VMware Infrastructure安装指南-CreateBy KevinZu 20080623-概述：ESX功能强大，故障转移能力超强，组织决定用它；ESX为服务器端，VIM为管理端，即VMware Infrastructure Managment（原名VMware VirtualCenter）目的：指导如何安装ESX3.5到SATA硬盘上（从3.5开始支持SATA硬盘），如何解决安装中出现的问题安装方法：一、 准备：a) 当然电脑两台（一台用的是SATA硬盘，用以安装ESX3.5；一台用以安装VIM2.5）b) U盘一个（可能你会用它）c) VMware Infrastructure 3.5 CD两张（1CD :ESX 3.5 ; 1CD : VMware Infrastructure Management 2.5）d) Linux live CD 一张 （可能你会用它）二、 安装ESX3.5：a) 将ESX 3.5安装到有SATA硬盘的裸机上，用光碟启动，会安装操作系统的都会。b) 安装结果可能如下：i. 无法安装，找不到支持的存储设备或网卡（请查看官方HCL）ii. 安装成功并可以启动到ESX界面iii. 安装成功，但启动出错错误提示：Mounting root failed. Dropping into basic maintenance shell. To collect logs for vmware, connect a USB storage device and run “bin/vm-support ”. Machine will be rebooted when youi exit from this shell. BusyBox v0.60.5(2007.10.10-06:09+0000) Built-in shell (ash)Enter “help” for a list of built-in commands. sh:cant access tty; job control truned off解决方法请见附录三、 安装VIM2.5安装VIM到Windows2000及以上版本的服务器操作系统上，太简单，里面有破解文件，自己搞，如果不会，劝你不要玩四、 VIM客户端可以装在很多操作系统上，自己查附录：ESX安装成功，但启动出错的四种解决方案请根据你的能力情况自行选择解决方案一：（控制台修改脚本法）1. 查看SATA适配器VENDOR_ID及DEVICE_ID；方法：在启动时即将进入硬盘引导时按PAUSE键（如图），记下这个两个数值，本案例假设是MCP61 NVidia卡；VENDOR_ID是10de ；DEVICE_ID是03f6；（还有其他的查看方法，请看附录）2. 启动ESX，在启动菜单中选择Service Console only (troubleshooting mode)3. 用root登陆，密码是你在安装ESX时设置的4. 用vi编辑相关驱动文件（请参照下表）VENDOR_ID808610de11661095如果表中没有列出你的SATA卡的 VENDOR_ID，请直接打开/etc/vmware/pciid/下的*.xml文件查看即可找到相关文件厂商INTeLNVidiaServerWorksSIL/CMD驱动文件ata_piix.xmlSata_nv.xml驱动文件路径：/etc/vmware/pciid/；本例驱动文件是sata_nv.xml；方法：转到驱动目录：cd /etc/vmware/pciid打开编辑窗口：vi sata_nv.xml 将文件的最后部分037f改为 03f6（DEVICE_ID），将控制器“MCP55 Nvidia .”改为“MCP61 Nvidia.”（vi命令的使用方法：按i进入编辑状态；编辑完成后按Esc退出编辑状态；按：并输入wq即保存退出，输入q不保存退出。详细使用方法请见）5. 运行编译：esxcfg-pciid6. 重新启动系统，ok解决方案二：（远程修改脚本法）1. 查看SATA适配器VENDOR_ID及DEVICE_ID；方法：在启动时即将进入硬盘引导时按PAUSE键（如图），记下这个两个数值，本案例假设是MCP61 NVidia卡；VENDOR_ID是10de ；DEVICE_ID是03f6；（还有其他的查看方法，请看附录）2. 启动ESX，在启动菜单中选择Service Console only (troubleshooting mode)3. 启用ssh，方法是编辑sshd_config文件。在命令行中输入：Cd /vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config滚动到PermitRootLogin那一行，将no 改为 yes，保存退出4. 重新启动sshd服务：方法是在命令行输入Service sshd restart，这样就可以从远程计算机用scp或winscp直接拷贝、编辑ESX上的文件了5. 用scp工具编辑相关驱动文件（请参照下表），（没用过scp）VENDOR_ID808610de11661095如果表中没有列出你的SATA卡的 VENDOR_ID，请直接打开/etc/vmware/pciid/下的*.xml文件查看即可找到相关文件厂商INTeLNVidiaServerWorksSIL/CMD驱动文件ata_piix.xmlSata_nv.xml驱动文件路径：/etc/vmware/pciid/；本例驱动文件是sata_nv.xml；将文件的最后部分037f改为 03f6（DEVICE_ID），将控制器“MCP55 Nvidia .”改为“MCP61 Nvidia.”6. 运行编译：esxcfg-pciid7. 重新启动系统，ok解决方案三：（控制台上传脚本法）1. 查看SATA适配器VENDOR_ID及DEVICE_ID；方法：在启动时即将进入硬盘引导时按PAUSE键（如图），记下这个两个数值，本案例假设是MCP61 NVidia卡；VENDOR_ID是10de ；DEVICE_ID是03f6；（还有其他的查看方法，请看附录）2. 下载gosata.sh；2用WinHex修改20行，将VENDOR_ID=10de改为VENDOR_ID=10de；3用WinHex修改25行，将DEVICE_ID=037f改为DEVICE_ID=03f6，保存退出3. 启动ESX，在启动菜单中选择Service Console only (troubleshooting mode)4. 启用ssh，方法是编辑sshd_config文件。在命令行中输入：Cd /vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config滚动到PermitRootLogin那一行，将no 改为 yes，保存退出5. 重新启动sshd服务：方法是在命令行输入Service sshd restart，这样就可以从远程计算机用scp或winscp直接拷贝、编辑ESX上的文件了6. 上传脚本文件gosata.sh到目录/root（没用过SCP，略）7. 授权并运行脚本gosata.sh。在命令行输入：cd /rootchmod a+x gosata.sh./ gosata.sh8. 重新启动系统，ok解决方案四：（Linux live CD启动修改法）1. 查看SATA适配器VENDOR_ID及DEVICE_ID；方法：在启动时即将进入硬盘引导时按PAUSE键（如图），记下这个两个数值，本案例假设是MCP61 NVidia卡；VENDOR_ID是10de ；DEVICE_ID是03f6；（还有其他的查看方法，请看附录）2. 启动ESX，在启动菜单中选择Service Console only (troubleshooting mode)3. 用root登陆，密码是你在安装ESX时设置的4. 在/下创建ttt目录并授权所有人可读/写。方法是在命令行下输入：cd /mkdir tttchmod a+rw ttt5. 下载脚本enable_ml115_sata_esx3.5_v0.2a.txt；用WinHex修改39行，将“10de:037f”改为“10de:03f6”；3用WinHex修改39行，将“037f”改为“03f6”，保存并拷贝到U盘6. 用Linux live CD启动7. 