  I'm trying to install VMware vsphere 5 on a HP DL385 G1, but when I run the Setup it hangs on "Loading module e1000.."

• vSphere 4.0.0 Update 1 installation hangs on "loading image.tgz".

  I try to install vSphere 4.0 ESXi on a new server:

  Mother SATA superMicro SuperServer 6025 B

  Intel E5405 2.0 GHz CPU quad-core 64-bit

  8 GB OF DDR2 ECC RAM

  9690 storage controller - SA GCCA 3Ware

  I have not created any volumnes RAID, and I just 2 hard drives 1 TB in slots 0 and 1.

  When I boot on the installation CD, the unpacking of compressed files continues until "Loading image.tgz" how Setup does nothing and is blocked indefinitely.

  As far as I know, all my system components are compatible.

  What I am doing wrong?

  It sounded just like ESXi was the better (and easier) way to go.

  That is right. From what I've heard and read, it will also be the future of ESX...

  but I don't like as long as I can get it installed and running with a minimum of fuss.

  I agree with you. ESX taking action a little more during installation and update, however it works in the same way as ESXi (with the exception of the Service Console).

• Scanner HP hangs while loading, Mac OSX Lion

  Some time, I've upgraded to the new Mac operating system and scanning HP began to simply crash at startup.  I tried waiting a long period never came to see if an update would come to my computer that could solve the problem, but nothing.  I waited for the next upgrade Mac OSX, and with Mountain Lion here still does not work.  I tried to find the drivers so I could remove and reinstall them using, but drivers HP page she finished with just a message saying something to the effect of "these updates come to you automatically through a software update...". ".  I can't believe that HP gave this device and it not support.  I just got an update for it through the normal OS update, but it still broken.  If I try to use Image Capture (de facto under Mac OSX program) he struggles to do the scan, or I would just use it.

  What should I do to fix this?

• ESXi 4 Installation hangs

  Hello

  I try to install ESXi 4 on a HP DL380 G6, leave a .iso downloaded from the VMWare website. When the installation gets to "loading ipmi_si_drv", it crashes. I read the previous posts on the 1 h 10 min wait, and I'm still waiting (50).

  The version is 171294, Server 2 Intel Xeon CPUs and standard network card config.

  Any help would be appreciated,

  I'll make sure that you have the latest firmware of HP. Download the Firmware CD on HP website under downloads windows.

  Get the version of ESXi 4 HP on HP website.

  There is a firmware ILO listed under ESXi 4 on the dl380 G6 page. I don't think that it is different than on the CD firmware but check it out. ILO is the ipmi interface

• Satellite A105-S1014 - BIOS hangs during loading

  Hi all

  I'm working on an A105-S1014. the problem is that when trying to boot the system, the bios starts to load, but it freezes. There is a bar of progression at the bottom of the screen and it stops just about 2/3 of the way. This is a laptop that has been abandoned so that on. Initially, he was stuck in a reboot loop. One of the memory modules was knocked loose so I reinstalled them both. Now im stuck and cannot get the bios to complete loading. Ive opened the laptop and checked all the connections and wires to make sure that nothing else is loose or disconnected. I tried to exchange the memory one at a time and can not think of anything that would stop the bios to load a configuration jacked up. I can't reset the cmos because the battery is soldered in place and there are no jumpers that I see.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance :)

  Hi Theeone,

  Usually if the BIOS hangs while loading procedure, there seems to be a serious hardware problem but I don t know what part is assigned exactly

  In your case I would try this first:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter, now wait at least an hour. Reconnect the battery and the AC adapter / CC and try to start the laptop.
  It work?

  If this isn't the case, you need professional help of an authorized service I think. Guys should check what part is affected and needs to be replaced. ;)

• VMware 5.5.1 installation hangs at the end in XP Pro Sp3

  Then the installation hangs and won't be finished install but progress bar is just at the end have waited over an hour for her to finish - by using the administrator account.

  A folder for it but I don't see in the start menu.

  You know not so completely installed or missing components.  Nothing in Add/Remove programs related to it, so I think not completely installed.

  How to install XP or is there another version number which can do a physical examination to the conversion of the virtual machine of multiple partitions (drive by keeping letters) to a conversion of an existing for a guest of computer virtual of XP Sp3 XP run on Windows host 8.1 - hyper-v or vmware player prob / virtual box?

  Thank you very much.

  Also these: cmd prompt: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
  then netsh winsock reset catalog.
  Then reinstalled the NIC drivers as suggested.
  Also put the installer program office (extract the Installer file) and which ran on reboot.
  FIXED - after that restart could install all services installed in the end and shortened came office - running he opened the program.

• The Vcops error (VMware-vcops - 5.8.0.0 - 1448123 - vapp.ova) on VMware ESXi (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64.iso)

  Hi all

  I am a novice in this area and to learn.

  I installed VMware ESXi 5.5 in one of my machine and it works through VMware player. Am also able to connect to VMware ESXi 5.5 via Vsphere Client 5.5 on my machine. Through my research on the internet I found that vCenter Server is required only when we have the large number of ESXi to manage (correct me if I'm wrong). In my case, I have only one. Therefore, I have not installed vCenter Server.

  Now, I want to deploy vCops with VMware ESXi 5.5 5.8. But while deploying OVF template(VMware-vcops-5.8.0.0-1448123-vapp.ova), I get the following error.

  

  My understanding above is correct or am I missing something obvious?

  Hi RizQad,

  According to the guidelines of the screenshot, you connect directly to the host ESXi 192.168.0.49 and the error is reported through the OVF vCOPs. It's expected, because the ESXi host do not understand the purpose of vAPP, as explained in my initial comment.

  You need to connect to your IP vCVA i.e. 192.168.0.51 using the vSphere client and then import the OVF vCOPs.

  Let me know if you still experience this issue.

• 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!

• Installation of VMware ESXI 6 in my server

  Hi all

  I have a server that I have configured with raid 1 using the disk on the Server utility.

  When I try to install VMWare ESXI on the server, in the part of the selection of the disk to install the ESXY appears only the physical disks and not the virtual drives configured in table mode. What should I do?

  Concerning

  Milton Aguiar

  You are probably using some (aka 'false') 'software' edge RAID controller. These controllers require additional driver software to work. However, VMware supports only the real hardware RAID controllers, which are transparently logical volumes to the OS. Unless your hardware provider offering dedicated to ESXi drivers (HP as much I know as fact for some of theit controllers of Type B) you may not use the RAID on board.

• VMware ESXi freezes during installation

  I have problems to install VMware ESXi on a HP dl380 g3. Accessing the server using its iLO interface. I boot from the cd and choose Setup ESXi. Then, it load the following modules (vmkboot.gz, vmkernel.gz, sys.vgz, cim.vgz, ienviron.tgz, image.tgz, install.tgz). After that, he said "Booting MBI = 0x000100d8, entry = 0 x 00100212" and freezes. By freezes, I mean that my keyboard is blocked so I can't even disable caps lock on or off. I let it sit for 10 min and she still fails. I tested the cd trying to install it on a virtual machine, and it seemed to work fine. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the disc.

  Any ideas on what could be the problem?

  Thank you

  John

  DL380 G3: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11473_div/11473_div.HTML

  The processors listed don't look like 64-bit processors. I couldn't find a solution for this kind of material. My workaround, however, is to simply continue using ESXi 3.5 on these and ESXi 4 on more recent/64-bit servers.

• 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.
