[infra3]

Hi ,

I am unable to install esxi 6.5 u1 on hp 460 gen 7 server, after booting with iso some time will run then suddenly it stops.

Any one have idea on this

this was caused by the hpe-smx-provider

I'm afraid that 460 Gen 7 is not supported with ESXi 6.5 and later

I would recommend to go with ESXI 6.0 unless you have any specific requirement of ESXI 6.5 as there's ongoing PSOD issue with HP G7> servers with ESXI 6.5 U1. Once it's resolved then later you can upgrade it.

Update manager still shows 6.5 Update 1 needed even though host is running 6.5 U1 installed from HPE...

Looking at the list of supported servers for ESXi6.5 your server is not on the list of supported devices.

Unfortunately this is a question to take up with HPe as the the support status as it is their responsibility to provide compliance.

HI ,

Install esxi 6.0 U3 and using VUM - upload 6.5 u1 iso and do update , it will works.

As per HCL it is not , but there will be some options to install , it is for testing only  .

I will check and update

IT may work, but you will not be in a supported position.  this may be acceptable for Test and Dev or even staging or QA but I would not want to go in to production in this state

Dear Raj ,

It worked thanks a lot .

It is only for testing , as I checked HCL this server is not supported.
