HP ProLiant ml350 Gen ESXI installation getting "logs are stored on non persistent storage" error message

Hello,

I tried to install the ESXI on a HP ProLiant ml350 gen 10 server, by using the custo iso provided by HP.

I get the following error message during the installation of the ESXI:

- "Logs are stored on non-persistent storage"

Before launching the esxi installation i have created a logical array in raid 1 (Two disk of 2TB).

The controller hardware is a Smart Array E208i-a SR GEN 10.

According to the document this type of controller is supported by ESXI:

Operating System

S-class

E-class

P-class

Windows

Yes

Yes

Yes

Linux

No

Yes

Yes

VMware

No

Yes

Yes

Legacy Boot mode

No

Yes

Yes

UEFI Boot mode

Yes

Yes

I suppose that the logical array was not detected during the ESXI installation.

Could someone has already face

... during the installation of the ESXI:

That's the expected behavior during installation. The installation runs in memory, and creates the required partitions. After the final reboot, the message should not show up anymore, except you are installing ESXi on a USB/SD device.