将U盘插到ESX电脑上，然后将U盘上的 enable_ml115_sata_esx3.5_v0.2a.txt 拷贝到/ttt下，并重命名为esx.txt8. 将esx.txt脚本中CRLF字符替换为LF字符（CRLF在Linux下无法被识别，会产生一个“command not fount”的错误）。方法是在命令行下输入：cd /cd /tttecho “find . name *.txt exec perl i n e s/015/;print ;” fixscript.txt9. 授予脚本运行权限。方法是打开terminal（即控制台），在命令行下输入：sudo bash （提升用户运行权限，是运行脚本的前提条件，重要！）cd /cd /tttchmod +x fixscript.txt （授予脚本运行权限）chmod +x esx.txt （同上）10. 运行脚本。方法是打开terminal（即控制台），在命令行下输入：（环境要求：必须把“/boot”装在“/dev/sda1”，把“/”装在“/dev/sda2）./fixscript.txt （运行脚本）./esx.txt （运行脚本）11. 重新启动ESX即可如何在Linux系统中查看VENDOR_ID及DEVICE_ID从Linux Live CD引导或启动ESX到Service Console only (troubleshooting mode)模式，在控制台执行这个命令“lspci -v -nn | less”找到你的SATA控制器你应该可以看到一个IDE controller，如果是未知设备则末尾就有device id脚本下载地址：enable_ml115_sata_esx3.5_v0.2a.txt：/thread/116768?tstart=0&start=30gosata.sh：/thread/116768?tstart=0&start=75Linux Live CD下载地址: /community/LiveCD/knoppix/index-en.html/debian-cd/4.0_r0-rc1/i386/iso-cd/其他Running ESX 3i Installable from a USB Flash DriveESX Server 3i Installable was released in December 2007 as the counterpart to 3i Embedded which was designed to run from flash memory allowing for the deployment of diskless servers. ESX Server 3i Installable on the other hand does require a hard drive for the install process. It is possible to copy the install image from the 3i Installable install CD onto a USB flash drive and then run 3i from it. This was originally documented here: /message/825686. While not supported, its great for a test or training server or for a server that does not have a supported disk controller. Once installed, it is possible to connect to an iSCSI or NFS server for storage of your virtual machines. This page documents the process of creating a USB flash drive for this purpose. The procedure is available in a video format as well (avi / flash).Note: this procedure is not supported by VMware for running production servers.1) Youll need some software to extract and then copy the image to the flash drive. Ive used 7-zip and WinImage for this document. 2) Open the 3i Installable CD image (VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD-3.5.0-67921.i386.iso) with 7-zip and extract the file install.tgz.3) Open install.tgz with 7-zip and then extract install.tar.4) Open install.tar with 7-zip and extract the file VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0-67921.i386.dd.bz2 from /usr/lib/vmware/installer.5) Extract the file VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0-67921.i386.dd from VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0-67921.i386.dd.bz2. This will be the install image that will be copied to the flash drive and it will be 750 MB in size. 6) Open WinImage and select Restore Virtual Hard Disk image on physical drive. from the Disk menu. If you are running WinImage on Vista, youll want start WinImage as administrator with the Run as Administrator option or by using the WinImage (Administrator) program shortcut. 7) Select the USB drive that the image will be restored to.8) Select the file VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0-67921.i386.dd that was extracted in step 5. You will have to select the All files (*.