I was trying to install Esxi 7.0 on virtual box but I’m getting the following error.
PSOD error
I tried with Esxi 6.5 but was getting similar kind of error.
VM Config: 4Cpus, 4GB RAM,40GB HDD
My Machine Specs: i7 8th Gen 8 cores, 32 RAM

The ESXi installer is itself ESXi and you’re in a chicken and egg situation where the installer is crashing and you have no core dump file or partition configured. You can tell this from the bottom 3 lines:
- No place on disk to dump data.
- No file configured to dump data.
- No port for remote debugger. «Escape» for local debugger.
If you’re really brave press the «Escape» key and you can get to the kernel text logs which can frequently tell you a lot about the cause of the crash. But reading the logs at the PSOD prompt is a pain and something I try to avoid by always having a place to dump the core file (the «data» referred to above).
I’d suggest that you either install ESXi to a USB flash drive on bare hardware (see https://www.nakivo.com/blog/run-esxi-from-usb-flash-drive-guide/) or grab an ESXi dd-image and put that on either a physical or virtual USB flash drive (https://www.virten.net/2014/12/clone-esxi-installations-on-sd-cards-or-usb-flash-drives/). You can then pass the USB image through to your virtual environment. By doing it this way you will already have created a core dump partition so that if ESXi crashes you can get a core dump. The ESXi kernel logs, which are text files, are part of the core dump and https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Kernel-Dump-Analysis-Tool/td-p/1429887 has some guidance on extracting them from the dump.
Lastly, if you simply must do everything in a virtual environment you could try creating a core dump partition on a second disk (type 0xFC and size 2+GB) and maybe if you’re lucky the installer will pick it up. If you can get to a command prompt before the PSOD then you can use esxcli to create, configure and make active a core dump partition but pay ignore size recommendations under 2 GB. Nothing is as frustrating as a truncated core dump. See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004299 for more info.

IBM x3650 M4 Series Server Model — Activation Keys Backup to be taken for IMM Moduel II, why?
If you are planning to replace the system board (Mother Board) for M4 series of IBM xSeries 3650 model server, you should and must take the activation keys backup, otherwise you will miss the IMM key. IMM key something like iLO Activation key on HP servers. If that iLO key didn’t acivated, then you won’t get the ‘Remote Access’ option. In the same way, IBM series requires a key to be activated to access the IMM console. IMM Activation to be backuped and restore once the new board get replaced.

Home computer (intel Xeonquad core, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Sata)
I am trying to install EXSI trial version 6.5 from a USB. The computer boots and run ESXi install setup but fails to complete.
Error: purple screen
Failed to mem_map pci bar 0
No place on Disk to dump data
No file configured to dump data
No vsan Object configured to dump data
No port for remote debugger.
P.s- on bios I can’t get the sata hdd as second drive on boot preference if I choose usb.

It is probably due to your computer hardware being compatible with Esxi 6.5 , did you check the HCL?

@Scott — Before Installation, read this on vmware documentation but I wanted to skip this part thinking my PC has some super specs. Bad decision!
Checked on the above link. Mine is Intel Core 2 Quad CPU. I cant find this on the compatability list!

Well that’s your problem , never skip these skips as they are important and will bite you (often very hard) in the rear. Esxi usually runs on a server not a desktop PC, even if it has got super specs.
Generally if it is not the list , it won’t work.

Core 2 Quad is pretty old now. For what it’s worth you can totally run ESXi on a desktop computer, I do it now for my home lab.
But yes I did check with the hardware compatibility list. Only issue I ran into was my NIC — I just purchased a $20 PCIe NIC from Amazon that was on the compatibility list and all was good.

6.5 ESXi might not run, but 5.5 very well just might run. You can still learn a lot in a home lab from 5.5

Home computer (intel Xeonquad core, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Sata)
I am trying to install EXSI trial version 6.5 from a USB. The computer boots and run ESXi install setup but fails to complete.
Error: purple screen
Failed to mem_map pci bar 0
No place on Disk to dump data
No file configured to dump data
No vsan Object configured to dump data
No port for remote debugger.
P.s- on bios I can’t get the sata hdd as second drive on boot preference if I choose usb.

It is probably due to your computer hardware being compatible with Esxi 6.5 , did you check the HCL?

@Scott — Before Installation, read this on vmware documentation but I wanted to skip this part thinking my PC has some super specs. Bad decision!
Checked on the above link. Mine is Intel Core 2 Quad CPU. I cant find this on the compatability list!

Well that’s your problem , never skip these skips as they are important and will bite you (often very hard) in the rear. Esxi usually runs on a server not a desktop PC, even if it has got super specs.
Generally if it is not the list , it won’t work.

Core 2 Quad is pretty old now. For what it’s worth you can totally run ESXi on a desktop computer, I do it now for my home lab.
But yes I did check with the hardware compatibility list. Only issue I ran into was my NIC — I just purchased a $20 PCIe NIC from Amazon that was on the compatibility list and all was good.

6.5 ESXi might not run, but 5.5 very well just might run. You can still learn a lot in a home lab from 5.5

I was trying to install Esxi 7.0 on virtual box but I’m getting the following error.
PSOD error
I tried with Esxi 6.5 but was getting similar kind of error.
VM Config: 4Cpus, 4GB RAM,40GB HDD
My Machine Specs: i7 8th Gen 8 cores, 32 RAM

The ESXi installer is itself ESXi and you’re in a chicken and egg situation where the installer is crashing and you have no core dump file or partition configured. You can tell this from the bottom 3 lines:
- No place on disk to dump data.
- No file configured to dump data.
- No port for remote debugger. «Escape» for local debugger.
If you’re really brave press the «Escape» key and you can get to the kernel text logs which can frequently tell you a lot about the cause of the crash. But reading the logs at the PSOD prompt is a pain and something I try to avoid by always having a place to dump the core file (the «data» referred to above).
I’d suggest that you either install ESXi to a USB flash drive on bare hardware (see https://www.nakivo.com/blog/run-esxi-from-usb-flash-drive-guide/) or grab an ESXi dd-image and put that on either a physical or virtual USB flash drive (https://www.virten.net/2014/12/clone-esxi-installations-on-sd-cards-or-usb-flash-drives/). You can then pass the USB image through to your virtual environment. By doing it this way you will already have created a core dump partition so that if ESXi crashes you can get a core dump. The ESXi kernel logs, which are text files, are part of the core dump and https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Kernel-Dump-Analysis-Tool/td-p/1429887 has some guidance on extracting them from the dump.
Lastly, if you simply must do everything in a virtual environment you could try creating a core dump partition on a second disk (type 0xFC and size 2+GB) and maybe if you’re lucky the installer will pick it up. If you can get to a command prompt before the PSOD then you can use esxcli to create, configure and make active a core dump partition but pay ignore size recommendations under 2 GB. Nothing is as frustrating as a truncated core dump. See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004299 for more info.
