VMware vSphere

hello,

i have a hp proliant DL385R05 server and i install on it ESXI 6.5,my problem is that in the end of installation i have the message "ESXI 6.5.0 has been successfully installed" and he ask me to reboot,when i reboot the server the following message appears "non-systeme disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready".

NB: a previous ESXI was installed on it, so i haven't change any thing in the bios, i used RAID5,RAID0 and RAID 01 ,also tried to install ESXI 5.5,5.0 and 4.1 but same problem.

thanks for your help.

I'd check boot order in BIOS and bootable logical drive in HPSA setup. Does this system have a full HPSA setup utillity in ROM ? If not then for older systems there's a bootable CD with HP array configuration utility (ACU) with more options.

I believe ESXi 6.5 is unsupported on that system but it should at least try to boot (but there may be other problems; for example the HPE 6.5 image PSODs on DL380G7 hosts)

It looks like the server is setup to boot from the cd rom and/or NIC and not the primary volume.

Check that the array volume is selected in the bios.

Support me by visiting my IT blog

I checked the boot order i found "boot from shared storage " and change it to local storage and it works

Thanks a lot.
