ESXi를 USB에 설치하는 것에 대해서 공부하다 보니까
embedded와 installable의 차이가 궁금해졌습니다.
구글링하다 도움되는 글들이 있어서 저장 겸해서 올려놓습니다.

Configuring a persistent scratch location using the vSphere Client
To configure persistent scratch space for ESXi using the vSphere Client:
- Connect to vCenter Server or the ESXi host using the vSphere Client.
- Click the ESXi host in the inventory.
- Under the Configuration tab, click Storage.
- Right-click a datastore and click Browse.
- Create a uniquely-named directory for this ESXi host (for example,
.locker-ESXHostname). - Close the Datastore Browser.
- Click Advanced Settings under Software.
- Select the ScratchConfig section.
- Change the
ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocationconfiguration option, specifying the full path to the directory. For example:/vmfs/volumes/DatastoreUUID/.locker-ESXHostnameNote: To determine the Datastore UUID:- Navigate to Configuration > Storage.
- Select the datastore.
- View Location under Datastore Details.
The Datastore UUID appears similar to /vmfs/volumes/51dda02d-fade5016-8a08-005056171889 where 51dda02d-fade5016-8a08-005056171889 is the UUID.
- Click OK.
- Put the ESXi host into maintenance mode and reboot for the configuration change to take effect.
