Problem trying to install esxi on HP Proliant DL380 G7 5.1 - don't start of media

Hello, pretty new VMware and trying to build a test lab while studying the review.  Facing a problem already in step 1.  Hoping for help.

I downloaded VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.1.0 - 799733.x86_64.iso site.  Loaded on a USB key (also tried CD) and tried to boot from it on the server, but not likely to recognize it.  Server has no OS installed and running RAID1.

I give probably not enough necessary information then let me know what other info I need to be able to help.

Thank you!

sk713,

While using that iso should work I would recommend for your HP Server using the oem version of HP esxi5.1. You can find this iso located here: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/vmware/esxi-image.html . Using the OEM makes most of the time because all the specific drivers of HP will be preloaded into this version. Also, if your make a USB ISO I would recommend using rufus located here http://rufus.akeo.ie/ to generate your key usb. In addition, stating what is obvious, but you need to make sure that you select boot from usb or DVD when your system starts.

    Bruce,

    Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

    If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

    You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

    Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

    Hello

    I have a problem when trying to install Win7,

    Once I booted and the screen "Windows is loading files", it stuck at "Starting windows" screen even then microsoft logo does not appear.

    I just leave it about 1 hour with the hope for the process to continue, but usless.

    Clean installation of Microsoft DreamSpark-Academic Institutions and with the same source, it worked the last time ago about 1 year (32-bit).

    But now I'm trying to install a version of Win 7 64 bit.

    EDIT: SYS INFO:
    CPU: Intel i3 M370

    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
    Brand BIOS TOSHIBA Versin 2.0

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t see any reasons for Win 7 64 bit installation is not possible.
    In case you want to install Win 7 on this laptop, you should first check the BIOS settings.

    To go into the BIOS, press F2 during the turn on/off the unit.
    There should be a startup mode option. You can switch between the AHCI mode and compatibility mode. In which case you would use compatibility mode, the HARD disk performance would be slower.
    So make sure the AHCI mode is used.

    Finally, I would recommend checking the installation using a common Microsoft Windows disk.

    By the way: you wrote that the laptop uses 6 GB RAM (1 x 2 GB + 1x4Go)
    In your case I would remove a RAM module upgrade and would like to try to install the Windows operating system using the original configuration.

    I think you are talking about the same problem which has been reported previously, on the 32-bit drivers included in the ICS and JB ROM updates   I copied the previously displayed summary below.  Note that this is how the drivers were packed when khanning got them; It has just included in the package.

    ------------------------------------------

    If you talk to install the windows install the drivers (NvidiaUsb.inf) to a nvflash to K1, there is a known issue with the package for 32-bit Windows systems. In the NvidiaUsb.inf file, in the section titled "Section Source Media", he gives the name of the subfolder for the 32-bit drivers as "\i386. However, in the zip file, this 32-bit driver subfolder is named 'x 86 '. To correct the problem, either unpack the zip file, then the subfolder to rename the "x 86" (in the "drivers" folder) in the "i386", or even change the "NvidiaUsb.inf" (in the "drivers" folder) of the file and change the line that says "1 = % DISK_NAME%,,,\i386" instead of saying "\x86' at the end. Assuming you are on a 32-bit Windows system, try to install it again and it should work.

    Note on installation, stopping at Partition 12 - many people have managed everything by repeating the installation, sometimes 2 or 3 times.  I don't think that the problem is related to the Windows drivers.

  • UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

    Hello world

    I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

    In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

    Hoping someone could help me.

    Llianovich,

    Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

  • Question about installing ESXi 5.5

    I'm new to VMware and I tried to install ESXi 5.5 on some hardware that I need to build a test environment to home.  I know that some of my hardware is not on the supported list, but I have worked and now faced with a situation that I don't understand.

    I have a processor intel Core i3 4130 running on a card mother B85 based.  I seems to have a problem with the VTx - d settings in the bios and that you must use noIOMMU to get the installation to run.

    When I run the file .iso installation disc or usb image I go to the screen that says download now the client and to manage the server.  The strange thing is that along the way, I'm never asked what hard drive to install to, and it does not install on a hard drive.  It loads just for memory and runs from there, I think I can run this because all the hard drives are connected to the SATA3 and not SATA2 ports.  Could it be simple or is it the result of hardware compatibility problems, a simple change of SATA port will not fix?

    As someone can tell me what noIOMMU done or where I can find this information for me.

    Thank you

    Ted

    Found!

    It turns out that, as a result of information found in the thread Re: i7 - 4770 K Haswell core - ESXi5.1 hang "initializing IOV" is what made me.  The last message says to delete what is on the line and add noIOMMU to the line.  Delete what was on the line caused the installer to does not work.  Leaving the "runweasel" and adding let Setup and I'm good.  I guess not knowing what I was doing at all, let me make a mistake so simple, who would have thought to check it out.

    In any case I now have ESXi installed in running and so time to play and learn.

    Thanks for the help.  I'll probably looking more as I go.
