Dear all,
i tried to install an IBm x345 with 2 Xeon Processors.
But the System told me: you haven´t 64bit hardware.
I use ESXi4.0 build 171294
can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot
Stefan
what CPU do you exactly have? And what's the exact error?
it's not mentioned on the HCL by the way: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/

Hi Duncan,
this is the output of IBM Parts:
2.8GHz/533MHz (512KB) upgrade with Xeon processor | 71P8967 | 59P4845 |
This have i found somewhere in the net:
Produktbeschreibung: | Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz Prozessor |
Produkttyp: | Prozessor-Upgrade |
Prozessortyp: | Intel Xeon |
Prozessoranz.: | 1 |
Taktfrequenz: | 2.8 GHz |
Bus-Geschwindigkeit: | 533 MHz |
Cache-Speicher: | L2 Advanced Transfer Cache - 512 KB |
Funktionen: | Streaming SIMD Extensions 2, Hyper-Threading-Technologie |
The output of [http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/] is nothing if you select XEON
Is this correct?
BTW we have an other IBM Box: x336 also 4GRAM but a 3.06 XEON and it works fine
sorry for the table, i couldn´t delete ist
cheers

Sounds like the Prestiona Xeon, which is 32 bit. You need a 64-bit CPU for ESX 4.0.
I am almost certain that the CPU you have is a 32 bit (only) Pentium 4 "Netburst".
You need a 64 bit CPU for esx 4.0.
Thanks,

Hi,
thanks for your answers. The whole Machine is 64 bit architekture. so i can´t believe the only the processor is 32bit.
i call IBM, looking forward what to do.
Thank you all
cheers

The processors are 32bit with memory extensions. They are able to access a larger memory space but are not 64. The hardware may be 64bit and it may support replacing the current processors with 64bit versions but ???
I am using esxi 3.5 on my x345 with no problems , they are not 64bit cpu so you cant use esxi 4 .
That is correct: 3.5 does not require 64 bit CPUs but esxi4 does. You can find some more details here:
