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.

  • My concerns about installing ESXi on a USB Flash Disk

    Hello!

    There was a lot of messages about installing esxi hypervisor on a usb flash drive, what I've done and I think it's ok because there's no need to waste expensive disks for installation of a very light bone

    But I have a few questions and concerns in this regard. appreciate your answers.

    1 - first of all I can't find my DL380 G7 Server internal usb. can someone give me a link or a picture where he is exactly?

    2 - Suppose that after boot completely the host, something happens on the usb drive. If nothing happens? I think there should be nothing to worry about, because the hypervisor has been loaded into the memory of the server. Am I wrong?

    3 - my concern is to have backup and the ability to restore that very quickly. some time in the past I had a single esxi host. I used powercli and commands appropriate for configuration backup host (I think that the command was something like esx-cfgbackup or like that).

    so if the flash has been corrupted, I would replace it with another and restored the settings that

    but now I host 4 esxi and vcenter. should I worry about this? How should I have backup? I know that SQL backup database of vcenter and its certificate is sufficient to have a backup of the settings of vcenter but on those who are just to vcenter and which are on the host? just want to say, what should I do to be able to replace a faulty usb disk (esxi is on it) with a new and all get back to work as it was?

    Sorry if the questions are easy to answer. I'm just a beginner

    and sorry for my bad English

    Assuming that I don't have the license for the host profiles, what should I do?

    It depends on the complexity of the configuration of the host. You can back up the configuration of the individual hosts or just reconfigure reinstalled once. In a larger environment, you'd probably for example the hosts scripted installation.

    Because the server vCenter Server usually runs as a virtual machine, it is a good idea to do an image based backup (using backup vDR or 3 rd-party applications), and - in the case where you use a dedicated SQL Server - certainly back up the database. For the backup and restoration of vCenter Server, you can also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1023985.

    In the rare cases where an SD card fails, you can always vMotion virtual machines to another host and then reinstall the host with a new SD card.

  • A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

    Hello world.

    I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

    The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

    I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

    I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

    If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

    Hello

    Any questions on iTunes, the best place to ask the community Apple iTunes is their program, not Microsoft.

  • Question about installing standalone Agent in patched environment

    Hi all

    I have a question about the installation of an autonomous Agent of ODI, some information on the situation: I have Studio ODI 11.1.1.7.0 installed and configured. Everything worked fine until we have improved our environment from planning to 11.1.2.3.500 patch.  We had to apply the patch 18687916 for ODI solve some problems, but everything worked well again after that.  Now I need to install an autonomous agent to run scenarios in a batch, the agent will be on the same server as the ODI studio.  My question is can I run the installer and only select the autonomous agent then reapply the patch 18687916 or do I need to get out the patch 18687916 first, or something totally different? 

    Hello

    I think you should restore the 18687916 patch and then install the standalone agent, then patch 18687916 it.

    But wait answer of the guru.

    In my case, I did the thing above, and it works very well if it was my test environment.

  • I have a question about the ESXi upgrade using Update Manager...

    This is probably a stupid question, but I've never played and update ESXi using Update Manager.  We need to update ESXi ESXi 4.1 4.1 servers before vCenter 5.0 U1 from U2 (there is a known issue where the ESXi 4.1 servers receive the GROUP after upgrading vCenter to 5.0 U1).  We used HP ESXi image to install ESXi on our servers for new installations.  This image contains ESXi.1 U2 as well as the drivers of HP and CIM.

    4.1_U2_Oct_2011_ESXi_HD - USB-SDImgeInstlr_Z7550 - 00241.iso

    Can this same image HP ESXi 4.1 U2 that we used to install to new ESXi servers, be used to upgrade our 4.1 4.1 U2 ESXi servers using the Update Manager?  Or, upgrade package should be used for the upgrade?  Also, if an upgrade package must be used, is it OK to use one provided by VMware, or will be losing our HP specific drivers and CIM to do this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can import custom HP ESXi 4.1 U2 ISO in Update Manager (don't forget to use the latest version of June 2012, available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06) and update the hosts with her.

    In a second step, you can then import the last custom HP ESXi ISO 5.0 (available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM09) and update the hosts again with her.

    To be on the current ESXi 5.0 patch level you finally apply the latest patches from VMware via the Update Manager.

