VMWare don't see HDD on the host
Hello,
I'm trying to install VMWare ESX 6.0 U2 on a proliant DL 360 Gen9, but i cannot :-(
During installation i have to select the installation target, but i can't see my HDD (RAID1) on the host.
Please can you help me?
THX in advance.

Re: VMWare don't see HDD on the host
Probably the issue could be related to the HPE Smart Array Controllers (if any) used on the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9: here an interesting VMware KB article.
Would be interesting to verify if the HPE Custom(ized) Image for ESXi 6.0 U2 Install CD image - available here (Release Notes available here) - suffers of the same problem or not.

Re: VMWare don't see HDD on the host
While I don't load VMware often, that KB is for v6.0. One would assume U2 has an updated driver to support the P440. However if your using the B140i Dynamic Smart Array, I think you will need to use the Custom image provided by HPE as the driver for the B140i isn't shipped with any OS.

Re: VMWare don't see HDD on the host
Yep but this (Updated Jun, 1st 2016) is about ESXi 6.0 after U1 was applied to a stock ESXi 6.0...and this, from HPE, also looks interesting (it's updated at June 9th, 2016) so it's a matter to understand if latest ESXi 6.0 U2 Custom Image latest build, if any (so any possible built done after April 2016), is eventually up-to-date against those issues...if we then look at ESXi 6.0 U2 Custom Image's build date we discover there is just one, the April, 7th 2016.
