PCIe HBA for ESXi 4.1 U1 and HP Ultrium5 SAS

[cliffcahill]

Hey Guys,

Can anyone recommend a HBA for a HP Proliant DL360 G7. I want to connect HP Ultrium 5 SAS tape unit to a VM (Direct Path I/O) to run Symantec Backup Exec to back up my VM Environment.

Having a look at the HP website and the VMware HCL i foolishly choose the P212 Controller..  This resulted in PSOD

My Host are running ESXi 4.1 U1 all the latest firmware on the hardware has been applied

Any of you guys ran with a similar successful configuration previously?

Cheers

Cliff
