HP LeftHand VSA stops at Probing EDD prompt during boot

[Oneil Matlock]

Hi folks,

We are using a HP LeftHand VSA version 11.5 appliance imported on to an ESXi 5.5 U1 server.

We've configured the license, management groups, volumes, etc. and have restarted several times.

Now for some reason getting the following prompt (screenshot attached) when powering on the VSA and will not continue boot.

Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok

Checking if anyone would have a suggestion?

Thanks!

Strange.  I'm no esx guy so I don't know if that is something with the OS HDD not being accessable, but generally these things are rock solid and only stop working if the underlying storage of the OS is somehow corrupted.  Seems like time to contact support.
