C22 M3 can't install vmware esxi

[MesutErkus]

Hi,

I have cisco c22 m3s v02 rackmount server ,i want to install VMware vSphere ESXI but esxi doesn't find disk to install.I tried many custom cisco iso still same problem.

I have LSI mega raid and configuration is raid 1.I try to install win2012 r2 server ok and raid works fine.

Do i have to change raid controller or i miss esxi iso?

If i have to change raid controller which do you prefer? (raid1)

Can you help me please?

Best Regards

Hello Tausif , thank you for your document but still we couldn't solve the problem. 

We have just been to try again after read that  documents but we can't arrived final. our problem when we are begin to  install after raid confugratin ,the hdd are not recognized. i was read  raid documants about ucs c22 m3 server it's have got lsi embedded  megaraid device so it's not support with vmware. is it true ? if it is  false what is true ?

If i buy new raid device ,is this problem going to solve?

Hello,

What raid controller card is installed in the server ?

ESXi does not support Embedded RAID controller
