• Impossible to install the guest operating system - no boot from CD

  I am definitely a newbie with VM. I installed ESXi 3.5 on an HP/Compaq ML370. Everything installed properly and I have created a virtual machine. I am trying to install a Windows Server 2003 operating system. I can't boot from the WIndows CD. In the BIOS of the virtual machine, I have the CD first in the boot order. In the settings of the virtual machine for the CD drive, I selected host drive and connect to market. When I turn on the virtual computer, it does not boot from the CD, it goes through startup options and then Reports, it cannot find an operating system. It seems that it does not recognize the CD drive. What troubleshooting steps can I take to do this?

  Another point, the ML370 is a G3, and I believe that the HCL for departures from ML370 G5 or higher, so I don't know if maybe it's a question.

  Thank you

  You must set the start time of your virtual machine

  Change the settings from-> tap Options

  You must set the time in milliseconds. Then turn on the virtual machine

  Place the CD into your CD drive and start the virtual machine for you to connect to your CD-ROM drive. If the domain controller is bootable, the virtual machine will boot from CD

• How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

  I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Please note, in order to install Windows 7, you must have a DVD player, if you have a CD-ROM drive, which will not work.

• Problem when booting from USB and bootable DVD

  I tried to boot from a bootable DVD to try Linux and install it. So pressing F9 to select the boot device, so I chose DVD ROM drive But it still does not start.

  Note: It starts on the first run. When I restart the PC and try again to start from the DVD, it jumps the DVD playback. Same thing happens with the USB key. I tried all USB ports.

  Another time all USB ports too and this pen drive work well and the DVD. Don't know what the problem is.

  Please tell me is there any problem with the BIOS?

  Thank you.

  In each market, unless F9 (for most HP computers and laptops) is selected to change the order, BIOS will look on the bootable devices (USB HDD, ODD,) in the order that they are configured in the BIOS settings.

  A usb device is not in the list of the BIOS boot order, as it is generally not available and only temporarily inserted.

• Need help please, bios sees the new hard drive but still cant boot from the cd-rom

  HI there, Im having some problems here. First of all, I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2 with BIOS A06. I replaced the original hard drive to 120 GB because I received a stop error code with a new 320 GB (000000 x 24 or somethinglike that) but after research I was convinced it was the reader. I installed the new drive and the BIOS sees it under drive as primary drive SATA configuration... It's good, I guess, but now when I go to the sequence of hard drive I get (1. Unknown device (not installed) 2. System BIOS 3 boot devices. (Not installed) USB device) why the drive is not displayed here?

  OK, so now when I try to boot from a CD-rom Home XP I get "strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility. I can't seem to get around this problem any time now. I can get it to boot from a floppy disk, but not the CD, why is this? The two CD-ROMs are appearing in the BIOS as second master and slaves. IM really stumped on this one, please help!

• Reinstalling Windows XP: Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: failure

  Hi all

  I'm trying to format my PC to reinstall Windows XP. I set the BIOS to select CD-Room as a first option, but when I restart the PC, instead of getting the message "Press any key to boot from CD", I get this "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: failure...» "and it starts to load Windows (who doesn't like then I get a black screen and can't do anything), but it won´t start the CD.

  I tried to insert the Windows CD in the DVD drive (I do not know if it would work), but when I press a key to boot from CD, I get a black screen with this message 'nocy zr intdis up trapdis', and then I can't do anything.

  The CD player works, as if I insert a music cd, for example, it runs. The Windows CD also works in the other PC. Any ideas how can I format my PC if the CD won´t run? Or ideas how to run if I get this message "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: failure...» » ?

  Thanks in advance.

• Performance problem with the guest operating system

  Hello gurus - I have one of the most unusual questions, I ran into a few time.   Here it is:

  I have a guest w2008R2 OS - installed in a 5.1 version of VM 7 vSpherer - which has an Emulex LPe 12002-E 8 GB dual HBA port is assigned to the as 2 PCI (1 device per port) via DirectPath devices

  The guest operating system has an application that performs backup tests.   WWPN of the HBA is zoned in the fabric and declared in the interface of Compellent Storage Center and everything is good here. the application creates a replay of a volume, mount it as a drive, read all the blocks, then dismantles and moves then repeat the process with what ever additional volumes should be safeguarded.   It is so cool I have do this with a VM right and not a physical host?  (would be cool if I had work NPIV but that's another story, not with technology HBA vendor support...)

