When I boot up ESX I get an error: BANK5: invalid configuration. The problem is that using a USB imaging tool doesn’t seem to work.
Sudo mv /usb/isolinux.cfg /usb/syslinux.cfg I have a couple of ESXi servers at home that I boot from USB keys see the post Running ESXi 5.1 from a USB key. The main requirements and restrictions of this redirection method: Virtual Hardware 7.
ESXI USB BOOT DRIVE INSTALL
Once you get to the part where it asks you to select the drive where you want ESXi installed, select the USB flash drive and the installer will happily install ESXi on it. Mount -o loop /home/user/Downloads/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update03-****.iso /esxi In the native USB Passthrough mode, you can connect a physical USB device from a host to a VMWare virtual machine. Insert a bootable ESXi CD/DVD disc, stick in an empty USB flash drive, power up the server and wait for the ESXi installer to kick in.
ESXI USB BOOT DRIVE WINDOWS 10
There are several ways to create a bootable USB drive depending on the operating system of your choice but to move forward with this task as quickly as possible I will recommend downloading Rufus on a Windows 10 operating system. Sudo umount /dev/sda1 use mkfs.vfat to format the partition sudo /sbin/mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n ESXUSB /dev/sda1 copy syslinux / install syslinux to /dev/sda1 syslinux /dev/sda1 copy mbr.bin to /dev/sda cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin > /dev/sda copy all the esxi content to your usb stick sudo mkdir /usb In the following example, I will be using ESXi 7.0U1c to create the bootable USB flash drive. Unmount partition and device sudo umount /dev/sda Create bootable USB drive for ESXi 7.0 Go to the location where the VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0. file is located. Sudo fdisk -l unmount the usb device sudo umount /dev/sda create partition table using fdisk (be sure to use the correct device!!!) sudo fdisk /dev/sdaĢ - Create new primary partition by pressing and -> Press Enter three timesģ - press and to set the file system to FAT32 Install syslinux sudo apt install syslinux Identify your usb stick using one of the following commands (it should be somethin like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc…) df -h
