We recently purchased an x4600, and I have been trying to install ESX 3.5 over ILOM and cd-rom redirect. It starts out ok, but pretty quickly I get the error:
"The VMware ESX Server 3 CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the VMware ESX Server 3 CD and press OK to retry."
I have not tried to contact Sun yet on this issue, but figured I run it by here, first. I've tried connecting to the ILOM from two different computers, used two separately downloaded .ISO images; i've tried burning them to CDs and mounting the physical drives; I've also used the exact same image files to install on HPs before over HP's ILO without issue.
I'm just a bit stumped. This is my first experience with Sun servers, and it's been a bumpy road. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! --Bill
