Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring ESX Server on Blade Servers
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.
