Hi, 

There was significant file system changes in vSphere 7. If you are using SD card or USB key for boot, you need to provide additional HDD / SDD disk for the ESX-OSDATA partition, which usually contains the ROM data (coredumps, configs etc...)

I this case the OS DATA partition should be extended or additionally created on physical disk device.

More info here:

If you don't want to see the warning, it can be disabled by this:

  1. Select the ESXi Host > 
  2. Click Configuration > Advanced Settings
  3. Search for UserVars.SuppressCoredumpWarning
  4. Then locate the string and and enter 1 as the value 

Cheers,
