NOT_IMPLEMENTED Errors in Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 Virtual Machines on ESX Server 2.0 and 2.1

Details

I encountered a NOT_IMPLEMENTED error when I performed one of the following on ESX Server 2.0 or 2.1:

Reconfigured a Windows Server 2003, XP, 2000, or NT virtual machine from the vmxbuslogic to the vmxlsilogic SCSI controller.
Installed Windows Server 2003 SP1 in a virtual machine configured to use the vmxlsilogic SCSI controller.

What's wrong?

Solution

This problem occurs if you use a newer LSI Logic driver (version 1.10 or higher) with the following operating systems in an ESX Server 2.0.x or 2.1.x virtual machine:

Windows Server 2003 (SP1 includes version 1.10)
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows NT

The guest operating system cannot boot, and the virtual machine displays an error message that includes the following text: NOT_IMPLEMENTED To avoid this problem, use LSI Logic driver version 1.09 (listed below) or upgrade to ESX Server 2.5. When you are following the steps of the section www.vmware.com/support/esx21/doc/esx21admin_lsilogic_vms.html in the VMware ESX Server 2.1 Administration Guide, you are asked to to visit the LSI Logic Web site to download the driver. Here are the locations on LSI Logic's Web site for the drivers supported by ESX Server 2.0 and 2.1:

Windows Server 2003:
www.lsilogic.com/files/support/ssp/fusionmpt/Win2003/symmpi_srv2003-1.09.06.zip.
Windows XP:
www.lsilogic.com/files/support/ssp/whql%20drivers/20320-r/LSI20320-R_IME51002_01033500IM_XP_1091100_850725.zip.
Windows 2000:
www.lsilogic.com/files/support/ssp/whql%20drivers/20320-r/win2000/LSI20320_50604_01033500IT_2000_1091100_802795.zip.
Windows NT:
www.lsilogic.com/files/support/ssp/fusionmpt/WinNT/symmpi_nt-1.09.02.zip.

Extract the .zip file selected above. Inside this archive is lsipseud.inf, which Windows uses to install the driver.
To finish switching to the LSI Logic controller, continue with the steps in the ESX Server 2.1 Administration Guide. Refer to:
www.vmware.com/support/esx21/doc/esx21admin_lsilogic_vms.html.
