Datastore not created during install

 

Hello community,

 

 

I am using a kickstart file to provision ESX 3.0.3. The install completes successfully, and there are no error messages as far as I can tell. However, when I log in using the VI client, I find that there are no datastores. Thus I cannot create a VM without first defining a datastore.

 

 

Isn't the installer supposed to create a datastore as part of the install? Note that when I used the same kickstart file on a different box, the datastore was created there during the install. One difference is that the box with no datastore has 2 disks, but the box with the datastore is a 1 disk machine. 

 

 

Here is my kickstart file:
