An administrator is installing ESXi 5.x to a local SAS drive. The installation stops on a purple
screen and shows the error:
The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue. Could not populate the
filesystem: Admission check failed
Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?
A.
Upgrade the ESXi host to meet the minimum hardware requirement for installation.
B.
Disable the network interface cards (NICs) to ensure that third-party drivers do not interfere with
installation.
C.
Enable hardware Virtualization Technology in the ESXi host BIOS.
D.
Disable the Host Bus Adapters (HBA) to ensure the installation targets the local disk.
Explanation:
Why “Upgrade the ESXi host …”? May be upgrade the ESXi image?
If not, then I select “D. Disable the Host Bus Adapters (HBA) to ensure the installation targets the local disk.”
May be hardware not compatible then yes. Then Upgrade the server hardware and not “Upgrade the ESXi host …”.
