I found a succinct article, Create an ESXi 6.5 installation USB under two minutes, but the steps listed there expect you to use a Windows application to build the USB media.
Seriously, use Rufus and skip to the end of this article for a couple extra tips. Short version: use Rufus on Windows to build your bootable installation USB flash drive! Even if you are not a Windows user, find a Windows machine or download a Windows VM and use Rufus to build your boot media.
I ran into several missteps along the way, which I have documented here: Great! I set about doing just that.įirst of all, I should note that you can’t upgrade directly from 5.5 to 6.7, so I upgraded to 6.5 first. ESXi 5.5 recently reached end-of-support (see End of General Support for vSphere 5.5), but my sales rep informed me that I was eligible for a free upgrade.
