VMware-specific issues
• Only flat files are supported over FTP. ISO files are not supported.
• A standalone NIC card on the motherboard of the server takes the position of eth0 and eth1, pushing
the embedded NIC to eth2 and eth3.
• VMware ESX and ESXi Custom Image require a custom HP ISO.
Suggested action: Download the ISO from the VMware website.

name is entered in the Host Name field, the Continue arrow disappears.
Suggested action: Make sure the Host Name field contains at least three characters.
