The unattend file is called cfg.ini, and needs to also be in the root of the thumbdrive with the WHS 2011 DVD image on it.
WINDOWS HOME SERVER 2011 ISO INSTALL
As you probably know, the MediaSmart or DataVault server doesn’t have a video input, so you’re going to need to do the install via an “unattend file”.

I already have instructions on how to do that here. First you’ll need to format it and make it bootable. I’m actually using the Data Traveller by Kingston. The image is slightly bigger than 4GB, so I had to step up to an 8GB thumb drive. The first step here will be to prepare your media, usually on your client computer. (I hear it works on the ex48x, but I only tried the ex49x) So if you’ve got the grey top, you’ve got a lot more work to do that isn’t covered here.

Also, I think the MicroServer is quieter than the MediaSmart (at least the ex475 that I had)Īdditionally you’ll have to use the EX490/495 or DataVault as Vail requires at least 2GB of RAM, which aren’t in earlier models of the MediaSmart servers (e.g. But it’s still a cute little form factor. I took this opportunity to get an HP ProLiant MicroServer, plus it does at least RAID1 (Mirror) where the MediaSmart or DataVault servers cannot do any form of RAID. That's basically the gist of it.Well, I’m positive this is something that HP will not support, so don’t even think of calling them if you go down this road, but I figured it’d be fun if you wanted to continue to use the same hardware. So you can get back to this moment in time if antivirus/network/client workstation problems make you wish you could get back to where you were Leaving IPv4 and IPv6 as is, and be sure you're on "Home" network, and other hosts can ping this virtual machineĨ) Set VMware Tools to keep clock in sync with ESXi host It's called "VMXNET 3", rationale explained here:ħ) Power up, rename NIC and hard-code the IP address

Here's a high-level overview of what the video below covers, step by step. If you're interested in the installation of close-relative Windows Home Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials and/or using deployments for initial backup strategy, see also /install-windows-home-storage-server-r2-essentials-in-esxi-virtual-machine. For some additional background & tips on configuring the BIOS on recent Z68 motherboards, and step-by-step walk thru showing how to install ESXi itself (it's quite easy), see /vsphere5-install-step-by-step. And to keep things simpler, this ESXi host has only one NIC configured, and the VM has only one NIC configured. These instructions assume you've already got the hardware to run ESXi.
