No Install CD found on Proliant ML350 - VmWare ESX4 vSphere
I┬┤m installing the VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle for 3 hosts based on ESX 4 and i┬┤m having problems with the detection of the dvd drive.
When i┬┤m booting on the installation media everything seems to be ok. But on the hardware detection while esx is booting there comes an error: No Install CD found
The Installation Program is loading and you can configure the network settings usw.
But then the settings are done the system wants the install cd which is inserted but the system do not regnognise ist.
Can you help me with this problem.
Best regards,
Ott Andreas

Re: No Install CD found on Proliant ML350 - VmWare ESX4 vSphere
Sorry, but i was a bit to hasty with the success message.
Booting from usb works but while booting there are error messages (wrong parameters in syslinux.cfg) when syslinux is loading the syslinux.cfg file and is ignoring the settings "usb" on the "append" syntax.
The problem is probably because i have an ESX 4 Server and the "how to" docu is written for ESX 3 Server. On the ESX 4 Server are a view files i├В┬┤m missing, por example boot.msg, snake.msg and splash.lss.
Do you know if there is a how to for ESX 4?
Kind regards.
Andreas

Re: No Install CD found on Proliant ML350 - VmWare ESX4 vSphere
Is this a vanilla VMware vSphere ESXi install?
I had problems installing the bundle onto our initial HP Servers that had the USB key. It kept reporting not enough space. We finally moved to SSD's and it's worked fine since then.

Re: No Install CD found on Proliant ML350 - VmWare ESX4 vSphere
I installed an older version of the ESX4i installer and this worked flawlessly. I assume this is an issue with the Vmware driver for these DVD drives (other posts indicate this)
