Have you tried running "lspci | grep hba" to get your list of HBA devices?

[Dmitri_Manushin]

ok, here is details, but still no vmhba32

00:00:1f.2 Mass storage controller: Intel Corporation 2 port SATA IDE Controller (ICH9) [vmhba0]

00:03:00.0 Mass storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Dell PERC H700 Integrated [vmhba1]

[homerzzz]

Are you looking at the correct host? The APD event is on rupesxvm03 and you are looking for the HBA on rupesxvm01?
