Hey Leo,
I'm installing VMware_ESXi_6.7.0_13006603_Custom_Cisco_6.7.2.1 on a UCS-E160S-M3/K9 in an ISR4331.
The ISR is running 16.8.1 (it will be upgraded to 16.9.4 shortly)
The UCE is running 3.2.6
I've configured the boot order to leave out PXE boot, and in other attempts, I've left out the Floppy Disk Drive from the boot order. Even with these configuration options removed from the actual boot order, the UCSE still seems to go through each boot option.
For example, the UCS will attempt all four PXE boot options.
I would like to leave out all the extra boot options to speed up boot time.
