hi. &nbsp;how would I make the LUN 0 image with the latest ESXi binary in the storage system? &nbsp;the storage system I would be using is Dell Compellent but in any case, I would think I would need to configure the HBA to boot to a LUN from the HBA bios which is Emulex. &nbsp; What I don't get it is how I would get that latest ISO of build ESXi 5 (639890) into LUN 0 into the storage system.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
