Hey guyes can we install this ESXI in Virutal machine. If yes can you please tell that what the resources which will be used. As in other videos they say that there is specific HCL which this version of Vmware supports. Please reply soon.

Not bad. I must admit I have been playing around with it at work for a few months now. Its growing on me. But I prefer XEN!!! Nothing wrong in knowing both :-)!!!I think its better to set a static IP address initially for the NIC set aside for the ESX, DHCP can take sometime not alk about trying to remember the IP address. Anyway good post.

Yes, I fixed it by turning on "spanningtree portfast" on the switch some time ago. Now that ESX 3i is free I have to run out and buy something to run it on.

definitely turn on port fast, that is the most common cause of this problem. The previous poster "digitalloving" was right on.

I've had problems with software not waiting long enough for dhcp to respond, but it has rarely been an issue with the dhcp server. While a longer timeout would solve the problem, for the most part it has been a switch issue. Where the machine boots and requests dhcp before the switch has fully configured the port. If this happens with a cisco switch you can enable port fast on it. Just thought it might be something to look into.

ESX 3i 3.5.0 does fail to DHCP for me. In this video it also ends up on 169.254.0.1 (see video position 4:00). I read that this could be due to ESX not waiting long enough for the DHCP response. There are examples of how to increase the wait for older ESX versions but they use a console command line which does not function in this version.After ESX boots using "Restart Management Network" causes it to retry DHCP and then it works but needing that every time prevents unattended reboots.

I have used Xen, I have used vmware, I have used RedHat, nothing is close to VMware esx feature set.
