HP VMware ESXi 4.0

Getting Started guide

Overview

Thank you for downloading HP VMware ESXi 4.0. HP has seamlessly integrated

VMware ESXi, delivering active HP ProLiant management and consolidated lifecycle

management for a consistent, reliable ProLiant experience.

HP CIM (Common Information Module) providers proactively surface hardware

monitoring data to deliver the most up-to-date server state information possible. HP

CIM providers and VMware ESXi provide active hardware management using HP SIM

(Systems Insight Manager).

You can update VMware ESXi using the standard VMware update tools. The

integrated hypervisor installation is partitioned with redundant images, enabling a

robust upgrade and recovery process.

The HP VMware ESXi 4.0 Getting Started Guide is for ESXi 4.0 Standalone Edition or

as a part of a HP VMware vSphere full licensed product.

The ESXi Stand-Alone Edition is well suited for single server virtualization installations

and is managed using the free VMware vSphere Client management console. HP

Technical Software Support and Update Service is optional and can be purchased as

a support pack.

If downloaded from HP, the installation ISO includes a trial license for standalone

edition. To obtain a permanent license for standalone edition, go to the VMware

website (https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=esxi) and register to obtain the

serial number license.

You can also upgrade HP VMware ESXi Stand-Alone Edition to any of the fully

licensed products for VMware vSphere including Essentials, Essentials Plus, Standard,

Advanced, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions. HP VMware vSphere products

includes one-year, 9x5 unlimited HP Technical Software Support and Update Service

and are upgradeable to a 3, 4, or 5 year Technical Software Support and Update

Service.

To learn more about license delivery and enabling enterprise entitlement, see

Activating standalone license ("Activating stand-alone license" on page 7) or

Upgrading to a full license (on page 7).

Understanding VMware infrastructure

VMware vSphere includes the following components:

Virtual machine—A virtual machine is a software-based computer capable of running

an operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® or GNU/Linux just as if the

operating system is installed on a physical machine.

Host—A host is a physical machine running platform virtualization software such as

ESXi. Hosts provide processor, memory, storage, and network resources for one or

more virtual machines.

vCenter Server—vCenter Server continuously monitors your virtual infrastructure,

automates system administration tasks, and centralizes remote management sessions. It

coordinates the resources and activities of individual hosts to efficiently distribute

virtual machines and tolerate hardware downtime across a data center.

vSphere Client—vSphere Client is the primary interface for interacting with hosts and

virtual machines. vSphere Client can manage a standalone host by connecting directly

to the host, or manage multiple hosts by connecting to a vCenter Server machine.

Additional HP components that complete your

virtualization infrastructure

Management network—A management network enables the server administrator to

manage discrete, physical servers without relying on a general purpose

communications network. This dedicated network enables a reliable connection to the

hardware in the event of a network failure.

Virtual machine communication network—A virtual machine communication network is

built on the traditional, general-purpose communication network. As with physical

servers, virtual machine traffic is brokered through a general-purpose network if the

virtual machines are on different, discrete servers. Virtual machine communication on

the same physical server is handled by a virtual switch within the server.

HP storage network—A storage network enables virtual machines to access Storage

Area Network (SAN) devices similarly to physical servers. The medium for a storage

network can be Fibre Channel or Ethernet. HP recommends HP StorageWorks SAN

solutions.

Configuring your HP ProLiant server to use

VMware ESXi

HP recommends upgrading to the latest ProLiant firmware revisions. For more

information, see your server documentation.

VMware ESXi 4.0 only supports the following installation destinations:

•Any HP supported hard drive

•Secure Digital (SD) memory card

oHP 4GB SD flash media

oHP part number 580387-B21

oHP spare kit part number 583306-001

•Flash media (USB flash drive)

oHP 4GB USB flash media drive key

oHP part number 580385-B21

oHP spare kit part number 583307-001

To configure your ProLiant server using VMware ESXi:

1. Download the installation ISO from the HP website

(http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/index.do) or VMware's website

(https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=esxi).

2. Burn the installation ISO to a CD, or move the ISO image to a location

accessible using the virtual media capabilities of HP iLO 2.

NOTE: The CD-is bootable. Boot the server and choose to install

the HP VMware ESXi product either to the hard drive or to flash

media (USB key or SD card). You must install the flash media into

the internal port on your ProLiant server.

3. Set up the server hardware, and if desired, connect the server to your network.

4. If you install to flash media (USB or SD card), you must install the flash media

into the internal port on your ProLiant server.

For instructions on how to access the internal flash media (USB or SD card) port,

see the server documentation included with your server.

For hardware requirements, see the server documentation included with your

server.

5. Access the server console in one of the following ways:

oLocally—Use your local keyboard and monitor.

oRemotely—Use iLO Integrated Remote Console remotely from a network

client using a web browser.

Remote setup requires HP iLO2 Advanced Pack, which is sold separately for

HP ProLiant ML and DL servers. The remote graphics capability is included

with BL servers.

IMPORTANT: After you boot up the server, you must press the

correct function key when prompted to enter setup mode to

configure boot order, configure hardware virtualization, and

configure iLO and the Smart Array controller. Familiarize yourself

with the following steps and prompts; each prompt is available

for only a few seconds during the boot process.

If you are installing to the hard drive, proceed to step 8.

6. To enable flash media (USB flash drive or SD card):

a. Configure your flash device to boot before the hard drive. By default, flash

media is configured to boot before the hard drive.

b. Boot the server, and then press F9 to enter ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

c. Scroll down to Standard Boot Order (IPL), and press Enter.

d. To modify the boot order, select the device you want to move, and press

Enter. A menu appears to change the device boot order.

e. Ensure the flash media is set to boot before the hard drive.

7. Enable CPU virtualization.

For CPU-specific virtualization capabilities, you can select Intel® Virtualization

Technology or AMD® Virtualization. You must perform this step for supporting

Windows® 64 bit operating systems and all guest 64 bit operating systems such

as Linux.

a. If you are not in RBSU, boot the server, and then press F9 to enter ROM

Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

b. Scroll down to Advanced Options, and press Enter.

c. Scroll down to Processor Options, and press Enter.

d. Scroll down to the servers supported processor (either Intel® Virtualization

Technology or AMD® Virtualization), and press Enter.

e. At the next screen select Enable, and press Enter.

f. Save configuration changes, and then exit. The server reboots.

8. To configure iLO network parameters, directory settings, global settings, and user

accounts, when prompted at POST, press F8.

For more information, see the HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide.

9. To create, view, or delete a logical drive for the Smart Array Controller using

local storage, press F8 when prompted.

For more information, see Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers

Reference Guide.

oLocal Image File

i. Under the Virtual CD/DVD-ROM section, select Local Image File.

ii. Enter the path or file name of the image (ISO file) in the text box or click

Browse to locate the image file.

iii. Click Connect. The connected drive icon turns green.

4. Follow the prompts generated by the installation CD to complete the installation.

If performing restoration or recovery, when installation is complete, restore from

backup files.

5. (Optional) To discover and manage this server, configure HP SIM.
