how to load ESX-i on UCS c260

[miket]

I have a very stupid question, how do you load ESX-i on a UCS c260. I have two controllers and 16 1tb drives.

I tried to put a USB Blue ray drive but no luck.

I couldn't get the virtual to work.

My 210's have DVD's  I am missing something

Hello,

Are you able to access the server via CIMC and luanch KVM console ?

Are you planning to install ESXi on the internal Flexflash drive or hard disks ?

Couple of documents that will serve as reference.
