Re: esxi 5.5 install error: could not create locker database

I understand that you are using visor image for installation(booting from USB).

USB booting doesnot provide a persistant scratch location.You need to point explicitly to a persistant scratch location.

Have a look @http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1033696

for creating persistant scratch partition.

Hope this helps
