Semi-Interactive automated esxi5.5 ISO install [solved]

All my host names line up with the ip address: 10.10.10.101, esx102.local = 10.10.10.102 = esx101.local.

I'm working on an installation by script based on iso that could ask the host name, and then configure the connection. Is this possible?

Thank you

Finally got this working, many thanks to William Lam.

Na no need to follow http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/05/semi-interactive-automated-esxi.html exactly with 5.5. Startup options are already written in the esxi_installer.log file by the installer. But it is written several times, so I have to do ' grep blah blah | -1 head ' to get just the first instance of startup options. Next steps will include the implementation of all the interfaces of vmk based on the nodenumber.

So my KS.cfg looks like:

root@deb7:~/esxiso# cat KS.cfg

AcceptEULA

rootpw asdf1234

install firstdisk - overwritevmfs

network - bootproto = static - hostname = tempname001 - ip = 1.1.1.251 - gateway = 1.1.1.254 - nameserver = 1.1.1.250 - netmask 255.255.255.128 - device = vmnic0 - addvmportgroup = 0 =

    Recently purchased Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, DigitalRiver upgrade (Yes, I posted it there first for the support) I downloaded the ISO file, it burned to a disc, had a perfectly easy time install and then I get the 'Type your Windows product key' and each time, the product key, they sent me by EMAIL and what fits my receipt on their site Web appears as invalid. Double, I checked my typing and had my fiance do the same thing. She has a degree of CS etc, so we know what we are doing. The product key is simply incorrect.

  • ISO Install Image

    I installed FreeBSD 7.1 and Ubuntu 8.10

    In both cases, I used an ISO to install and not a physical DVD / CD.

    (With FreeBSD uncompress of the safe gz takes too long... I used the native Mac decompress)

    Both were VM created on an external drive, whereas the iso file in each case, was on the internal drive.

    Later, after the start of each one... and after moved the ISO for the installation of the system file, I get this message:

    ... Virtual device ide1:0 will start disconnected.

    If I move the file ISO back to its original location when installing, I get the same message...

  • Automated kickstart install fails with no file or directory; ' / tardisks/net_qlcn.v00 '

    I try to install ESXi 5.5u2 via kickstart on an ISO. I added the CF and Eth drivers for the card to ISO using imagebuilder, and moves very well. If I then try to change the ISO with the kickstart file, updated the boot.cfg and isolinux.cfg, the installation will fail with the above error.

    Work:

    ESXi vanilla ISO, mount iso, install copy files to the directory add ks.tgz, boot.cfg, isolinux.cfg to the directory, create iso using genisoimage. Kickstart unattended installation.

    Work:

    ImageBuilder ISO with drivers 8242, interactive installation

    Does not:

    ImageBuilder iso, copy the Directory installation files, add ks.tgz, boot.cfg, isolinux.cfg to the directory, create iso using genisoimage. Kickstart unattended installation.

    Once the installation fails I can go down the directory tree and confirm that there are no net_qlcn.v00 in /tardisks.

    Andreas Peetz seems to have this problem with its gui customizer, but I think not that the fix posted by glroman apply here. =(

    At this point, it seems that the installer is not extracting the net_qlcn.v00 for some reason any

    Found the problem: my generation process used the same boot.cfg for each generation, rather than pull the boot.cfg out of the norm iso source and changes before the reconstruction of the iso.

  • Need help Reparing via USB/burned disc with ISO

    I need help, repair corrupted on my computer files.  I'll explain what are the errors I get and what I have done to try to fix.  Because I feel I have tried everything, I'm thinking to update or repair via a USB port or the drive with an ISO will solve the problem.

    Apparently, everything was going well on my computer until I updated to Windows 8.1.  After I updated, integrated into my laptop keyboard no longer works as well as many other problems of pilot.  I wrote chalk this up to compatibility problems and decided to contact Microsoft Live Help.  Unfortunately, the Microsoft representative could not solve the problem after checking my computer remotely.  They recommended that contact Acer (the manufacturer of my computer).
    After another Office remote access with Acer, they were also able to help me and led me to believe that my computer had been hijacked.  Because the way my computer working fine before the update, I refused the very persistent representative, encouraging me to spend $ 500 to the UN-hijack and install security software, which I already ran.
    1. If my first attempt to solve the problem has been completely re - install Windows 8.  I have reset the factory settings and deleted all the files associated with my computer.  This problem resolved most of the issues I had, including the broken keyboard.  Then I noticed that I was getting errors with Windows Smart Screen Filter and a quick search on this question led me to a few other suggestions.

    4. I searched in the Panel > troubleshooting but did not find anything of note.

    5 I also looked a little system information by typing msinfo32 in the command prompt.  Under software environment and looking at the system drivers revealed that about half of them have stopped as the State.

    Hello

    ·         You have the Acer recovery disk?

    ·         You have the product key Windows 8?

    ·         What is the brand and model of the Acer?

    Note: I highly recommend back up all your important files and folders on an external storage device before performing any type of repair operating system or upgrade.

    Given that Windows 8 has been pre-installed on your Acer computer. I suggest you to use Acer recovery disk to restore PC to factory settings. For more information, consult the phone manual or contact Acer technical support.

