2nd raid doesn't show in Storage tab

[m0hammad]

Hi everyone

I have dl380 g6 and run Esxi 6.0.0, 5224934 on SD card.

before install Esxi, I update server with HPE Service Pack for Proliant 2016.10

I attached 2 series hdd to this server:

1. raid 10 : 4* 300

2. raid 5 : 3* 146

In configuration> health Status> Storage everything is OK. (picture 1)

I can see just Raid 10 HDD and cant see anything about raid 5 in Configuration>Storage>Devices (picture 2)

I clicked on "Rescan All" and "Refresh" several times but nothing happened.

1. I update

thank's

Please select the P410i RAID controller (vmhba1) in the Storage Adapters to see whether it shows the two RAID volumes.

If it shows up, you should be able to format it, i.e. create a new datastore on it using the "Add Storage" wizard.

ok, run ssacli cmd -q “controller slot=0 show config detail”

I hope you put HPE Custom Image for VMware

I installed hpe custom image for vmware esxi 6 0 u3 jul2017

and I have a problem with vmware CLI on windows 10 to run your Command:smileycry:

[IT_pilot]

windows 10?

Then esxcli ssacli cmd -q “controller slot=0 show config detail”.

[m0hammad]

[IT_pilot]

esxcli ssacli cmd --cmdopts="controller slot=0 show config detail"

1. Your Firmware Version: 3.00-0. (mar 2010).

Current version - 6.64 (B) (Oct 2015). https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX-a8f0765b51594bf584992ddbe1#tab1

You need to update.

2. HPE HPSA Driver Version: 6.0.0.124-1OEM.

P410i is old. You can leave it if it works after upgrading the firmware to 6.64.

But you can also try to update to 6.0.0.132-1OEM.

3. Cache Ratio: 100% Read / 0% Write!!!

4. Disks.

For example EH0146FBQDC - firmware Revision: HPD1 (Dec 2011)

Current version - HPD5(1 Oct 2015).

If you want, you can also do.

thank's for reply.

I tries several times to upgrade with SPP 2016 but I get error for array control.

Can I upgrade array control without SPP?

Do you have an Update Manager?

or Firmware Update for Storage Controller on HP ProLiant Server on ESXi Host – Wishing happiness to eve...

By the way, the article also deals with updating from version 3.00 to 6.64.

Apparently 3.00 does not update centrally because of the controller's old age.
