• VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

  Hi all

  I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

  I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

  I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

  Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

  Kind regards

  Michael Lange

  I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

  You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

  What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

  If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• Free converter of VMware ESXi datastore

  I need to convert a physical server in a virtual machine using VMware converter and have a few questions.

  (1) can I P2V in a data store with the free app converter VMware ESXi?

  (2) I need the physical machine to be still in production after the conversion, until I get the configuration of the virtual machine, that's how the conversion or I lose my physical server?

  Thank you

  David

  (1) Yes, it works perfectly, I did it a few times

  (2) this is how it works. You can choose to turn on after creation or not, and if you do not connect the network you can turn on the virtual machine and use it at the same time as the physical

• Cannot find a device supported to write image vmware esxi 4.1.0

  I have a Dell Poweredge R410 (service tag XXJ1FQ1) with a Raid 10 for PERC S300 controllers with 4X250GB drives.

  I downloaded the iso 4.1.0 ESXI and can boot from the DVD, but after agreeing to the terms. The installation program will fail and I get this error:

  «Could not find a device supported to write image VMware ESXI 4.1.0 to.»

  I checked the compatibility Web site: http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/detail.php?deviceCategory=server & productid = 4932 deviceCategory = server & partner = 23 & releases = 24 & keyword = poweredge % 20r410 & systemTypes = 2 & page = 4 & display_interval = 10 & sortColumn = Partner & sortOrder = CSA

  And my system should be OK.

  Has anyone experience this problem? And how to do this?

  Easy.  You cannot use the card s300.

  S300 work only in windows environments.  I also learned that the way lasts.  (Thanks Dell!)

  Pick up a Perc 6 / i and you will be ready to go.

• VMware ESXi does not support the RAID on HP Proliant ML110 G5 drives

  Hello

  I installed VMware ESXi on my HP Proliant ML110 G5. I got 3 hard drives on my server at the moment, one of them is VMware ESXi and other two are RAID1.
  Whenever I connect to my server via vSphere client I have the chance to see every HARD drive (datastore) separately.  Is it possible that VMware does not RAID installation?
  I would need to see these two hard drives as a data store. Do you have any ideas on how I can do?
  Thank you.

  like any other typical server, you need to configure the sata raid controller RAID5/RAID0. but keep in mind that this controller without any battery backed cache would have very horrible performance. Another way is that you can use datastore span to provide as a large store of data, but if you lose all of the computer, you will lose all data.

• License of VMware ESXi

  Hi all

  I want to know if the VMware ESXi can be used situation?

  Hi William - Welcome in the community.

  The answer is Yes.

  The free version of ESX, I can be uised in production - although you won't get any agreement with her support - so you don't have to rely on VMware etc. communities for support (not ideal for production)

  There are a series of oif types of licenses that can be puyrchased - according to your needs.

  I think VMWare are happy with thismodel, because once most companies see the benefits of VMware virtualization and save on hardware, etc., most go to buy licenses that include additional features such as vCenter, support, vMotion and so on.

  ESXi (free version) has not built DR (like HA), or the distribution of resources (DRS) - If you are quite limited.

  In short, although that - Yes is the answer to your question.

  PS - Your first install ESXi will give you access to all the functions for a limited time - but once this period runs out, you will be limited to a limited ESXi installation. ESXi is the complete functionility of normal ESX, when it is fully licensed.

• 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.

• 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.

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

  KO 2139396

  • Resolved issues. This version of vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b solves the problems that have been documented in the resolved issues section.

• 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.

• HP Proliant Gen8 DL380e not charge controller B320i with VMWare ESXi 5.0 U3

  Hello community.
  
  Iam trying to install VMWare ESXi 5.0 U3 on a HP Proliant DL380e Gen8 server that has a B320i controller, I'm using support custom installation of HP, but yet when I select target the device doesn't show anything, I tried to raid 1+ 0 and raid 5, but I get No result.

  You can try the custom HP VMWare 5.5 ISO instead? Or do you need a reason 5.0 any?

  I'm running a Gen8 DL380e with 5.5 Update 1 without problems. 5.5 Update 2 has some problems about the new version of the hpvsa driver that gives massive drops in virtual machines to run.

  You have a BBU (battery backup) installed?

  It is also for the execution of the last PSP (Proliant ServicePack) to get the latest firmware and the BIOS before installing.

• Configuration of IPSec in VMWare ESXi can be applied to virtual machines running?

  Hello

  I have an operating system running inside VMWare ESXi 5.1.  Let's call is "MyLinux".  It is a modified version of Linux which does not support IPSec.  So I try to get VMWare to manipulate IPSec for MyLinux.

  I used esxcli orders to successfully create configurations for IPSec between VMWare itself and other systems.

  However, I wonder if I can use the same esxcli commands to configure IPSec between MyLinux and other systems?  In my tests, VMWare does not perform tunneling IPSec data between the running machines and other virtual systems.

  It is an illustration of the configuration I created for MyLinux in VMWare.  I also have a security policy that is not visible.

  When I captured a trace TCP ping between MyLinux and the external system, MyLinux never sent the IPSec packets. Everything was sent in the clear.  This suggests that VMWare does not apply the rule for MyLinux, but I would like to confirm.  Thank you.

  When you configure IPSec on ESXi, you sécuriserez the VMkernel traffic, not the virtual machine... If you want to protect the traffic of the virtual machine, you will need to enable IPSec on guest operating system.

  Here is more information on IPSec on ESXi: VMware KB: IPv6 and IPsec configuration on vSphere ESX and ESXi 4.1, 5.x ESXi
