New BE7K Install, booting into shell

Working on a new UCS C240 that boots into the shell rather than VMware as I expected it to. I have the CiMC setup but was checking on the best path forward.  The boot menu doesn't seem to list any drives or flash to boot from either. In the past I believe we were able to download a Cisco customized image from VMware, but now that Broadcom has pulled the ESXi downloads wondering if anyone has run into this or knows how to proceed?

If you don’t see a HDD option on the omen you need to use the RAID config utility (watch for it during boot) to create a logical volume. Once that exists you can raise it up the boot order in CIMC.
