Hi Team, Can you help in this matter.
I am following AutoLAb to create a home lab for Vmware esxi6.7
I when i try to boot the the esxi host at very first time, it goes to network boot and install esxi,. while installing it fails and gives me an error
"There was a problem with the Network Device specified on the command line. Error: No NIC found with MAC address.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
its a laptop on which i am creating a home lab.
Are you installing ESXi directly onto the laptop or into a VM?
If directly on the laptop, have you checked the compatibility list for your NIC type? VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search
Hi there!
It's possible that your current NIC is not compatible with ESXi. Remember that it needs at least a gigabit NIC: ESXi Hardware Requirements
Maybe adding an external NIC will solve your problem. Also, try installing ESXi from VMware Workstation. It virtualizes a NIC that might be compatible.
Please let me know how it goes
