esxi7 does not recognize my Perc H310

[nielsteekens]

Hi,

During fresh installation of ESXi7, it complains about incompatible hardware with number 1000:0073 1028:1f51

I can complete the install.

The incompatible device it complains about, is the Perc H310 embedded RAID controller, which is on the compatibility list with the exact same number.

VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search

The driver is loaded:

lsi-mr3 Broadcom Native MegaRAID SAS driver for vmkernel 7.712.50.00-1vmw.700.1.0.15843807 VMW Tuesday, April 07, 2020, 17:20:48 +0200

Commands esxcli storage core adapter list and esxcli storage nmp device list do not list the adapter.

Any suggestions are very much appreciated

Niels

@robwolf100 : We have same hardware - was wondering if you got any confirmation/way forward for running vSphere ESXi 7 as a supported working configuration? 

On the VMWare compatibility guide it says that minimum firmware version for running vSphere 7u3 is 25.5.5.005 based on it being a Dell Inc. Perc H730 Mini

Ours is Broadcom Perc...with different vendor id, etc. Using the serial Tag for the server on the Dell download site it said that only 25.2.1.0037 was available.
