I'm a network engineer and I have an experimental project where I wanted to learn to handle Esxi before I buy a server.
So I installed Esxi on my home computer, based on Workstation Pro.
Esxi was successfully setuped and works now.
I want to add EVE-ng as a VM. Setuped everything and when it starts, never reaches the attached installation DVD.
I tried to everything, but it stucks.
I'm newby in virtualization, so any help would be appraciated.
As workaround, you can try to download OVA file of EVE-NG and deploy it instead of manually install it.
When you attach ISO, make sure you select "Connected" option next to datastore ISO file.
Hi,
It is, that's why I don't understand.
There are 2 ways , copy ISO on data store or use as client device
if you look below option there is CD/DVD media from there you can browse the media
here is good blog go with it

Hi,
sometimes is needed to set the DVD ISO in settings as CDROM and mark Connect at start and then after start to do it again in menu, while it will not start it correctly. I need to do it many times also in ESXi when I will start from CDROM.
Thanks, it worked.
Now I luckily installed it, although qemu2 images are bloody slow inside Eve-NG.
I suppose this multi-virtualized systems need more resourced than I have now.
I will try other suggestions later too.
