When i'm installing ESXi5 on HP BL460c G7, alert a window and displays the following message:
Error (see log for more info):
Error connecting to the network
Did not get an IP Address from DHCP server
At this point, login the interactive view, use command "localcli network ip interface ipv4 set --interface vmk0 --ipv4 *** --netmask *** --type static" to set a staitc ip to the host, and can connect to server now. So the NIC is supported.
The phenomena is the same as http://communities.vmware.com/thread/300818, but the solution that add the vlanid option into the pxe configuration is not effect for me.
Then, i add the IP options follow the ks in pxe configuration, it worked well. The pxe configuration as follow:
default linux
label linux
menu label ESXi-5.0.0-469512-standard ^Installer
kernel esxi5_64/mboot.c32
append -c esxi5_64/boot.cfg pxebooting ks=nfs://192.168.4.11/nfs/zonemgr/my-conf/78e3b5161880-ks.cfg-esxi5_64 ip=192.168.4.111 netmask=255.255.0.0 nameserver=192.168.4.11 ksdevice=78:e3:b5:16:18:80
But in really runtime, i cannot add the IP options, so how can i slove this problem? Thank you.
