esxi 5.5 install error: could not create locker database

Does anyone happen to know what this error is and how I can fix it?

ESXi 5.5  install error: could not create locker database

Trying to install 5.5 on a supermicro server with a LSI megaraid raid 9361 – 4i.

The software sees the raid controller during the install, and gives me the  error at the end of the install.

I understand that you are using visor image for installation(booting from USB).

USB booting doesnot provide a persistant scratch location.You need to point explicitly to a persistant scratch location.

Have a look @http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=103369...

for creating persistant scratch partition.

Hope this helps
