HP Microserver Gen8 Update Esxi 6.0 to Esxi 6.5 U3 not deteced CDRom/DVD
i tried to update my Microserver Gen 8 with intrenal B120i to ESXI 6.5. U3 (HP Custom Image).
My configuration:
HP Gen 8 with B120i with 4 x 3TB WD Red and also includedinternal CDRom / DVD
2 logical Drives over B120i Raid
in ESXI 6.0 everything is detected logical drives and also DVD. So that i could passtrough my physical DVD to my VMs.
After Update (offline upate) and also i tried new install to ESXI 6.5 U3. I used HPE-ESXi-6.5.0-Update3-iso-preGen9-650.U3.9.6.10.1 (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) with 6.5.0 Update 3 (Build 14990892).
Also both logical drives were deteced, but NOT my physical DVD device. ESXI 6.5 used hpvsa driver .....
My question what should i do? so my esxi 6.5 detect my physical DVD device on B120i? Thanxs

Re: HP Microserver Gen8 Update Esxi 6.0 to Esxi 6.5 U3 not deteced CDRom/DVD
Hello,
If the onboard array controller B120i is disabled in BIOS, the optical drive also gets disabled. Hence enable the onboard B120i controller in the BIOS. To enable the onboard array controller(B120i) in BIOS, please follow the below steps:
1. Boot the server to BIOS by pressing F9 during the POST.
2. Select System Options.
3. Select Embedded SATA Configuration.
4. Enable Dynamic HP Smart Array B120i RAID Support.
Please let me know, if the issue still persist.

Re: HP Microserver Gen8 Update Esxi 6.0 to Esxi 6.5 U3 not deteced CDRom/DVD
Yes, in BIOS the onboard array controller B120i is enabaled and also my setting is Dynamic HP Smart Array B120i RAID. I have the right settings in BIOS:
The issue is following: (see also my config: onboard B120i with 4 hard disk drives and one CD-Rom/DVD on ODD Port 5 - this is the purchased equipment from HP )
the ESXI 6.5 system found all 4 hard disk drives on the onboard controller B120i. Also it detected both logical volumes on it and i can use hard drives as datastore. BUT the ESXI 6.5 DID NOT recognize the CD-ROM/DVD on this onboard controler B120i. I could see only the logical devices and NO CD-Rom/DVD Drive.
For Installation I use ESXI 6.5 U3 -- HPE-ESXi-6.5.0-Update3-iso-preGen9-650.U3.9.6.10.1 (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) for the installation also the the problem with ESXI 6.5 U2 HP Custon Image exists.

I would suggest you have a proper case be logged with HPE, and share the appropriate logs for further analysis.
