VMware ESXI 3.5 (no HDD detection)
Hey guys,.
I was hoping you guys could help me with this. I downloaded the new vmware esxi 3.5 (as I have 32 bit hardware) burt to cd and boot from the cd. He loaded all the files and got to the part where he asked me to accept license agreement stright after as you do that it comes up with an error message saying that it cannot copy the installation on the hard disk image. I checked the bios and the bios is to see the hard drive. Even more, I tried another IDE hard drive and a SATA hard drive. I also tried an another bored, but I seem to have the same error. I've attached a screenshot of the error can you help me please?

My bad, I forgot who.
You can try install it not supported on vm-help. You will probably need to know your IDE/SATA info.

Drive HARD physics add to VMware ESXi 5.1
I came across a configuration of a Dell Power Edge ii one T110 Server VMware ESXi 5.1
It was built not by me, I found it here. I came across the need to increase the storage of VMware, but I need to add a new physical HARD disk.
I'm afraid to make any changes to the system, because there is no backup found for the virtual machine.
If I stop the physical machine and connect the additional HARD disk, how can I declare to the VMware, in order to define the backup of the virtual machine?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely, George I.
When you restart the server, you should see an option to create a matrix of storage before the ESXi begins to start up (this option is available for almost all servers and appears between POST process and startup). Select the option and create a RAID 0 array on second HARD drive. Start the ESXi server after that. You have to be sure that the second HDD is not in use or it will be formatted.
When the ESXi has started, go to Configuration-> Storage-> rescan all. After the news of the analysis is complete, go to storage add and you should see the table that you just created. After you have added storage, it will be visible as a the ESXi data store.
Let me know how it went.

VMware ESXi 4.1.0 and snapshot problem - no disk space
Hi all
We now have a big problem with our free space on the disk. We are using VMware vSphere (vSphere Client ver 4.1.0 and VMware ESXi ver 4.1.0):
Our vm has 2 HDD (500 GB, 1 TB). Now we have only 20 GB of free disk 1 and several snapshot files. To remove the snapshot, we need more than 20 GB of free space (corect?). What we need to do more free space? We can move snapshot files from the first disk to the second disk?
Thanks for any help
concerning
Dragan
First of all, you can redirect your new snapshot on another store/disk as explained in this article "http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002929".
Secondo, you can delete snapshot older and smaller but not all together as explained in this article by Duncan Epping "http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/01/07/delete-all-snapshots/."

How a production server of vmware ESXi ghost/acronis?
Hello, I am new to VMWare, just installed a VMWare ESXi 3.5 on HP DL380, it works really well.
is it possible to gogo/acronis/clone that server ESXi physical together to a USB HDD or something like that?
Thanks in advance.
Follow up - with Ghost for Linux, you will begin your ESX host off an ISO serious on CD media, and then start the CD media box. From there, you will have options to write the image to disk elsewhere. I use an FTP server as a destination for the image so I have all my images of ESX host in the same place, designated as what size disk and the type of machine and date by writing a long file name that is the description. Then, if I need to restore an image to the native ESX host, I get a list of the names of files from the FTP server during the restore and just choose the correct image in the list.
I am not sure if the G4L will recognize your USB drive or not - probably depends on what is the chipset and if the G4L kernel has support in his favor. If you can lower your host ESX and G4L being free I just try and see what happens.

Best practices in VMWare ESXi 3.5 installation and deployment of VMDK u3?
Hi all
I'm about to implement virtualization on my business technology
I've got these resources to be used by VMWare ESXi 3.5
Dell PowerEDGE 2950 III
32 GB DDR - II 667 MHz
internal 4 x 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD (RAID 5) - I know that it's slow to host the VMDK
Internal USB slot on the motherboard (but not USB flashdisk?)
Dell PowerVault MD3000
10 x 300 GB SAS 15 k RPM
2 x Dual port Gigabit Ethernet NIC (x 4 in total)
iSCSI - 2 x Gigabit Ethernet for the switch (mute not to VLAN)
I wonder where I should install the VMWare ESXi? for the VMDK, I believe that the deployment in the SAN is the right place.
and any suggestion for the use of the SATA HARD drive internal?
any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
You mean Deployment.jpg diagram?
In this case, there is an error.
You need a network 2, not 4.
Each controller and each NIC (on ESX) must have an IP in a net and another IP in the second NET.
ESX guests 4 targets, 2 in a net, 2 in the other.

That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails
The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:
indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.
Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?
I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:
~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014Thank you.
Hello
It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02
megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00
This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

Is the PowerEdge R610 Compatible DELL VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 recovery Image?
Hi all
Does anyone know if the R610 is compatible with the recovery Image VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1? It is not on the compatibility list, but the r.620 is there. We use two servers in our VMWare environment and I want to upgrade to 5.1 U1.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lee,.
The long wait has its result.
Seems that it's a typo. Engineering has responded that it is supported.
Let me know if you encounter other problems.

Driver RAID for Vmware ESXi 5.1 on Dell R420.
My project is to install Vmware ESXi 5.1 on a Dell R420 with Raid1 configuration. The question I have after configuring raid1 in raid utility is created using the, I launch the installation of Vmware ESXi 5.1. What is ESXi 5.1 sees not the raid1 partition but rather see two disks as are they worn can't in raid1 configurations.
I need to have this in raid1 config, can any who share an idea about my problem please or point me in the right direction.
I did some research but nothing seems to help resolve this issue.
Thank you
Sheriff.
Sorry for my previous response:
DELL-Daniel My - when I boot in the BIOS of the controller, I see the raid in a raid1 configuration.
Mgr dev you are right, I did research more when you all answered. I see the PERC S110 pilot was a software raid controller and thus the vmware esxi wouldn't work in a raid configuration 1 (software raid).
Thank you guys for you answer and who helped me

I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:
- Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
- Disabled 3D acceleration on the machine virtual (on ESX) and selected 'Full touch safe mode' after starting the virtual machine.
At this point, the virtual computer screen displays the IP 'telnet ftp ssh qconn', the axis of the device and the build number.
The next step is to connect the Momentics IDE to this virtual machine.
The Simulator is in need of a vmx file configuration dialog box (likely to run vmware specific commands). In the configuration of ESXi, there is no vmx file.
If I try to connect to the virtual machine by IP address, I need a device password, I did not.
Someone at - it suggestions on what do I do now?
In response to my own question because I found the answer:
Now that I have the IP address, I just follow the steps described in
Because I had never set up a password for the Simulator, I left the empty password field.
Copy-paste the details:
Of your IDE
-Right click on your project in the Project Explorer
-Go to Blackberry tools and click on configure target...
-Click Add new target it... button and enter the IP address of your Simulator in the host name or IP address field, enter your password if you have one then click on finish
To run your application on the Simulator:
-In the Project Explorer view, double click on file bar - descriptor.xml, then click on chip Debug Set button to set the author of the application information.
-Set the configuration of the correct version for the Simulator first by right-clicking on your project and selecting Configurations of Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug.
-In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and select build project.
-Right click on the project again, and then select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++.

Currently I see many MAC beat in the log of the switch. From my understanding, I expect the MAC address out all ports, because that's what'd ESXi when you use 'route based on the hash of the IP. I'm worried about the impact this might have on the CPU / switch.
