ESXi 5.5 no NIC가 뜰 경우

HP430 렙탑에 ESXi를 설치하려고 하니 no NIC가 떴다.

검색하여 보니 5.1버전에 들었있던 드라이버거 5.5에서 제거 되었다고 한다.

다음 프로그램을 이용해서 5.1에서 추출한 드라이버를 통합 하면 된다.

참고로 나의 nic는 r8169였다.

Adding Realtek R8168 Driver to ESXi 5.5.0 ISO

Posted by erik on 23 Sep , 2013 in VMware | 51 comments

The ESXi 5.5.0 Build 1331820  that came out yesterday, did not include anyRealtek R8168 or R8169 driver in it. So if your homelab ESXi host only has these Realtek 8168 network cards, you need to build a custom ISO.

The most simple tool to use is Andreas Peetz’s (@VFrontDE)  ESXi Customizer2.7.2 tool. The ESXi Customizer tool allows you to select the ESXi 5.5.0 ISO file and include into it a new Driver in .vib format.

You can then download and extract the VMware Bookbank NET-R8168 driver from vSphere 5.1 ISO or download it from the following link for your conveniance.

Launch the ESXi Customizer and build your new .ISO file

This will create a ESXi-Custom.ISO file that you can burn to a CD and use to install vSphere 5.5 on your host.
