ESXI 6.5 Raid Adapteur, error created datastore

Hi,

I just install esxi 6.5 on a ThinkServer TS150, and i try to created a physical RAID.

I am using startech adapter: S322SAT3R. I test the adapteur on windows os and linux sys, i can created partition, and i can read and write on the disk without problem.

But with esxi via web page and vsphere client, i can see my hardrive, but when i try to created the datastore i always get the error.

HostDatastore.created.vmfsDatastore raid. the error apear right during the partition creation.

I try with the disk separed and i can created the datastore without problem.

Sry for my bad english

Mathieu

What is your RAID and disks configuration.

Potentially a compatibility issue. Did you check VMware Compatibility Guide to make sure your server firmware and RAID adapter are compatible?

Go to VMware Compatibility Guide - System Search. Sections of particular interest to you would be:

  • Systems/Servers to check BIOS firmware
  • IO Devices - to check the RAID adapter
