Chapter 2 Installing and Configuring ESX Server

Installing ESX Server on Storage Area Networks (SANs)

ESX Server supports installing and booting from Storage Area Networks (SANs), using

either the graphical installer or the text-mode installer. For information about

pre-installation and configuration tasks, and known issues with installing and booting

from SANs, see the VMware ESX Server SAN Configuration Guide at

www.vmware.com/support/pubs/.

Before deploying ESX Server on Storage Area Networks (SANs), please check the latest

version of the ESX Server SAN Compatibility Guide from the VMware Web site at

www.vmware.com/support/resources/esx_resources.html.

Performing the Installation Using the Graphical Installer

This section describes how to install the ESX Server software on to your server machine

using the graphical installer. You can execute all actions in the ESX Server graphical

installer interface by pressing the Tab, space bar, directional arrows, or the Enter key.

To install the server

1 Verify the network cable is plugged into the Ethernet adapter that you are using

for the service console.

The ESX Server installer needs this to detect that the machine has a network card.