  So, what's the problem?   Well, the bed the mounted disk backup will work extremely slow as slow as 5MB\sec flow, then during any other activity takes place on the system the flow jumps up to 150MB\sec all of a sudden and will continue to run fast for a long time and finish jobs on time with each work taking a little more than an hour.  But when the slow going the same work (all jobs are the same, they are simply by reading all the blocks of a bunch of 200 GB volumes and wrote a set of NULL value, do not forget this is just test) takes up to 10 hours to complete.

  I think that what is the culprit?   POWER MANAGEMENT.

  I have just about each performance counter and the journal of events known to man and I don't see anything abnormal on the table, ESXi virtual machine, nothing.  But what I see in the newspapers is any kind of activity that could happen in a transparent manner to save energy.

  FACTS on this case:

  -Reservation of memory is defined (it must be for directpath otherwise, you can't power on the virtual machine)

  -Booking CPU - has not been defined before an hour ago, I gave her just a small reserve for this rule, so I do not know if this will help alleviate the slow flow, or have an effect on what I think is a question of power (unit linked) management

  -windows power management is set to high performance never-ever - but not until an hour there doesn't I changed advanced settings for USB Disabled------turned off.  PCI peripheral energy saving setting was already off.  Which is in contradiction with my theory.  But maybe, just maybe, something is broken somewhere, or could be a bug... blah blah blah

  -the HBA, Emulex, as it appears in Device Manager in the guest OS doesn't have a power management tab to disable the feature, I don't see that the adapter VMXNET3 had this tab, and I turn off the power save setting to be conservative, do not think that it was the culprit, but as there is no real data running through the NIC.  The data is simply to be read from the disk mounted, not copied on any wire Ethernet.  never the less, in the Emulex properties is a Details tab and a selection of power data, and performance data indicate you what power mode, the device is, as well as feeding supported systems.  D0: full power, but D3, which shows as supported by the device, is an energy saving mode.   I could not yet attend the setting at the time of slow activity, my good intention as soon as possible. He is currently shooting in D0, full power.

  This is so what I have to offer on this, I hope that its just...   If I'm missing something, or if others have experienced this massive loss of unknown flow without reason and have resolutions, please share.

  If there is a way for me to disable power on the Emulex HBA management inform you please, I don't mind if I stop to enter the firmware, if that was even possible.  But if possible I would disable it immediately before any new tests are executed.

  The root cause of this issue has never been identified by VMware support which for me is a question of ugly.  Reservation of CPU for the VM using directpath IO with HBA installed in it corrected the problem.  I'd be leary with direct path IO.

• Avoid checking "the guest operating system has locked the door of CD-ROM. disconnect anyway and replace the lock?

  Using PowerCLI, I'm trying to create a script that logs off the CD player and affects the client machine and Passthrough IDE using the command:

  Get-cddrive - VM SRVVM616 - netscan02.kb.se | game-cddrive - nomedia - confirm: $false

  * (where SRVVM616 - netscan02.kb.se is the VM name in this case)

  But I can't get rid of an audit question that arises in vSphere Client:

  'The guest operating system has locked the door of CD-ROM...

  Unplug anyway and replace the lock? »

  The script hangs until I answered the question, and who does the idea of a useless script?

  How can I avoid this issue?

  Maybe the method I described in answer to the question! could help.

• Problem in installing guest operating system (Linux) on VMware

  Hello

  I just installed VM ware Workstation 7.1 on my linux machine. Now, I created the new virtual machine for linux on this subject, I did all the steps of pre. Now the problem is to come when the installation began, his can't me change installation settings (such as manually drive paritiion, RPM adds the withdrawal and other options. which normally comes when install us linux.) Same thing that happens when installing any linux flavor. I tried the two instllation of things CD or ISO image.).

  Operating systems that are supported by Easy Install are scripted by VMware and you get what you get, so if you want total control during the installation of the operating system, then do not use Easy Install, it's as simple as that!

