Re: The problem in the installation of ESX 3i on IBM HS21
Thank you, Aaron ! The problem has been solved. It is because of the Microcode Level of the CPU. The ESXi demands for the same Level of the Multi CPUs, so we need to check it before installation. If there are different levels, we could update the firmware of the BIOS. Otherwise, we will have to change one of the CPUs. 2009/3/11 Aaron Peeler > Hello Jie, > > Probably - it may only work on specific HW, although it seems like it would > install on all the HS21s models. > > I suggest to ask on one of the vmware forums. > > Good luck, Let us know if you find anything. > Aaron > > > > > --On March 11, 2009 12:11:22 PM +0800 杨杰 wrote: > > hi, >> I'm now preparing to run vcl on the esx 3i server( update 3).

Re: The problem in the installation of ESX 3i on IBM HS21
If I've understood you correctly, you are having a hard time installing ESX 3i on your blades? Were you able to have it install anywhere successfully? Have you tried another install media? How about making an ESX 3i bootable keychain? I have had success creating a keychain and booting from that keychain to test a server's compatability with ESX 3i. ESX 3i does have a hardware compatability matrix which is a short list. What does it say about your compatability? If you can get any more information, please post it.

Re: The problem in the installation of ESX 3i on IBM HS21
Hello Jie, Probably - it may only work on specific HW, although it seems like it would install on all the HS21s models. I suggest to ask on one of the vmware forums. Good luck, Let us know if you find anything. Aaron --On March 11, 2009 12:11:22 PM +0800 杨杰 wrote: hi, I'm now preparing to run vcl on the esx 3i server( update 3).
