UUID number of the physical arch linux / root partition is not recognized by esxi 7

Hello to everyone.

 

I'm trying to boot with esxi 7 the physical installation of arch linux,that I created on the disk /dev/sdc in efi mode,where sdc1 is the efi partition and sdc2 the root partition. In arch linux the UUID number of sdc2 is : dae266be-16e9-41b1-bb07-1994c4541d06,as u can see below :

I haven't any problem to boot arch linux using the physical disk,but it does not work when I try to boot it using esxi 7,because it can't find the UUID of the partition,as u can see on the attached screenshot. Could someone give me some help to understand how can I fix the error ? very thanks.
