    ESXi EVC Compatibility

    Thanks dasaint, came across something similar to that, but those links you posted give me a bit more info. Came across this a short while after I posted this, tried it and I can vMotion a machine back and forth without issue...

    ESXi EVC Compatibility

    I have 2 servers, one is a Lenovo TS430 (044116U) E3-1240 w/ 20GB Ram, and the other is an X8SIL-F w/ X3440 and 12GB Ram. Yesterday I upgraded vCenter, and the Lenovo host to 5.1, while the X8SIL host is still at 4.1. What I wanted to do was enable it so I could vMotion machines across to...

    ESXi 5.0 + Asrock970 Ex3 + M1015 = loading module megaraid_sas driver

    Thats the same kind of log entries I was getting before making that bios change. I'd email asrock support and see what they have to say about that option.

    ESXi 5.0 + Asrock970 Ex3 + M1015 = loading module megaraid_sas driver

    You may need to contact ASrock support and ask them about that specific options for that motherboard and see what they have to say. I'm not 100% certain, but, this option (or lack of) maybe whats causing esxi to choke on that driver. Have you looked at the logs while its loading to see what...

    ESXi 5.0 + Asrock970 Ex3 + M1015 = loading module megaraid_sas driver

    Does it completely hang, or just take a long time (5mins+) to go past loading that driver? It never really hung for me, just took a long time to load until I found the information I posted in the last post on that thread. PCI Rom Priority <- is the key setting, try to find that in the bios...

    ESXi 5.0 + LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i

    Disabled IRQ remapping and rebooted host, unfortunately, still the length delay and resets. Thought i'd post a bigger snippet of the log containing all the megaraid_sas info, from loading to success: 2012-03-04T18:41:53.426Z cpu4:2626)Loading module megaraid_sas ...

    How do you patch your ESXi 5 (Vsphere Hypervisor) Server?

    You can download the vsphere client (that runs on your local desktop) for free, its needed to connect to the ESXi machine to do anything. At least I was able to, going through the normal downloads.

    ESXi 5.0 + LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i

    The firmware when I got the machine initially was 20.10.1-0029, but I updated it to the latest firmware of 20.10.1-0077 from LSI's website while I was doing the u1 update to the machine. But there is still the delay on the latest firmware.

    ESXi 5.0 + LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i

    So I just recently got my hands on a Lenovo ThinkServer TS430 which happens to have an LSI 9240-8i controller card. I don't have any drives for it yet, trying to source the hot swap tray for cheaper then $70 bucks :( I have the drives (1TB WD Blacks), and going to setup a RAID10 array with 6...

    How do you patch your ESXi 5 (Vsphere Hypervisor) Server?

    Just download it on your desktop, and using vSphere Client, upload it to the data store. If its network storage, can copy it that way to, whichever way works for how your system is configured. As an example, I have a NFS share on a windows server that contains ISOs, so I just copied it via...
