Slow ESXi 6 Update 1b boot

Hi,

I'm working with VMware ESXi 6 Update 1b on top of Lenovo server with 192GB RAM and two SAS disks that ESXi installed on them (RAID1). The boot process takes 15 minutes (Yes!) until I can manage the ESXi host via vSphere client/Web Client.

Most of the time it's loading modules such as NFS, NetApp modules and other storage modules.

Comparing to the same server model with ESXi 5.5 Update 3b - It takes 5 minutes to boot up.

How can I speed up the server so the boot time will be quicker? (I'm working with latest firmware updates)

Thanks.
