install esxi on BOSGAME mini pc with RL8125 NIC

—

Many mini PCs with Realtek NICs are not natively supported by ESXi. Here’s the steps to install:

1. Install customized ESXI 6.7 ISO (ESXi-6.7.0-20220104001-standard-RL8125NIC.iso). The installation will finish but it won’t support VLAN.

2. Enable SSH on ESXi. Then scp the vib filenet-r8125-9.011.00-10.vib to the /tmp folder.

3. issue cmd “esxcli software vib install -f -v $PWD/net-r8125-9.011.00-10.vib”

Done
