Integrated virtualization

The X6 compute node supports the ESXi hypervisor on a USB memory key through two internal USB

ports (see Figure 3). The supported USB memory keys are listed in the following table.

There are two types of USB keys: preinstalled keys or blank keys. Blank keys allow you to download a

customized version of ESXi and load it onto the key. The compute node supports one or two keys

installed, but only certain combinations:

Supported combinations:

One preinstalled key



One blank key



One preinstalled key and one blank key



Two blank keys



Unsupported combinations:

Two preinstalled keys



Installing two preinstalled keys prevents ESXi from booting, as described at

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1035107. Having two keys that are installed provides a backup boot device.

Both devices are listed in the boot menu, which allows you to boot from either device or to set one as a

backup in case the first one becomes corrupted.

The supported USB memory keys are listed in the following table.
