Some digging in the net revealed that the driver for the H97 chipset are missing on the vmWare install image. It could be related to the adblocker, or the pihole I have running in my local network, just to give some hints for people to try if they struggle with the same problem.īooting the image up from a USB stick worked, but I got the error that no network adapter could be found, and vmWare would be unable to install. No clue why they don’t want to download it from Windows. It worked finally on one of my Linux VMs I have running, on the Firefox there. Neither on my regular Firefox, nor on Chrome. Getting ESXi running on this thing should be easy, right? RIGHT?ĭownloading the ESXi 7.0 ISO image from vmWare posed more difficult than I anticipated, as the download button just didn’t want to work. It has an older consumer Asus motherboard built in, not really sure which one it is, it could be an H97-M, but I am not sure. This looked like the perfect opportunity to migrate some workload away from my current home ESXi server I use for all kinds of stuff here in house (I’m a nerd, okay?). Still a respectable 4 core Xeon E3-1231, with 32 GB RAM. I recently upgraded my computer, and the old computer was gathering dust in a corner. But I thought other people might also be finding this useful, so I decided to just publish it and not let it rot in my knowledge OneNote I keep.

This is really more of a reminder for myself for how to do this again in the future, if I need this.
