Running Openfiler 2.99 x86_64 in a VM. Current configuration has 18 SCSI hard drives apread across two "LSI Logic Parallel" controllers, 12 drives on the first controller, 6 drives on the second controller. Adding hard disk 19 onto the second controller causes the following error when powering on the VM:

Adding memory to the VM didn't help. The number of drives/controllers appears to be lower than the published Vsphere 5 maximums (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r50/vsphere-50-configuration-maximums.pdf) so I believe this configuration should work. Any advice on what to try to resolve the problem?
