Boot ESXi installer and install to iSCSI
Pulling my hair out with this one a little. As previously I got this up and running in under an hour with little to no hassle.
Setup PXE on pfSense to chainload iPXE with the following command on a script on a webserver... sanhook --drive 0x91 iscsi:10.0.0.30:::5:iqn.2013-04.home.nas:esxi4 sanboot --no-describe iscsi:10.0.0.30:::1:iqn.2013-04.home.nas:installer Worked perfectly! Skip forward a month I'm starting from fresh, slightly different this time though as I am now using VLANs and the network port to the host is a trunk port so ESXi has access to multiple VLANs (Tried to PXE chain load using native VLAN but just couldn't get DHCP to find an IP so gave up). Built a bootable USB image with VLAN support enabled using the below script and seems to start the VLAN fine, accesses the web scripts no problem but I am having an issue with the booting of the ESXi 5.1 U1 image as shown in the image below. What am I doing wrong? Must have missed something somewhere Compiled script on the USB key taken from https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/2234639 and slightly modified Code: #!ipxe Code inside pxe/bootstrap/mac/00-24-21-1d-35-e8 Code: #!ipxe I have also tried Code: #!ipxe Both which result in the below I have also tried using memdisk using Code: #!ipxe But this just resulted with it loading and placing many ... on the screen, gave up after leaving it for 10 minutes. Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. |
