Workstation 9 - broken PXE boot - works with 8 workstations

VMware Workstation 9 newly released, the PXE boot is broken. It works on the same machine with VMware Workstation 8.


Virtual machine specifications:

-Windows 7 and Windows 7 x 64

-Bridged networking

-2 1 processor cores

I tried on different hardware, without Windows Firewall, but the PXE boot is broken when you use Workstation 9. Any thoughts as to why her behave this way?

We are trying to perform a PXE boot and it gets everything stuck by sending requests for the services of pre-launch on the remote server, however, it seems that the return packets are not received. On 8 workstations, these are received and PXE boot works correctly.

There is no AV installed in the host operating system.

Wow, okay, just confirmed this seems to be a MAJOR bug in the work station 9, concerning ONLY to run 2 hearts or 2 CPUs. I tested with my cell phone would support all configurations (this is a quad core with hyperthreading). This applies in my case to Novell Zenworks Imaging, but can affect more.

Results
Config PXE
1 processor, 1 core Success
1 CPU, Core 2 In case of failure
1 CPU Core 3 Success
1 CPU, Core 4 Success
1 CPU, Core 6 Success
1 CPU, Core 8 Success
2 CPU, 1 core In case of failure
2 CPU, Core 2 Success
2 CPU, Core 3 Success
2 CPU, Core 4 Success
4 CPU, 1 core Success
4 CPU, Core 2 Success
8 CPU, 1 core Success

Now here it gets crazy. My issue seems to be with the v11.2.0.0 of the Agent Novell PXE (Preboot Execution). It says "Sending queries to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" then he received never actually do anything to continue the boot process, but ANY other config except 2 CPU or 2 cores CPU works fine.

  • LJ449AV: A MSI GTX 960 will work with my workstation Z420?

    Hello I was wondering if this map: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SAYDRP8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

    would work with my HP Z420 workstation? Thank you!

    Hello

    The support is broken.  However, if you have the model of the tower and the NVIDIA GTX 960 is the only graphics card then it should.

  • Workstation XW4300: xw4300 will not work with the recommended graphics card (Nvidia Quadro FX 3400)

    I installed a graphics card hoping to update my computer.  The Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 was the highest assigned

    graphics card recommended for the workstation xw4300 system HP specifications page.  My system

    has a 460W power supply and I connected the cable 6-pin on the map and the map pins in the PCIe x 16 slot where

    the old card was.

    When I turned on the machine, I don't have even get a bios message or welcome screen.  All black.  But on all 10

    seconds, the power would cycle off and then come back.  HP says that this map is supposed to work with my machine!

    This card appears, making it non-functional.

    Any ideas?

    I ended up going with the Nvidia Quadro FX 1400 card.  He is listed as 75W and the map of 'medium' recommended for this xw4300 system.  I paid 10 dollars for it on eBay and it works great.  Do not use the Quadro FX 3400 map even if it is recommended by HP for this machine.  Food can't support.

    A witch hunt.  Equipment old and new software don't always play nice.  My machine has a new installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on it, and running Windows Experience Index gives me the blue screen of death.  I put a meter on the power during the test problems... No..  It's a kind of driver incompatibility.  Win 7 says that the driver is the last, but he chokes on the

    test the index.  Funny irony is that I ran other tests which include benchmarking 3D rendering and nothing, but the Microsoft Windows Experience Index test stifles this card.  How about you do not run the Microsoft test to improve my Windows experience.  :/  Go figure.

    This card is older hardware, and because of that I don't have hope than Nvidia or Microsoft to make Windows experience test runs correctly with win7 64 OS.  Sounds like HP.

    Here's the kudo: the guy on eBay who I bought the card quickly refunded my money when he learned about the Blue error screen of death in Windows performance index test, so I did a free card.  I'll send her money

    Back to him.  I've never met anyone so accommodating.  These companies could take a lesson from that on what customer service means.  That's how you get regular customers.

    It's a little tricky because not apple USB drives do not work when booting the operating system, but it works if you read carefully. basically the process starts as usual, put the DVD in the DVD USB drive and start to Boot Camp, let to create the BootCamp partition, instead of restarting create a VM with the mapping of physical disk, begin the installation, restart Windows and finish using DVD USB.

  • X 1 carbon PXE Boot issues

    First of all Hello to everyone, and sorry if this has been asked / solved before... I couldn't find the option to search for the forum (its beginning, my brain is still asleep).

    I have problems with getting the carbon X 1 to perform a PXE boot, I connected to the network via the Lenovo USB / Ethernet adapter, and when I press F12 option LAN is here. This is where the problems begin.

    It you press ENTER to boot via the NETWORK card, the screen is black and the text "> on IPv4 PXE boot" is displayed, it takes about 30 / 40 seconds before heading to the start menu. He never starts with Ghost. I have double checked that I have the TFTP, the PXE server and the Ghostcast Server works (and has been tested with a Vaio).

    Anyone else see this issue? Correction of this problem?

    Thanks for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated


  • Is unable to PXE boot Windows 8 models

    We load the PCs with our own operating system image as they come. The process works outside a PXE (network) boot image.

    We recently started ording the X230s even, with a license of Windows 8. Lenovo said that there should be no changes needed with our image.

    However, we cannot perform a PXE boot these machines. We stop them and align them upwards a F12 on the bios boot screen and select PCI LAN.