  • Satellite P200D-128 - Question about installed Norton anti-virus

    Hi, I bought a Toshiba Satellite P200D-128 last week and to say I'm majorly annoyed with Toshiba would be an understatement, and that understatement. Fine machine autoinstalled as its operating system, and I found I had Norton anti-virus installed, or at least I thought I had because a beautiful Norton logo quicklink arrived on my desk.

    In fact, only a partial shell of Norton installed and actually have an anti-virus properly functioning to connect on the site of Norton. This arrangement is just stupid, because I am well aware, surf the Internet without effective antivirus / anti-malware is not a question of if the computer will get infected, but when the computer will be infected.
    I have the experience to build my own desktop PC, and basically what I do is install an anti-virus package from the DVD drive with a front disc even connect the machine to the internet and then update the anti-virus software anti-virus Internet home before that I would all navigation on the web.

    Not only have a Norton Quicklink on the center of office crazy to think one has a functioning entirely anti-virus / anti-malware installed, but the partial shell of fools Norton also Windows Vista security in thinking there are a lot of anti-virus installed and it also disables the alert windows system that will remind the user of the computer if there is no antivirus installed package.

    This situation should never have been raised and I think it's a shame. Also criminal elements no doubt major behind the likes of malware, which struck upward on the ploy clever to have infected unsuspecting computer user with malicious software, which uses then the malware to put up a false messages of Windows operating system, which informs the user of the computer has been infected and asking them to download a fake anti-virus packages , must be particularly delighted with this situation, in that a user will be once they see such a message may well click the link of Norton and probably find their Norton is only a partial shell and then install one of the packages most likely fake anti-virus.

    If Toshiba and Norton had deliberately set to infect the computers of users with viruses and other malware, it is difficult to see how they could have done a better job of it, unless they had pre-installed viruses and malware themselves on the computer.
    I wonder, this case went to Toshiba and/or / attention of Norton and if so, what they had to say for themselves?

    Concerning the best and warm
    Adrian Wainer

    PS I forgot to mention that the partial shell package Norton also implements a toolbar in their browser, which reinforces even more the (false) impression that we have a fully functional package of the antivirus installed

    Hey Buddy

    I m bit confused about your ad and how you wrote this.

    I would like to mention a few facts:
    I m a Satellite P200 owner (it s even as P200, but with Intel the piece) and my laptop is equipped with the Norton Internet Security program.
    Of course, it s a subscription for 90 days, but it s a functional full version.

    Everything is pre-installed, but you need to configure and create a Norton account.
    I know because I read the instructions and information that are stored on my laptop.

    If you would in a full version of Norton Internet Security, you must create this account also.
    So you must connect to the internet also if you n t have an Antivirus Program preinstalled to set this up.

    Of course it must be updated also with the Internet because the antivirus definition file changes almost every time and the internet connection is required for this update.
    Why is it necessary? Because the image of Toshiba has designed several weeks ago and, therefore, the antivirus definition files is not updated.

    The same thing happens if you don t use the laptop for several weeks and don t perform the update of the operating system or antivirus.
    Don t wonder, therefore, you must connect to the internet to get everything updated.

    Please don t be angry with me, but I have my own opinion, you are one of the users who don t read the manual of the user or any other information that are equipped with Notepad and could be interesting for the use of the computer laptop but only start Notepad, install a few 3rd party apps and don t configure the operating system that is stored on the laptop.

    So I think that we could avoid this discussion if you read and check all detailed ;)

    Hey Buddy.

  • Question about ESX ESXi (for Cist_o ACS 5.2) vs

    Hello world

    Thanks again for your help in advance. I don't know if I can cite another company name in VMWare here so I use "_".

    Currently we want to install Cist_o ACS 5.2, who need ESX3.5 or 4.0. I would like to ask... do you think if I use ESXi instead? Or I have to use directly at ESX (not i)?

    Also, I try to buy a Del_ server... for this purpose, and I can not want to install several Windows 2003/2008 for the application, the domain controller, print servers. What type of processor and RAM would you recommend (for a performance so so)?

    Finally, what is the difference between license and without license for ESX and ESXi respectively?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Takami Chiro

    You can talk about Cisco

    You can not just replace with ESX ESXi - they are built on a different Foundation for the service console, which would probably not ACS funciton properly.  Contact cisco for the future on it, as all future versions of ESX (including the v5, the current version) are the 'i' version only.

    For the dell, its 100% depedent workload server.  If you have only a few users (less to, say 50), more a base quadcore with ~ 12 GB of RAM should be sufficient.

