• Failure installing ESXi 5.1.0 on Dell PowerEdge R210 II

  Hi all

  I tried to find my answer in the existing forums and found a similar mistake (Forum #423438), but he had put end to saying that particular server is not supported. I bought the different server, the PE210 II, and he showed up on the list of support for VMWare. If you need of advice please.

  It is a new server out of the box, bought without Windows/Linux installed. Get the installation to the point below where it was looking to select a drive... and he just stood there. When I hit F1 for more details, I got the text at the top left of the screenshot. "An unexpected error has occurred. Error code: YMxvZy5we... "Look at the logs for more details. AttributeError: 'Text' object has no attribute 'device'

  

  No idea how to go beyond this? Really, we want to start using VMware and bought equipment to devote to it. Now I can't make it work.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Unfortunately "S" PERC controllers don't are not supported with ESXi, it may not even be detected during installation at all (see KB VMware: cannot install ESX/ESXi with Dell S class PERC)

• OK, I NEED someone TO HELP me INSTALL LESS ESXi 5.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server! And of course, HE IS No. TUTORIAL on this SITE FOR ME HELP!

  As I said earlier:

  OK, I am trying to install vSpere on my Dell PowerEdge 1950.

  Hardware specifications:

  4 GB FB-DIMM DDR2 memory

  x 2 processor Intel Xeon, 2 carrots, 3.00 GHz

  There a RAID BIOS, so I had to create a Raid 0 virtual disk to install anything.

  Drive hard WD 1 TB, it's the one I use for the VD.

  When I choose which hard drive I use, I select the VD, I created, I select my keyboard language, then the configuration scan my material, then he asks me if if want to install, I pressed F11. Then, when it reached 5%, it throws an error: "partedUtil failed with the message: error: can not have a partition outside the disk!

  He says that it cannot install it on a virtual drive? My server is not compatible?

  Edit: There is another error that says: cannot read the partition table for device:

  /VMFS/devices/disks/NAA.60019b90bd8289001e62575a584731e0

  What is going on!!! Why vmware cannot have tutorials on "How to install Esxi on a server with RAID BIOS"?

  Check if the virtual HARD disk you packed is initialized. It seems that the installation is not written on this HARD drive. Back to the HARD Disk Manager (you probably PERC5 / I) to start the process I think is CTRL + R? find your virtual drive and launch. Take a look at the image as an attachment.

• Adding additional disk to ESXi 4.1 Datastore on Dell PowerEdge R710

  Greetings,

  We currently have a Dell PowerEdge R710 with 6 SAS das drives configured in a RAID-1/RAID-5 configuration. A drive is configured as a global hot spare. I would add this spare drive in the RAID-5 table, where some virtual machines live, to recover additional space. Has someone managed to do this? Is the only way via the PERC BIOS management utility?

  Thank you!

  I'm not part "raid-1/raid-5.  But assuming that the table is raid-5, then yes it is possible and yes the BIOS utility is necessary.  The hot spare is currently set should be removed from this role, then added to the existing Bay raid-5, but without the ability to select increase.  This will create free space on the raid-5 array on which then a new logical volume can be created, which will be then seen by ESX as a new drive and therefore another data store can be added to this (or it can be added to the first as a measure).  HTH

  When I try to create 64 bit OS comments, I try with windows 2008 x 86 64-bit Red hat Enterprise 5.2 64-bit and 2 OS in case of failure to install because it says that my processor does not support this version. If I have to configure something else to specify who is 64-bit? In the BIOS of my physical server is on the 64-bit mode.

• Dell poweredge R210 II BMC communication failure

  Hello

  I installed a new card 6 IDRAC and during startup, I got this error message from BMC communication

  and I do not have access to the IDRAC utility.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Sohann,

  Looks like you installed and map iDRAC6 Enterprise without iDrac Express being installed. When upgrading a system to the Baseboard Management Controller to controller of iDRAC6 Enterprise, an iDRAC6 Express controller must also be installed for iDRAC business controller features.  This is because most of the logic for the iDrac lies in fact in the Express.

  Also, what is the part number for the company card you have installed, so I can confirm compatibility. I ask as I have only to use with the business you already have, as well as a reference number for the complete upgrade of BMC Enterprise, the numbers for the Express card. This is where the card you have is not compatible.

  iDrac6 Express only (for upgrade BMC to Express) - 330-5946

  If you card is not compatible.

  iDrac Enterprise Upgrade Kit (for upgrading BMC until the company - 330-7645

  Let me know.

• Setting up raid 1 on dell poweredge r210 ii

  Hi all

  I want to configure raid 1 with 2 x 500 GB sata HDD, I tried pressing f10 when the thumb to the Configuration Wizard of server load when I press on the raid configuration, I got error no. controllers Raid found! ..

  any help please

  Thanks in advance,

  Mandoesam,

  The first thing I would look at is if the Raid is turned on in the BIOS (F2). Access the BIOS, and then under SATA settings, replace the SATA Embedded Raid Mode. You can also turn off the server and reconnect both ends of the HDD cables. After that, then start the cycle of life of the controller (F10) and see if the Raid is now configurable.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Dell PowerEdge T110 II add on the video graphics card that works

  The system configuration:
  Dell PowerEdge T110 II
  BIOS 2.8.0
  RAM 2x8GB

  For many reasons (for example feeding bus PCI), it is difficult to install a Dell PowerEdge T110 II graphics card.  The ATI Radeon HD 5450 is a good choice for the Dell PowerEdge T110 II because if its (approximately 10W) low energy consumption.

