Add Driver To Esxi 6
Sep 23, 2017 ESXi no longer supports Realtek Network drivers. To be able to install ESXi with the Realtek drivers users will have to create a custom ISO. Keep in mind these are unsupported drivers by VMware, so use at your own risk. Normally I would use my trusty ESXi-Customizer GUI program but it is no longer supported for ESXi 6. Jun 05, 2017 Add custom drivers to standard ESXi 6.5d ISO. You can use the vSphere ESXi Image Builder to create an ESXi ISO with custom drivers added. See for more information about vSphere ESXi.
I am trying to add a 4TB HDD to my ESXi server, but I can't find out how. I've tried following a few tutorials on the internet, which say to go to the configuration tab, storage, rescan the datastores and add the HDD from there, but mine won't show up.
I'm pretty sure that my HDD is working properly and should be working, because it shows up in the health status:
Maybe I've missed a step or five, I just can't figure out how to add it. I've got a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 if it matters.

According to the screenshot below, you have an 'Unconfigured Disk'..
This means that the drive needs to be configured on your HP Smart Array B120i RAID controller before it can be used by an operating system or VMware ESXi.
You can perform this from the ESXi command line using the hpssacli command located in /opt/hp/hpssacli/bin/hpssacli on your server..
or
Upgrade Esxi 6 To 6.7
You can accomplish this by pressing F8 during the Smart Array RAIDC controller initialization in the BIOS when the server is booting.
From there, you'll need to create a 'logical drive' on the new disk you've inserted. Dancehall riddims download rar files. From there, the storage will be visible to VMware ESXi.
