Hello,
I am sucessfuly start ESXI 7.0 with Intel RMSP3AD160F hardware RAID controller.
Esxi installed on RAID1 (2 Intel 2Tb NVMe SSD in mirror)
I have a problem when install additional RAID1 volume (two 4Tb NVMe SSD WD Ultrastar DC SN640 WUS4BB038D7P3E1)
Volume created sucessfuly, I see storage path in esxcli storage core path list output, but datastore not mounted.
How I can mount new volume in esxi?
Thank you!

Thank you, but rescan did not solve the problem.
Now I solve this problem!
I delete VD via storcli, connect drives to Linux desktop via u.2 -> PCIe adapter and reformat SSD to 512e physical sector!
On Linux desktop ---
# physical sector configuration list
nvme id-ns -H /dev/nvmeXnY
# Reformat
nvme format --lbaf=<number> /dev/nvmeXnY
Then connect to server and create VD
/opt/lsi/storcli/storcli /c0 add vd type=raid1 drives=74:26-27 names=4tb wt
/opt/lsi/storcli/storcli /c0 /v1 start init full
UPD - when I check adapter -> path
I see this volume, but I can't see them via Adapter - >Devices
Problematic volume has 4k disk sector size.
Hey, hope you are doing fine:
Have you tried a rescan of the storage?