    We get a message saying > on IPv4 PXE boot

    It blocks it there awhile, then tries to IPv6, then goes back to her lies of boot device.

    We got a green and a yellow flashing on the network connector. And we have PXE starts outside the context of many times

    What do we lack?

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply.

    We found that shut down the OS OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS got the results desired for us.

  • PXE cannot start with XPS 13 9350

    My company has recently had to buy a few new laptops due to expansion, and the XPS 12 9333 was no longer available, so we sold the XPS 13 9350 instead, having received assurance that it is the same system and everything will be supported as it was with the XPS 12. I ran through the normal steps in the BIOS to ensure a compatibility PXE boot (disable Secure Boot, select Startup inherited, etc. options), but when I hit the F12 key to try to perform a network boot I don't see the option in the start menu. All I see is Windows and the Samsung SSD Boot Manager. Someone at - it else here had this problem and managed to resolve it? We use Ethernet USB21000S2 StarTech adapters suggested, that Dell sold us.

    Trying to deal with their customer support has proven me why I HATE DELL with a passion. Advised to my boss to go with ASUS or Lenovo, but she wanted to go with Dell because of a long-standing commercial relationship. You can not get someone who speaks clear English on line, you will need to explain your problem 10 times before you finally get someone who is able/willing to help. No one seems to understand what I meant by PXE boot or told me he is not allowed on their laptops.

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for the reply. We have tried all the suggestions that you pointed out, but nothing has been able to get the Startech adapter to work. You don't know if it is related to two USB 3.0 ports or not, but it seems that the Startech USB21000 does not work with the Dell XPS 13 9350.

    I had to buy an adapter Ethernet USB - C, and which went through without any problems. About 1/2 also took time to the Startech adapter took which was a pleasant surprise.

    Hello

    I'm working on a configuration to boot PXE ENTIRELY automated with a kick start script.  The problem I have is just after the initial installation, Setup prompts the user to press the ENTER key.  And he is right there waiting for entry, making my PXE fully automated just a dream.  Has anyone figured out if there is flag that I can put in the Kick Start script to make quick installation not after install me?

  • CF cards will not correctly work with El Capitan

    Using a San Disk USB 3 card reader and the CalDigit FASTA 6GU3 + the PCI card. Everything works fine with 10.8.6, but with El Capitan, I can't copy anything that either of the maps - it hangs then ejects the card and I get an error message that the operation cannot be completed because error i/o and the drive was not ejected. Card back immediately, but the problems of the rehearsals. Boot in sys old and everything is good, then it seems to be a problem of El Cap have deleted previous CALDIGIT drivers for my previous card (which does not work with El Cap), so this isn't the problem.

    Did you mean 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?  There is no Cougar maxed out at 10.8.5 10.8.6.  If you mean the snow leopard, a lot of software is not compatible with 10.7 or later is with older versions.  There should be compatible Compact Flash readers on multifunction printers, as well as some readers you might find http://www.macsales.com

    If it's the same machine that came with 10.6, you can also install 10.6 on another partition or an external hard drive, or if it's a newer than July 20, 2011 Mac, you must put the option run Snow Leopard Server on your Mac.

  • Firefox works with Windows XP Professional-64 edition?

    I'll set up a new machine to run some program that doesn't work on Windows 7, but works on Windows XP Pro - 64, and some that will run on the 32-bit version. It is a dual-boot configuration, and I'm having a hard time getting IE to work. Took me time to try Firefox, but I can't access the Internet with IE. Is there a version of Firefox that works with Win XP Pro 64 bit?

    Firefox is a 32-bit executable. I'm not aware of any problems works on 64-bit Windows versions.

    Please note that 64-bit plugins won't work in Firefox, and you may need to do a few installs additional to get 32-bit and 64-bit plugins depending on how they have been packaged by their publishers.

    Hello

    It seems to work. Please try this: using 7-Zip you can extract the installer and create customizations, default, preferences, etc. inside \core\defaults. Then zip the kernel and the setup.exe in the .7z format. Using 7-ZIP SFX Maker , you can create a self-extracting exe from the compressed file .7z with the required parameters. In 7-ZIP SFX files tab add (+) machine archive .7z created previously and in the Execute tab add (+) setup.exe in the field program and the ms in Arguments. Also, in general (it's for SFX machine), deselect the option allow the user to change the path and select hide the progress of extraction.

  • Pavilion p7 - 1226 s: card Nvidia GT 710 does not work with the P7-1226 Pavilion

    I installed a graphics card from EVGA Nvidia GT 710 in my Pavilion p7 - 1226, and when I turned on the PC, he remained at the HP splash screen and all does not load more. It would also give a single beep every so often. I can not enter the Boot Options by pressing ESC. I removed the card and the PC worked fine again. I checked the card before removing it and it has been installed.

    I had already installed a 430W power supply, so power in watts is not the issue.

    I have studied the issue online, and it seems that the problem may be with the motherboard of the PC HP (IPISB-CU), not the card. Can someone tell me how to get this card to work with this PC, please?

    Thank you!

    SJTemp, welcome to the forum.

    The GT 730 graphics card requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS / Legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  There is no way to upgrade the BIOS in the UEFI.  I suggest you to contact EVGA Tech Support (1-888-881-3842) to see that if they can help you make the card work.  Otherwise, who needs no UEFI cards of the GT 640.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.