*) option to see the image file. Once you select it, youll be prompted with the below warning before the copy process starts. The copy should take about 3 minutes.9) Once you have completed the copy, you should see the following partitions on the USB flash drive.10) You can now insert the USB drive into your server. The server should support USB boot. In the BIOS youll be able to set the server to boot from USB drive and if available, you should also set the BIOS to treat the USB drive as a fixed hard disk.When you connect to your host for the first time, you should see the USB Storage Controller, the iSCSI Adapter and the below message if you dont have any supported storage in your host.HomeMotherboards and unsupported servers that work with ESX 3.5 and / or 3i InstallableLasted updated - 2008.05.12This table contains a list of systems, motherboards and SATA controllers that have been tested and found to work with ESX 3.5 or ESX 3i Installable. Please check out the source column for a system you are considering using as some systems will include special steps to enable ESX to run on that system. None of these systems are supported by VMWare for running ESX. For a list of those systems please see this PDF.If you have tested a system that is not listed here, please contact me on the VMware Technology Network community: VMTN Profile.ModelSATA / SCSI ControllerESX 3.5 b64607ESX 3i Installable 3.5 b67921Source / NotesServers and PCsDell Dimension C521MCP51 SATA ControllerWorking/message/865116#865116Dell Dimension E521Working/message/833706Dell Inspiron 530Intel ICH9RWorkingTested by CraigH2008Dell Inspiron 531MCP61 SATA ControllerWorking/message/869489#869489Dell PowerEdge R200Working/message/879643Dell PowerEdge SC1430Working/message/838709Dell PowerEdge 1500Working/message/925448#925448Dell Precision 390Intel 82801GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Working/message/865057#865057Dell Precision 490Working/message/880910Dell Precision 670Intel ICH5 Working/message/883044#883044Dell Precision 690LSI Logic SAS1068-IRWorking/message/879530Dell Optiplex 740Working (build 70348)Tested by Rob van der HelmDell SC1430Working/message/917952#917952Dell XPS - M1710Intel 82801/GHM (ICH7-M Family)WorkingTested by Dell 2500Perc3/DCWorking/message/841595HP A6330f MCP 61 SATA ControllerWorking/message/953687#953687HP DL380 G5Working (build 76563)Tested by cmsJustinHP ML110 G4Working/message/877109#877109HP HL 100 G5Intel ICH9Working/message/964902#964902HP ML115MCP55 SATA ControllerWorkingNeed to update sata_nv.xml - /thread/116768HP Compaq d530 - Small form factor (SFF) DG755AIntel 82801EB (ICH5)Working/message/833706HP Compaq Evo D510 CMTNo local SATA supportWorking/message/887552#887552HP D330Intel 82801EB (ICH5 - PCI device id - 24d1)Working/message/850336#850336HP DC 7100 / 7600 / 7700 / 7800WorkingSee SATA problem for DC 7700/message/833710#833710DC 7600 /message/888483HP DC 7800No local SATA supportWorking/message/883734#883734HP xw8200Intel 82801EB (ICH5)Working/message/859559#859559Sun x2200MCP55 SATA ControllerWorkingNeed to update sata_nv.xml - /message/846974#846974/message/833706MotherboardsAsrock 939Dual-SATA2 MCP51 Serial ATA ControllerWorkingTested by DennesASUS A8N-SLI Premium NForce4+MCPSATA NVRAID/Silicon Image SIL3114R RAIDWorking/message/902752#902752Asus DSEB-DGWorking/message/939079#939079ASUS KFN4-D16SASLSI 1068Working/message/816240#816240ASUS NCCH-DLWorking/message/871670#871670ASUS PC-DL FastTrack Promise 378 controllerWorking/message/915901#915901ASUS P3KEIntel ICH9RWorkingRunning with 29320R - tested by stevi.velvetASUS P5BP-E/4LWorking/2008/03/esx-35-on-whitebox.htmlASUS P5BV-E/SASIntel ICH7RWorking/message/862412#862412ASUS P5M-VMAdded Promise SATA 300TX2 PlusWorking/message/931830ASUS P5KIntel ICH9WorkingTested by henkieeASUS P5V-VMIntel ICH9Working/message/884093#884093ASUS P5M2/MICH7RWorkingWorkingTested by fdonaldASUS P5M2/SASLSI Logic LSI1068 / 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family)mily)WorkingTested by .