• problems to receive a guest operating system

  Hello

  I have to be able to do a query on Windows 2003 virtual machines that use the BusLogic SCSI card.  However, I am having a problem just get the operating system of each guest.  Many guests (seems to be about 800 out of our 1200 guests) return a null value (I'd say less than 10 of them are turned off).  I tried with both the 1.0 version of the VI and also just upgraded to 1.5 to check that it has not been fixed.  Here again, I'm not 100% sure it's a problem with the Toolbox.  Anyway, that's what I've tried so far.

  First of all, I found a good virtual machine (vm1) and a bad VM (vm2).  I created two variables:

  $vm1 = Get-VM vm1name
  $vm2 = Get-VM vm2name
  

  Then I tried simply to list the property Guest.OSFullName of each virtual machine:

  $vm1.Guest.OSFullName <-- returned Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit)
  $vm2.Guest.OSFullName <-- returned nothing
  

  Other "guest" properties seem well as evidenced by the following output:

  "$vm2.Guest" returns:
  
  State          IPAddress            OSFullName
  -----          ---------            ----------
  Running        {1.2.3.4}
  

  The only other thing that I noticed (and I'm going to file a SR for the same problem when I am back in the office on Wednesday) is that if you view all virtual machines in the VI Client and guest OS type, there are a lot of things that just say 'unknown '.  I've noticed this on 2.0/3.0 and now I'm under U3 2.5 and 3.5 U3 everywhere.  If you simply to change the settings of the virtual machine and click OK (without making any changes to anything) it will fix the guest operating system 'unknown '.  If you click on the 'Options' of the section of edit VM settings tab, it shows the correct guest OS it.  However, after click on this tab by clicking OK causes an error message something to not be able to change this setting in the current state (power on).  Nevertheless, at the beginning I thought all the unknowns explained my missing Microsoft VMs, but there are more than 100 virtual machines or so that are listed as unknown, so I am always short way.

  Finally, I searched this topic on the forums and learned about the Get-VMGuest cmdlet, which I managed for ever noticed before.  So, I tried the following:

  $vm2 | Get-VMGuest
  

  And got the same results as above (shows its power status and the IP address, but any type of OS).  VM1 works very well with the above code.

  Does anyone have ideas on this?  I even buried down and use Get-View and pulls the. Property Guest.GuestFullName out and it is also empty.

  Hi Allen,.

  I've never known tools that are so far out of date that you do not get a guest operating system, but I wouldn't be surprised it. You should always be able to get out the Tools version number in any case (even if not Get-VMGuest in this version).

  There is a significant difference between these people that the prompt that signals the VMware Tools is the real guest OS. The comments you get Get - VM or Config.GuestFullName is the value that is set when creating the virtual machine. This value cannot be identical to the real host. For example, I could create a virtual machine, select Windows 2003, and then install Redhat on it. In this case, Get - VM would net the VM as a machine virtual Windows while the tools would (correctly) reported as Redhat.

  In general, use tools when you can. If you don't get given tools, it can be wrong.

• Problem with booting from a cΘdΘrom-Satellite A10 - S513

  I have a laptop, Toshiba Satellite A10-S513, who does not want to start from the CD.
  To crystallize the problem, when I want to move the arrow (right or left) to access the CD-ROM icon in Start menu, nothing will be selected and it starts automatically from the HARD disk. I tried to change the startup configuration, but I couldn't because the choice of start-up has been grayed out, although I use the account controller BIOS.
  What should I do to enable booting from CD, taking into account the fact that I had done the CD several times starting.
  A few tips:
  I upgraded the operating system win XP Home to XP Pro and then installed Service Pack 2.

• Cannot boot from the CD-ROM drive

  I have a Dell Dimension 9100.  Operating system is Windows XP.

  The CD-ROM drive works great for playing CDs and recording stuff, but I can't boot from it.

  Everything is fine with my computer at this time, it starts fine from the HARD disk, but I anticipate before when I need to use Acronis image rescue media under my method of recovery after a disaster.

  For some reason any does not start my 9100 the drive, even after changing the BIOS boot sequence to insert 1.  My Dimension 4400 starts the CD player without problem.  4400 boots even in the backup media created in the 9100.

  I carefully followed the instructions in the Dell knowledge base article "How to configure a Dell Dimension series system to Boot to the CD drive", does not.  I opened the folder and reinstall CD drive connections.  In addition, I am at a loss.

  I hope someone can help me get this right.  Thank you.
