Hi Everyone,

 

Server = BL460c G1

HBA = QMH2462

Storage = AMS1000

We are redeploying ESXi 4.1 and are attempting to use Altiris. When we try to use the linux pe for pxe boot we get the following errors. The first occurs just after the "Please wait while Altiris Linux x64 (PXE boot) Loads..."

"Find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:10:00.0/host0/rport-0:0-0: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.  Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched."

 

Then after the job continues it shows "no volume groups found".  Rdeploy fails after that with no disk found.  So I am assuming it can not see the SAN boot drive.  However I can install esxi via CD and it can see the disk.  This may be a driver issue but I have the same jobs on another altiris server hitting the same type of blade and works fine.  The only difference between the 2 is the type of storage array. One is an AMS2500 works.. and the other is an AMS1000 which does not work.
