ESXi 5 on BL460c Gen8 and Flex 10 - Failed to install
VMware installation question from Tom:
******************
I have an issue with installing VMware ESXi 5 on HP BL460c Gen8 blades.
Using the HP rebuild ISO image VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.0.0.update01-623860.x86_64.iso
When using the ISO image to perform the installation it aborts the installation with the following message:
No Network Adapters
No Network Adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically
connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party
driver may be required.
… (press ENTER to reboot)
I am trying to install the drivers from the VMware portal for the HP Flex-10 10Gb 2-port 530FLB Adapter;
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/dt_esxi50_broadcom_netxtreme_17034v501/dHRAYnRAJXdiZHAlJQ
But it is only possible to update the drivers for an already installed ESXi host!
The configuration only uses the Flex-10 adapter, no other network adapters are in the blade configuration.
Any advice on how to install ESXi 5 on this blade configuration?
*************
Info from Olivier:
