My system has an AMI Megaraid 428 and I would like to get this card working in ESX 3.0.2. It has 3 x 18GB HDD's configured at RAID0 on each individual drive. (3 drives handled by BIOS is displayed on boot. I also have another 3 of these drives plugged into an Adaptec 2940 which works fine.)
I can see the Megaraid in VI client as vmhba1 but can not see any of the drives under it and can not add any. Tried rescan with no luck.
Have done a bit of reading on getting SATA cards working and am hoping I can get this card to work. Here are the contents of some files and commands that hopefully someone might find useful and be able to help:
