Hi there,

Its because Windows Server 2016 doesn't have drivers natively for the Paravirtual SCSI adapter.

Either change it to the LSI Logic SAS driver and after installing the VMware tools change it or following this blog to load at installation time: https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2017/01/windows-server-2016-install-vmware-paravirtual-scsi-cont...

Here is also an official VMware KB that shows the steps. Follow the part which is headed "To install PVSCSI drivers through CD/DVD drive (Recommended)" from here: VMware Knowledge Base

Kind regards.
