F5 BIGIP VE is failing to install on VMWARE ESXi 6.5

May you help pointing me in the right direction for the issue am facing here. Please note that I am only facing issue on VMware ESXi 6.5. Deployments on prior ESXi versions and Workstations are working as expected.

 

Problem Details

 

F5 BIGIP VE is failing to install on VMware ESXi 6.5 with error message "Failed to deploy VM: postNFCData failed: Capacity of uploaded disk is larger than requested".

 

Tests Done

 

  1. Tried deploying BIGIP-11.6.0.0.0.401.LTM-scsi.ova and it failed with same error message.
  2. Tried deploying BIGIP-13.0.0.2.0.1671.ALL-scsi.ova and it failed with same error message.
  3. Successfully installed BIGIP-12.1.2.1.0.271.LTM_1SLOT-scsi.ova.

Observation

 

VM creation with any F5 OVA template with two *.vmdk files is failing. Seems BIGIP-12.1.2.1.0.271.LTM_1SLOT-scsi.ova deployment succeeded because it has ONE *.vmdk file.
