Mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/sdb5 - mount the ESXi OS flash drive partition.
Mkdir /mnt/sdc1 - create a folder directory for the mounted partition. Type the following in the terminal window mkdir /mnt/sdb5 - create a folder directory for the mounted partition for the ESXi. In the next few steps we will mount the USB flash drives partitions, and checksum the files, and finally copy and replace the corrupted file. In this guide, device is a Kingston DT 100 G2 4GB flash drive which contains the faulty OS, with the corrupted file, and device Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 16GB flash drive contains the new file s.v00. Open a terminal, and run the command dmesg, you should be able to see the two connected USB flash drives. We will use the Slax Linux pocket operating system to mount the VMware Hypervisor (ESXi) partitions to fix the corrupted file, by replacing with a known working version.Įnsure that the backup USB flash drive containing the VMware Hypervisor OS is connected to the virtual machine, I've also copied a working copy of the file s.v00 to another USB flash drive, ensure this is also connected to the virtual machine. Power down the existing virtual machine, created in Step 2, and connect the Slax Linux pocket operating system Linux from to the virtual machine. This confirms the USB flash drive has a corrupted file.ģ.
