i recently inherited a nightmare! Anyone know how to configure an ESX 3.0 host to connect to a NAS device using a crossover cable on an available NIC port? i need a FAST method to move a VM (7) to this NAS but cannot waste hours doing so. copies over this horrible network take forever. cloning does not seem to be an option in 3.0 as it is in later versions. there is no option to export to OVA. what i was able to do so far was mount the NAS as a datastore in ESX, but again the only option i am seeing is to do a straight copy any suggestions??

hey all, with help from Texiwill i was able to determine that i had 1 bad disk in my server. all the info is in the link below. http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=94900&tstart=0 but now i am getting this error and was wondering if anyone has seen a solution for this: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py" line 339, in cb self.instLog.flush () IOError: \[Errno 30] Read-only file system

thanks for the reply. i did as you suggested and the results are below. when i did ctrlaltf3 all i saw was the log of each part of the install, but no indications of errors. it stopped at: moving (1) to step enablefilesystem ....BUT when i did ctrlaltf4 i see multiple lines that read: <4> I/O error: dev 08:02, sector 4194304 in each line the only thing that changes is the sector #'s. now how do i find which disk is causing the problem, if it is indeed the disk that is causing the problem.

All, i currently have a DELL PE2500 server with 3 disks in a RAID5 config. the server has PERC3di, AIC-7899 controller. i update the BIOS so it is now A07. meets the requirements for NIC, Storage, and CPU. for some reason i cannot complete the installation of ESX server 3. i keep getting an error "an error has occurred trying to format sda1. this problem is serious, and the install cannot continue" i have formatted the drives, re-created the RAID5 configuration in a new container. ran a check disk on all 3 disks which came back fine. all i saw in the forums was that someone updated the BIOS and the Controller drivers. i have done this and still get the same error. i don't get it b/c i actually installed ESX3 on an old DELL PE1300 with no problems. there are no HW failures...please help
