昨天在一台DELL台式机上安装esxi4.1失败(DELL 780/ E7500 Processor /4G RAM),错误提示无法找到安装镜像。试过CD和USB安装,统统都失败了,所以估计应该是硬件兼容性的问题。

错误提示:

installation operation failed!
The installation operation has encountered a fatal error:
Unable to find system p_w_picpath to install. This is due to the p_w_picpath not being mounted correctly or the CD-ROM not being supported.

解决办法:

先安装esxi4.0,再通过升级至4.1

1) 通过vSphere Client选择Enter Maintenance Mode

2) 通过vSphere CLI升级,命令为 vihostupdate.pl –server <ip_address> –install –bundle <path_to_update_file>
