I cannot figure out how to actually install the guest OS, in this case Ubuntu 12.4. from an ISO image on a DVD, or from a USB drive. For that matter, I can't figure out how to make the USB drive even visible.
VMware help seems strangely silent on the subject.
I have an HP DL380, two CPUs, 4GB, pair of SCSI disks as raid, and a netwoork connection. The box works; it is running another VM added as an OVF file. Note that I do NOT, at the point, have any NAS, iSCSI, etc. But with >100GB of disk, there should be plenty of room to install.
The box is running ESXi 5.x, downloaded about a week ago (mid-July 2012).
Any suggestions? This is supposed to be an evaluation of moving to VMware; so far I am underwhelmed.
Thanks!
