• 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

  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.

• Can I install the vmware tools on a HP Proliant 380 G5 with VMware ESXi 3.5 Installable U3 with HP management components?

  Hello, I have install ESXi 3.5 U3 on a Hp Proliant 380.

  I have created a virtual machine to Windows 2003, and when I want to install VMWARE TOOLS from Vmware Infrastructure Client, it does not install on the virtual machine vmware tools. Nor has received all messages from a Client Infrastructure and neither of the virtual machine.

  Why could this happen?

  Thanks in advance

  NO.

  The installation of vmware tools lies in an iso file, which is located on your host ESX itself and is mounted on the virtual machine when you click "install vmware tools".

  Weather or not your host has a cdrom drive is not serious, you can always add a virtual cdrom drive to your guests and use iso files, or the cdrom drive on the PC that you are using the VI client from.

  If you vm doesn't have a virtual cdrom drive, it can't mount the vmware tools iso, and you cannot install the vmware tools.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

  I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

  Let me know if it helps.

  

• 1.2 VMware 4.1 ISE Installation failure

  An assessment of the customer, we are trying to install ISE 1.2.1.198 on a VMware ESXi 4.1 VM to an iso image in VMware data store mounted as the DVD drive on the virtual computer. the installation starts, but after the initial startup fails with an error that the ISE software DVD is not in the DVD player.  I wonder:

  (1) everyone knows this?

  (2) has anyone installed this version of iso in a data store?

  Refers only to the installation guide installation ISO with DVD in the Player VM host.

  I am currently downloading the .ova file to work around the problem, but as Cisco provided the .iso image file to the client, I prefer to do this work if possible.

  TIA

  JonS

  Jon,

  I have install from an iso in the data store all the time.  Whenever I have seen the error you receive, it is because of a damaged/corrupted iso file.  Try to download the iso file again.  No doubt, who will fix the problem.

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.
