Hi all, I have ESXi 5.1 currently running on an R910 with the dual SD card module. My SD cards keep failing, and I think it's because ESXi in configured as 'installable' (I see the state.tgz file in the bootbank directory) and the excessive writes are killing the cards.
So the question: How do I get ESXi to install in embedded mode? In the Dell BIOS, the only option for the SD card 'mode' is either Floppy, HD, or Auto. If I use HD mode, ESXi sees the SD cards as 8GB hard drives and uses Installable mode (what I have now). There's no 'USB' or 'Flash Media' mode. Is there some magic way force an Embedded mode install?
Thanks!
