VMware ESXi

From: Adam S. on 24 Sep 2009 23:17 i have one client on ESXi 4.0 with SBS 2003 + plus two member servers, no problem. Small dentistry, 4 workstations, no hiccups. SBS is DNS/DHCP, static IP, no problems what so ever. Tim H wrote: > Thanks Cliff! I appreciate it.

From: AllenM on 25 Sep 2009 11:04 Well like you Tim this is just for playing around. Eventually I'll wipe it all off and do it all again and will be documenting everythis for verification and for SOP's. I will need to have one W2K3 for legacy apps that have not been certified to tun on W2K8. I'm also curious to see if I can use a virtual W2K8 server for Citrix. Just playing around right now and learning on my own. Thanks and enjoy your play time.

From: AllenM on 25 Sep 2009 13:33 Hey Tim, I'm running into technical difficulties try to load a gust OS on my newmly created VM server. I've got the CD loaded into the host machine. I even went into the the virtual machine bios and made sure the boot order is correct. I've gone into the VM console and select for the DVD/CD "Connect to host device". I power off the VM then power back on and expect to see the VM boot from the CD and begin the W2K3 installation. Appears to not be recognizing the host CD or something. any tips?

From: AllenM on 25 Sep 2009 14:04 OK so now I am sure it does not reecognize the CD/DVD. See below message from the Event Log. "Message from ESXiHostServer.MyDomain.local: No bootable device was detected. A bootable device might be a CD, floppy, hard disk, or network device, as when booting with PXE. To install an operating system, insert a bootable CD or floppy and restart the virtual machine."

From: Tim H on 25 Sep 2009 22:38 Hi Allen, Sorry I have been out of pocket all day today. You need to have the CD in the Drive of the client machine. "Power on" the VM server through the client and then click the DVD/CD Connect button. It is kind of confusing but I actually had to have the cd in the client not the actual server. Let me know how you make out.
