• Installation of VMWare 6 on IBM Blade Server

  Hi all...

  I have an IBM Blade Server H with 5 blades.  4 blades run ESXi 5.5.  We have recently added a 5th blade and you want to install ESXi 6 thereon.  I have ISO for VMWare.  I connect to the blade center management, choose remote control and I connect to the blade in question using the console.  The tray for media and KVM options are defined on this blade.  I have put and mounted the drive remotely to the vmware image.

  Now what?  When I restart the blade all BIOS information survey, and then I get a screen that allows me to install and configure the blade.  One of the options is the boot device.  That's where I'm stumped.  Which device in the boot list is the image mounted in the tray?  I get a ton of startup options; CD/DVD, HDD 1-4, USB, PXE... no matter what option choose does not start.  How to start from the mounted image to install VMware?  Or do I have this all wrong?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  If I remember correctly, then you must connect to your blade chassis and start the remote console

  has chosen your blade and set drawer KVM and media so that the blade as the owner. Mount your Iso file, and then you should be able to boot from the CD/DVD as a startup option. (no USB DVD!)

  always worked for me, but you need to set the KVM drawer and the media as the owner of the remote console

  Also make sure you have a java that works.  Sometimes I need to downgrade the version of java to run it

  also didn't work well wit some browsers. That is to say can give some problem so I use firefox a lot for IBM or chrome

  Good luck

• VMWare ESXi 4 as a file server?

  Hello

  Got a server on VMWare ESXi 4, currently with a virtual more to come Linux machine.

  My goal is to use the server as a server from file/place of storage within the network of the company but also to test the environment (this is what I need several virtual machines for).

  My question is: is it possible to use ESXi 4 as a file server separately from the installed virtual machines? Or do I have to use one of the virtual machines as a storage place? If Yes, is there some way I can connect to this storage place WITHOUT using VMWare vSphere (that I currently use to manage the server)? Say, add network drive from Windows on the desktop.

  Those who resembles a fundamental questions for me however I am quite newbie here so I'm not really sure what can be done

  See you soon

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  As far as I KNOW, no, you cannot use VMware ESXi itself as a storage/file server.

  You must use VM in it and this VM should get this service to another customer.

  So you want to use this host (ESXi) as your test environment (put some VM on it to test it), you should pay attention to your bandwidth and the e/s, may be the test VM needs a lot of bandwidth or i/o and if your host may not respond to all virtual machines must (file server and test virtual machines) you will see a low performance.

  If I'm missing something; Please correct me, thank you.

• 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...

• 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.

  

• Virutal Center can work next to the Vmware ESXi management package

  Hi all

  VMware currently has a promotion on Vmware ESXi management kit which is basically a Virutal Center Foundation license. That being said if you already have a virtual Center Server for all of your ESX servers could run a 2nd VMware ESXi management kit virtual Center Server for all your ESXi servers in parallel? or they will conflict with each other?

  My understanding is you can run as many virtual servers Center like you license but you can have than 1 ESX Server any attached to 1 Virutal host at any given time.

  We run 7 instances vCenter, so yes it is possible.  In addition, as you said a host ESX (i) can be managed by a single instance of vCenter.

• Install VMware ESXi 5.5 on IBM x 3650 7979

  "VMware ESXi requires the Execute Disable / No. Execute CPU of fiction to be activated.

  You must enter the BIOS and the ability to set the "Disable bit" CPU = True

  Unfortunately, it seems that this server is not supported.

• 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.

• With ISA Server 2006 on VMWare ESXi

  Hello

  I installed isa server 2006 on a vmware esxi, server is the Server Blade HP Proliant dl380 G5 with 2 NIC the 1st network adapter, the ip address is 10.10.1.42, and it will be the external ip address because it is connected to the firewall with internet. The 2nd NIC ip is 10.10.1.43 and this is the only internally. I tried to test the connection to the isa by creating a rule to ping of localhost (isa) in-house, but it failed.

  I wanted to just my isa to be a web proxy, but from what I've read on some forums, I can not install isa on vmware? Can someone help me? Thank you.

  If you are running firewall ISA in ESXi host. It is doable. I guess it will be a unique Web cache system (no Firewall Advanced)

  This can be done on a unihomed Server (NETWORK card)

• 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.

• 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.

• 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
