Vmware PSOD #DF Exception 8 after upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0

Hello,

I ll start with a description of the current environment:

we have HP Proliant 360 G7, which had vmware ESXi 5.0.1

Storage HP p2000 G3 Firmware less than T251

After we upgraded to ESXi 6.0.0 U2 we had one of the servers crash after 9 hours as shown in the attachment

The Server has the hp_vaaip_p2000 plugin installed and i have installed the Custom image for HP,

I have tried to interpret the error in the screen, checked the logs  the Hp_vaaip_p2000 shows an error at startup but loads successfully afterwards and the advanced settings

HardwareAcceleratedMove=1

HardwareAcceleratedInit=1

HardwareAcceleratedLocking =1

Moreover the Storage shows that hardware acceleration is supported. ( in the vcenter)

The error in psod  mentions the sfcb-smx and I found a message in the logs showing wantcoredump;sfcb-smx signal:6 exitcode:0 coredumb:disabled

also i have found the   ALERT: Jumpstart dependency error: Initialization barrier "vmkeventd" is not provided by any plugin but the following plugins require it: "hp_vaaip_p2000"

sfcb is for monitoring  ( small footprint CIM broker (SFCB))

hp_vaaip_p2000 is for connecting to HP G3 p2000 prior to T251 firmware



is the problem in the in the sfcb-smx or is it in the HP_vaaip_p2000? and what could be solution to avoid further errors  or crashes?


Thank you in advance for your help
