Re: How to run Citrix XenServer 5.5 on VMware vSphere

Virtualpro — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:40:03 -0000

I've had a look at my settings and they are exactly the same as what your using. I presume the error message you get is when you are installing the XenServer software?

Were you able to see the logs? Maybe connect the VMDK to another virtual machine and try and view the installation logs

The other thing I would do is MD5 check the ISO media, just in case it's causing you problems.

One other question would be what kind of processor does your vSphere 4 box have?

I received error:
Unrecoverable error has occurred.The details of the error ca be found in the log file. Which has been written to /tmp/install-log (and /root/install-log on your hard disk if possible)
etc
Reboot

I select:
LInux RedHat 5(64bit)
1CPU
1GB Ram
LSI Logic Parallel (SCSI 0:0)
vcmi disable
cpuid mask (expose nx/xd)
paravirtualized (disabled)
cpu/mmu virtualization (automatic, but i tryed also the VT-x/amd-v for mmu and for ept)

Every time error

What about your settings?

Re: How to: Install QLogic HBA Libraries for HP Insight Manager on ESX 3.5 / 4

Thats the general idea. firmware revisions, hardware revision, etc. In the same directory as the install files there is a program called hbaapitest. You run this by typing ./hbaapitest within the service console. It gives an output of all the standard SNIA information. Good for troubleshooting!

Thanks,

HP Insight Manager will not show you the health or status of the HBA's in your ESX server without these API libraries installed.

These do not affect the operation or functionality of the HBA's, it's purely for monitoring.

what do you use these APIs for?
what types of HBA functionality do you use with these APIs using insight manager?

I got it working. dont try and restore from a removable device make sure you copy it to your Hard Disk. Aslo worth mentioning 7-Zip is like winrar but so much better and its freeware. Thanks for the post.

I'd be interested in one as well.
Mostly work on a mac. It's a PITA to have to connect to a windows host on the ESXi server to manage it -_-
