My configuration is as follows:
(3) C240s single-wired to a pair of 6120s, all running 2.2(1d). The C240s have an SD card installed, as well as an SSD and 7xSAS drives for VSAN. I have configured my service profiles with a local disk policy of No RAID, and with FlexFlash enabled. I have applied a boot policy of CD/DVD, and SD.
With these settings, the ESXi installer (5.5u1) only sees the internal 2.5" drives and does not see any of the partitions off the SD card. I've tried replacing SD in the boot order with Local Disk, changed Legacy mode to uEFI, and have poked around in the BIOS to see if I could force anything that might reveal the SD card as a bootable media, all to no avail. I set the scrub policy enabled for FlexFlash and re-acked one of my servers. What am I missing?
