30 ESXi Deployment Guide

Booting ESXi

This section describes how to perform the basic setup of your system based on

the following assumptions:

• You have already connected a keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

• You have connected the first onboard NIC to your management network.

• Ensure that the infrastructure between the two systems is working

correctly prior to working with your system and the VMware

management software.

To set up your system:

Turn on your system.

Press <F11> at boot and select the internal storage device as the one-

time boot device located under

Hard Drives

in the menu.

NOTE: If you ordered ESXi as the primary operating system, the boot order of the

system is already set to boot from ESXi.

NOTE: If you ordered ESXi as an included hypervisor, without technical support

service and did not request a hard-disk based operating system, your system

may boot to a

No Operating System Found

message. Set the system boot order

to make the storage device containing ESXi (USB or SD card) as the first boot

device.

In the first phase of booting, the software loads the compressed ESXi modules

into memory and a progress bar is displayed.

In the second phase, the modules are expanded and executed from memory.

As the modules load, the DCUI briefly displays the module names on the

screen.

After all ESXi modules have expanded and executed, the system is ready to

begin servicing workloads as illustrated in Figure 5. If there is a Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) system or DHCP proxy configured on your

network subnet, ESXi displays the address acquired by the DHCP system.

NOTE: When the address is being acquired, 0.0.0.0 is displayed by default.

To install vSphere Client, see "Installing vSphere Client" on page 34.
