can you confirm if you change change scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic" to scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068" It only applies if the virtual disk is configured like this scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068" On the target platform boot the newly created VM into the Windows Recovery CD. After boot is finished click on the CMD-button and run regedit. Select HKLM and then Menu > File > Load Hive. Browse to the Windows-directory on the virtualdisk > system32\config and select the file SYSTEM. When asked for a name enter ILIAS_NB_FIFTH. Then find the key   HKLM\ILIAS_NB_FIFTH\ControlSet001\services\LSI_SAS   and set the start type to REG_DWORD 0 Then select HKLM\ILIAS_NB_FIFTH and click Menu > File > Unload Hive. You can close regedit now and restart. On next boot you can start into the Windows Vista system. It should find drivers and probably needs a reboot when done Regards, Randhir

1. If the system is preinstalled with UFM module vSphere 6.0 can we just download 6.5 from the vendor and run the upgrade from DVD yes you can, but before check if hardware does support to vSphere 6.5 2. If the system is not preinstalled, and the UFM module is empty, can we download 6.5 install this with the license we have for 6.0 ? yes , vSphere 6.5 product does not need new license keys. The existing 6.0 licenses will work and enable all the features of the software once upgraded. The ESXi 6.5 features are automatically enabled after you upgrade from ESXi 6.0. All vSphere 6.x and vCenter Server 6.x keys work with ESXi 6.5 and vCenter Server 6.5. Prior to upgrading your software from 6.0 to 6.5 please view Important information before upgrading to vSphere 6.5 (2147548) See below link for vcenter upgrade from 6.0 to 6.5 and many more ........ http://masteringvmware.com/how-to-upgrade-vcenter-server-6-to-vcenter-server-6-5-step-by-step/ Regards, Randhir If you found my answers useful please consider marking them as Correct OR Helpful
