[cisco-voip] BE6K C220 servers

[Mike]

It seems to be Esxi 5 not having the correct LSI Megaraid 9266 -8i drivers. 

 

Cisco supports esxi 5.1 correct?

Yes, if you don’t upgrade all componets you may brick the box.

 

I did this once and had to do a factory reset.

I actually first downloaded the host upgrade utility ISO to upgrade all the firmware and drivers.  I was told that you should upgrade all components.

Try using the VMWare Cisco Custom ESXi ISO.  I had the same issue.

I used CIMC , but couldn’t see the RAID set. I found an article that says you can install esxi 5 on the flash drive on the server itself which I did. 

 

I opened a case with TAC to find out the LSI Megaraid firmware is not supported on vmware 5. TAC says “down load the driver and call me back”

 

Anyone ever upgraded the Megaraid firmware over CIMC?

Flash drive or use the CIMC and boot from ISO that way

I feel stupid asking this, but with the new be6k C220's not having a DVD drive how do we get esxi on it? I used a USB DVD but it only sees the little 3gig and 6 gig utility partitions 

Any ideas?
