Using The Embedded Hypervisor; Using The Remote Presence Capability And Blue-Screen Capture - IBM 7380E1U Installation And User Manual

Using the embedded hypervisor

The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor is available on server models that come
with an installed USB embedded hypervisor flash device. The USB flash device
comes installed in the USB connector on the system board. Hypervisor is
virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host
system at the same time. The USB flash device is required to activate the
hypervisor functions.
To start using the embedded hypervisor functions, you must add the USB flash
device to the boot order in the Setup utility.
To add the USB flash device to the boot order, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1.
3. From the Setup utility main menu, select Boot Manager.
4. Select Add Boot Option; then, select Embedded Hypervisor. Press Enter, and
5. Select Change Boot Order and then select Commit Changes; then, press
6. Select Save Settings and then select Exit Setup.
If the embedded hypervisor flash device image becomes corrupt, you can use the
VMware Recovery CD that comes with the system to recover the flash device
image. To recover the flash device image, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. Insert the VMware Recovery CD into the DVD drive.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
