and if you have a 11Gen with Intel Westmere also 6.7 can be installed. A lot of people are not aware of that you can create multiple 'partitions' aka VDs on a single Raidgroup, so ESXi will see 2 independent LUNs. If you dont want to buy anything and want the most protection choose method 4.
#CREATE ESXI USB BOOT DISK INSTALL#
If you want to make a bootable USB key from an install CD, click on CD. If you downloaded an ISO image, click on ISO / IMG / ZIP and browse to the location of the image, then select it. In Step 2, choose the image you want to install on the USB drive. only problem is that you cant save any configuration changes. Click on the drop-down menu in Step 1 and select your USB drive. A lot of people are not aware of that you can create multiple "partitions" aka VDs on a single Raidgroup, so ESXi will see 2 independent LUNs. If you lose the boot drive a running ESXi isnt effected. On the Resources->Storage panel right click on a device. How do I copy files from USB to ESXi Datastore In vSphere Client select the Summary Tab for the main server.
Install ESXi to the SD card (or USB stick) Take great care not to overwrite any other disk. only problem is that you cant save any configuration changes. Make sure the boot SD card (or USB stick) is installed and boot on the ESXi install CD. If you lose the boot drive a running ESXi isnt effected. When setting up your RAID10 diskgroup start with a 20GB VD named "ESXBOOT" first and that add another VD for ESXVMFS.single SD and Support for Dual SD Module (runs in a Failsafe configuration) comes later Get a Dell (dual?) SD Module and install ESXi there.Install ESXi on a USB stick(there may be a free slot inside your server).When speaking about ESXi you have to know that ESXi runs in a RAMdisk after starting up so there is no big requirement when speaking about the underlying disk system performance wise.
I then used VMware Workstation to create a VM to boot the iso. Download Clonezilla liveCD I picked up i486 architecture as an ISO file. Most likely all of your existing drives are connected to the backplane and to your PERC. Here are the steps to clone ESXi from one USB stick to another: 1.
