Hello.
--- newbie on vshpere ---

I have installed esxi vshpere hypervisor free on a boot usb and a good compatible machine. (based on shuttle sh67h7 as many people)

I have a problem. I boot from a USB stick and all is working fine, but it is impossible to remember the configuration after reboot.
no management network, no virtual machines, no nothing,

If I modify something in the datastore, after reboot and add again the management network and the virtual machine, it works fine.
but if I do something related to the system, as changing the management network or the IP, i loose the changes after reboot.

I am pretty frustrated, because I don't really know what is happening.

I need some help or directions where to see something.

thank you.

system:
shuttle sh67h7
i7 3770
local datastore harddisk barracuda

verison:
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.0.0.update01-623860.x86_64

Seems that the system is having trouble writing the backup config file. If you access the console and run - /sbin/backup.sh 0 /bootbank/ does the system update the state.tgz (or local.tgz) file in /bootbank?

you are right.
it looks for some reason the USB was in read only mode (¿?).
it has solved repartitioning it, and installing again the hypervisor.

Thank you.
