ESXi 6 Microserver Gen 8 SSD Persistent Storage problem

MacMan2015 — Tue, 26 May 2015 21:47:57 GMT

Looking for help I am new to Esxi and the HP Microserver Gen8

I have installed HP's ESXi v6 without problem onto an internal Micro SD card.

I have an OCZ new SSD installed in slot 1.

I ran this command to ensure the drive was clean (I think it is right)

partedUtil mklabel /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L1061509001582___ msdos

I see the drive in VSphere client when I try and add as persistent storage the progress does not change and hangs.

The following error seems to be looping if I check the status please see the image.

"WARNING : SCSILinuxAbortCommands:1837:Failed, Driver ahci , for vmhba0"

seems to then loop on hard resetting

Can anyone give me some guidance on this please ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

One of the reason could be drive showing as Non-SSD.

Check if the SSD is detected properly; go to Host/Configuration/Storage/Devices and check drive type it should show either SSD or Non-SSD.

In case it shows Non-SSD try tagging the drive as SSD, follow the below link which provides the steps to do.

Thanks,
