Hi,
I was trying to install ESXi 7 and 6.7 on ProLiant ML310e Gen8 v2 and received the following errors:
ESXi 7:
- I used the HPE custom image of ESXi 7 to install it. The installation was successful, while when the server restarted, I received the following error on a red screen:
"NMI detected please consult the integrated management log"
And in the iLO log I found this message:
"Processor 1, DIMM 4 could not be authenticated as genuine HP SmartMemory. Enhanced and extended HP SmartMemory features will not be active"
The memories are 16GB DDR3 made by Crucial!! I could not find any solution, therefore I decided to install ESXi 6.7 on the server.
ESXi 6.7:
After the successful installation, it does not recognize the Raid 1 system!
I see 2 HDD datastores instead of having 1 HDD in the Raid system!!
Please help me with these errors!
PS: Here is more information (commands outputs) that could help to find the solution:

I tried to install HP Raid driver 5.5 on Esxi 6.7 but it did not work.
I searched for a couple of days and noticed that the latest version of ESXi which supports HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 v2 is VMWare 6.0!
Therefore, I installed VMWARE ESXi 6 on the server and it works very well.
>>> After the successful installation, it does not recognize the Raid 1 system!
ESXi does not support software (fake) RAID controllers, but only hardware RAID controllers like the P4xx, which present a logical volume to the operating system.

I have the same machine as you, can you provide me with VMWARE ESXi 6 download, I can't find it
