Hi Everyone,
I am having some difficulty installing esxi on an HP server using a scripted install. I am trying to install ESXI to an internal SD card, using an external thumb drive as my install media. So far every install method I've tried has resulted in ESXi being installed onto my external thumb drive, instead of the Internal SD Card.
Installing esxi 5.5 on to HP dl380 gen8.
I am trying to come up with a way to specify the model of my SD card in the kickstart file as the install path. I found a knowledge base article that states you can specify a model with the firstdisk command (see below)
For example, to prefer a disk with the model name ST3120814A and any disk that uses the mptsas driver rather than a normal local disk, the argument is--firstdisk=ST3120814A,mptsas,local.
But everytime I try this I get an error that the disk path doesnt exist.
Does anyone know the specific rules around selecting a first disk by model? Which model name does the installer use?
