DL360 g7 problem with VMware ESXi
I am trying to run VMware ESXi on a brand new Proliant. I've made a bootable pendrive with esxi installer. It started booting and I installed the esxi on another flash pendrive (located inside a machine). But after restart new system is not booting. It works fine in normal PCs, but no in the DL360 G7.
Firstly I have tried installing ESXi 5.0 from VMware, after that I used HP version of ESXi 5.1. Both with the same result - system is not booting.
I tried also putting pendrive with ESXi to external USB with the same result. Bios doesn't see boot sector.
What can cause the problem?
I wanted to update firmware, but 'Download' link on the hp support page:
is broken.

Re: DL360 g7 problem with VMware ESXi
I solved the problem, at least partially. According to this article:
http://vmtoday.com/2012/09/esxi-5-wont-boot-from-usb/
my ProLiant dl360 g7 doesn't support booting from GPT partition (used from esxi 5.0). Instead of that I used old MBR partition when installing ESXI.
What is bothering me is the fact that the same ESXI 5.1 wokred perfectly (on default settings) on a regular PC and not on super-hyper ProLiant. Can anyone explain it?
