If you are running ESXi 5.5 or higher AND the mpt3sas driver was installed.
#VMWARE ESXI 6 NFS4CLIENT LOADED SUCCESSFULLY STUCK DRIVERS#
Troubleshooting native drivers in ESXi 5.5 or laterĮSXi 5.5 introduces a new Native Device Driver Architecture Part 2 The below documentation is for 12gbps and Native vs Async drivers sas2flash -o -listallĬopyright (c) 2008-2014 LSI Corporation. See attached command output and screen clip for more. My google fu has failed me also on MPTLib2 error I'm getting on SAS2IRCU. I know LSI has the tools on ESXi but not having much luck on having them recognize the cards.
I guess I can first update the flash to 20.00.07 so both cards have the same FW.
Using Intel OEM 8087-8087 cables so hopefully that is not contributing factor. I've also experienced VM file corruption on one of the drives also. All the SAS Drives show degraded but no SMART issues and ran badblocks before putting in service. Not sure it's a FW issue (20.00.06.00) on one of them or VMW drivers / VIB incompatibilities. (search did not work or I would link to the post in that monster thread ) These are internal but based on the C0 stepping of 2308 and could not be flashed to 9207-8i as discussed in the Intel Xeon e5-2670 pricing thread. I know this can take a long time, but the percentages are static for many hours. I successfully staged about 20 updates (new host deploy) and set it to remediate. HBA: 2x RS25KB080 flashed to LSI FW 9205-8e. Im using ESXi 5.5 and vCenter 6.5 with vSphere Update Manager. I'm having weird issues with HBA on my ESXi 6.5 homelab and need your insight
