Install VMware ESXi on the Dedicated Server in Hetzner.

VMware ESXi

There was then a need for people to download two dedicated servers in Hetzner eyeballs 32 GB RAM machine for POS terminals. Well, actually originally I decided the old-fashioned rolled forward on CentOS Dev from Oracle and Virtual raise already there, but glozhit the point that SunBox desktop version, devoid of any buns inherent in the professional version like VmWare.

So it was decided to put on a dedicated server from Hetzner ESXi virtualization from VMware.
This is done for the manes Rescue through the console, which connects to the Hetzner Robot, go to the tab Servers, choose your server and open the tab Rescue, where we choose the 64-bit Linux. Reboot the server and to ssh to connect with said initialization Rescue, login. Theoretically, Rescue Linux console can be placed either option UNICHEM supported in the system through a special script installimage. Moreover, it can be connected via the external image and to install him.
Especially as Hetzner has its own repository with the available image as unix systems, and of windows. And the main thing for me - vmvareskih ESXi:

But there is a bad moment that this script only supports images in the expansion of tar, tar.gz, tar.bz, tar.bz2, tgz, tbz. The installation script from the console, would be as follows:
# Installimage -n server176 -r no -l 1 -p swap: swap: 64G, /: ext3: all -i http://mirror.hetzner.de/bootimages/vmware/VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820- depot.zip
But because zip is not supported and would configure image by hand, I decided to use the standard ISOshnik that you can pull up a virtual disk through a management console LARA, which must be ordered through the admin panel Robots: Support -> Requests -> select a server in the Server -> Request type - > Server requests -> Remote Console (LARA)

After a while a letter with your login data for the system LARA, where we connect the installation CD ESXi, through LARA -> Interfaces -> Virtual Media -> Image on the Windows Share, and then reboot the machine and climb into the KVM Console, requires the use of Java. When you boot the machine, call the Boot menu at F8-F11 on startup, select the point where there PepperC Virtual Disc 1 and 0.01 ship with a virtual disk, getting into a regular installer ESXi, which has all the standard is put fairly quickly.

The only thing necessary to consider the time that is given for free LARA only three hours, incl should not delay the setup process on the back burner.

After all put, we swing from the site vSphere Client, log in with the specified password and are not frightened that vSphere Client that there trialkyl talking about 60 days after which the machine will be repaid. ESXi system is free, it should be divided into to get a free license eternal and easy to install on the system.
