NvDimm not showing up in esxi 6.7

Hi i´m having trouble getting my newly installed nvdimms to show up in vmware esxi.
Some background, I have 5 servers hpe dl360g9 with 64gig of nvdimm installed at each hardware, the nvdimms shows up in bios.
Bios version in use 2.34 the last version for gen 9 supporting nvdimm and are "sanitized"/erased and shows up at boot in "bios" but not in esxi
I´ve spoken with hpe support and since the memory modules show up in bios all is working from a hardware perspektive.

Vmware image in use are "VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-Update2-13006603-HPE-Gen9plus-670.U2.10.4.1.8-Apr2019"

I´ve tested these exact servers with "fake nvdimm" but i have disabled fake nvdimms and restarted prior to installing the real nv-dimms

One thing that i´ve noticed is that i cant find any command in vmware to configure the nv-dimms like a command as "ipmctl" (so this may be the thing)

What am i missing here? how can i get my nv dimms to work?
