VMware isn’t very keen on sharing some of the details of ESXi, so it’s very nice that some of us virtualizing geeks are hacking their software to find new features.
One of the major problems with ESX(i) is the support for storage controllers – quite a few have discovered that their controller isn’t supported. Well, that’s a problem of the past from now on: You can just boot ESXi with PXE and still retain the configuration after reboot. You can even exploit this for making completely automatic deployment of ESXi. Kudos to Jim McCann for the guide!
