Hello,
When I tried to install esxi4.1 and 5.1 with xcat 2.8.1. I met following
issue.
It can be booted and successfully installed, and reboot, but pxe will
install esxi server again...
lsdef esxihost (which esxihost is my esxi node information):
Object name: esxihost
arch=x86_64
bmc=9.115.235.135
bmcpassword=PASSW0RD
bmcport=1
bmcusername=USERID
cons=ipmi

currstate=install esxi4.1-x86_64-base

ip=192.168.1.4

Any idea to solve that issue? And how to debug if there has such issue,
when I enable SOL, it cannot work for esxi installation, no output to SOL
session.
Another question is, when I used esxi5.1 to install, it still use legacy
CSM PXE, not the UEFI pxe.
Thanks,
yixuan
