3ware 9650SE - not supported in ESXi 6?

From what information I can gather, the RAID-card "3ware 9650SE" is not supported in ESXi 6.

Does anyone know if this is correct?

Does anyone know if it will be supported or if this card is obsolete for ESXi 6?

Thanks in advance

I have two 3ware 9650SE 8 port cards installed and working just fine as can be seen from the attached.

Unfortunately I get the same issue as "kx14" when upgrading to 6.5.

I believe the "vmkapi_v2_0_0_0_xxxx_shim" located in "/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/" get updated in the upgrade.

I am wondering and trying to build up some courage to perhaps save a copy of them, and then install them after the upgrade ...

Hey,

I tried to uninstall 3ware drivers from 6.0U3 and run  a upgrading to 6.5U1.

Upgrade completed, but not able to install 3ware drivers back to host.

Looks like, time to say goodbye to 3ware 9650SE or stay on 6.0U3