  After trying several HD 5450 (listed below), a graphics card that works is a "VisionTek Radeon HD 5450 - graphics card - Radeon HD 5450 - 2 GB memory DDR3 - PCI Express 2.1 x 16'.

  Edit: Thanks to paikat for the following references, (see his assignment for the links, where to buy)...
  VisionTek manufacturer: 900356
  Reference Dell: A6173020

  This card works when the monitor is connected to the VGA/D-SUB/DB15 connector. I wasn't looking to connect to HDMI or DVI connectors.

  After you install this graphics card, passed the BIOS Setup:
  Integrated Devices > integrated video controller: enabled

  by saying:
  Integrated Devices > integrated video controller: Standard

  and allowed to move from "Standard" to "Distributed" so it now says:
  Integrated Devices > integrated video controller: distributed

  Note: Install the card with the monitor connected to the integrated video port / edge, change the BIOS to Distributed settings, restart the computer and then connect the monitor to the Discrete / distributed / video port to Add on.

  Here are the identifiers on the "VisionTek Radeon HD 5450 - graphics card - Radeon HD 5450 - 2 GB memory DDR3 - PCI Express 2.1 x 16'

  54502GBPC
  VT 5450 PCIe 2GB V/D/H
  VT-400746PC
  PCB #R81KLD-PJ3Z
  R71KLD
  R81KLD
  Version: 1.0
  G0850000-0351L002739CZA-0087
  SH6 94V-0
  E248779

  Here are some pictures of the 5450 VT from DELL:

  

  

  Other video cards that have been tested and work well in T110 II are:

  * XFX Radeon HD 5450 1 GB GDDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low Profile PCI-Express graphics AMD card HD545XZQH2; HD-545 X-ZQH2
  Note there is another version of this card is ONXFX1PLS2 who has not tested.

  * EX-PX610GT-video JATON GeForce GT 610 2 GB 128 - Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP ready low profile ready card video

  * Reference DELL SOUND H545H1G Radeon HD 5450 (Cedar) 1 GB memory DDR3 64 bit PCI Express 2.1 x 16

  I hope this can help others avoid the frustration when you try to install a video card in a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.

  I have read this thread and seen the suggestion of VisionTek, it also works with the card mother E3-1230V2?

  My guess is the Dell PowerEdge T110 II uses the same motherboard for various configurations of CPU, but this is only a guess.

  SR2002

  Also, are there better options eventually with the support of 12 DDR5 and directx?

  None that I know, but I've only tried a few cards. Please let us know if you find cards better than the VisionTek 900356

  SR2002

  I saw a thread suggesting ASUS GTX650-E-2GD5, someone at - he of the inputs on this card?

  I tried a GeForce GT 610 2 GB and it did not work.  Check the use of the GTX650-E-2GD5 (DPT) power and make sure that it is less than 25 watts (see below)

  Quick notes:

  1. the location of PCIe x 16 is actually a "full-size x 8 slot" (also known as an x 16 slot / x 8) and the video card needs to work in this type of accommodation.

  2. video card power (TDP) is a limiting factor. Technical guide Dell says "the system supports a maximum power of 25 W for all four cards PCIe.»  and said Dell owner's manual "ATTENTION: to ensure correct cooling, not more than two cards of four extension may have more than 15 W power consumption (maximum 25 W each), not to mention the integrated storage controller card."

  3 install the card with the monitor connected to the integrated video port / edge, change the built-in BIOS devices > on-board video controller 'Activated' / 'Standard' to 'Distributed', restart the computer and then connect the monitor to the Discrete / distributed / video port to Add on.

• Cannot update firmware Poweredge R210 II

  Hello

  I get messages and errors below when you try to update the firmware on my server Poweredge R210 II. I use the BIOS of the Dell PowerEdge R210 II Version 2.8.0 server that seems to be the most recent version of this BIOS, but receive the following messages:

  * Red * please do not remove his power!

  Utility of flashing Insyde etc.

  100% of file loading

  Model name of the current BIOS:

  New model of the BIOS name: PowerEdge T110 II

  * Red * cannot use a BIOS "PowerEdge T110 II".

  * Red * in a «»

  * Red * Rom update not done

  etc.

  I saw the post following for the server in the subject line that has the same message above and points located on the server is an OEM box, but I'm able to open a support on the dell.com site page using the number of service on my machine. Any suggestions? Here is the message:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/956/t/19429285.aspx

  I managed to Flash the BIOS on my Dell R210 II XL OEMR back to the standard BIOS Dell Server version 2.8.0 by creating a BACK USB startup disk, copy the unpackaged Dell BIOS file, in my case, I used PER210II_020800.exe, and then running the following command: "PER210II_020800.exe - wipeclean - forcetype.

  The switch - wipeclean clears the ESCD and DMI data tables and the forces of switch - forcetype BIOS file to install on any Dell server.

  Here is a list of the other switches used during the update of the BIOS.  Be careful, however, you easily could brick your server if you use these incorrectly.

• ESXi and Dell Poweredge T410 install issues...

  Hello, we just bought a spanking new beand Dell Poweredge T410 with S300 raid Card... useless day, Esxi 4.0 or 4.1 will not install on it... We get an error message during the installation:

  "Could not find a data device to decompress the image for.

  This server was prchased Feb 2011... can someone tell me how I can get installed on esxi?

  The S300 controller isn't a device supported for ESXi. You must add a supported RAID controller. There are many other RAID controllers available for this server. The Perc 5 and 6 controllers are also good choices and are available on sites like e - bay, etc.
