HP BL460C GEN9 ESXi 6 install to ISCSI LUN on NETAPP 536FLB FLEX-10/10D Not working.

Hello,

Reaching out to anyone who might have some idea here.  I am attempting to install ESXI 6 to a NETAPP LUN.  I can get the LUN to attach to the blade, however ESXi 6 cannot see the LUN during install.  I am using the HPE ESXi image as well as a custom image with the 536 FLB drivers (neither have worked).  I was able to get a Windows server 2012 image with the 536 FLB drivers to install to the LUN, so I know the LUN is attached and working.

This really feels like a driver issue with ESXI, but I'm running out of options.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim
