Attempting to deploy ESXi on server fails
1. Ensure that the ISO location (NFS path) and staging folder paths are accurate.
2. Ensure that the NIC selected during assignment of server identity is accessible by the virtual appliance.
3. Ensure that you select the management NICs based on the network connectivity to the OMIVV.
4. If using static IP address, ensure that the network information provided (including subnet mask and Default Gateway) is
accurate. Also, ensure that the IP address is not already assigned on the network.
5. Ensure that at least one Virtual Disk, or IDSDM, or BOSS is seen by the system.
Auto discovered systems are displayed without model information
in Deployment wizard
This usually indicates that the firmware version that is installed on the system does not meet the recommended minimum
requirements. Sometimes, a firmware update may not have registered on the system.
Resolution: Cold booting the system or reseating the Blade fixes this issue. The newly enabled account on the iDRAC must be
disabled, and auto discovery reinitiated to provide model information and NIC information to OMIVV.
NFS share is set up with ESXi ISO, but deployment fails with errors
mounting share location
To find the solution:

2. Ensure that your network is not running too slow.
3. Ensure that the ports: 2049, 4001–4004 are open and the firewall is set accordingly.
