ESXI install through lifecycle controller or direct?

Hi,

does it make a difference if I install the Dell VMWare ESXi ISO through the lifecycle controller OS deploy or by directly booting the ISO?

 

cheers

Hello,

The only thing that the Lifecycle controller or the custom ISO do is package drivers. I would expect them to accomplish the same core thing, but specific drivers might be a little different. I generally recommend using the latest .ISO of the latest ESXi revision you can use. This way, you can get the latest drivers packaged into your deployment.
