It took few attempts but I managed to get it working. Had few challenges with ESXi and the ACS install itself.
Hosting Platform : I used a generic PC with a quad-core processor and 4GB RAM.HDD 65GB.
VMware ESXi 4.1:
Issue : Installation did not proceed as the Gugbyte onboard LAN card was not recognised.
workaround: Install Intel Pro 1000 LAN card and installation was successful
ACS:
Issue 1: Did not get "setup" option upon installation
Workaround:Need to select Linux other with 32bit as the OS
Issue2: ACS was trying to install on the DVD which had 0 GB free. So it was throwing an error and installation did not complete.
Workaround: change SCSI adapter to LSI and then installation was successful
Issue 3: If the setup does not match the ACS hardware requirements, OS will get installed but the ACS application will not be get installed. I had RAM for 3GB as oppose to 4GBso the ACS application was not installed. this can be verified by "show application status acs"Increased memory to 3.8GB and everything worked.Will upgrade memory in the near future as I need to enable WCS on the same host.
I'm not a proficient with VM so some of the above would be pretty basic.Nevertheless I thought it may help someone to install ACS in an efficient manner as as I spent bit of time troubleshooting/researching above issues.
