That looks like an HP smart array driver issue. Check wich driver is installed:

esxcli software vib list | grep -i scsi-hpsa

You will most likely need to update the VIB to the latest from HP.

Hi,

This is a known problem with the hpsa controller Driver. HP should be aware of this problem since this PSOD is been around for quite sometime now contact HP and they should be able to provide you with the correct driver version.

After the Reboot of the Host your shell might be disabled., you may need to enable it.
