Hello I'm confused about this error, what should I do? I'm using ibm x3550 m4. Thanks before that

@NakiriHiragi 

Have you run any test on whichever disk that relates to?

Have you checked that the controller is supported by ESXi?

Are you aware that 6.0 is end of life and no longer supported or updated?

Hello.
If you have access to the ESXi Host you could get a DSA (HW and Software logs) to verify if the problem is HW or Software (VMware).

Attached is a link where you can get the DSA from the actual computer manufacturer (Lenovo).

https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/DS539437

From a Windows PC where under the DSA you should run from the command line the following:

lnvgy_utl_dsa_dsala7k-10.5_portable_windows_x86-64.exe --vmware-esxi root:yyyyyy@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

yyyyyy is the root passsword
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx is the ip of the ESXi Host

A Lenovo Support directory will be created on the C drive of the PC, please zip this directory.

Someone's know about this error message? First we delete the raid on server, then we raid the server again (we use IBM System x3550 M4 server), after that we try to install vmware esxi 6.0.0, then we got error like this. If you know the error or having a solution pls reply this, thanks before that I'm so confused. 

[NakiriHiragi]

is this cause we delete the raid partition? And it's not clean yet?

Have you initialized the Raid Volume? If not can you try to initialize the Raid Volume and then try the installation after the Volume is completely initialized.

[NakiriHiragi]

Yes we do, use raid 5

Hello.
Please confirm if you are using the same version and build that you had previously installed on the server.
During installation how many disks or logical drives are detected and available for installation.

Most manufacturers recommend updating all hardware firmware at least once a year if updates are available.

If you need help with hardware firmware updates please do not hesitate to contact me by mail.
