• ESXi 5.5 installer detects no network card

  Hey, guys

  Download ESXi 5.5 this afternoon and burned a CD to upgrade my ESXi 5.1u1. But after the installer loads, it prompted me that ESXi is unable to detect my network adapter...

  It works very well with ESXi 5.1u1... Maybe I downloaded ISO wrong...

  Here below the result of the NETWORK card in my update to version 5.1 ESXi 1:

• ESXi crashes during the passage of network cables

  So I have 4 NIC cards on my ESXi server and im trying to virtulize my firewall (pfSense) and I'm running into a strange question. in any case while my VM works that I can swap the cables on another switch or a router and at random times I get the following error. Don't know why, but I have problems very below when connected to a switch. For example, to access the web administration for pfsense page I must have both the wan and lan connected to the same switch to ping 192.168.1.1

  This error would be a non supported 100% NIC?

  NETWORK interface is a RealTek 8168

  2 PCI RealTek 8169

  1 Intel Pro PCI

  Anyway's ideas on the message of error and strange behavior.

  Thanks for the help

  

  Yes that's correct. the VMKdrivers gets crashed when there is such a disturbance with esxi.

  Also the realtek network adapter are not supported with esxi5...

  See the nic below for the supported network cards: i could not find a NIC realtek on the list.

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with storage iSCSI software to ESXi 5.5

  I intend to upgrade ESXi 4.1 with which I have attached to ESXi 5.5 iSCSI software storage

  I've updated all my guests who were on the SAN storage with no problems.

  I would like to know that if it there's nothing I should take care before I update the host connected iSCSI to ESXi 5.5, as for the hosts with SAN attached storage I made to remove the cables of SAN before upgrading the host.

  Also, if all known problems, you will be informed during the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 with iSCSI Software storage, please let me know?

  If there is no different process to upgrade coz in ESXi 4.1 I do not see this link ports of iSCSI vmkernel ports software iSCSI but I know in ESXi5.5 we have to or I just launch a procedure of standard upgrade via the Update Manager and everything will be taken care?

  Thanks in advance

  With ESXi prior to version 5, linking ports had to be done via command line. However, if it has been configured correctly, you should be able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (assuming that the host has not been previously updated since version 3). BTW. the last time that I disconnected the host of storage for an upgrade has been with ESX 3.0.

• Dell M620 (VRTX) blade - ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 installation upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest)

  This morning I did an installation of upgrade to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 1 to ESXi 5.1.0 Update 3 (latest Version) on one of the blades of my VRTX M620 three 3.  I have the same problem that I met about a year, when I tried to update 1-2 update.  I had to go down to 1 update to see the data store.

  With update 3, the data store does not appear on this blade.  I did a scan to see if the data store is present, but he did not.  Also, I restarted the blade which did not help.

  I have to keep upgrading to 3 update due to the necessary correction of problem CBT.

  How to troubleshoot and resolve this problem of my data store does not?

  Note: I have very little experience with virtualization.  I just found today on how to access the interface from the CLI of blades.

  Thanks in advance.

  SOLVED.

  The original sas megaraid drivers (even installed on the blades of M620 Dell) had to be installed.  It is my understanding that several versions of the megaraid sas driver provided on the Dell ESXi ISO are meant to satisfy the VMware HCL for this material.  However, the more recent does not show the data store.

• Upgrade to esxi 6 - running in parallel 5.5 versions Enterprise

  Hello together,

  We want to improve our Enterprise 5.5 to 6.0 Enterprise environment more.

  Can we run in parallel business with Enterprise 6.0 5.5 more ESXi hosts.

  or

  We can add the license keys for the company more than 5.5 to existing hosts without any configuration problem, then

  upgrade the esxi hosts to 6.0?

  Thank you

  There is no problem, but I recommend to keep this scenario only during migration.

• HP DL360 gen5 - is - it safe to upgrade to esxi 6.0?

  I know that the DL360 g5 has been out of the list of compatibility for some time now, but this is the box I have humming perfectly with 5.5 ESXi.

  I want to upgrade to esxi 6.0 (from the vib warehouse), but I fear that if the network and storage adapters will continue to work:

  1 adapter Gigabit Broadcom NC373i

  2. smart Array P400i

  3 631xESB/632xESB IDE controller

  I could not understand my way through the Compatibility Checker (or could not find these listed), but then I updated my HP N54L critical box non-production of esxi 6.0 without problems and it is not as compatible either.

  So if anyone has a DL360 gen5 (or a box with similar storage/network adapters listed above) and if you tried to upgrade to esxi 6.0 let me know whenever your upgrade was successful or not.

  Thank you!

  If despite this: VMware KB: devices obsolete and unsupported in VMware ESXi 6.0 who says P400i support is out or endangered, I found a few posts online saying that P400i still works in esxi 6.0 and I did the vib updated for the esxi itself as well as HP drivers and utilities:

  esxcli network firewall ruleset defined true httpClient - r EI

  Update profile of software esxcli d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml Pei ESXi 6.0.0 - 20150404001-standard

  software esxcli vib install d http://vibsdepot.hp.com/hpq/latest/index-drv.xml

  software esxcli vib install d http://vibsdepot.hp.com/hpq/latest/index.xml

  esxcli network firewall ruleset defined false httpClient - r EI

  reset

  Started system and VMs loading properly.
