Reference Dell customized version of ESXi 5.5

I just bought a Dell PowerEdge T320 for a virtualization host laboratory and installed custom Dells 5.5 ESXi hypervisor leave (dell.com) on the bare metal.  My question is did anyone know how this license since it has not been downloaded from the vmware.com website?

Can I go out with ESXi installation directly from vmware and more later manually installed drivers for compatibility with the Dell hardware?

Thank you!

Reference custom Dell uses 5.5 ISO ESXi a normal VMware ESXi key provided by VMware license.  A normal installation of ESXi 5.5 it's already contains Dell drivers if you don't have to worry to inject drivers later, etc.

  • Reference Dell Custom Image for Vmware ESXi 5.1

    Hello

    where can I find the custom image Dell for ESXi 5.1.

    I can only find the ISO Images for 5.0 (4.1). But none for 5.1. Unfortunately the original ISO Vmware image will not work because it does not find a NETWORK card in my Dell R420. Which seems to occur as long as the original image from Vmware does not include the card driver NETWORK Dell to the R420.

    I saw that today there is a download section at support.Dell.com for ESXi 5.1 with about 36 files to download. But no ISO Image for ESXi 5.1 as it is 5.0 and before.

    Hope someone can help or knows how Dell will bring the custom image.

    Thank you!

  • Reference Dell M620 and M820 ESXi 5.1 installation

    I'm relatively new to VMware on Dell hardware. The closest thing that I believe to a custom image is 'VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 Image Recovery"(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=RD5JN). I assumed it to be ESXi 5.1 update 1 with favorite Dell specifc driver packages. I had planned to use this new installs feeling that it would include the latest drivers for my Dell M620 and M820s and would be preferable to base VMware image.

    1. It is the support for the installation of these blades?
    2. The description says « Ce ISO image should only be used to restore/reinstall VMware ESXi on image for SD Card/USB Key on the supported Dell platforms. »
      • I am confused by the specification 'only' restore/reinstall and not install.
      • Also confused by the mention of the only card SD and USB to the apparent exclusion of standard hard drives.

    I installed with it as a test and it looks good, but I'm uncomfortable with the description. I would be grateful for any additional information or insight to those who support ESXi in Dell stores.

    Hi vmproteau,

    Here are my answers to your question based on my experience. I have no experience with the M620 or M820 I manages around 240 M610, 60 R710, the R720 10, so I am familiar with Dells ESXi 5.1 servers update 1.

    (1) Yes, I would recommend using the ISO provided Dell printer if you are not familiar with creating your own package with the necessary drivers and firmware.

    (2) this ISO standard will include all drivers for supported Dell servers and some customizations of Dell and can be used for new installations regardless of the storage (SD, USB or HD Local) option. I would like to look out for is mainly to make sure that you update the firmware on all of your blades with the most recent available by Dell that ESXi is very picky with the pilot and also incompatible firmware Dell CMC with thanks to a few mistakes from time to time.

    Kind regards

    Thank you!

    If you compare the checksums indicating by Dell for these two files, you can see that they match. This means that they are the exact same download/file.

    The Dell custom ESXi A01 ISO 5.5 is the latest I know.

    The two mentioned have been added with ESXi 4.1 Update 1 vibs, but have been removed in later versions. Unless you need these drivers for your hardware (which I do not), you can follow the recommendation on the screen. See also http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2009014

  • Reference Dell WinPE 5.0 driver CAB

    I have SCCM SP1 R2 and the Dell customer integration Pack 3.1 2012.  When I try to import the ACR 5 of WinPE from the SCCM console, it fails with 'the selected driver package is incompatible.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  My understanding is that SCCM R2 supports Win 8.1, which is what Win PE5 comes.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Tony,.

    Reference Dell Customer Integration Pack 3.1 is not support SCCM SP1 R2 2012. CAB WinPE cannot be imported via CPID 3.1 and it has to be injected for the boot image. Also try the last 5.0 WinPE that is available in the link below

  • R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

    That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

    www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

    www.Dell.com/.../manuals

    indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

    Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

    I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

    ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
    Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

    megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

    Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

    This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

  • Is it possible to upgrade 5.5 to custom Dell 5.5 Ao1 esxi esxi?

    We have a Dell R410 wich has been improved from 4.1 to 5.5, the regular installation cd has been used instead of a Dell custom one.

    Q: is it possible to upgrade the current installation with the version of Dell (including the necessary drivers..)?

    I'm sorry - you were clearly the first time. I'm just not well enough "read.

