e Type p to print the partition table.

The result should be similar to the following text:

Disk /dev/sdb: 2004 MB, 2004877312 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sdb1 1 243 1951866 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

f Type w to write the partition table and quit.

3 Format the USB flash drive with the Fat32 file system.

/sbin/mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n USB /dev/sdb1

4 Run the following commands.

/path_to_syslinux-3.86_directory/syslinux-3.86/bin/syslinux /dev/sdb1

cat /path_to_syslinux-3.86_directory/syslinux-3.86/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb

5 Mount the USB flash drive.

mount /dev/sdb1 /usbdisk

6 Mount the ESXi installer ISO image.

mount -o loop VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.x.x-XXXXXX.x86_64.iso /esxi_cdrom

7 Copy the contents of the ISO image to /usbdisk.

cp -r /esxi_cdrom/* /usbdisk

8 Rename the isolinux.cfg file to syslinux.cfg.

mv /usbdisk/isolinux.cfg /usbdisk/syslinux.cfg

9 In the file /usbdisk/syslinux.cfg, change the line APPEND -c boot.cfg to APPEND -c boot.cfg -p 1.

10 Unmount the USB flash drive.

umount /usbdisk

11 Unmount the installer ISO image.

umount /esxi_cdrom

The USB flash drive can now boot the ESXi installer.

Create a USB Flash Drive to Store the ESXi Installation Script or Upgrade Script

You can use a USB flash drive to store the ESXi installation script or upgrade script that is used during

scripted installation or upgrade of ESXi.

When multiple USB flash drives are present on the installation machine, the installation software searches

for the installation or upgrade script on all attached USB flash drives.

The instructions in this procedure assume that the USB flash drive is detected as /dev/sdb.

NOTE The ks file containing the installation or upgrade script cannot be located on the same USB flash drive

that you are using to boot the installation or upgrade.

Prerequisites

Linux machine

ESXi installation or upgrade script, the ks.cfg kickstart file
