ESXi bios update on host without OS installed.
Posted on 2012-04-10
If I have a new Dell R310 host that is going to be used for hosting a P2V virtual system, what would be the easiest way to update the bios on the host system for the motherboard and perc controller? There is no OS pre-installed on the system so my guess is that I will need to boot it from CD and install the bios from this boot disk.
Always seems to be a headache to do it this way though. Suggestions?
Thanks.
