Unable to get the ESXi login prompt through SoL intersight hyperflex

[varuon]

I have been trying to deploy hyperflex from intersight and it's stuck at Unable to get the ESXi login prompt through SoL.

I did not try from installer VM on-prem but wondering if anyone ran into an issue and was able to resolve it.

CIMC IP is pooled and pingable. 

wondering at this point just abort and try with on-prem installer Vm but it will be time consuming with lots of cleanup.

The server(s) should be booted to ESXi, but looks like the UCSM KVM is showing the server booted to the BIOS setup instead.

Once ESXi is booted you should be able to SSH to the CIMC IP. Login first with UCSM admin credentials. After logging in with UCSM credentials you should get an ESXi login prompt.

If this is a new installation, then the M.2 drive which ESXi boots may be unseated/mis-seated. Open the top and firmly push the M.2 riser/controller onto the motherboard.

Thank you. I figured as much but this whole process of deployment of hyperflex is more buggy than it should be.

I ended up manually installing ESXi via KVM and then once all nodes were done with ESXi I resumed the installer process and I was able to stand cluster up.
