Hello, I have a question about ESXi Hypervisor Install.
Can you tell me how to load the Intel VROC Driver in ESXi 7.0U3D and 8.0U3 Installer to load the install target NVMe Device?
In both versions of the OS Installer, the NVMe Device, which was previously listed in the certification list, is not listed.
- Not Showing NVMe Device
I think I may not know how to load the Intel VROC Driver properly, so I will share what I did.
I tried as follows:
1. creating the vmware-esx-drivers folder inside the Installer USB
2. copy the driver (ex. iavmd.vib) to vmware-esx-drivers folder inside the Installer USB
3. Enter shift + o while accessing the Installer
4. Write boot options
- runweasel cdromBoot vmkboot=true disable_vmd_controller=false --driverlocation=vmware-esx-drivers/iavmd.vib
5. Try to check the details in the Storage Device (press F5 key to perform Refresh 3 times)
Result: Unable to find the NVMe Device to be used as the installation target
In addition to the above, here are some options that I found that I could try (some I tried, some I didn't)
- Disable the VT-d option (tried)
- Change PCH SATA Configuration to AHCI to RAID Mode (didn't try)
- Change the driverlocation variable to a relative path (tried)
- Add a boot option (enter shift + o and write vmkboot=true disable_vmd_controller=false) (tried)
- Disable VMD (tried)
If you have any information to help, please share.
Regards,
John Kim
