Named Pipe Serial Port not working

I have installed ESXi on Raspberry PI. And I try to set the serial port in the VM, but it doesn't work.

First try:
Set the file name to "/vmfs/volumes/(datastore)/serial1". not working. Same as below error log.

Second try:

With reference to this, edit configrules and restart the hostd service. not working. Same as below error log.
