• Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

  Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

  Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

  works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

  and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

  Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

  Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

  Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

  Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

• Install a custom configuration for ESXi Installer for server 28 - Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value to 1

  Hello

  First off I will say that I installed ESXi 4.1 in about 6 servers to date.  I have a large ESXi Cluster that contains the MSCS virtual machines.  I have the problem that described in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016106.  Now, workaround for the value Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value 1 works fine and shorten time of start of 40 + minutes to 8 minutes after post.  Now, what to install it?  Well, they suck.  Basically before you can actually adjust this via the gui VI client, you must go through 2 trunk of ESXi 4.1 (1 ffrom the CD and 1 after initial installation).  So, basically, to install ESXi on servers 1 takes me about 2 hours.  That sucks.  Anyone know how I can make a customized CD that includes the fix 'Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value to 1' already?  28 more servers to go and I'm not looking forward to that!  Please help...

• Can't get OS USB host for the installation of a new virtual machine

  I am trying to create my first VM in VSphere client. All my other machines have been migrated to Hyper-V machine. I created the machine but can't load of windows server 2003 r2 32 bit OS ISO. I tried several ways to no success.

  The virtual machine just says: operating system not found. The first way I tried was put the installation disc in the VSphere host and modify the virtual machine settings to point to the CD-ROM. It did not work.

  The second way, I tried was by clicking on the icon of the disk to the VM Console and choosing iso on the local disk. I then navigate to the iso file. When I did this it remains stuck in the connection. Even after I change this setting if I try to go back to the icon of the drive console he says always login no matter what I do on the parameters of the virtual machine. Can I stop it trying to connect?

  The third way, that I tried was to stick to a USB to the VSphere host. However, I can't understand how to assign the virtual machine to USB. I noticed that when I plug my USB key, it says USB configuration has changed in the events, but I do not see the USB drive as an option under storage.

  The fourth way that I tried was to use WINSCP for SFTP the ISO for the data store. When I do this need me in the root directory that has only about 100 MB of space on it. So it allows me to start the transfer of the iso and the error. How can I change this?

  I'm really frustrated about something which I think should be really easy. Any help is appreciated.

  You have access to vCenter?

  If so, this video shows how to download an ISO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6v8GsWJ9dc

  If you get your ISO on the data store that you can navigate to it through the client vSphere (console) to the virtual machine, do not forget to set the "connect on startup' or 'Connected' when you configure the virtual machine's CD drive.

  [Edit] Boot from USB can sometimes be a problem, if you need to boot from USB you can use a like Plop Boot Manager, it is an ISO standard, you can load into the virtual machine CD player. More info here: http://www.vladan.fr/great-tip-how-to-boot-from-usb-image-in-vmware-workstation/ ... It's for workstation, but it works for ESXi 5.0 as well.

• Cisco C220 M3 - ESXi installation - is ESXi free?

  Hi guys,.

  I want to install ESXi Server C220 M3. I think that ESXi is free but I'm not sure. Do need me a permit for the Cisco custom ESXi image?

  I also have another server C220 M3 distinct from each other. For this one, I have a license vSphere Enterprise license. Do I need another license of ESXi here?

  Thank you.

  At the end of 60 days, to change the 'license' to the ESXi installation to get a perpetual license (with much reduced features) key of VMware.

  Basis of VMware and virtuallisation managed with the vi client is included in the free license, but no vCenter and all the goodies that come with it.

• 5.5u2 on X99s Mpower ESXi installation problem

  Hello world

  I have problems installing ESXi 5.5 u2 on a card mother MSI MPower X99S.

  Questions:

  No not initially on "out of resources" when loading tools.t00 (think it was solved by loading from a USB drive (UNetbootin used to create) instead of a CD.) Also updated sata-xahci - 1.10 - 1.x86_64.vib)

  Now the system crashes just after loading imgpayld.tgz with error "cannot resolve the circular movement".

  The system is as follows:

  I7-5960 x extreme CPU

  64GB DDR4 RAM 2133

  10 * 6TB red WD

  She's.

  So, I tried the following:

  Any help is much appreciated and needed!

  Hello world

  I managed to solve it in a roundabout way.

  I gave the card combination mother/cpu/ram and swapped the Council, ram and cpu out to a different core I7 with 32 GB memory ddr3 Ram.

  Installing ESXI on this other configuration (motherboard is GA - X 79 - UD3) I discovered that ESXI captures not software raid created by the bios of the motherboard and I bought an Intel RS2WG160 raid controller and battery, updated the BIOS RAID intel, set up the raid that I needed and installed ESXI without any problem (VIB files after uploading the last VIB for the http://www.v-front.de/2013/11/how-to-make-your-unsupported-sata-ahci.html sata and the technical support site offers Intel)

  Once I had installed ESXi, I decided to try to swap the GA - X 79 - UD3 mobo, ram and cpu out with my configuration of origin either the MPower X99s, DDR4 RAM (and I7 CPU 5960 X)

  , but without having to re - install ESXI.

  It worked perfectly for me at this time there

  Bottom line - install the ESXI using another mobo, cpu and ram, then those Exchange and restart.

  Hope that helps others

• ESXi & Installer hangs when starting

  Hello

  I looked around and looked for my problem-related entries in the forum, but I couldn't find anything...

