HP synergy boot from microSD

HI

 

I have synergy 1200 frame and when i boot it from hard drives it works a charm i am using it for esxi7. However when i try to boot from microSD then it just asks me to install although ESXi 7 is installed on microSD card. What is the trick to boot Synergy Gen10 server from ESXi 7 as this is not described in documents and maybe i dont know where to find these documents as they may be hidden

Does it need special microSD. It just runs installer and then offers 2 disks and GenericUSB3.0 but it wont boot from it. Card is sitting properly because it runs installer but it wont boot from it

Are you sure you want to persue something that VMware no longer wants customers to use?  While technically is still supported, there are many drawbacks to using MicroSD or USB flash device for boot.  (See SD card/USB boot device revised guidance (85685) (vmware.com) for more information from VMware if you haven't already).
