on this page.

    > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

    After this error message, the installation hangs at this point.

    I use it on a Windows 7 desktop machine.

    Have experience you this problem?  What are my options for installation?

    I appreciate any help you can lend.

    Do yourself a huge favor and change the MS beast by default folder %TEMP%.  Remove the user folder-specific and TMP % environment variables so just leave the system those - who are the shortest paths and don't contain strange characters, which will often screw up installers.

  • Just installed vmware ESXi 4.0.0.  Also have Workstation 6.5 I have a few questions here...

    Good day, I am new and vmware esxi virtualization in general...

    I installed the server esxi 4.0. and I want to welcome a few virtual machines on this server. I tried the ViCLient and really like it. But this customer is a 60 day trial and it costs $ 1,000 per license, if I understand correctly...

    I also have the Vmware workstation 6.5 software.

    My main goal for this is to be able to import and export on the esxi virtual machines, create snapshots, export these snapshots, etc... I'm not too familiar with Workstation 6.5 so, but so far, it does the job in terms of export and imprting vms from the ESXi. But I would like to be able to browse the data store, create virtual machines on the esxi without having to create them locally AND export to ESXi...

    I would like to be able to create, manage, copy, create and import/export snapshots, to/from the esxi, but I guess you can't do all this using VmWare Workstation? I would buy the Vsphere CLient, but I'm not one who has a hand on the budget of COMPUTING...

    When you access download ESXi you license number appears near the top of the page. Enter this number in the Configuration tab under license vSphere client.

  • Problem installing VMWare Server - code 1603

    I thought that I would see how far I could get with the help of VMWare to set up a temporary database server on my machine. However, I couldn't even in what concerns installation, it seems!

    My machine is a server on a corporate network and WIndows XP (SP3). My user account has the rights of a local administrator on the computer, and I installed a number of other things on this machine without problems of access rights.  However, when I try and install VMWare on my machine I get a box of selectionneret indicating:

    Setup cannot continue. The installer of Microsoft run-time DLL could not complete the installation

    Further investigation on the newspapers donnГ the log file attached, the outline that attracted my interest being:

    Bootstrapper: 07/09/09 16:32:20 no upgrade is necessary. Version of the system meets the minimum requirements

    What led me to the following Knowledge Base article:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1009167

    So I tried to restart the machine, check if VMWare products were still installed (they weren't), delete all the entries in VMWare on the registry and I tried to reinstall. But nothing helps, the same problem happened again.

    I even following the link in the article KB http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555175 and tried method 1 (cancellation of registration and re-registration of the Installer) but there is nothing either.

    So I'm a bit of a loss what to try next door get VMWare Server 2 installed on my machine. I already had to VMWare Server 1 is installed on this machine (again, using the same login user) but removed during the case to install VMWare Server 2. Currently, I don't have any VMWare products installed on the machine.

    Thanks for all the suggestions!
