SSD not showing up as local for vfrc

I've got 100G SSD's in my HP BL460g8 servers. These are SAS attached via a p220i controller. I have enterprise+ licensing. They have not been formatted. When I attempt to add capacity to a host in Virt flash resource management I don't see anything.

I've been attempting to beat them into submission using the cli commands here: vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center

After setting the SATP disk option=enable_local it doesn't show up as local

~ # esxcli storage core device list -d naa.600508b1001c3b7559b32be63f27a8ba

Any ideas?

I assume you have tried this but just in case:

esxcli storage nmp satp rule add –satp VMW_SATP_LOCAL –device naa.600508b1001c3b7559b32be63f27a8ba –option “enable_local enable_ssd”

This command also requires a reboot to be active.

Let me know if this does not work.

Thanks,

Ah I see, I wasn't sure you could double up the option commands. When you try to run them one at a time the second one gets an error. I'll try putting them together. Thanks for the reply!

Just ran it and it worked, thanks much!
