#VMWARE DELL R710 RAID MONITOR INSTALL#

I then ssh'd into the ESXi server and ran the following which also shows ESXi sees the disks (sort ls -alh /vmfs/devices/disksĭrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Sep 24 15:22. I tried changing the bios to UEFI and had no change at all. If I go into Host>Manage>Hardware it sees the PCIe eSata Controller and says SR-IOV = Not capable and Passthrough = Disabled. When I get into VMware ESXi 6.5 I can see the eSata controller but if I go to expand the current datastore it sees no drives. If I enter the RAID Utility it does NOT see the drives though it only sees the 8x 300GB 2.5' drives in the front of the unit plugged into the backplane. When I boot the server the BIOS sees the eSATA PCIe card and all 8 4TB drives.

I tried resseting BIOS to default values and resseting the raid.So I have a Dell R710 running the following. iDRAC does not show any technical issue. I checked checksum of the downloaded installation files – that is OK. downloading and installation of several version from our VMware account - no avail

installation on two servers – the same result. VMware vSphere 5.5 U3 – the installation stopped at „Loading /tools.t00“. VMware vSphere 5.1 – the installation stopped at „Loading /tools.t00“ VMware vSphere 5.5 – the installation stopped at „Loading /tools.t00“ VMware vSphere 6.0 - the installation stopped at 'Loading /tools.t00' VMware vSphere 6.7 – the installation stopped at „Loading /vin.v00“ No grey-yellow screen, no installer, no warning, no error message.

I start from installation CD, then there are many files which are loaded, everything looks OK - but there is a moment the loading is stopped and nothing is happening.

I am trying to install ESXi to these servers but installation got stuck before ESXi installer is loaded. We have three servers Dell PowerEdge R710 (Intel Xeon 5675, 48 GB RAM, raid controller PERC H700/512 MB).
