Not sure which osimage you were using. The one with 'hypervisor' should be
the correct one.

Thanks

Subject:        [xcat-user] Deploying ESX 5.5?



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://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?
