is the LSI SAS9220-8i card compatible with esxi 6.7u3? spent about a day trying to get this card to passthrough. any guide on how to do this?
It seems to be, but not as a pass-through device. The HCL does not qualify such devices for pass-through and, typically, you probably shouldn't be trying to do it in the first place as it negates much of the benefits of virtualization.
Thanks for the info. I received this LSI card for free and never have i used one. any recommendations on a cheap pass through sata card?
I don't recommend passing storage cards through to VMs. Let ESXi handle the storage and you just create virtual disks. Otherwise continue to use physical hardware.
This is just a simple home lab setup not for production currently limited to 6 sata ports wanting more like 8-10 usable sata ports total
