ucsc-c220-m3sbe preloaded with ESXi or hardware only?

[Josh Rountree]

Can anyone tell me if ucsc-c220-m3sbe includes ESXi preloaded or if it's hardware only? I'm trying to get ESXi configured so our vendor can start configuring our upgrade, but it keeps saying no boot devices found. It looks like the 4 500GB drives are configured as a RAID 10 with a 1 TB virtual disk, and it's set to boot, but it doesn't.

I opened a case with TAC, but thought I might post on here real quick.

Thanks,

Does ESXi usually come pre-loaded on BE 6000?

Yes, with the 6K and 7K you get ESXi installed, and the OVAs and ISO files on the datastore for the application install.

I have no clue what's up. It won't boot to ESXi, it appears like it's not installed. I have changed the boot order in BIOS too. It's weird though b/c the RAID partitions have been setup correctly.

FlexFlash HV wasn't enabled from the start either.

I've got a case open with TAC, but they're pointing me to installinat customized ESXi image, which I can do, but every single doc I read about BE 6000 assumes that it comes with ESXi preloaded.

Frustrated....