    ESXi is only available with a free license.  Here is the FAQ on the differences:

  • Qosmio F20-136 - Question about installing Linux in virtualization

    I have Windows XP MCE 2005, Ubuntu 8.10 & openSUSE 11.0 on my laptop F20-136 (triple boot).

    I intend to:

    0 save the partition Windows XP MCE 2005
    1. remove all the.
    2. install openSUSE w / Xen Virtualization.
    3. then create virtual machines to run backup Windows XP MCE 2005, new 8.10 of Ubuntu and other linux distributions.

    The questions are:
    1 F20-136 requires Windows XP MCE 2005 as its main operating system?
    I ask this question because I noticed that when I disable the builtin speakers in XP, I can't turn them on when I boot in openSUSE.
    So it seems to me that XP with Toshiba drivers and other software on Toshiba system has complete control over the material.

    2. will it affect Qosmio player?

    3. is there any other software virtualization is better than openSUSE w / virtualization Xen?
    I know MS Virtual PC, VMWare, VirtualBox.

    Please note that probably I don't want Windows XP MCE 2005 + virtualization (which will be my last option). I would like to have virtualization using Linux, openSUSE preference as he impressed me with his ability to (fast start/stop<= 45="">

    After further investigation, I think of virtualization VirtualBox which offers a bare metal solution, i.e. without operating system host is necessary.

    VitualBox (hypervisor) layer can be installed directly on the hardware, and then the virtual machines can be created for different operating systems.

    In this spirit, I have queries:

    Say I back up the entire hard drive (just in case the plan everything is the draw, I would restore the image of the entire hard drive), delete the contents of the entire disk, install VirtuaBox.

    1. let Qosmio player as well, which by my understanding, is 10 GB of free space somewhere on the hard drive?

    2. I would be able to install XP MCE recovery disk to create a virtual machine?

  • Question about installing CS6 Student Edition

    I bought the student Adobe cs6 about one year version, unfortunately at the time I made this purchase my laptop died. I recently graduated from College, but I was wondering if there is a window of time that I need to install more before I are no longer eligible as a student / or if I won't be able to install and register. Currently, I have a work computer, but do not want to install the program until I get my own computer. In addition, the number of devices can I install student edition on? If I need to install it before my student status expires, I would install on my work computer and I hope to get my own personal ASAP device and install it on that as well if possible. Thanks for the help.

    If you are a student, then you can install and use the software.

    For the installation on a computer work going, it is usually the company that employs you.  Most of the companies control what is and is not allowed to be installed on a computer they own.

  • Question about installing an SSD in my optical drive

    I'm looking for pulling on my optical drive and put in an SSD, because I was told it can do my slow Mac run very fast. My thought was that rather than spend on my existing hard drive, I would take the optical disc and install my SSD it (I've seen a lot of videos shows how to do this)

    My original hard drive offers 500 GB and also have a Windows partition, so I'm a little afraid to play with it, too... Adding an SSD will give me a feature from the application of some of the work for the SSD (such a start and some slower applications) to work only with a specific hard drive? And if I did start Mac on the SSD, should I uninstall and reinstall OS X on this new SSD?

    Sorry, I'm really new to all this. Any help is appreciated!

    My first step would certainly be in lieu of the HD with an SSD. Then assess where you are and what you think of your 'new' machine.

  • Question about installing WXP LAN Driver on Satellite Pro A120

    I have a Satellite Pro A120 (PSACIE) with Vista installed. I created a dual boot with XP Prof I seem to have all the drivers except the WLAN and LAN drivers. I have downloaded the LAN driver there is no setup.exe file. No problem, (I think, maybe someone out there knows differently?).

    I used Device Manager to load the file inf and intel pro/1000 PL network connection selected with the Hardware Installation Wizard. At the end the wizard said there was an error code 10 and that the device probably would not work properly.

    Can anyone help? It does not of course! By pure chance that I bought a port replicator, its LAN works with XP but do not work with Vista! (There is a hint here)

    Is it possible I can get details on the LAN device such as model, serial number? Any help appreciated gratefully.

    Hello

    Are you sure you used a right and support for driver LAN?
    Error code 10 is known to me and mostly it appears if the device cannot be started because the driver is not compatible

    Ok. To my knowledge, there are two different Satellite Pro A120:
    the unit of PSAC0E supports Lan Chip Realtek 8100 CL

    and the PSAC1E supports the chip Intel 82573 L (Vidalia)

    So, what phone do you use?
