NOTE ESXi does not support using local, internal SATA drives on the host server to create VMFS datastores

that are shared across multiple ESXi hosts.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives – Supported for installing ESXi 4.0 and for storing virtual machines

on VMFS partitions.

USB devices – Supported for installing ESXi 4.0. For more information, refer KB 1010574 at

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010574.

Install ESXi 4.0

You use the ESXi 4.0 CD to install the ESXi 4.0 software onto a SAS, SATA, or SCSI hard drive.

You cannot install ESXi 4.0 on a SAN.

Prerequisites

Verify that the server hardware clock is set to UTC. This setting is in the system BIOS.

Verify that a keyboard and monitor are attached to the machine on which the ESXi software will be

installed.

Consider disconnecting your network storage. This action decreases the time it takes the installer to search

for available disk drives.

ESXi Embedded must not be on the host. ESXi Installable and ESXi Embedded cannot exist on the same

host.

Procedure

1 Insert the ESXi 4.0 Installable CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2 Set the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM device.

Press the key required to activate your machine’s BIOS setup. This key is often a function key or Delete.

3 On the Welcome screen, press Enter to continue with the installation.

4 Read the VMware end-user license agreement and accept it by pressing F11.

5 In the Select a Disk screen, select the disk drive on which to install ESXi 4.0 and press Enter.

NOTE Do not rely on the disk order in the list to select a disk. The disk order is determined by the BIOS

and might be out of order. This might occur on systems where drives are continuously being added and

removed.

If the disk you selected contains data, the Confirm Disk Selection screen displays.

6 Press F11 to start the installation.

7 When the installation is complete, remove the installation CD.

8 Press Enter to reboot the host.

During the reboot operation, the VFAT scratch partition is created on the disk.

9 Set the first boot device to be the drive on which you installed ESXi (in Step 5).

To set the boot device, press the key required to enter your machine’s BIOS setup. This key is often a

function key or Delete.
