I am trying to install ESXI on UCSX server profile but I keep seeing the SCU link which is an http server? I dont have an http server. and the iso is on my laptop. any idea how to mount the iso to the server profile? This is very different from UCSM. Also I have my custom iso with kickstart boot options can i bypass all the customization and use my kickstart iso instead?

Hello, You can do OS installation in two ways with Intersight:
1. Launch Server KVM, Mount the ISO and Install OS.
2. OS installation workflow available in Intersight. To use this, we would need the OS ISO and SCU(Server Configuration Utility) ISO hosted somewhere locally on a HTTPS/NFS/SMB server. You can find all the details here: https://intersight.com/help/saas/resources/installing_an_operating_system#performing_os_installation_in_cisco_mode
You can find the SCU ISO under https://software.cisco.com/download/home/282558030
