Please attach vmware.log file for inspection.
I bundled both host. 192.168.14.1 is OK. but for your reference. depoy vsa used:HPE_StoreVirtual_VSA_2014_for_vSphere_OVF_TA688-10542.
vsa02/for host 192.168.14.3 failure.
i try deply OVF from file VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.5.0.10000-5973321_OVF10. vsa could not created.
sorry. but how can i upload log? very big about 58MB. very strange now could not find attachment access port.

Can you check this KB as it is same as this error " The specified device is not a valid physical disk device"
This issue occurs when you have configured the ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation setting to point to the base of your ESXi host's local storage and you have virtual machines running on the same local storage. This also occurs when you have the scratch partition on the base of the local storage and have put virtual machines in a sub-directory under the configured scratch partition. This is not supported with ESXi and any such virtual machine vmdk's are marked as insecure.
Note: This issue can occur on NFS storage where the scratch directory is the base directory of the datastore, and in the same directory as virtual machines directories, or virtual machine directories are in a subdirectory of the directory containing the scratch directory.
Thanks,
MS
Compress vmware.log (located in the home directory of the VM) and attach it here.
sorry, how can i put attachment? see screenshot below.
Open the full thread (not the quick reply) and find the attach button in the lower left-hand corner.
I just add one VM. attached is log.
I could not deploy VSA any longer. It sounds data store error.
at very beginning. when i add host 2 to VC. VC give warning: System logs on non-persistent storage
i change path as /vmfs/volumes/5a372d98-c11be218-1176-98f2b302b20c and warning disappeared.
There is not any other error and warning coming until VSA deploy failure.
thanks!

No, could not solved.
when i try change directory /vmfs/volumes/5a372d98-c11be218-1176-98f2b302b20c to /vmfs/volumes/5a372d98-c11be218-1176-98f2b302b20c/scratch. system give alert: wrong parameter.
thanks!

It sounds like you have a device failure if you're getting that message.
This is the message the kernel is throwing when trying to open the disk
2017-12-20T02:08:49.060Z| vmx| I125: DISKLIB-VMFS : VmfsExtentCommonOpen: DiskLibIsExtentPathSecure claims extent path "/vmfs/volumes/5a372d98-c11be218-1176-98f2b302b20c/WEN-PC12/WEN-PC12-flat.vmdk" is insecure, failing disk open.
Where is this stored? ESXi seems to think it's on scratch.
Open your ESXi host in the host client and past a screenshot of the Events pane.
??
What type of device is backing DS02? Those USB configuration messages shown in the event log are strange. Is this a USB device?
From a SSH session on your ESXi host, paste the output of df -h
sorry, i delete the host and centre. rebuilt VMware.
thanks for your help!