    I can talk to a using a CD Manual installation method.  It works very well to keep your existing configuration.  When we give you the opportunity to choose, just be sure to choose the upgrade option.

    If you find that the drivers has not installed by using this method, retrieve it from the Dell ISO (or download them directly) and use the command esxcli vib install software or Update Manager.

    I hope this helps.

  • Compatible version of ESXi for PowerEdge 860?

    Are you looking for my current configuration of the virtual machine to a re-usable, configuration of the VM and I try to be on the latest version of ESXi who will consider my PE 860, and if there is anything in particular, I have to do to make it work.

    I found the custom Dell ESXi files but I don't know if I should use these versions or just stick with a version of VMware.

    Thank you.

    ETA: PE 860 to the 1 x 2.4 GHz Xeon Dual Core and I'm only under a single SATA HDD inside SATA_0, can add another in a clean future.

    Hello johnnydotexe

    We have not validated the 860 for any version of VMware. I just searched and found messages from customers installing up to ESXi 5.0. There is not much difference between 5.0 and 5.5 latest about hardware compatibility, so I don't see a reason why you cannot install 5.5.

    I suggest using our ISO custom. Even if we do not support VMware on the 860 many pilots are used across multiple products, so there may be drivers for the 860 material available on our drive.

    Since this is not a validated configuration I suggest you be aware, there will likely be some quirks, and it is not recommended to run configurations not supported in a production environment.

    Thank you

  • Reference Dell M1000e + aggregator MI/O port mapping

    Hi all

    I intend to install a new chassis Dell M1000e with Dell M/o aggregator. During the time of solution, I have a few questions about correspondences between the physical uplink with NDC blade ports ports. A Please check the config below and specify my queries?

    My hardware:

    • 1 x Dell M1000e
    • 2 x M i/o aggregator (A1 & A2)
    • 16 x M630 Blade (Qlogic 57840 S ANC four ports card)

    Reference DELL M/o aggregator:

    (reserved for Future use) module QSFP + 2 ports (Port No1:33 - 36 & No2:37 Port-40)

    I want to use these two modules for my blades 4-port Quad and the confusion I had, how to associate these 16 ports (8 ports of each module) to the server blade and the amount of bandwidth I will get by blade with redundancy.

    Module 4-port SFP + 10 GbE (Flexi-O of the Bay) (Port No.: 41-48)

    Module 4-port 2/4/8 Gb FC FlexIO (Flexi Bay 1) (Port No.: 49-56)

    FYI - I would like to install ESXi 6.0 on all blades

    Thank you!!

    Oriented server ports are configured automatically as part of the aggregation of links groups if the server is configured for the LACP Protocol. Static GAL is not supported.

    You will use the segregation network VLAN. A VLAN for network traffic and the other for the CF. Here are the commands to configure interfaces for different VLANS.

    Unidentified:

    Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

    Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # vlan unidentified 4

    Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

    Tag:

    Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

    The tag vlan Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # 4

    Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

    Traffic from servers will follow the path of the VLAN. For example, if an internal server, facing the port is set to VLAN 4, that traffic will be transmitted on the uplink port which has also set to VLAN 4.

    By default, all external ports are placed in a single whole LAG. However, you can change the configuration to support several shifts of uplink. Page 159 of guys configuration takes you step by step on setting up several shifts of uplink.

    The aggregator automatically configures to match the FCoE parameters used in the switches to which it connects through its uplink ports. FIP snooping is automatically configured on an aggregator. Automatically configured port channel (LAG 128) works CWF port mode. See page 86 for more information and examples of config.

    For redundancy, you could stack the units together. 241 page details the process of stacking.

    Page 54 of 102 of the Guide blade IO has one other diagram that details more internal server port mapping for each blade.

  • DELL CUSTOMER SERVICE DECLINED TO SET VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE

    I called customer service to ask questions on potentially to replace my laptop (new) due to recurring BSOD due to errors such as 'video_tdr_error' and 'video_scheduler_internal_error '. I have tried all possible troubleshooting technical or fix suggested and they all failed. I called Dell customer support number, and after talking with several technicians from several ministries, subsequently has been rerouted to French software. After activation of the remote control of my laptop, Alphonse (my touch software support) ran some scans, discovered the problem (a problem related to ngdms64.sys) and then told me that she could not fix the problem, unless I bought a "warranty hardware and software" which would be the last three years and six months and would cost me $347,00. If anyone else has experienced this? I can't find any evidence of a software warranty option in the Dell website or their warranty policy. Why? What is going on?
