Hello guys
I am seeing a strange problem on my ESXi 5.1U1 (Supermicro Mainboard with a SUN/Intel StorageTek SAS-Controller which is an Adaptec 5805, latest Firmware 17757 applied)
I always see in the logs (vmerknel.log, every 5 Minutes):
2012-11-21T07:30:28.566Z cpu3:2051)NMP: nmp_ThrottleLogForDevice:2319: Cmd 0x1a (0x4124007f5000, 0) to dev "mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0" on path "vmhba0:C0:T0:L0" Failed: H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0x5 0x20 0x0. Act:NONE

Furthermore the controller can't be monitored by remote arcconf. Thus, i installed the latest CIM-provider (cim_vmware_v7_31_18856 -> http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/downloads/storage_manager/sm/productid=sas-5805&dn=adaptec+raid+5805.ht...) and the latest aacraid driver vom VMWare (aacraid-1.0.1-810064 -> https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXi50-PMC-Sierra-aacraid-52129800&produ...)
When i rebootet the host i could read it out by remote arcconf, but i am seeing this in my logs now:

Has anybody of you experienced this before? What is the problem here?
Or is it the fact that the default accraid driver is for ESXi5.1U1 (VMware_bootbank_scsi-aacraid_1.1.5.1-9vmw.510.0.0.799733.vib) and the latest downloaded one is for ESXi5.0 (vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-500.5.2.1.29800.-1.0.5.472560.x86_64.vib)?
Cheers
