Finding the correct install disk for my kickstart file

$

Hi,

 

we are going to install some Dell T330 which have internal harddisk and a SD Card module. Our goal is to install ESXi6.5 on the SD Card with a pxe installation and a ks.cfg file.

One big problem is to define the target installation disk in the kickstart file:

The "install --firstdisk=local --overwritevmfs" option in the ks file does not work since firstdisk=local is interprated as the local harddisk.

I also tried "install --firstdisk=usb-storage --overwritevmfs", but this one fails with the error, that such disk does not exist.

 

So what would be the right parameter for the "install..." option?

 

I did a manual install and took a screenshot that shows how esx intereprets the storage.

See the screenshot attached.

 

Any help would be appreciated,

 

Chris
