  I get this error when you try to turn on a Windows 7 guest who has the added PCI device.

  

  It is configured on the host computer, but things are not quite right...

  

  anyone else facing the pleasure like this?

  Of course, I have it works very well, but with a Quadro2k and a Quadro4k.

  Take a look in this whitepaper for instructions, be aware that it is not fully supported yet and you might have to tinker a bit to make it work.

• Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  Hello

  I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2^nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2^nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2^nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2^nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2^nd NIC. But that 2^nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2^nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2^nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1^st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2^nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

  Thanks in advance

  Network configuration

  • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
  • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

  If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

• R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

  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:

  www.Dell.com/.../manuals

  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, 2014

  Thank 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

  Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

  This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

• BB10 Simulator on Vmware ESXi

  I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:

  1. Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
  2. 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

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/native-development/BB10-native-Cascades-SDK-not-connecting-to...

  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++.

• Patching VMware ESXi

  So, I recently discovered that my VMware ESXi running ESXi 5.5.0 version 1331820 build number (ESXi 5.5.0 GA). Now, I know that there are a few fixes that have been released, ESXi550-201410001 is the most recent, because as far as I know. It would be convenient to patch, also if this is the case, can I just go what version I am now, download the recent patch and install directly, or is there a few required required fixes before. Active and important virtual machines running on hosts that I would be "patching" it may be closed, but it would be really bad if the patch to cause problems for causing problems for VMS host.

  I'm new to this, as I have never "patched" before ESXi. I guess I can use this (KB VMware: installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x ) as the documentation on how to install those.

  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, the ESXi patches are cumulative.

  Please read this blog post from VMware:are cumulative patches ESXi | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

  Go to/var/core. You will find the dump files named vmkernel - zdump.x.

  The first part of this file is readable, more party to the end step.

  Look for the the CMTF stack dump it.

  For example, search for BlueScreen.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• VMware esxi 5.0: Samba datastore

  Hello

  After searching for a thousand and one ways I found no results for my problem.

  Let me explain:

  I recently bought from Dell a server on vmware esxi 5.0.

  My virtualization works wonderfully well and I have no worries about the virtualization itself.

  Given the cost of the server I preferred a server with little storage... And now everything works fine I heard 'need' more storage (Miss near 100 go).

  I have a server iomega Linux ubuntu 11.02 with more than 1 TB of storage. That had more but accurate, so I decided to use it as storage type NAS dedicated only to my virtualization.

  It is configured so that it is accessible to all (public mode). It is visible from any position, it is on Linux or on Windows. I have the opportunity (in any position) to create/delete/run the files it contains.

  Ook, impossible pour me to make this server a data store. :/

  Indeed after searching for tutorials on the Internet I don't have until then not found solution...

  Apart from "http://www.tuto-it.fr/ESXDatastore.php." When I get to select my server (IP put) I don't have to worry about this one is clearly visible. However I don't have a 'target' (target) available in what makes me unable to create a new LUN disk on this famous server.

  I ask myself several questions:

  1. is my request possible?

  2 samba is he took into account by Vmware as a NAS Server?

  3. a more advanced version of the it takes VMware pour UTI UN datastore 'distant '?

  4. should I use another operating system and/or USE another software for sharing?

  Someone would have it an idea pour me troubleshoot?

  I thank in advance anyone willing to give me some advice.

  [EDIT]

  I also could find attached 'http://www.vclouds.nl/2012/06/24/building-my-superfast-home-storage-with-nexenta-ce/' but this one speaks of "Nexenta. Therefore, pour me possible to a server from a data store. Remains to be seen how! :-(

  Hello

  Pour you could mount a store of data that Linux server on your infra vSphere, it takes you to introduce United Nations either NFS or iSCSI volumes.

  A the of my opinion, simpler and faster is that you turn to the NFS, just have to be careful to set the right parameters pour export.

  Keep us updated,.

• Why VMWare ESXi 5 slow down access to IBM M1015 / LSI 9240-8i RAID?

  I build servers for virtualization and wanted to go with VMWare ESXi 5. I configured RAID10 on 4 discs attached to the IBM M1015 internal RAID controller (similar to LSI 9240-8i) and installed ESXi without any problem. Only problem is that copying data to the data store (on the RAID array) on the host is slow - about 20 MB/s. And I get about the same speed when you try to copy data to a shared folder on the guest virtual machine. The host network is auto-négociée with switch 1000Mbit 1000Full and I used vmxnet3 vm card in the guest computer.

  When I install MS Hyper-V on the same exact server with the exact same table RAID10 I get around 110 MB/s speed to copy data to the Hyper-V host.

  I used the latest drivers available for each system:

  ESXi 5 - LSI_5_34-455140.zip\scsi-megaraid-sas-5.34-1vmw.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib

  Windows - 5.2.112

  I have even updated the firmware card 20.10.1 - 0077.

  This card is entry level but recommended on different places for ESXi. What I am doing wrong? Am I missing something?

  Thank you

  As I mentioned earlier, ESXi does not have caching at the level of the BONE, unlike HyperV.

• VMware ESXi serving SMB to a windows network?

  I have a friend who has a small business. It has about a half dozen windows on desktop machines. On the backend, it has a pretty Beefy Server (AMD Phenom X 3, 8 GB of RAM, RAID 3 to matrix). He runs VMware Server 2.0 on a box of CentOS 5.x, and he has two XP VMs on this box. It also has a very large partition on this machine, which he is serving as the several stock through Samba for desktop computers.

  Unfortunately, VMware Server got a little, uh, flaky with current versions of Linux. I had problems with it on a Debian installation and there has been a power outage a couple of weeks, and the server would not be back for two or three days. Then he called me.

  Now I would like to convert him on VMware ESXi (3.5 or 4.0, since the machine is 64-bit), but remains the problem of the samba shares. Is it possible for esxi for a second or subsequent data store and serve as actions for windows machines? I had thought to build an another VM to serve these files, but that is not good. Looks like another layer of obfuscation, it is a bit nervous about trusting to its archives (some date back to 1992) of VMware with the experience he had with the server. Does anyone know of another (better?) way?

  Thank you

  -Storm

  On ESX and ESXi, it is not the part of 'server' of file server protocols.

  And as noted before, the best choice is to create a virtual machine that act as a file server.

• ISO customized for HP of VMware ESXi 4.0

  Hello

  I am building an infrastructure and I have a HP Proliant dl320g5p. What are the differences between an image of the iso standard and the iso costumized for HP? I can't find the differences.

  For more, when I'm building RAID1 installation of VMware ESXi see 2 discs... How can it be resolved?

  Another problem I have, is that sometimes the service Management Console stops

  Thank you.

  Hello

  See this post where you can learn some information about it.

  And as the OP commented you must correctly configure the raid1 disk controller's BIOS. Then the esxi should see a volume of disk raid1 logic.

  BTW, what disk controller you are using?

  Sometimes, if the drive controller is not really supported, just the physical disks are available for esxi, but not the volume raid1.

  I recommend you check the ESX(I) Compatibility Guide to ensure that your disk controller is supported.

  Hope this helps

  Best wishes / Saludos.