  Here is my problem:

  * New server Fujitsu TX200 S7:

  2 x Xeon CPU / 64GByte = 16GByte RAM 4 x / 4 x SAS HDD 600GByte / RAID LSI Ctr RAID0/1/5/6/10/50/60 mit FBU - Erw. + Modul TFM / DVD - RW / embeddet USB Device of the UFM

  I experienced enormous problems to start with the installer of vmware esxi 5.1 (or 5.0) CD ROM or esxi host 5.1.

  What works with the above server:

  * Install it is an os windows 2012 std server on the raid system is executed without absolutely no problems

  Start the success of server std 2012 win every time.

  * Setup a esxi host 5.1 on the server, but only subsequently install Fujitsu «server see DVD»

  What does NOT work with the above server: (every time, never had a successful boot)

  Booting with the esxi 5.0 installation CD original fujitsu - fails!

  * Start with one (from vmware) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  * Start with one (from fujitsu) downloaded fails - esxi 5.1 installation CD!

  Start a successuflly by the Fujitsu 'Start Server CD' installed esxi host 5.1 on this server - fails!

  * Test: start without lsi sas controller (without any disk hard sas) - the server starts faster (without the lsi raid controller firmware)-, but fails.

  * Test: starting with half of the installed RAM - fails!

  The symptoms of what happens during startup and cannot:

  * First step of booting (bundle of progress on the top of the screen) will run successfully

  * During the first seconds of the second stage (starting ESXi Kernel, beam of progress is displayed on the bottom of the screen), the computer did a hard-reset and the startup process begins once more.

  So I don't know what I could do.

  Because all windows system works perfectly, I would exclude a hardware error

  On the other side, Fujitsu specifies this server with this equipment compatible with esxi, then I do not understand that no esxi (Installer) will be initialize to top.

  So, what could be the reason why the software does not start?

  How can I know the reason why the systems do not initialize-go to top?

  Thank you very much for any suspicion solve my problem!

• 5 - USB or HDD ESXi installation location?

  I intend on creating a stand-alone ESXi server to run several virtual machines.  HP is envisaged for the seller.  There will be no external storage, all storage will be aboard running, probably in raid 10 or maybe 1.

  My quesiton is this: what would be the ideal installation location for ESXi?  Can I install using an internal USB or flash?  Or would it be better to simply install on the internal HDD RAID non-commercialise all storage is in local?  I am currious what those of you would recommend?

  Thank you

  There is a problem with the ESXi on local RAID which has already been mentioned here and in referenced posts:

  If you have the need to increase available disk space by putting more physical disks in the box and expanding your RAID volume then it will become very difficult to the data on the RAID volume if extended VMFS volume you have ESXi installed on it. It is always possible, but requires hacks of ugly command line (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2002461).

  On the other side if you have ESXi installed on a device separate (such as a USB key) you can easily develop the VMFS volume in vSphere client GUI.

• Mysterious problem - HP DL380 G7 Server - ESXi installs but won't start

  Someone has already seen this? I have a new DL380 G7 server, I have 8 drives and installation with 2 bays, RAID10 (4 discs). ESXi 4 DVD comes from an ISO, I downloaded from HP (and have used on other servers as DL380 G6 without problem). The installation goes by at the end asks me to restart, and then I remove the DVD and restart. The controller, SmartArray P410 is defined as the boot device (there is one in the system) and I even try the F11 at startup and tell it to boot from HD... the screen is blank for a second then the server tries the other boot devices (network, etc.).

  I am really puzzled. During installation, the installer sees the two logical drives very well. I took LogicalDrive0 to install to.

  Thoughts? I'm puzzled.

  I agree with the suggestion of J1mbo . It is a good way to make sure that you install the operating system/ESXi on the expected logical volume.

  Another possible way to make sure that you install on the logical volume is created volumes with slightly different sizes. (I usually create one with only 10 GB for ESXi). In this way, you will be able to take the logic unit number in the Setup program based on its size.

• ESXi installation options

  Is better to install ESXi on a local storage (for example 2 HD configured in RAID1) or on an SD card/USB key?

  Max

  It is up to you...

  There are pro and cons on two solutions.

  IMHO, I prefer the option without disc. And could be very interesting and probably also the best solution when a server will be delivered with a double SD card (mirrored).

• I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not

  I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not occur.

  Please help on this issue.

  Since there is no integration PAM for ESXi, you cannot authenticate to ESXi itself using active directory.  -What are you talking about?  You can always have virtual machine with windows and active directory.

• Can satellite L300-1BV - I ask Toshiba for the installation CD?

  Hello

  How could I go ask Toshiba for the installation CD? My laptop (L300-1BV) came with the pre-installed operating system, so I can ask them for the CD?
  But I don't know how I'd go to this topic.

  Any advice?

  Hello

  I think you mean the Toshiba recovery disc. Is this correct?

  If yes you can create yourself Toshiba recovery disc. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator to create this diskette.
  This disc you create operating system preinstalled with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It s also called settings factory or let's say the same thing that you started the laptop time first.

  Normally, you get a recovery reminder message and I think that this information could be useful for you:
