      I'm still working on this.
      I've confirmed that my processors support SLAT (Intel EPT) E5645.

      I also confirmed that virtualization was/is enabled.

      I did find this though, SR-IOV was disabled. So I've enabled it.

      I haven't tried making a VM yet because I'm trying to update all the other firmware first and between the rest of my normal duties and trying to find something that would boot correct and update the hardware, I haven't been able update it yet.

        Dell makes a bootable update tool.

          Yeah I made two USB sticks and a DVD with the ISO, and the system wouldn't boot from them. I finally get the update to run when mounted as a Virtual DVD via iDRAC.

            If you don't mind downloading a large ISO, the Dell Server Update Utility is really great.

              yeah I downloaded the 10 GB ISO, but it didn't appear to be bootable, and when I mounted it virtually to the server, it would not boot via iDRAC.

              I have managed to get some of the onboard devices to update via the bootable ISO via iDRAC. I'm now back inside USC and it's downloading and updating the DUP and the iDRAC, everything else was already up to date via the ISO. So I have progress. In fact it just rebooted from installing iDRAC6 update to 2.90.

                And you couldn't use the Lifecycle controller to update the System?

                  Do it in the OS. It works for Linux and Windows... no GUI needed.

                    Not originally, it was complaining about something. I read online that it had to be a certain version before it would work again, so updating via the ISO got me that far, then I used Lifecycle to get the rest of the way there.

                      I only had Hyper-V installed on it. I'm good to go now though.

                        All updated and started over
                        Rebuilt the RAID array for S&Gs - the firmware update actually took the SMART erroring drive out of error state, so I'm at 6 drives in RAID 10 now.
                        Used iDRAC to mount Hyper-V 2016 ISO, set system to UEFI Boot mode and installed Hyper-V.

                        During the install I gave 80 GB to Hyper-V (which for those that follow UEFI setups know this was cut into 4 partitions - 79.5 GB left for the 😄 drive) and formatted the rest for a 😧 drive.

                        First boot of Hyper-V 2016 requires changing the password then this.
                        https://i.imgur.com/nPouSeC.png

                        Some things of note - #4 already shows that Remote Management is enabled - huh.

                        Now JB says that 2016 will ask to change the computer name while joining a domain, so I'll give that a try.

                        1. Domain/Workgroup:
                          https://i.imgur.com/viZ1vW3.png

                        https://i.imgur.com/XZaQoLs.png

                        Prompted for the password of the provided account to join the domain.
                        https://i.imgur.com/oD8KRm5.png

                        Now prompted that a reboot will be required. (no image)

                        You are asked if you want to change the computer name before restarting?
                        https://i.imgur.com/CxZftxD.png

                        Click yes and enter the new computer name.
                        https://i.imgur.com/MKCJwa6.png

                        You're prompted for the domain credentials again to allow the name change - this just seems stupid - why not ask about changing the name first?
                        Like above, you get a black window to enter your password into, followed by a notice that you need to reboot to apply the change.

                        Now we see the normal reboot prompt.
                        https://i.imgur.com/ff2C0Tr.png

                        Yes and we're rebooting.

                          Upon rebooting, you have to press ESC several times to get to a point where you can put in a domain user instead of the local Admin account.

                          Once logged in I still noticed

                          So I launched Hyper-V Manager from my Windows 10 domain joined PC, tried to add my new host to it - and it worked like a champ.
                          https://i.imgur.com/LdASK3x.png

                          Now I can configure the desired Hyper-V settings.

                          I tried connecting from Computer Manager (launched using Run As domain admin) and got this
                          https://i.imgur.com/Jnt1iUU.png

                          So it appears that you still need to open some firewall rules to allow other remote access.

                                OK Still working on this.

                                Got OMSA install via JB's instructions over here.

                                https://mangolassi.it/topic/8350/install-dell-openmanage-server-administrator-on-hyper-v-server-2012-r2/2

                                Followed the first post (other than I downloaded the latest version) and it worked without a hitch.
                                note - my install seemed to be stalling when using iDRAC to remote console in. As long as the console was the focused window on my desktop, it seemed to flow normal, but if I worked on something else, it seemed to stall - might not be a real issue though

                                  Also, just joining to a domain and attempting to manage will not work. You still need to enable a few things int he host system firewall.

                                  Also, you need to setup your network team and such all before you go playing with Hyper-V Manager.

                                  Then you open Hyper-V manager and setup your vSwitch and your default locations and such.

                                  So many steps to go through to get Hyper-V setup. My god.

                                  Thyen you can finally worry about creating a VM.

                                  Not much different than KVM.

                                  I know, it's just a quip.

                                  Hypervisor devs need to streamline the process a bit.

                                  😛

                                  ESXi largely consists of mashing enter if it's an embedded install. (I think there's a F11 in there somewhere). The VCSA wizard that auto builds out vSAN is pretty nice too.

                                    @dashrender Does your host support HTML5 iDRAC? I'm a big fan of it over the old java stuff.

                                      Omg I hate that java stuff too!

                                      I think any Dell server that supports idrac 7 can at least firmware update to the html5 ability. Idrac 8 includes it.

                                        R710 does not support HTML5 iDRAC since it is DRAC 6...

                                        DRAC 7 and 8 though support it 🙂

                                          @dashrender Does your host support HTML5 iDRAC? I'm a big fan of it over the old java stuff.

                                          Sadly no. I think that became available to iDRAC7 (I saw a mention of an update for iDRAC 7 that made it like iDRAC9, which I only assume means it's HTML5).

                                          • I didn't read the other replies before making mine - but we all had the same info.
