    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe you could check what exactly is taking that long. You can see messages rotating on that "ESXi welcome screen" during boot-up (various services/daemons being started, etc) before login-prompt is offered. Just take note of what message is sitting there for quite long time...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm working with VMware ESXi 6 Update 1b on top of Lenovo server with 192GB RAM and two SAS disks that ESXi installed on them (RAID1). The boot process takes 15 minutes (Yes!) until I can manage the ESXi host via vSphere client/Web Client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Most of the time it's loading modules such as NFS, NetApp modules and other storage modules.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Comparing to the same server model with ESXi 5.5 Update 3b - It takes 5 minutes to boot up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How can I speed up the server so the boot time will be quicker? (I'm working with latest firmware updates)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Could you share the esx boot log?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just a thought, I remember ESXi hosts presented with RDM luns taking long boot times, check this linked KB if it applies to your environment&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1016106" title="https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1016106"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1016106&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi, Thanks for answering - I got no RDMs on this installation...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'll ask the customer if he'll let me uploading the ESXi logs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any other ideas?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;10X&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
