• No blue screens SP1 Windows Server 2008 R2 after the deployment model

  Hi all

  I searched around forums and google to see if someone else has fallen on this, but I can't seem to find anything.  I have a 4.1 ESX 1 environment with vCenter 4.1 update 1

  I created a new system of Windows Server 2008 R2 and it patched for the last levels without SP1.  I cloned then it to a model.  When I deploy a server through this model with customizations (new SID), blue ect just system screens and goes in a reboot of the endess.  If I have the model with no customizations are deployed, it works fine.  It seems the new sid or something that's a waste.

  Any thoughts?

• ESXi with Windows Server 2008 Vm for the new product that has power...

  I'm creating a new product with the host operating system being ESXi and several virtual machines, including two Windows Server 2008 SMV.  This product has power cuts regular and virtual Windows machine doesn't start up without intervention from the console.  Can I configure ESXi or the Windows virtual machine to manage power cuts?

  Yes, if you want to manage power failures on the way down (off), you will need an inverter with a kind of function of network downtime.  I use rackmount APC inverters with their client to stop network installed on each virtual machine.  He takes care to stop the virtual machines.

• Drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

  PE1950, 2950 and MD3000i MPIO on Windows Server 2008 R2

  We're trying to nail a few dates to migrate our W2K8 R2 platform and plan the project.  We have most of our technical plans in place, and we have the code.  We have no Dell drivers however and there are several suspicious communications from Dell on this topic...

  Case #1: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/insideit/archive/2009/08/10/ready-for-the-transition-dell-provides-support-for-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

  Note:

  • Our engineers have missed on countless piano recitals, songs and episodes of American Idol while spending thousands of hours of testing and validation to make sure that dy products Dell running Windows Server 2008 R2 are the business-rea.
  • We have pilot complete support for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Dell hardware so you can deploy, run and manage easily. You can go here to download the drivers.

  If you view the service labels in our support of similar product groups, you will find an R2 option for servers... but the only public services on the PowerVault MD3000i you don't find any reference to R2 at all.

  Case #2: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Supportted+Dell+PowerEdge+Systems+for+Microsoft+Windows+Server+2008+R2+Beta

  This is a list of Beta for PE obviously compatible servers, however it would make sense If Microsoft has included natively the right drivers for the Dell hardware in the distribution of Microsoft R2 RTM so, just can't find any supporting documentation and do not know if the network drivers are compatible with MD3000i.

  #3: There are a few hacks to get drivers Windows 2008 MPIO inherited working with the RC R2 & MD3000i on this forum, but no reference to R2 in the MD3000i matrix and nothing on the site... it's why, we have wondering again where are the good drivers for R2 RTM?

  Can you be it someone from Dell and or this forum please send information on these issues?

  #1: driver compatibility of matrix for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on PE1950 and connected to an MD3000i PE2950 is a supported configuration?  (Code R2 RTM was released to Microsoft volume license customers)

  #2: the network drivers for the host machines included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM?  If this is true, are the drivers MPIO for MD3000i and iSCSI Dell other platforms included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM as well then?

  #3: If all the answers are not questions #1 and #2... could someone PLEASE contact people of pilot certification on Dell to see if they are same in QA at this point, if they plan to update and display an estimated date of implementation?  We have contacted tech support, but received very vague answers on anything with R2 at this stage.  There is a business directory and a path to escelation for support tickets, but the midrange as this makes it much easier to share information for the masses, we just have not yet found.

  Thanks for your information, comments and your support!

  I was finally sent to someone who could give me some information on this within Dell, here's what they said:

  PE 1950/2950 drivers:

  The pilot should be included natively in Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and if so, would these drivers would be supported by Dell in a production scenario.

  MD3000i:

  I know that we will not issue a new MDSM which will fund 2008 R2 until sometimes in October. The MD3000i requires MPIO to the MD3000i and Dell drivers driver installation to work properly. I'll see if there is other information that I can find. I understand your frustration and engineer told me that this has been corrected in the next MDSM and MD3000i firmware version in October.

  So, it looks like October before MD3000i will be supported.

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• Installation of windows server 2008 R2 on Poweredge R320

  Hello everyone

  We bought a new Poweredge R320 server in order to install 64-bit Windows Server R2. There are 2 drives inside and they are preconfgured as raid1.

  I changed the configuration of SATA in RAID mode and also initialized by PERC-H310 RAID1 without any problem. When the server starts up, I see the following messages.

  We found no Raid 0 disks

  1 Vitrual disk (s) were found.

  
  I can boot from the windows media but no disks are found and is prompting me to browse and install the drivers from nesseray. So I downloaded

  SAS Raid drivers from this link: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Pages/Drivers/poweredge-r320.html#Drivers%20for%20OS%20Deployment

  Windows Windows Server 2008 R2

  The name of the file is: DRVR_WIN_M20VR_5.2.220.64_A02_ZPE.exe

  I extracted the contents of a USB, restarted the server and when you are prompted for drivers during the windows installation, I traveled to USB which 2 files are found.

  nodev.inf

  percsas.inf

  I tried both of them, but every time I get a message saying to make sure that the correct drivers are found. It seems that is not the correct drivers.
  

  Could be he you please direct me to the correct drivers? Or if you have any suggestions please let me know.

  Thank you very much

  PS: I posted the same topic in the forum "Blade" by mistake. Apology.

  "Do you mean that if my BIOS/SATA configuration has been set to RAID 1 I should have drivers chipset/AHCI for a successful installation?"

  No, because you are not using the onboard SATA RAID - your built-in SATA is used ONLY by your optical drive, so it should not be in RAID and AHCI usually requires special drivers, which is not required when you use optical drives.  However, pilots of chipset/AHCI may have helped Windows to see the optical drive in such a way that the installation could proceed (if she needs the RAID controller for real hard disks, you will NOT see this particular message - you will see another message when Windows cannot find not all drives to be installed on).

  "When someone would set RAID 1 for sata configuration?"

  ONLY if you use the S110 RAID controller onboard.  You use the H310, so you don't want to mess with the SATA RAID on board.

• Qosmio F30 audio driver for Windows Server 2008

  I'm only running a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 installed. The server sees my Sound Driver, but it does not recognize it and ask for driver all the time. I tried running the installer of Sound Driver from the CD, but it didn't work, said: not supported operating system. I tried a driver all over the web and I found none. Can someone help to find this driver for me or let me know it it is possible to manually install this driver?

  I will be grateful for any help.

  As you probably know that Qosmio F30 is not designed to be used as a server and general support Toshiba doesn t Server2008. All you can do is to identify the manufacturer of the sound card and try to find the driver on its support page.

  Boyfriend sorry but that s all I can say about it.

• T61 and windows server 2008

  I get to level my t61 of xp to windows server 2008. Yet, the bluetooth does not work. the pilot said he could not find bluetooth device. Secondly the fn keyboard shortcut does not work either. FN + f4 is ok, the fn + pgup/dwn is ok, but not fn + f2, f3, f5. any thoughts?

  Thank you.

  Most of these function keys is related to a specific program (Fn + F3 to change plans with power management program)

  If the associated program is not installed you have no functionality.

  more information can be found here.

  To solve the problem or the other vist hereto manually download drivers and software

  Or

  Click hereto use the system update drivers and software download and instlal for you

  PS bluetooth radio must be powered first before they recognozed by windows. Having been current on windows will install the default microsoft drivers. FN + F5 function is used to do this. Hotkey driver/utility must be installed to use Fn + F5.
