Hello, interesting issue...

try this:

- check if download was ok by check MD5 hash

- try to download and use HP customized vmware image from HP download site for your server:

You need to use the HP customized image for ESXi 6.  I'd suggest the newest build (6.0 U1) as the 6.0 build had issues with database corruption when using snapshots.  The iscsi driver does not support the native raid controller in the standard ESXi 6 image.

Please make shure you also using the inteligen Provisioning (F10) on Boot screen. And as recomendedet the ESXi HP Customized image:

Make also shure you are using the Performance mode of your server (set in the Intelligent Prov).
Good luck
