CIMC information after setup done

PCI adapter

And with supposed recognized HD ! setup done will be illustrate after

BUT STILL NO GOOD without going to Setup (bios)

And the solution is : I can see now on 10.2.55.21 the famous Raid adapter but not on his brother 10.2.55.22

Why ?

SO, when I boot up, I can see my Raid1 and his attached disk

So problem solve

What did I do to solve this unhappy UCSC220M3S ? Only under Setup I ask to Load Default Values then Save Change (too bad not to think

about it before!)

After reboot I saw my SAS Controller 2008 and associated disk

So entering Boot Setup F6

Enter Setup to change 1 selection to SAS 2008 PCI and Save Configuration

What have been done before, should have be done also

Configuration RAID (controller mezzanine)

Idem pour le second serveur

Install WMWARE

VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso cette image n’est pas la bonne, this is not the

correct image file for our UCS C220 M3S !!!

? The good one is should be ??? ESXi-5.1.0-799733-

custom-Cisco-2.1.0.3.iso

Yes VMWare see my Disk during installation!

Idem for the other one

Enter pour le reboot
