Hi Saurabh Sorry I made a mistake on the firmware release. The server firmware is now on 1.4(3x) and Esxi is 5.0.0 I tried using Cisco custom images for 4.1 and 5.1 and 5.5 nothing worked. I managed to get 5.0 loaded and an going to try upgrade the host instead of doing a fresh install.

Hi Keny, Thanks for the reply. I did check the compatibility matrix on Cisco's site and on VMware but they were of little help. I finally got VMware loaded though. I had to downgrade the server components to 1.2 using the Cisco UCS Host Upgrade Utility. After that I was able to install ESXi 5.0

Hi All, I am having an issue installing VMware ESXI on an old C210 M2 server I have. Server Specs: C210 M2 - Single Xeon E5620 2.4 GHz - 12 GB RAM - 8 X 300GB SAS Drives The server was a former DMM server that I am trying to repurpose. I have followed the server setup guide and reconfigured the drive configurations creating a virtual drive 0 from two disks for the ESXI host and creating a virtual drive 1 with the remaining disks for the main storage. When installing VMware (4.1 or 5.0 or 5.1) I get the error shown in the attached screen shot. I read on some other forums that the Dell guys have had this error before and it was due to the LSI controller firmware. A simple upgrade fixed their issues but I cant from anything on Cisco servers having this issue. I have upgraded the controller in my server but to no avail. Does anyone has any ideas? Next I am going to try the Cisco UCS Host Upgrade Utility to bring all the components of the server to the same level and try the installation again.

Hi All, Has anyone seen the below error before when trying to login to the SNS server? We are using LDAP Accounts and not even the local super user account works. The only way to gain access to the SNS page now is to login to DMM and select SNS from the DMM admin page.

Ok so after some investigation we found that the DME runs Windows Embedded as its OS. We managed to get a copy of the OS and performed a windows repair using an external USB DVD drive. The DME is now back up and running.
