<\/a><\/p>\nI’ve had various boot media fail before, especially when using cheap USB sticks, but until now I hadn’t run into a file corruption issue.<\/p>\n
As I was working remotely to the server I decided to just boot the latest ESXi install ISO I had available and select the “upgrade” process so that the host would retain its configuration.<\/p>\n
This was actually a downgrade as the host was running 6.5 build 13004031 (Express Patch 13) but my install media was only 6.5 build 10719125 (Express Patch 11).<\/p>\n
After the install had finished, I was able to boot the host successfully and then install the EP13 update to bring it back to the same build as the other hosts in the cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n
