FT = Fault Tolerance.

There is currently no inbox driver (hpsa) support for Gen9 HPE Smart Array and HPE Smart HBA controllers in the VMware vSphere 6.0 image. Customers trying to install the VMware vSphere 6.0 image will observe that the storage attached to the Gen9 HPE Smart Array and Smart HBA controllers will not be detected and the OS will not install. Customers need to use the HPE Custom Image to successfully install vSphere 6.0 when using these controllers or create their own custom image using the hpsa driver version 5.5.0.74 or newer available from http://vibsdepot.hpe.com or http://www.vmware.com/.

  • 1 Successful installation of the VMware operating system requires either the HPE custom ESXi image or an OS image can be created with VMware's ImageBuilder application that has, at minimum, appropriate device drivers to support the boot controller and at least one network device in the server. A list of drivers included in the HPE Custom Image is available here
