Looks like you are using a (HP) customized vSphere ESXi installation ISO. Replace that with the (not customized) one directly from VMWare.

Further information also found here: Nested ESXi &amp;#8211; VALIDATE_HOST_HW ERROR: vendor VIB for HP found, but host is VMware, Inc

Which version you need?

5.5 is found here for example: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vsphere/5_5

But you need to register for downloading.You may switch version on the upper left on above page.

hi

ESXi-5.1.0 or any one

i register for esxi server and other products  from month but i cant download the iso file

i dont know what the problem

[cykVM]

Did you probably use a free mailaddress (like hotmail, outlook.com, gmail etc.) for registration? In most cases it works only with a company mailaddress.

yes free email

Then that's the problem. If you have some webspace somewhere with a registered domain (.com, .net etc.) you may try this instead for registration.
