Vmware Esxi is a very famous product in the field of server virtualization. There are times when installing Vmware Esxi5 on all kinds of servers is going well and there are times when you have a headache. Here's an analysis of the Vmware Esxi5 installation problems I encountered on the IBM server.

There are six new IBM X3850 X5 servers in the computer room with exactly the same hardware configuration. Five of them installed Vmware Esxi5 smoothly, but the last one always reported an error and could not install Vmware Esxi5. Specific error message:

1. CD booting failed

The IBM X3850 X5 server does not come with an optical drive itself, so I use a mobile external optical drive. The installation file of Vmware ESXI 5 can be downloaded from the official website of VMWARE, the size is 290m, and then burned to CD. First of all, put the burned ESXI5 disc into the machine, set the BIOS drive boot to the first place, open the machine to prompt the CD boot failure, suspect that there is something wrong with the CD and carve another one is still the same (so is changing the CD drive), and changing a LINUX boot disk can boot and install smoothly.

After checking the official website, prompt to add the LEGACY ONLY guide item.

Solution: press F1 to enter UEFI after post

Enter Boot Manager

Select the Add Boot Option option

Select Legacy Only and press enter.

Return to Boot Manager and select Change Boot Order

Select the existing Boot Order press enter, and select Legacy Only to adjust it to the first startup item with the + key.

Select Commit Changes and press enter to complete the modification.

The added effect is shown in the figure:

Second, can guide but still report an error

After setting up the Legacy Only boot, the Vmware ESXI 5 installation interface can appear, but an error message appears:

As shown in the figure

Upload and verify firmware

After upgrading UEFI, you will not see the update in "Virtual Product Data". Restart IMM.

After IMM restarts, upgrade FPGA, and restart IMM after the upgrade is successful.

After upgrading the above three firmware, you can see the updated estimated version number in "Virtual Product Data".

Firmware Type Version String Release Date

IMM YUOOE3C 06052012

UEFI G0E175BUS 06062012

DSA DSYT92O 02012012

FPGA G0UD82B 05152012

Then put in the installation CD of Vmware ESXI 5 and install it normally.
