![]() ![]() It should be bootable on both sides: BIOS and EFI. Now you need to modify ISOLINUX.CFG to point the boot to the right partition: fmbp16:~ root# cd /Volumes/ESXI-7/įmbp16:ESXi root# cat ISOLINUX.CFG | grep APPENDįmbp16:ESXi root# sed -i "" 's/APPEND -c boot.cfg/APPEND -c boot.cfg -p 1/g' ISOLINUX.CFGĪPPEND -c boot.cfg -p 1 And that is pretty much it. Mount the ISO installer from vmware website and copy the content to USB partition: fmbp16:~ root# cp -R /Volumes/ESXI-7.0B-16324942-STANDARD/* /Volumes/ESXI-7/ 5.

If what you want to do is flash an image onto one or two cards, balenaEtcher is the right tool for the job. Started erase on disk2 (ESXI-7.0U3L-21424296-STANDARD)įormatting disk2s1 as MS-DOS (FAT) with name ESXI-7 fmbp16:~ root# diskutil eraseDisk MS-DOS "ESXI" MBR disk2 Under linux is not that different: you need to use fdisk -l instead of diskutil list. What's left is a manual approach, via terminal, that should work under macOS or Linux.īelow is a way to do this under macOS. Under macOS there is balenaEtcher but for unknown reasons it doesn't detect the ESXi image as bootable and the result is not bootable either. Your device type will be preselected here since you already chose it when creating the fleet. Start by clicking Add device on the fleet summary. Of course, the easiest way would be to use rufus via windows but if you do not have a windows around, you need a different approach. balenaCloud builds a custom balenaOS image configured for Raspberry Pi 4 (using 64bit OS) which allows the device to provision and join the new fleet you created automatically. ![]()
