Hey y'all

So I'm getting the following error message when trying to deploy a cluster in ESXi. I'm not sure what kind of in formation y'all need to see if its a known issue--but let me know.

Thanks
Brad

You bet, thanks so much for responding!

- ESXi Version: 7.0u1

- Ontap Version 9.7

- Number of ESXi: I don't know what that is

Deploy type: 1

@BradParker

Are you trying to install an OVA/OVF? This typical of CPU/RAM reservation message.

Edit your VM, go to the resource tab and remove all reservations.

I used the standalone version and work correctly on my vmware homelab.

Hi Brad_Parker,

@cedric_renauld is correct. ONTAP Select Deploy 9.7 currently is not compatible with VMWare ESXi 7.0 update 1; it is only compatible up to VMWare ESXi 6.7 update 3.

Here is the link to our NetApp Interoperability Matrix.
