Vmware Vsphere - PXE installtion

Hi,

I have a blade BX600S2 without a dvd/cdrom, Only a way to install vmware vsphere is a booting from pxe , but I used all the possibilities settings pxelinux.0 and vmware boot but it's starts as if it was already installed

Someone was installed vmware vsphere in such a way and it's works?

Regards,

You could also try:

EDA: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/89313

or UDA: http://www.rtfm-ed.co.uk/?page_id=366

Both have PXE boot options and very simple to use.
