VMware ESXi 5.1 U盘安装，驱动安装
一，U盘安装ESXi 5.11 准备工作
linux 系统 ; //如feora , 需安装 syslinux包 : yum install syslinux
U盘一个
ESXi ISO文件//下载 VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso， XXXXXX为内部版本号
下载地址： http://download.faq-book.com/category/vmware/
2. 为U盘创建分区表
[*]fdisk /dev/sdb
分区结果应如下表：
Disk /dev/sdb: 8076 MB, 80761322352 bytes
186 heads, 28 sectors/track, 3028 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 5208 * 512 = 2666496 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 3029 7885824 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
"w" 写入分区表并退出
注意:如有疑问可以参考最后的 fdisk 详细过程。
3. 使用FAT32文件系统格式化U盘
[*]mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n ESXi /dev/sdb1
4. 安装syslinux并写入MBR
[*]syslinux /dev/sdb1
[*]cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb
5. 挂载U盘
[*]mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
6. 挂载ESXi安装程序ISO镜像
[*]mount -o loop VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso /mnt/iso
7. 将ISO镜像的内容复制到U盘
[*]cp -r /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb/
8. 将isolinux.cfg文件重命名为syslinux.cfg
[*]mv /mnt/usb/isolinux.cfg /mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg
9. 编辑syslinux.cfg 文件
[*]vim /mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg
在/mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg 文件中，将APPEND -c boot.cfg 一行更改为 APPEND -c boot.cfg -p 1。
10. 拷贝一个新的menu.c32文件到U盘，覆盖原来的文件
[*]cp /usr/lib/syslinux/menu.c32 /mnt/usb/
注意:这步并不在VMware vSphere官方手册 中，如没有此步骤，引导时会出现“menu.c32:
not a COM32R image”这样的错误。
11,umount
完工:现在U盘可以引导安装ESXi 5.1 了
fdisk 详细过程，注意红色字

二，驱动安装
1，VMware驱动查找：
1，打开http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=io
2，选择产品版本(Product Release Version): 如 ESXi5.1
3，选择商标(Brand Name): 如 Intel
4，选择设备类型(I/O Device Type): 如 Network
5，输入关建字(Keyword): 如 I210
回车，确定搜索，下面会列出可选的产口驱动。如：igb-4.0.17-890403.zip
通过ssh上传驱动到VMware ESXi服务器的/vmfs/volumes一个目录下
使用ssh登陆到VMware ESXi服务器后,用unzip命令解压驱动包，解压后会得到一个后缀为.vib 的驱动文件：
2，解压：
cd /vmfs/volumes/52b1862a-d0d77f1a-f455-0086000a044e/
#unzip igb-4.0.17-890403.zip
Archive:igb-4.0.17-890403.zip
inflating: igb-4.0.17-offline_bundle-890403.zip
inflating: Intel_bootbank_net-igb_4.0.17-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.vib

inflating: doc/release_note_net-igb_4.0.17-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.txt
3，安装：
#esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/52b1862a-d0d77f1a-f455-0086000a044e/Intel_bootbank_net-igb_4.0.17-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.vib
Installation Result
