Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring ESX Server on Blade Servers

Determining the Floppy Drive on a Blade Server

When an IBM blade powers on, the SCSI drivers load first (if SCSI devices are present),

followed by the USB drivers (if USB devices are present). Then the Fibre Channel device

drivers load, if they are allocated solely to the virtual machines (VMkernel), per our

recommendation.

To determine the location of the floppy drive, you need to count the number of logical

units on SCSI drives, Fibre Channel LUNs, then determine whether or not USB devices

are enabled (the CD select and KVM select buttons are selected) when the blade boots.

For example, when powering on a blade, you have a single logical SCSI drive and two

Fibre Channel LUNs. Therefore, the floppy drive is /dev/sdb. The SCSI driver loads

first (there’s one logical SCSI drive), then the USB drivers load (you’ve selected both the

CD select and KVM select buttons).

Mounting Floppy Drives from the Command Line

1 Determine the /dev/sd<x> name for the floppy disk drive, where x is a letter from

a to z.

2 Type the following:

mkdir –p /mnt/floppy

mount /dev/sd<x> /mnt/floppy

Mounting Floppy Drives from the VMware Remote Console

To mount a physical floppy drive on a blade server from the VMware Remote Console,

you need to know the /dev/sd<x> name for the floppy drive, where x is a letter from a

to z.

1 In the remote console, choose Settings > Configuration Editor.

2 If it is not already selected, click the Hardware tab.

3Click Floppy Drive and select Use floppy image (even though you are actually

using a physical floppy drive).

4 Enter the appropriate /dev/sd<x> device name.
