Thanks for your welcome and reply. I do have SAN storage available in production, however since I am performing a clean installation of ESXi 5.1 I am going to lose connectivity to the SAN as host settings will be wiped. To re-establish connectivity I need to install MEM, but since I don't have local storage I can't install MEM (chicken before egg scenario). In my lab I tried to manually create the (iSCSI) vSwitch, iSCSI Software Adapter, grant access to a volume and rescan but can't see the volume. This didn't seem to be an issue when installing MEM 1.0.1 on ESXi 4.1 as the installer did not need copy the zip to a datastore. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
