DL380G9 "Unsupported HP SD Card" error at Intelligent Provisioning (ESXi 5.5.0 U2 installation)

[Juha Rimmi]

Hi

P/N: 768345-425, HP DL380p G9 E5-2620v3

P/N: 726116-B21, HP 8GB Micro sd

1. I select F10 for Intelligent Provisioning
2. At Select optional hardware settings window it says at "SD Card Configuration" this:

Device: HP SD Card

HD: /dev/sde 7602MB

Unsupported HP SD Card

What is the problem and how to carry on?

At this situation, If I try to install "VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-Update2-2068190-HP-5.77.3-Nov2014" it seems to go to 3x900GB RAID 5 disks which is unwanted.

Intelligent Provisioning doesn't support that 8GB SD card. 

Even if you had the supported 32GB card, the OS installation wouldn't let you select the SD card as a the device because VMware doesn't support the card.

Ah,

this my first ESXi 5.5 installation. Will USB-drive be suitable? Any criteria how to chooce correct USB drive?
