- Trying out installing VMware ESXi 8.0 on a HPE DL380 Gen9. The Gen 9 server seems to already be running on its last leg! as the E5-2600 v3 is not supported,, but will install.

For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly "What's UP" update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on CZcams.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.
aahhh Morten, you made me chuckle today .. "it takes just long enough to make you think you have done something wrong" ... glad I am not the only one who gets that feeling...
He he,, Thank You,, that was not even a real joke,, as it's just a reflection :-)
Great to see that you still try to install eSXI on a server, I moved to ProxMox and will think twice to use ESXI again.
Mainly because of hardware support, and I do not have the 61B, so I will stay with older server hardware, unless someone will buy a new server for me :)
Great video, nice to see
I have here an HP DL380p Gen8, with two CPU’s, I think version 2. The rest are dell servers
Ha e a great day and thank you for the video
I am also the better part of 61B short :-) I never got over on Proxmox,, but it would also be my choices.
We're using vmware v7 at work (I'm the IT mgr there) and will move over to ProxMox soon as the vmware support subscription expires. I've had bad experience with v7. Biggest thing vmware failed to warn us about using SD cards as boot devices with v7 series. Plus the nasty bugs that were introduced and later fixed. I hope with v8 series they spent more time QC'ing before releasing it.
We was warned about the SD card,, but I really do not understand why, they did not just fix the issue. Booting from a USB or SD card is really cool.
@@MyPlayHouse From what I've read v7 and newer now have more services and logs which puts more wear and tear on the SD cards. It would have been better to make use of RAM disk to store the logs, a period of time write the logs to SD and then save them to disk before rebooting. That's how DietPi is configured for the raspberry Pis to save the SDs from wearing out prematurely.
@@Darkk6969 You can't blame the company for your lack of knowledge. i personnaly installed esxi 6.7 on a usb key (which is inside my server for safety) 6 years ago. on an old ibm x3650 m3. but soon will install esxi8 on my new toy, a DL380 Gen9. can't wait!
Love your videos! Awesome stuff!
Edit: ESXI's UI didn't change much haha.
No,, and not much that you need.
You can upgrade the CPUs from v3 to v4 xeons, which are supported by vmware8. These v4 CPUs are dirt cheap right now. Make sure to update bios and other firmwares first, to be sure you have the cpu microcode for v4 xeons and better support for vmware8 from your other components.
Hi @psycl0ptic
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
i'm planing to do the same , upgrading xeons to v4.
did you try it, and works on dl380 gen 9?
Just picked up 3 dl360 with v4s
Good video ! Been running 8.0 on my Lenovo St550 for a few months now!!
May I ask,, does it have anything you need ? the ESXi 8.0..
@@MyPlayHouse it does everything ! It's snappier then 7.x too
VMware has worked fine since ESXi5.5 and a lot of functions has despaired. They do add virtual hardware for new virtual operating systems.
Thank you for a great video.
Glad you liked it! Thank You!
Some drivers are missing in v8… even in the latest 7.0.3 (Oct/2022 and later builds if not mistaken) HP had already removed them and only kept the ones required for 380 gen10
So if you want the newest software,, you need the newest hardware,,,ripoff !!
Good video man, thank's a lot
Hi Pablo oscar Castellano
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)

Nice video
Hi @user-yj2wd5xu4g
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)

I dont think this would work on my generation 8 servers or?,,,,what do you think Morten?...thanks for a great video
I do not think so,, but You could give it a try,, maybe some one have fund a ninja hack for that model.
Interestingly I attempted to install 8.0 on my own DL380 G9 fine but after installation it gets stuck in a boot loop. Could be my server not agreeing with the install possibly. Glad to see yours worked fine, will have to give it another go.
Are you installing it with the HPE vSphere ISO? If not, I would recommend using the HPE customized ISO.
Best of luck..
I had the same problem. When i set the UEFI to Bios and then installed ESXi and also booted ESXi with te old bios everything worked fine. I was unable to get it working with UEFI
personally tempted to switch over to proxmox or similar; probably going to go through a lazy transition over a few years but I don't buy hardware often enough to stay up to date on esxi
It is hard to switch,,, when you know all about how ESXi works..
Esxi 4.1 was a good hypervisor. Esxi 8 is less cpu "support" whey need v3s now! No m4, but ninja has the solution
I believe I started on ESXi 3.5,, and soon after 4.0
i failed installing pterodactyl on fedora... so irritating mysql not working at ALL
That is irritating :-/
It's interesting 😊 but i have a one query from where you downloaded HPE-Custom-AddOn_800.0.0.11.1.0-17 installer ?
I am unable to get it on internet. I hope you got customize image for HPE DL380 Gen9 HCI.
I have same VSAN having ESXi6.0 and Vcenter 6.0 out of support due to end of life but hardware is still good.
I need to prepare DR on this with upgrading it 6.7 and above. And yes, what about License ? Can we use existing VMware license? Looking for your reply. Thanks You !

