• Custom ESXi from VMware ESXi vs Dell

  I'm trying to consolidate all our servers (P2V). My question is what distro ESXi should I use for my VMware servers or Dell custom? We currently have vSphere Essentials and yesterday 4.0 Update 2 is out. What will be my most safe/reliable and recommended approach.

  Material:

  2 x Dell PowerEdge R510 (ESXi via USB)

  1 x Dell PowerEdge 2850 (vCenter)

  Current options:

  (1) use 4u2 ESXi and vCenter 4u2 directly from the VMware site.

  (2) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell customized) and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter. (the ESXi Dell 4u2 is not available)

  (3) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell custom) Dell site and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter.

  (4) another idea?

  Thanks for any help!

  The version of Dell has the right ICD (but the vanilla version works as well) and the ready to run Dell OpenManage.

  You can add this tool later or boot from the Dell U1 version and use VMware Update Manager to upgrade to the version of U2.

• ESXi and Dell Poweredge T410 install issues...

  Hello, we just bought a spanking new beand Dell Poweredge T410 with S300 raid Card... useless day, Esxi 4.0 or 4.1 will not install on it... We get an error message during the installation:

  "Could not find a data device to decompress the image for.

  This server was prchased Feb 2011... can someone tell me how I can get installed on esxi?

  The S300 controller isn't a device supported for ESXi. You must add a supported RAID controller. There are many other RAID controllers available for this server. The Perc 5 and 6 controllers are also good choices and are available on sites like e - bay, etc.

• Dell PowerEdge 840

  I have a PowerEdge 840 Server with 2 SATA drives inserted.  Both are blank discs.  When I turn on the server, I finally get to a point where I get the message:

  BMC Setup "press."

  Strike F1 to Christine boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  I press F1 and I don't see anything unusual.  So I escape and he returned finally to the same place.

  Just before what the server was very good start.  One of the other server tech in our Church (we are a small organization with the support of volunteer) removed the SAS drives that have been configured in Raid 1 and replaced by SATA drives and he said that it reset the Configuration of SAS utility make it RAID 0.  I'm not familiar with the SAS 5 configuration utility so I don't know how to check if he did properly but it seems that this error now appears after doing the unusual changes.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you v e

  I'm not sure that understand the problem... it does not start the operating system? With blank discs, it shouldn't, right? In addition, change the RAID configuration would mean that it should not. Sorry if I'm missing something, but it seems that the work is half done and the operating system must be reinstalled or a restored backup.

  Also, if it's not too late (looks like that's not), do not use RAID 0. Configure RAID 1 instead.

• ESXi 4 - Dell Poweredge 2950

  Dell - PE 2950

  64 GB of RAM

  2 * 3.16 and processors quad Core (Intel x 5460)

  Last Bios version (2.6.1)

  ESXi Version 3.5 update 4 has worked without problems

  It wasn't an upgrade.

  New installation

  ESXi v4 - update 1 (Build 164009) was loaded on a USB (same as the one used for 3.5)

  When it starts, it gets that

  "vfat loaded successfully."

  Rest for 20 seconds, then returns this error:

  "Cannot find the Boot Partition.

  There are two virtual disks freshly wiped in the system (no not required).

  Any ideas?

  ESXi 4 can be installed from the CD on a USB - try that if you haven't done so already.

  Otherwise, install to local disks.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• PowerEdge 840: USB keyboard and mouse not working not.

  Hello everyone.

  Yesterday, I pursached a used Dell Poweredge 840 to function as a backup server, I'm having a few problems with it but I can't understand.

  I installed the server with Windows Server 2003 x 86 edition and downloaded the drivers on the Dell site. It works perfectly, except for one problem:

  USB keyboards and mouse refuse to work.

  PS/2 works fine however, but any USB keyboard or mouse will not work.

  Flash USB drives read very well, therefore I used to recover some files on the machine before, but it was connected to the network, USB keyboard and mouse do not work.

  They are not recognized at startup and do not allow to enter the setup of the BIOS after Windows has started, that they are not always recognized. Windows displays the device as unknown device.

