Hey i just a vm server that will be going to a sub company we are starting. I tried the current Esxi 5 and it said it coudn't find the network adapters, so i downloaded the dell esxi disk which fixed the problem (however it's telling me a i have 60 days evaluation, and i need to get a key after it's done.) The dell disk got me up and running and i used vpshere to connect to it (dhcp assigned ip / also tried static). After i connect, i have to install a datastore, cause there isn't one (esxi is installed to a internal sd drive). That's where i run into problems, the connection drops. To verify that it isn't an network issues i used vsphere to connect to an existing host and left it to see if it would drop, and it doesn't.
So i have 2 question. Anyone know how to fix the dropping problem? and how do i install the free esxi hypervisor with no evaulation. These are the sequences i get:
1). I choose to create datastore
2). Choose Disk
3). Choose raid array
4). Choose filesystem.
5). It does this for about 4 minutes.
6). Then i start getting this.....
7). Then...
8). Then...
P.s: i've now tried to connecting to the new host and no doing anything to see if it drops me, and i've been connected for about an hour+.