wow nice great
Many many thanks
Hello @Morten planning to upgrade vSphere 6.5 > 7 , i just want to ask if DL 380 Gen 9 with iLO Firmware 2.55 Aug 16 2017 is compatible with vSphere 7.0.3?
Maybe google an update for it first :-)
Can't found the button to give you 61B of BTC on your website :'(
I can be really helpful in that regards :-) 1NMaM26CZoVqNamCBrWb8yLVtbyB4Ch6Dc
It is to be found in my FAQ. point 10 :-)
Hi @Morten, do you think will it install the ESXI8.0.U1? Also does this server can upgrade the CPU to E5-2600 v4?
Yes this will do the E5-2600 v4 series, I do not know about the U1 update.
@MyPlayHouse thank you just bought DL360 G9 online, will try that.
Where did you get the rack cover above the monitor from? I am trying to find one
It has it´s own video : czcams.com/video/UB62tG5yXwE/video.html
Is there any real benefit from ESXi 8 compared to the ESXi 7? I like the ESXi web GUI has been getting better, it had quite annoying bugs earlier in some ESXi 6.x version.
To be quite honest,, I think ESXi 5.5 was the best,, not much real benefit since. And they have taken a lot of functions out of it. And put it in pay extra packetes.
@@MyPlayHouse Yes I guess it depends on the user, I can see you use lot more hardware than I do. I use just one server for home use as a standalone without the vCenter, so there is not a big issue of not having some 400 server limit raised ;-) But I guess ESXi 7 will be eventually phased out in few years, just like it happens with the older versions anyway.
I'll put a like on it when you disable ipv4 and just have ipv6 :) Jokes aside, seems that it may be time to be more prepared with ipv6 as internet providers starts using cgnat on even fiber-connections..
It has been under way for a while now :-)
Why the Virtual Flash shows 0B used and 0B capacity? I have the same issue on my Dell r6415 with VMware 8.
I think because I have not made the storage available in VMware yet.
Hello, Thank you very much, Great video, i'm planning to upgrade my VM's too
In the moment i have 2x:
pro liant dl360 gen 9
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz
575,87 GB , QLogic 57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Smart Array P441
Each server with his own 30 TB Storage
First question, is it a good idea to upgrade to version 8? will i still have support in case something isnt working?
The 2 Servers are in production, in the moment i dont have a spare one to try.
is there a way to automaticly update to 8.0 or does it has to be with usb key?
Thank you very much for your feedback!
Have a nice day, regards Hans
You want to make a fresh install,, all your VM's you can just move over.
Hello Sir, i installed esxi today and when the server rebooted, it didn;t show the exsi interface, just the server interface
I do not think you are booting from the drive with the ESXi on... :-/
Is this server storage controller setup as SATA HDD RAID 1 and 4 x SSD's in RAID 5 ? Thanks
That sounds like the normal way I do it!
your bunker needs airflow, maybe duct out the server wild heat ? I've had hi-spec CBRN military cabins go bad bcz airflow stopped and cold surfaces allowed warm moist air descending and condensing on the surfaces, (west wales) not so much of a problem here in Thailand where I have a radio-research bunker, I'll do a vidoe soon, I'm the one who is getting wet with perspiration hahaha
Why are you commenting that, on this video,, does not make much logic ?
@@MyPlayHouse 2AM here 😞 I compose off page and pasted into wrong segment
imagine having a g9 but not v4 cpus, can just scrape the server already
Or replaces the CPU's,, they are not that expensive any more.
smb only wants workstation - they don't need all the other stuff...or just run qemu - it is fast and free which is much different from getting trapped in vendor and sw lock in areas
There is a lot of use of VMware : www.smartprofile.io/analytics-papers/vmware-further-expands-market-share-server-virtualization/
This is from the netherland,, and VMware has a market share of like 77% in these segments.
@@MyPlayHouse i say yeah but so what - this is really just enterprise sw and smb mkt is much bigger - statistics are lies much of the time and what i am saying essentially is to pivot more to the poor unwashed masses of the smb mkt and spurn enterprise gear to some extent - go for the proletariat and not so much for the bourgeoisie - it could pay off to diversify content and get out of the datacenter bubble is all I am saying - produce content that is more approachable and relevant, content that is more in line with maker manifesto and innovative and open rather than in walled gardens with a bomb shelter
Due to price I moved to xcp-ng and will never go back
Well this has also become a religion,, but is is a hassle to move forth and back.
Same message on my G8 was reluctant to do a force install ..so stuck on v7
I think it will work just fine,, there might be something new niche thing, that no one is using yet, that will not work or work slow.
@@MyPlayHouse thank you for your response
Hi cyberjack-CJ
Glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
i have a hp proliant dl380 gen 9 server, how do i insert 4 rams into
see this : support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c05240460
important to know if you have one or two CPU´s
@@MyPlayHouse thank you
Thanks BUT is it OK for Upgrade plan ?
If you have an life critical setup, you may want something that is fully supported 🤔
For home and fun,, totally fine 🤗
Got it working on 360p g8
Hi Besnik Ramadani
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
thank you, what CPU you have ? i'm looking to get one for my home lab too
Thank You, Will DL360 G9 will support?
I do not know id VMware support it,, but I think the DL380 G9 will also run it.
:)

60 days to get addicted on trial software (lol)
Esxi 8.0 is free, get an account and it gives you full access to features.
The ESXi will still work,, just with less features.
There is 60 days of trial,, after that only the free features will remain.
