Ensure that the following requirements are met:
You have prepared the boot environment. For more information, see Preparing the Boot Environment.
You have access to the host console. For more information, see Accessing the Host Console.
You have prepared the boot media. For more information, see Preparing the Boot Media.
You have selected the installation target and ensured that it is properly installed. For more information, see Preparing the Installation Target.
You have configured the Oracle Storage 12 Gb/s SAS PCIe RAID HBA (host bus adapter) Internal to support the installation. For more information, see Configuring the HBA Cache Settings to Support ESXi Installation.
You have disabled the 64 Bit Resources Allocation property in the BIOS Setup Utility. For more information, see Configuring the Input/Output Settings to Support the VMware ESXi Installation.
You have determined the network management interface you will use for the VM service console.
The VM service console and management interface require a network interface. The service console does not automatically use the first interface with a live connection. Therefore, you will need to select a network interface for the service console during installation since the network interface defaults to vmnic0. For more information, see Configuring Network Interfaces.
You have access to the VMware ESXi installation documentation. VMware ESXi documentation is available at http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp.
