VMware vSphere – have you ever asked yourself what happens when the USB device / SD card where you have installed ESXi fails

SDcard_00

another piece of good news is that this case is monitored by ESXi and you will receive a notification in your vCenter for example „Lost connectivity to the device mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0 backing the boot filesystem /vmfs/devices/diskk/mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0. As a result, host configuration changes will not be saved to persistent storage“
