No virtual center is not required in any way for ESX 3i. When you say
you're installing it for a month, do you mean you've downloaded the
ESX3i .iso installer from vmware, burned it to a CD, and am installing
it from the CD? ESX 3i has to be installed manually today, VCL cannot
"deploy" the ESX 3i hypervisor onto bare metal through any
provisioning technique (xcat, esx, etc ...).
xcat isn't well suited to managing ESX resources. This is why the ESX
provisioning module (esx.pm) was written to use the VMware API to
drive VMware resources (ESX and ESX 3i). Are you using the esx.pm
module?

I have been trying to install a VMware ESXi Server to a bare metal

for a month, but things are not going on well.
I am using VCL1.6+xCAT1.3 now. How could i make it in the current
environment ? In addition, i got from the vmware bbs that the
virtual center
is demanded to install the esxi automatically. Should i install the
virtual
center ?
I got some information from the mail some days ago that the function
of
install esxi is not supported by xcat1.3 completely, and there would
be a
version of vcl which could support xcat2.1 recently. Is it right ?
And when
or where could i get it ?
Thank you !
