Using the embedded hypervisor
The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is available on the optional
Lenovo USB flash device with embedded hypervisor.
About this task
The USB flash device can be installed in USB connectors on the system board (see
"System-board internal connectors" on page 25 for the location of the connectors).
Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to
run on a host system at the same time. The USB flash device is required to activate
the hypervisor functions.
To start using the embedded hypervisor functions, you must add the USB flash
device to the startup sequence in the Setup utility.
To add the USB flash device to the startup sequence, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Turn on the server.
Note: Approximately 5 to 10 seconds after the server is connected to power,
the power-control button becomes active.
2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1.
3. From the Setup utility main menu, select Boot Manager.
4. Select Add Boot Option; then, select Generic Boot Option > Embedded
Hypervisor. Press Enter, and then select Esc.
5. Select Change Boot Order > Change the order. Use the Up arrow and Down
Arrow keys to select Embedded Hypervisor and use the plus (+) and minus (-)
keys to move Embedded Hypervisor in the boot order. When Embedded
Hypervisor is in the correct location in the boot order, press Enter. Select
Commit Changes and press Enter.
6. Select Save Settings and then select Exit Setup.
