Good day,
I am a beginner in virtualization technology.
The first server I wanted to setup is a normal PC (CPU Core2Duo, VIA motherboard, integrated network adapter).
I downloaded iso image (from VMware web ), burned to a CD and booted from it. After loading some loadings the error appeared:
No Network Adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required.
It is logical to me, since the installer does not have any driver of the network adapter.
How can I solve that problem? How can I add the driver and where can I get it?
I have a separate CD with all drivers of this PC however they are for Windows OS.
I will be grateful for your help.
Best Regards
Marcin Nowicki
Welcome to the Community - Not all hardware is supproted by ESXi - check here to see if your network card is supported http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php for potential drivers you will have to check with the manufactirer
Welcome to the Community,
assuming this is a test/lab system. the easiest way to workaround this issue is to get a network adapter which is either officially supported or at least known as working (e.g. an Intel PRO/1000 GT)
Btw. with the Core2Duo processor you might be limited anyway.
