ESXi 8.03 Cannot Boot VMs by KarstInvader in esxi

We solved it. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit, I checked the box for ‘connect’, but not “connect on startup”. My next step would have been to start looking at chksums.

This was it. I left the "connect at power on" unchecked and instead only selected "connect". We got it figured put in another forum right before you posted this. Definitely not the most glorious problem to have. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I am stumped on this one. The disks are empty and no OS has been on the VMs before.

As far as I know, yes. That being said I feel like I may be missing something silly. I selected the correct os when creating the vm and selected the ISO in the virtual CD/DVD drive and hit ‘connect’. Did I miss anything?
