Updated table controller drivers and Firmware at boot from a SD card?

I am in the process of upgrading vSphere 5.1 to 6.0.  All our ESXi hosts boot from SD cards and do not use table controllers local (they don't even have disks).  We had internal discussions on the need to update table controller drivers and firmware on our ESXi hosts if we do not use the table.  Those who are drivers update are firmware are concerned by the potential problems when the operating system scans the controller (either on boot for when looking for the new volumes) If firmware or drivers have been written for vSphere 4.1.  Those who are against the update drivers and firmware think that since there is no disc no problem.

VMware has specific recommendations?

What do other drivers of controller of berries on systems that do not use the local drive (i.e. boot from SD SAN cards, Auto deploy,).

Thank you.

P.S., We use servers HP Proliant DL and BL series, but I guess that would apply to any provider.

VMware and HP support told me that if the device should not be used, then the drivers and firmware will not be updated.  We played with the idea to disable the array controller in the BIOS, but finally we decided to stay with our standard process do not update table controllers.

  • Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

    I have a laptop A200.

    I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

    Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

    There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  • NB510 - boot from the SD card?

    Hello

    I have a question related to booting from SD cards.
    As my NB510 has no optical device, I thought to use an SD with Linux on it to boot from.

    The reason is that sometimes I need Linux and I don't wan to lose my Windows partition or another partition of my HDD with a 2nd OS.

    My experience is that more than one OS at a disk always causes unnecessary trouble.
    Unfortunately, it seems that the NB510 does not boot from the SD card.

    I created it with the Toshiba SD Memory Format Utility and "UNetbootin" to create a card with the last OpenSUSE Linux.

    When, in from the laptop and press F2 (or F12), all available drives be filed - but not my SD card (Yes, it was inserted). BIOS Insyde H2O also doesn't seem to provide the SD card as boot drive.

    So is it possible to get my NB 510 booting from SD card?

    Greetings from the Germany

    Hello

    Why you boot from the USB flash key t n?
    As much as I know the NB510 support the start of disk HARD primary, Network (LAN), USB, USB HDD and USB WEIRD memory.

    If booting from USB is certainly possible.

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • V3 - 771g S8 i7. V2.28 BIOS how to disable secure boot mode and allow to boot from usb/dvd

    Hi people,

    Recently my laptop w8 shared with my brother get sick. So I decided to get out the trusty old diagnosis

    USB and dvd, you know, ubcd centos ophrack. Much to my dismay, I couldn't start any of them. So after some faffing

    everything on the net, I was able to boot/secure boot / disabled, which meant I could f12 at startup in the Boot Manager.

    Unfortunately, the drama is over. Kindly listed boot manager internal hard drive, but not bootable usb or dvd connected.  so I thought, I'm going to be cunning and change the boot order of start. Yet once the monster of Bios Acer jeeringly laughed at my attempts to

    take control of the material, I dared try control simply because I happened to pay a substantial amount of money to acer.

    So, it seems, the only option I have left to change is boot/boot mode / (boot uefi/legacy). So what I need to change to restore the boot control, is to change legacy BIOS uefi? Who will install the w8 cack?

    Also what happens if I want to replace the hard drive with an ssd in the near future, is not not to work?

    Oh, I tried to get help from the enamel of acer, their response said essentially bios/uefi is isn't a problem acer because it is sw and realized

    What seemed like a pay per minute service.

    Skills of good customer Acer.

  • HPE 410T: How can I boot from a MicroSD card?

    Hi I have a PC that goes over six years and would like to know how to start on a MicroSD card from office of 410t HPE. I am able to boot from a USB key by pressing and holding down the ESC key on startup to select the boot device and my USB flash drive appears in the list of bootable devices, but my microsd card does not appear in this list. Is there anyway that I can boot from the microSD on this computer? Thank you.

    bert6822

    Sorry, but you can start only off the coast of devices that appear in the selection of start menu.

    If it is not there, it can not be used at startup - and SD cards are a common problem in this regard.

    However, there is microSD adapters / USB (I have one of my cards), and if you don't find one of those, you might be able to start using a USB port.

    Good luck
