Request for HP's ESXi 4 build 164009 that was initially available from HP only

[cookieme]

Back in July when I started with ESXi, HP's release of ESXi 4 was ONLY available through their website (https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06). Unfortunately, HP's first release of ESXi 4 is no longer available (only ESXi 4 U1 now) and I don't have the copy I downloaded.

Does anyone still have this release (if you do you got it from HP's site around July) and willing to share?

Thanks

P.S. The version available on VMware's download site is not the first release HP posted on their website.

What you don't like in latest 4.0u1 build?

Haha! It is not that I don't like 4.0u1! I just need the first iso of ESXi 4 that HP released through their website for testing purposes. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to download earlier versions through HP's site, so I'm hoping that someone here has kept their copy.

I have HP servers, but don't see any need to download custom HP image. I use default VMware image + Veeam Monitor for monitoring. Actually the only difference is pre-installed monitoring agents.

Fair enough. I guess it depends whether you want some of the things it offers or not.

Anyway if anyone has the HP ESXi 4 iso prior to this ESXi_HD_USB_SD_Image_Installer_CD_583772_001.iso then I am interested!

Thanks again.

It looks like I do have one. I also use older disks for testing.
