Can we get a status on this? This is keeping me from my testing and possible introduction into our production environment.

My question is why is the partition/volume encrypted anyways? This should be an option for the end user.

I have the exact same error on a HP machine running a X5570 Xeon so there is definitely a bug in the software.

It is a SuperMicro server. I will see if I can try on a non L series proc machine.

This is a single esxi host, no clusters so no EVC. I have no idea how to fix this.

Yes, I get the exact same error that you posted. Using ESXi 6.5. I am not changing any settings so the hardware version is what comes from the ovf.

I am using a Xeon L5640 and it is not working for me.

I am trying to install on esxi 6.5. I have also tried to install in VMware Workstation 12.5. I have downloaded the package twice. Maybe you can list the exact steps your lab team is following for installation.

I am having the exact same issue. I have tried rebooting and even downloading the virtual appliance again. I am trying in a ESXi 6.5 host. I also have the same issue with Workstation 12.5. If anyone at Starwind is monitoring this forum please provide some information.
