SATA storage VMware hypervisor

Hi, I'm building a new server that I intend to install VMWare Hypervisor (ESXi 4.x) on but it will be 3 x 500 GB SATA hard drives formatted in RAID 5 and hot-swappable. It will work ok for my VM storage on? I am mixes your comments.

Thank you very much

N ° the 3Ware does not show the State of health; However, there is a command line tool (tw_cli) that can be installed directly on ESXi (version 3Ware ESXi download - sorry I don't have the link). Our plan is to write a script in Nagios to run the tool via ssh and analyze the results. This is a DIY hack. The Dell PERC would be easier to deal with.

Technical support 3ware is usually very helpful. They have ESXi drivers for their cards that may be installed on ESXi embedded. The cards are real RAID with battery backup. Buy batteries separately.

    Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?

    The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option).  This will keep the same UUID.

  • hardware RAID controller of VMware hypervisor 5.0

    Hello!

    We intend to buy HP Proliant DL380 G7 with 4 HDD hot swapable, now what I want to do is to configure this 4 HDD for RAID 1 + 0

    1. If I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 5.0 do I need to buy a hardware RAID controller, to be able to install ESXi 5.0?

    Thank you

    Michael

    Yes, if it is one of the 3 models mentioned in the section "storage controller."

    Models of HP Smart Array P410i/Zero Memory Controller (RAID 0/1/1 + 0)
    Base models HP Smart Array P410i/256 MB controller (RAID 0/1/1 + 0/5/5 + 0)
    Models of performance HP Smart Array P410i / 1 G FBWC controller (RAID 0/1/1 + 0/5/5 + 0)
    Available upgrades: 1 G FBWC 512 MB FBWC, 256 MB, 512 MB with BBWC, battery set level (for 256 MB cache) and Smart Array Advanced Pack (SAAP)

    then the controller hardware RAID (P410i) is already included and you can only get the FBWC.

  • Windows 7 SATA storage driver hp pavilion dv6

    Hello

    I recently bought a new drive hard and continuously an error message when I try to install the software for it. This is the exact number, I have: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11713

    I confirmed that the BIOS is locked in AHCI on my laptop model, so the solution is to upgrade the storage SATA driver to the latest Microsoft native driver, but I don't know how to do this. The only driver available on my system is "Intel(r) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller '.

    Help, please!

    Hello!

    You used the 3.5.5.3795915 Workbench that is defined for vSphere 2016 beta!

    Use 3.5.3 Workbench for your esxi, VMware ESXi 6.0.0 Update 2 and everything should be ok

    I would pass this test with Workbench 3.5.3 and esxi 6.0 GA (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2494585.x86_64)

  • VMware hypervisor 5 license returns to the mode of assessment on reboot

    I have a current execution machine hypervisor and I installed the license via the vmware vsphere client, configuration tab and it shows under license. I can view the logs of system on the host itself and see that the license is installed under display support information.

    The question is when I turned off the hypervisor, rear power on the server returns to the mode of assessment and I lose my vm. I then have to recreate the virtual machine and under Select a disk, use a previously configured disk.

    What happens in the devil, I am doing wrong?

    I would like to do a reinstall of ESXi.  There is something wrong with the installation because /altbootbank is not mounted.

  • Upgrade test lab to U4 - lost access to the premises of SATA storage

    Wonder if anyone has seen this when upgrading ESX of U3 to U4.  My laboratory ESX servers are based on the motherboards desktop, the ASUS P5E-VMDO (processors quad core, 8 GB RAM).  All the way up to and including the 3 update, installing ESX recognized the SATA controllers on board and I was able to use the local VMFS partitions.  In fact, this is where I had installed my Lefthand Networks VSA SRM test and demo-ing.  The upgrade to U4 has apparently updated drivers SATA for ESX and server does not see the SATA controllers on board.  The laboratory is still quite functional due to the Openfiler SAN I, but I can choose to downgrade to U3 ESX hosts, unless I can find a solution, so I can always access the local storage.

    Anyone got tips?

    Assuming that you do not use a RAID function on board with your SATA, see if your system BIOS has an option to portray the ICH9 controller as something else - achi if it is avaiable or portray SATA in IDE, if it's available and see if ESX 3.5 Update 4 it resumes after a reboot. You'll want to write to its original position first before making changes if you can put if none of this works.

    Hello

    I've got Qosmio F30-140 and I tried to install Windows 7, but as usual windows 7 found no preparations.

    So I hope to find a solution with someone.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The Qosmio F30 supports the RAID controller.
    You must therefore RAID driver and not the driver SATA.

    You can consult the page of the European driver Toshiba. There is a RAID driver for the Vista operating system.
    You can try to use it under Win 7.

    If this does not work you can disable RAID in BIOS.
    I think you might find these settings on the 3rd page of the BIOS.

    How you are trying to install W7?

    By a DVD or USB flash drive?

    If a drive flash USB, make sure that plug you into one of the USB2 ports.

    It will not work in a port USB3.

    You also made the necessary changes to the BIOS so that you can install windows 7?

    Windows 7 is not compatible with secure startup.

    Check out this guide to what the BIOS settings must be changed.

    This is true when you use the binary translation, which is increasingly rare.

    The hypervisor has the IDT, so it gets the control every time that the guest of the vectors through the IDT.  The hypervisor also has the SYSCALL/SYSENTER MSRs, so it gets the control whenever the customer uses the syscall or sysenter instruction.  Basically, the hypervisor intercepts all transitions of comments from cycle 3-ring 0.
