I am running HP Server Automation v7.8 in a lab environment on VMware ESXi, managed via vSphere 4.

On the same host I have several small VMs for OS provisioning testing (512MB RAM, 10GB hdd, one NIC on the same vSwitch that HPSA is running on).

DHCP is configured to hand-out addresses in the 192.168.10.151-200 range. On boot of the VM, it receives an IP (eg 192.168.10.198) within seconds.

However, after it receives its IP, a PXE-E11: ARP Timeout error occurs in trying to boot from the DHCP server.

I do not know if this is a HPSA-specific error, as I have seen reports of the PXE-E11 error on various forums. Proposed solutions I have seen so far (changing VLAN settings, for example) have not been applicable to my environment.

Are there any pointers/troubleshooting steps that can be taken to resolve this?

Is there a known fix (other than upgrading from 5.1) to fix /etc/hosts from being replaced on reboot? I discovered this behavior when running HP's Server Automation tools.
