ESX 3.5 will not reboot
Asked by jondrejik in VMware
Tags: VMWARE, ESX, 3.5
I entered CERC raid config program during startup and deleted the current raid. I reset the raid back to Raid 5 and initialized the disks. The Adaptec tool shows the raid as successfully rebuilding. I then exit the tool and reboot the server to the ESX install. I follow the GUI based install. It recognizes the CERC HDs as the boot disk and asks to install there. I get a pop-up about having to delete the current volumes and I allow this to happen. The install goes fine and completes. At the end of the install a reboot is required. As soon as the SCSCI text is on the screen the system starts to alert. The boot process stops after the CERC portion with no HD available.
Try 2 - Follow same procedure but this time let the system in the RAID config screen until the RAID 5 is rebuilt and listed as optimal. Complete the ESX install process and reboot. The reboot gets further but starts alerting and stops showing anything on the screen afte showing this errorr.... SCSI disk error: Host 4, Channel 0, ID 0, LUN 0 Return Code = 80000002. This is shown multiple times.
Figure there is something wrong so redo everything and install W2K3 server. No alerts no issues.
I've been working at this for 2 days now and can't get ESX to work on the reboot. If it does come up and I can get to the mgt URL the alert buzzer is on continuously. If I reboot after being able to login to the mgt URL the system stops and can't get to the login screen again.
What am I doing wrong? Is the ESX install somehow erasing the RAID info on the disk?
Attaching a jpg of the ESX screen.
Help with any thoughts on how to get ESX installed is greatly appreciated.Start Free Trial
