mpt2sas messages in /var/log/vmkernel.log?

[Titans99]

Hi I just noticed all four of my HP DL380 G8 ESXi 5 hosts are showing tons of these messages in the /var/log/vmkernel log.  All LUN's seems to be showing/working fine, but wondering what the messages mean?  The hosts are connected to a HP P2000 G3 via direct SAS controllers.  Any ideas?  Thank you

The issue is due inbox mpt2sas driver on ESXi 5.1/5.0 , apply patch to get rid of this message.

Check below KB

Thanks for the reply.  Update 1 is already installed on 2 of the 4 hosts, but all are still logging the message.  I guess I can try opening a ticket with VMware, if there are no other suggestions.  Thank you.

When doing a "vmkload_mod -s mpt2sas", it shows that I'm running driver version:

mpt2sas version 13.10.02.00.1vmw        MPTFW-13.10.83.00

According to the HCL for the H221, that is the latest version.  BUT both of the driver links below show the LSI Model: SAS9207-8e which from what I can tell is the base equivalent of the HP H221. I see much newer driver versions for the link that doesn't show "(H221)" in the Model name (the first link).  Anyone know if the mpt2sas version 16.00.00.00.1vmw is compatible with the HP/LSI H221 HBA?

For others that may have this issue, evidently the errors were cosmetic and were resolved by installing the latest "HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi 5.x"
