Can the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter
Support ESXi with Lockdown Mode Enabled?
Yes. Lockdown Mode is supported in this release on hosts ESXi 5.0 and above.
When I tried to use lockdown mode, it failed.
When I added a host to the connection profile in lockdown mode, the inventory kicked off but failed stating that “No Remote Access
Controller was found or Inventory is not supported on this host.” Inventory is supposed to work for a host in lockdown mode, right?
If you put the host in lockdown mode or remove a host from lockdown mode, you must wait 30–minutes before performing the next
operation on the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.
What Setting Should I Use For
UserVars.CIMoeMProviderEnable With ESXi 4.1 U1?
Set UserVars.CIMoemProviderEnabled to 1.
I Am Using A Reference Server to Create a Hardware
Profile But it Failed. What Should I Do?
Check to make sure that minimum recommended versions of iDRAC firmware, Lifecycle Controller firmware, and BIOS are installed.
To make sure that the data retrieved from the reference server is current, enable Collect System Inventory On Restart (CSIOR), and
restart the reference server prior to extraction of data.
I Am Attempting to Deploy ESXi on a Blade Server and it
Failed. What Should I Do?
1. Make sure the ISO location (NFS path) and staging folder paths are accurate.
2. Make sure the NIC selected during assignment of server identity is on the same network as the virtual appliance.
3. If using static IP address, make sure the network information provided (including subnet mask and default gateway) is accurate. In
addition, , make sure the IPaddress is not already assigned on the network.
4. Make sure at least one Virtual Disk is seen by the system. ESXi also installs to an internal RIPS SD card.
Why are My Hypervisor Deployments Failing on my Dell
PowerEdge R210 II Machines?
A timeout issue on Dell PowerEdge R210 II systems produces a hypervisor deployment failure error due to the failure of the BIOS to boot
from the attached ISO. To resolve this issue, manually install hypervisor on the machine.
The NFS Share is Set Up With the ESXi ISO, but
Deployment Fails with Errors Mounting the Share
Location.
To find the solution:
1. Make sure the iDRAC is able to ping the appliance.
2. Make sure your network is not running too slow.
3. Make sure the ports: 2049, 4001 - 4004 are open and the firewall is set accordingly.
