36 ESXi Deployment Guide

Remove all the USB-based storage devices on the system except the device

(USB key/SD card) where ESXi is installed.

NOTE: ESXi recovery process fails if more than one USB storage devices are

present in the system.

Turn on the system and press <F11> (one-time boot menu) during

the POST.

The system displays

Entering Boot Menu…

in the upper right corner of

the screen. Continue with the POST process. After the initial boot is

complete, a text menu of all bootable storage devices is displayed.

Select the optical drive where your

recovery media

is located. For internal

optical drives, select the device and press <Enter>.The recovery

environment starts. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the

recovery process.

NOTE: If you see a fatal error, double check that no other USB-based storage

devices are connected to the system.

The system reboots and launches ESXi. If this does not happen, reassign

the order of your boot devices placing the internal storage highest in the

boot order list. For more information, see the manual that shipped with

your system.

Set the correct licensing mode.

After reimaging, reconfigure ESXi and import any VMs you want to run on

this system.

Configuration Backup and Restore Procedures

It is recommended that you back up your ESXi configuration after you

complete the initial setup on a routine schedule that fits your datacenter

environment. Backing up your configuration captures the license code

(host serial number). You need the license code if you use the Recovery media

to restore the ESXi image.

To backup or restore the configuration information, you must use the vSphere

Command Line Interface (vSphere CLI). The vSphere CLI is available as:

1 2 ... 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44
