30. Re: New ESXi 5.5 Install threw PSOD, Raid controller driver?
JPM300 Jun 3, 2014 9:31 AM (in response to romanaxbe)If you dig through HP's drivers section for the controllers you can find the files
This is the link the 420i
you have the option for the bundle or just the vim. If you get the bundle and look inside the zip you will find the new scsi driver number the pervious user posted. The site also gives install instructions to both. You also have the option of using Vmware Update Manager if you want to install it that way as well.
P420
Hope this helps

vincikb Jun 3, 2014 9:42 AM (in response to JPM300)JMP300 are you using a new scsi driver or are you simply following what the advisor says to do by downgrading the driver?
From the advisory: Until this has been corrected in a future version of the hpsa driver (targeted for mid-June 2014), the out-of-memory condition can be avoided by downgrading to
HP Smart Array Controller Driver (hpsa) Version 5.0.0-44.1 (ESXi 5.0 and ESXi 5.1) or Version 5.5.0.50-1 (ESXi 5.5).

JPM300 Jun 3, 2014 9:54 AM (in response to vincikb)Oh I'm not the one with the problem, the pervious post was stating they couldn't find the driver files, I was simply supplying the links for the person to point them into the right direction. It will take a little more digging on the HP site to find the older versions of the drivers. The link provided was the latest ones released by HP. If these are wrong I applogise.

33. Re: New ESXi 5.5 Install threw PSOD, Raid controller driver?
vincikb Jun 3, 2014 10:36 AM (in response to JPM300)Sure thing JPM300 that is why I asked. Like I said I opened tickets with VMware and HP and HP said to downgrade back to scsi-hpsa-5.5.0.50-1OEM.550.0.0.1198611.x86_64.vib which is in the hpsa-5.5.0-1287942.zip driver from the HP website. The problem like you pointed out is if you click on the hpsa it recommends you to update to the latest version which has the memory leak. I told HP they need to remove this message so as not to confuse people. Instead you click on that driver version, then click on the previous version in order to download the version I have listed above.

laura_g Jul 2, 2014 12:13 PM (in response to Dirtrunner)If you have the vSphere Update Manager installed, there are 2 download sources that you can add for the HP bundles and drivers. In Admin View -> Configuration -> Download Settings -> Add Download Source:
http://vibsdepot.hp.com/index.xml for HP bundles
http://vibsdepot.hp.com/index-drv.xml for HP drivers
My servers patched successfully this way.
