Installin VMware 6.7 on old HP DL360 G7

First you need to create Disk group raid 0 using HP SSP USB drive

Then create primary and secondary boot disk

You might face error The filesystem found with same UUID

To resolve this issue:

  1. Restart the system.
  2. During the reboot, when the hypervisor screen appears, press Shift+O.
  3. In the boot option, type overrideDuplicateImageDetection and press Enter.

After the system starts, use any one of these methods to remove the duplicate ESXi installation:

  • Identify the drive on which you want to remove the ESXi installation, and run this command from the console:# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disks/mpx.vmhba1\:C0\:T0\:L0 bs=1m conv=notrunc
    For more information, see Identifying disks when working with VMware ESX (1014953).
  • Initialize the disk from the BIOS of the SCSI controller, if available.
  • Install other guest operating systems on the disk that contains the duplicate installation of ESXi.
  • Use the vSphere Client to add the datastore to another ESXi/ESX host and format the disk (volume) that contains the duplicate installation.
