New ESXi 7.0.1 installtion

Community,

I am trying to complete a fresh install of ESXi 7.0.1 on a Dell R610 with a Perc 6/i Raid controller. No matter what I try the installation cannot find any storage once it gets past the boot loader and into the installer. Does anyone have any suggestions?  Should I remove any and all virtual disks within the Raid configurator on the Dell or should I created an initialized VD? It seems no matter what I do the installer is just not finding any available storage devices to install to. Both local and remote storage indicate no available storage devices.

Thanks.

Hi @askessler ,

Dell R610 serve was last supported with ESXi 6.0 U3. Hardware is not compatible for 7.0 per VMware HCL
