I run a HP G7 N54L which has ESXi 6.5 installed, its getting old but its brilliant.
Anyhow, I ran a Windows 10 VM which I had Plex installed on, for some reason Plex gave up the ghost so I decided to install Ubuntu and was planning on installing Plex on there.
Grabbed the ISO and installed and 5 minutes after install the Ubuntu server froze, so rebooted, froze again.
After some digging I post a post that mentioned its a hardware issue sorted in ESXi 6.5 update 1.
So downloaded and update my server (note there was a warning that future releases of ESXi wont be supported on this CPU) and ran Ubuntu and it worked flawlessly.
May i know build number of 6.5 installed on N54L? Also, is that HPE custom build or open version?
I installed 6.5 d and 6.5 U2 (both HPE build), but somehow hang up after sometime, or even hangup when access via browser.
I got N54L and P410 controller installed.
Thanks

Hi Rob,
Thanks for information.
May i know if all system sensor displayed or working?
I got 6.5 installed but none of sensors works(temp and so). After some time, i make P410 sensor working, but none of others.
Any idea for this?
Thanks
Hi
I have a N54L with ESXI 6.0 I’m trying to find the procedure to upgrade esxi to 6.5 or 6.7
Do you have any info ?
Thanks
Hello,
Its its gen7 then it’ll only support 6.5, here’s the URL for the download.

Burn it to a usb or iso and just boot from it. Pretty straight forward.