  I tried to boot from a live CD of 14.04 Lubuntu, in which the USB keyboard and mouse do not work either. Only PS/2 wants to work.

  I have tried different types of USB mouse:

  • Microsoft mouse
  • Acer OEM mouse
  • Mouse laser Logitech M-U0007

  None of them could work, although they work fine on my laptop, the main file server which is a model of HP and Dell Optiplex desktop computer.

  I tried a few different USB keyboards as well, but they refuse to work.

  I ended up borrowing a pair of keyboard and mouse PS/2 to configure the server, but I want it to work with my USB keyboard and mouse.

  Just for the record: the USB flash drives do not work very well, it's just the keyboard and mouse is not working.

  Anyone know how I can get there?

  Thanks in advance,

  Dominique

  Hello.

  Unplug all devices connected to the USB and PS/2 ports. Unplug the AC power cable, wait about 1 minute and then press in and hold the button for about 15 seconds. Reconnect the power and power on the server. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports and try again.

• 5.4 OpenManage cannot initialize new disks PowerEdge 840

  I'm bored of Array Manager. I think Openmanage is a poor substitute.

  I have a new Dell PowerEdge 840 Server with two disks SAS and SAS 5i/R controller of berries in a mirror Raid-1 (made in hardware)

  I have installed OpenManage 5.4 WITH the storage option.

  I put two new hard drives SAS I want to initialize and create another virtual disk of Raid-1.

  OpenManage sees the drives (loans and OK but not online) and gives me two options under tasks "Blink" and "Unblink.

  Now when I put two drives in my component Snap Server PowerEdge 1600SC Array Manager 3.6 MMC 3 years, I could create a virtual disk from the operating system.

  What happens with Array Manager. Why he let do this to me?

  What is going on? Why can't initialize new disks and create a virtual disk?

  It comes to my main server. I can't take it offline for 10 hours initialize disks.

  I went into Windows disk management and that he sees the drives but I don't want a Software Raid.

  Thank you

• 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.

• 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.

• OK, I NEED someone TO HELP me INSTALL LESS ESXi 5.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server! And of course, HE IS No. TUTORIAL on this SITE FOR ME HELP!

  As I said earlier:

  OK, I am trying to install vSpere on my Dell PowerEdge 1950.

  Hardware specifications:

  4 GB FB-DIMM DDR2 memory

  x 2 processor Intel Xeon, 2 carrots, 3.00 GHz

  There a RAID BIOS, so I had to create a Raid 0 virtual disk to install anything.

  Drive hard WD 1 TB, it's the one I use for the VD.

  When I choose which hard drive I use, I select the VD, I created, I select my keyboard language, then the configuration scan my material, then he asks me if if want to install, I pressed F11. Then, when it reached 5%, it throws an error: "partedUtil failed with the message: error: can not have a partition outside the disk!

  He says that it cannot install it on a virtual drive? My server is not compatible?

  Edit: There is another error that says: cannot read the partition table for device:

  /VMFS/devices/disks/NAA.60019b90bd8289001e62575a584731e0

  What is going on!!! Why vmware cannot have tutorials on "How to install Esxi on a server with RAID BIOS"?

  Check if the virtual HARD disk you packed is initialized. It seems that the installation is not written on this HARD drive. Back to the HARD Disk Manager (you probably PERC5 / I) to start the process I think is CTRL + R? find your virtual drive and launch. Take a look at the image as an attachment.

• Install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820

  
  Greetings,

  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820 server.  I have problems with the reason of the installation because the NETWORK adapter is not supported by the operating system (5.1 ESXi).  I did a little research and discovered that there are custom versions of ESXi out there to install on vaious systems.  That would be the problem?  If so, does anyone know a particluar website that I might be able to get the correct version of ESXi 5.1 for this server dell PowerEdge R820.
  Here are the specs:
  Dell PowerEdge R820 - RAID 5
  Interface NETWORK Broadcom 1 GB card

  Xeon processors (w / 8 cores)
  512 GB RDIMMS
  3 x 146 GB SAS hot plug hard drive

  Any help would be great!  Thank you!!
