Hello,
I'm trying to install VMware ESXi on my HP DL360 G7 on an ISCSI target provided my Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 R2. I've defined my ISCSI tartget / initiator settings in the bios of the first nic / ISCSI adapter in the server. It connects to the target without any issues, I have not enabled "boot to ISCSI target" since I want to boot from the ESXi CD to perform the installation.
The ESXi installation process begins to load and gets to the point where you'd normally select a hard drive to install it on and fails, claiming that it can't find any storage devices to install to.
The exact same setup has been used to successfully install Windows 7 on the same ISCSI target just to prove it works.
Yesterday I had managed to get the server to connect to an IET ISCSI target and install ESXi but I could not get the server to boot from the target, hence the change to the Microsoft ISCSI Target.
Is this supposed to be possible?
