These servers are all configured to boot from SAN using FCoE LUNs. To get started, the first place I went was to HPs Customize VMware ESXi Images for HP ProLiant Servers site, which directed me to download from VMware. First time booting to this ISO I found that no volumes were available for installation. Esxi Emulex Version Driver Versions InDigging a bit further, I found a link to HPs page: Driver Versions in HP supplied VMware ESXESXi images. Doing a quick comparison between packages included in vSphere 5.0u1 and 5.1 I found that there are actually five bundles that are no longer included. The rest of this blog post demonstrates how to take the HP Customized Installer, combine with the be2net Offline Bundle, and create a bootable ISO. If you just want to use the ISO provided, you can skip to the top or the bottom of this post. I didnt have this installed on my new vCenter 5.1 host, so I grabbed the latest PowerCLI 5.1 installer. After changing the PowerShell Execution Policy, I launched PowerCLI and was off and running. Next, I had to download the ZIP file of the HP Custom Image ( VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-799733-HP-5.30.28.zip ) found here: and the Emulex OneConnect Driver for ESXi 5.1 found here. Alternatively, click here to download the ZIP file for additional customization. Esxi Emulex Version Drivers Were ExcludedIf you work for HP or know someone who can explain why the be2net drivers were excluded from HPs ESXi 5.1 installer, Id love to hear from them Thanks for reading. I believe I have a similar issue with an HP BL490C G7 however, I am using Flex-10 and not FCoE. I initially thought it may have been a firmware driver or BIOS mismatch until finding your post. ![]() I also would have expected to find a lot more posts about issues related to The HP customized image.
