Emulex is not installed !!! - HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8

[Johnny7]

Hello together, 

I have a problem with a ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server. 

I can´t install ESXi 6.0 or 5.5, an error occurs: "no network adapters installed"

And when i start the server, the following error message appears: 

What I have to do?

Can someone please help me? 

Thank you in advance, 

Johnny

Did you tried to deploy HP ESXi image? Did you used IP to deploy? "no network adapters" can be related to the fact that esxi image doesn't have a driver for your network card.

"Emulex FC bios is not installed" it is related to the FC HBA in your server:

I will try to download and deploy a HP ESXi image, if you didn't do that already.

Hi, 

yes, I tried a HP 5.5 and 6.0 ESXi image. 

I also downloaded the driver from the HP homepage and customized the image. 

But both ways didn´t work. 

P.S.: The link in your post is dead :(. 

Thank you for your help!

How about the first line in the screenshot?

This is likely another error message!

What is the exact message?

This is the message: (see attachment)

Did you re-seat the LOM module as suggested?

Looks like maybe an issue with the FlexLOM.

I think the BIOS not installed message is normal unless you have the system configured to boot from fibre SAN
