Datastore drive tipe wrong, reporting non-SSD on SSD Drive

[zizux]

I have a HP BL460c G1 and its possible that it would work in a newer one.

I searched but maybe didn't use the right terms.  What is ESXi 5 looking for to define a datastore as SSD or not?

We have newer blades in production but I wanted to do some testing of the new ssd stuff on the G1.

It isn't the SSD drive, (Which is a OCZ Agility 2) cause I booted an optiplex 755 up with ESXi 5 on usb with that drive connected and it came up as SSD.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the raid controller on the G1.

Maybe you need to alter the claim rule a bit, just like Duncan over at yello-bricks.com needed to do when playing with the swap-to-host cache feature...