    If you must reinstall Windows 8 or you want to install it on one partition and you do not have installation media, you can create it using the installer of Windows 8. To create a support, that you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) that you want to install Windows 8 on PC. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.

    Note: If you do not have a product key for Windows 8, you cannot create the installation media. You cannot use a product key of Windows 8 for this.

  • ESXi5.5U2 - Patch03 on MacPro6, 1 - stuck on 'Initializaing ACPI.

    So I was wondering if someone else is having problems with this since VMware released the fix to take charge of the MacPro6, 1 a few weeks ago. I managed to created a custom ISO with PowerCLI to add the patch (ESXi550-201410001) and when I run the Setup it says build 2143827 which corresponds to this patch, so I'm assuming that the ISO is good.


    However, I'm running on an issue where when I start installation it freezes at "Initializing ACPI."... ». I started for MacOSX and there is no EFI or SMC update to apply.


    Specifics:


    VMware ESXi 5.5.0 - ESXi550-201410001


    MacPro6, 1

    8-core Intel Xeon ARE

    64 GB OF RAM

    Boot ROM: MP61.0116.B04

    SMC Version: 2.20f18


    Help or direction would be greatly appreciated.


    Thank you

    @Gortee

    Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the ACPI on the Mac that I know. It is not a traditional menu of BIOS on Mac OSX EFI.

    ----

    However, I managed to finally get ESXi5.5U2 - Patch03 installed and thought I'd share my conclusion in case someone else has the issue. In my case, I had MP61.0116.B04 as my Boot ROM, however there is no EFI updates available to bring it to version supported for ESXi of MP61.0116.B05. So I opened a folder with Apple Engineering and was informed that OS X Yosemite applies an EFI update that is not available other than upgrade to Yosemite. Then... I installed Yosemite who brought my Boot ROM up to MP61.0116.B07 and ESXi installed without any problems.

    Key take-a-ways...

    1. Need to Boot ROM MP61.0116.B05 or higher
    2. Upgrade to Yosemite you will come to MP61.0116.B07 = ESXi install SUCCESSFUL!
  • Packard Bell M3671: New installation will not leave my upgrade or install updates

    Hello

    My mother has a Packard Bell M3871. Recently, she had a problem she turn on the computer and the date would go to 01/01/2011 and not all startup applications start as the antivirus, etc. I decided to restore the system to factory settings. Worked well. The day following the date returned in 2011 and I was not able to use internet as he said the connection is not private and it was recommended to install updates. So I waited a few hours while he was looking for updates and without success. Continues the search now and find nothing. I even tried the upgrade to windows 10 but the GET installation stuck at 99% and after a manual reboot as usual, loads of windows 7.

  • Install Windows 7 on Satellite A300-1GC

    I got nearley two years ago to Toshiba dvd with windows 7 + all drivers for my computer laptop buit unfortunately I'm not home and I decided to upgrade Windows xp to Windows 7 so I have a few questions:

    1) there is a software (for Toshiba) that I can load after that I have ionstalled windows 7 that connect on the internet will be automately finde and download/install the drivers?

    (2) or by the way, I downloaded the files Zippes 12 I hope they are all the correct drivers for my laptop but it's hear someody who have the files name complite list I need to do?

    Last thing, I'm really scared to get in shape and rest with a computer laptop ko: (...) Thear is a utility that works in windows 7 that will update the bios without risk or u suggest staying with the bios I have now (that I got when I bought this laptop about 4 years ago.)

    Thank you to
    Helen

    Hello

    I have Satellite A300 and use it with Win7 32-bit for some time. At first, I must say that my machine still has original version of the BIOS as your one. It turns out that you need new BIOS if the laptop works well and stabile. Don t change anything.
    Back to your questions:

    (1) this application doesn't exist. After the fresh install of Win7, you must download every single driver, tool or utility and install one by one.

    (2) all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Here's my list how to install everything you need:

    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Adding Vista drivers:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

    My machine works perfectly with this installation order. Test it.
    At the end once more: BIOS update is not necessary so don't change anything.

  • cRIO 9068 + Scan Engine Support error - even if it is installed on the cRIO, after the deployment of error says his lack

    All,

    I have a cRIO-9068 I try to use the scan mode for. I have intalled all the latest drivers and software as explained. However, when I put my chassis to scan mode, then select deployment all, I get this error on my chassis and all my modules:

    "The current module settings require a NI Scan Engine support on the controller. You can use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to install a software package recommended NOR-Rio with NI Scan Engine support on the controller. If you installed LabVIEW FPGA, you can use this module with LabVIEW FPGA by adding an element of FPGA target under the chassis and drag and drop the module on the FPGA target element. »

    Everyone knows this or know why labVIEW does not recognize that the software is installed on my cRIO or is it not installed correctly?

    AGJ,

    Thanks for the image. I saw a green arrown beside all my pictures of chip and it seemed that meant that the software wasn't really being installed. I formatted my cRIO and did a custom install. My problem was that I had the two labview 2013 and 2014 installed and the cRIO put conflicting versions of software. After doing a custom installation and choose only the versions of 2014, my picture now looks like yours!
