Download Esxi Iso
ESXi is a great solution for hosting a bunch of servers of a single physical box, especially as there is a free version. However, there is one downside – you need ISO images to install the VMs and these take a real long time to upload to the datastore if you’re connected remotely using the vSphere client over an ADSL connection. For example, the install ISO for CentOS 6.4 is about 750MB – that’s a lot of uploading when your ADSL outgoing speed is only 1MbpsLuckily, there is a way round this – you can enable SSH (a.k.a.
“Technical Support Mode”) and use it to login to the ESXi host and then ‘wget’ ISOs directly to the datastore. Unfortunately, SSH access uses the same IP address as the one used for vSphere and this is often (quite sensibly) firewalled by your hosting company and SSH access is not possible.
So, that’s it then – back to slow uploads using the vSphere datastore browser!But not quite – there is a work-round which can be used:. Create a new network switch (vSwitch) with a VMkernel port and Virtual Machine Port Group;. Give the VMkernel port a private IP (e.g. 192.168.123.1/24);. Configure a VM on the ESXi host with a network interface connected to the Virtual Machine Port Group of the new vSwitch;.
Use vSphere to upload a small LiveCD ;. Boot the new VM using the ISO.When it’s up, you can use the vSphere console of the VM to SSH into the VMkernel port and ‘wget’ the installation ISOs you need.This entry was posted in and tagged,. Bookmark the.
Greetings!Let's say there was a company that deployed 80 HP DL360 gen 9 servers running ESXi 6 on local SSD storage to different parts of the US. At the moment all of these servers are connected to a single vCenter server instance running a few types of security monitoring software(s) over a T1.our software does not require much bandwidth.Times they are a changing and this company needs to deploy 5 different.OVA/OVF/ISO files totaling about 600GB to each site but there are a few catches.1. No Internet (yet)2.
WAN is too slow (currently) to support a full deployment; we estimate it would take multiple days per site.Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do aside from getting faster networking? (This is happening, just not for a few cycles down the road)-Is there a way to mount an external USB drive as a local datastore to then spin up these VM's?-How about transferring files from USB directly to the datastore(s)?

Possible?-Would a laptop onsite on the same LAN direct connecting to the host be our only true option for deployment?The way I see it from whatever angle we approach this it is quite time/labor intensive.Help! Yes, I added a USB HDD as another datastore for a ESXi host.

The host sees it as local storage, the same as direct-attached storage HDDs. It won't be as quick as DAS quick over the USB interface, but your VMs could technically run from the external USB storage.I ran into one issue: USB 2.0 speed. Our hosts only had USB 2.0 ports, so using a newer workstation with USB 3.0 enabled us to transfer files faster using the workstation gigabit NIC. We loaded vSphere on the workstation and copied the files to a datastore more quickly that way, then loaded OVF/ISO from the host's storage.
