Hello Hayko,

From the screenshots, it is displaying that it cannot read the storage LastusableLBA or there is a conflict with the information with its reading. can you check if the BIOS and firmware is updated before installing 6.5 and try again or try different storage and check if that works with the same ESXi images.

Thanks,

MS

As msripada suggested, you could try installing on different storage.

You can install ESXi on USB flash/thumb drive especially if this is just for experimentation/testing purpose. You would then boot up the ESXi hypervisor from the USB drive and use the RAID storage as ESXi datastore. A 4GB USB flash drive should be sufficient.

I just run the new firmware updates. Later this day i try installing esxi again.

yesturday i tried also the 6.0 hp image but it gives the same error message.. Normal image did work just fine.

Ok now this become quite interesting... 6.5 custom hp image istalled with no errors on usb memory...

So is the ssd broken or some errors with the custom raid driver. Next i need to install it on some other drive, need to figure where to get one

samsung pro 850 256gb ssd

to confirm there is no fault with ssd try this.

1. boot with esxi installed on usb.

2. Check SSD is listed in available disk.

3. Create vmfs datastore on it.
