I am wonder if anyone has seen this or has successfully deploy ESXi5.5: First I do a copycds of esxi5.5.iso
Then I create a node and pxe fails on the file: /tftpboot/xcat/esxboot-x64.efi, it cant find it. Soooo. I assume that is the efi64 file from the cdrom, so I copy into place: cp /install/esxi5.5/x86_64/efi/boot/bootx64.efi /tftpboo/xcat/esxboot-x64.efi so now it find the file, but just hangs: xCAT Network Boot Agent iPXE 1.0.3-131028 (d603e) -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org Features: HTTP HTTPS iSCSI DNS TFTP EFI net0: e4:1f:13:b5:78:28 using <NULL> on EFI SNP (open) [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0] DHCP (net0 e4:1f:13:b5:78:28)... ok net0: 9.74.203.201/255.255.255.128 gw 9.74.203.129 Next server: 9.74.203.150 Filename: http://9.74.203.150/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/xivsds3.uefi http://9.74.203.150/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/xivsds3.uefi... ok http://9.74.203.150/tftpboot/xcat/esxboot-x64.efi... ok not sure what I am doing wrong, but I can install RHEL6.6 without issues. Has anyone seen this or has ESXi5.5 deploying to baremetal?
