Unable to Install Esxi 5.5 in UCS220 M4S

[muazam ali]

Guys;

     I am unable to install Esxi 5.5 in Cisco UCS220 M4S. The said server wasn't pre installed with any RAID configuration so i created RAID 5 however after installing Esxi it displayed a purple screen which says "Could not start pcpu 1; TSC sync timed out". 

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Greetings.

What CIMC version is your server running?

Can you try running the CPU/mem tests from the Server config utility, which is a bootable ISO : https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=286281345&softwareid=283137444&release=4.0(10a)&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

I am curious if another Esxi install ISO, 6.0 for example, has the same install error?

If you have multiple ESXi ISO's triggering the same error, you may want to open a TAC case, and have the logs reviewed.

Thanks,

Kirk...
