Hi All,
Does anyone know what steps should I do to present my 1 TB Hard Disk using my eSATA connector casing to the HP DL 360 G7 server ?
I have installed the PCI Express eSATA card successfully on the server as can be seen from the below vSphere console screenshot:
but for some reason unknown, I cannot see the 1 TB hard drive after multiple Rescan, it just the same blank or nothing to present to ESXi.
here's what the HP server BIOS can see:
when I attach the eSATA connection to my Toshiba laptop, it went fine, I can transfer the data and format the drive in the eSATA casing.
Hi,
unfortunately your controller (Host Controllers, SiI3531, SiI3132, SiI3124, SiI3114) isn't supported ...
VMware KB: Devices deprecated and unsupported in ESXi 5.5
VMware Compatibility Guide: I/O Device Search
some people on the community was able to get this working with 5.1GA release (ESXi 5.1.0 GA, 2012-09-10,799733):

so it seems that only way is to go back to 5.1GA release ...
