ESXI 7.0 IO hardware support

Hi!

Trying to install esxi 7.0 on cisco blade server UCS-B200-M3 and have problem with storage controller.

Controller - LSI Megaraid SAS 2004.

ESXI installation says "unsupported device",  but VMware Compatibility Guide says - this device supported in 7.0

VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search

After installation complete - device available only for passthrough.

Here is PCI device info from my esxi installation.

Are you using the Cisco custom ISO? Even if it is available in the VMware Compatibility Matrix you need to check on the Cisco Compatibility Matrix and the Broadcom one:

Cisco Unified Computing System - Technical References - Cisco

This is mentioned on the KB on the VMware Compaitiblity Matrix: VMware Knowledge Base
