I Am Using A Reference Server to Create a Hardware Profile But it Failed. What Should I
Do?
Check to make sure that minimum recommended versions of iDRAC firmware, Lifecycle Controller firmware, and BIOS
are installed.
To make sure that the data retrieved from the reference server is current, enable Collect System Inventory On Restart
(CSIOR), and restart the reference server prior to extraction of data. See Setting CSIOR on a Reference Server.
I Am Attempting To Deploy ESX/ESXi On A Blade Server And It Failed. What Should I Do?
To resolve this issue, do the following:
1. Make sure the ISO location (NFS path) and staging folder paths are accurate.
2. Make sure the NIC selected during assignment of server identity is on the same network as the virtual appliance.
3. If using static IP address, make sure the network information provided (including subnet mask and default gateway)
is accurate. In addition, , make sure the IPaddress is not already assigned on the network.
4. Make sure at least one Virtual Disk is seen by the system. ESXi also installs to an internal RIPS SD card.

A timeout issue on R210 II systems produces a hypervisor deployments failure error due to the failure of the BIOS to boot
from attached ISO. To resolve this issue, manually install hypervisor on the machine.
Why Do I See Auto-discovered Systems Without Model Information in the Deployment
Wizard
This usually indicates that the firmware version installed on the system does not meet recommended minimum
requirements. In some cases, a firmware update may not have registered on the system. Cold booting the system or
reseating the blade fixes this problem. The newly enabled account on the iDRAC must be disabled and auto-discovery
reinitiated to provide model information and NIC information to the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.
The NFS Share is Set Up With the ESX/ESXI ISO, but Deployment Fails with Errors
Mounting the Share Location.
To find the solution:
1. Make sure the iDRAC is able to ping the appliance.
2. Make sure your network is not running too slow.
