Now take that ISO file that was created and use it to do a FRESH INSTALL. Yes, we all know that the HP/HPE D元80 G5 is not on the VMware Hardware Compatibility list, the last ESXi supported operating system was either 4.1 5.0, depending upon your Xeon version.

You will basically need to remove drivers from the HPE Customized 6.5 ISO and inject those from the 6.0 ISO. This takes a bit more work, but is probably the most comprehensive path to resolution. While you can certainly use this method, you will want to follow-up and manually install the appropriate driver VIBs from HPE. While this goes against many best practices, VMware doesnt offer too many vendor drivers in their ISO builds, so the offending drivers do not get installed and crash the system. Solution 1: Use VMware’s Standard ISO Media
#HP PROLIANT DL360 G5 VMWARE ESXI 5 UPGRADE#
Running an Upgrade does not remove the incompatible drivers, and the host doesn’t stay alive long enough before crashing to manually remove them via SSH. Note: All these workaround require a fresh install of ESXi. The Workarounds: There are various workarounds that I have personally found to work, while others have been resolutions I have read about after I dealt with this, so I was not able to verify that they do indeed work, but I will list them nevertheless. Upgrading the firmware, BIOS, etc did not resolve the issue. Yes, there are more than one driver with issues. The Issue: There are incompatible driver(s) in the customized ISO from HPE. The Error: “ PF Exception 14 in world 67667:sfcb-smx IP 0x0 addr 0x0″ Knowing this info, I assumed upgrading from ESXi 6.0 to 6.5 on G7 would work, but I found out quickly that after the upgrade the hosts would “Purple Screen of Death” (PSOD) right after boot. In fact, vSphere 6.5 is supposedly the last version that will support the G7s. HPE G7 Server support is being dropped by both HPE and VMware. In my case it was RAID5:Īfter clicking on “Create Login Drive” my RAID was provisioned.Upgrading VMware to ESXi 6.5 on HP G7 Servers will crash and cause you to scream and will require you to waste your time building a custom ISO that HPE could have easily done.īest practice is to use the vendor’s custom ISO’s that have the hardware drivers integrated, so I used HPE’s latest Custom ISO. VSAN will be used as storage layer for VDIs.

Then you need to select Smart Array P440ar controller as shown below: For a new End User Computing (EUC) project I installed a Hybrid Virtual SAN (VSAN) configuration on HP Proliant server hardware. Select “Intelligent Provisioning” and press enter. RAID configuration tool is already built in the server.ĭuring the boot process, you need to enter the “Intelligent Provisioning” tool by pressing F10. You do not need to have any special CD to configure the RAID settings. Setting up RAID 5 pretty straightforward on HP ProLiant D元80 server.

Out of 4 disks 1TB each, 3 TB is usable.After thinking about RAID 10 and RAID 5, I decided to go to RAID 5 as it provided the best cost-efficient solution in our case: This server is just for home use to run some VM's with ESXI 5.1 for my home network and some testing of new OS's etc. 4 slots were occupied by disk, each one is 1TB SSD disk. I have a HP D元60 G5 (1x 4core CPU, 4gb Ram, 4x 36gb SAS Hdd's) I am looking for some advice. The server comes as U1 standard factor with 8 slots for disks. I was running into performance issues, storage was performing poorly, and I needed to check for usual problems like for. In my lab I’m using a Proliant D元80 G5 filled with disk as a storage server, running some VSA on top of the volume I created and formatted with a vmfs filesystem. A few days ago I got a new toy ? It is a brand new HP ProLiant D元60 server with very impressive specs: Manage an HP Smart Array directly from VMware ESXi.
