Dear VMware gurus,
I have a HPE microserver Gen8 Xeon1220Lv2.
/sda 4tb data drive
/sdb 4tb data drive
/sdc 4tb data drive
/sdd 4tb data drive
/sde SSD drive (64gb)
/sdf SDCARD drive (2gb)
Due to the HPE's B120i SATA controller hardware limitation, if I select /sda-/sdd as a data drive, /sde SSD drive cannot be a boot drive.
To set /sda as a boot drive, I have to use B120i hardware RAID1 or RAID0.
In order to avoid from this hardware limitation, Microserver Gen8 users are often set /sdf SDCARD drive as a boot loader */boot* partition, and install root "/" partition on /sde SSD drive to install Linux.
Then, my question is how to install boot loader on /sdf and root partition on /sde for ESXi installation.
Best regards,
