When you put the ESXi media in the drive and boot, hit F11 for the boot menu. Is the optical drive listed, If so then select that.? You may need to hit any key to boot to CD after selecting. Also...

Yes, it seems to be a problem with the ESX5i install media. WhenI boot off a esx4i cd, it boots, but hangs on the dell module – I suspect itdoes not recognize the PERC S110 controller

VMWare doesn't support using software based raid. You will need to add a hardware raid controller to the server in order to use ESXi.

Bummer - more money. Do you know if ESXi is installed on external flash, cn it boot and use external storage - iscsi for example?

Yes, if I can install it on a stick, I have an external array for storage - just have to figure out how to install it on the usb, as the server wont boot the installer
View ArticleRe: ESX5i on R420 with SATA?

Have you already configured RAID in the CTRL-R utility? The PERC's do not support non-RAID, so RAID must be configured before the OS can see/use any drives connected to the PERC.

Mike, Windows 2012 Hyper V isn't supported on the 2950 's or any other 9th generation Dell server. Due to its age it is only compatible on the 11gen and 12gen servers.

My mistake. The drivers were included. The missing storage driver was for another controller.
