#Vmware esxi 6.0 download iso nuc install
To begin it is best to install PowerCLI from the PSGallery repository: PS > Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLIġ2.0.0.
To correct this I found several blogs that referenced building a custom ESXi ISO that contains the proper network adapter (ne1000). Understanding the NUC isn’t officially supported, upon installation using a bootable 32GB USB the install fails with a “No Network Adapters” error message. Recently purchased two Intel NUC Frost Canyons that I wanted to use as part of a homelab running ESXi 6.7.

Leaving all defaults alone, I hit start and continued when prompted that it would erase all data on the drive.Īt completion you can see the “Device” properties has be renamed to that of the Boot selection name that was selected.Įject the USB and pop it into the device you want to install it on. Insert the USB you plan to format and select the ISO (I am using the custom ISO created in the previous post).
The tagline is “Create bootable USB drives the easy way.” This is only an executable that requires no install. This custom ISO should get around an error that prevented the base ESXi image installer to fail out with the message “No Network Adapters.” In that post a custom ESXi ISO image was created using PowerCLI to inject the necessary network driver.
