Adaptec 2410sa Disk Failure Support

I have an Adaptec 2410sa controller in my Quad Core Server running ESXi3.5. My ESX server is running fine however as it's essentially a desktop case with internal SATA disks I have no visability of any disk failing through the VI Client.

Does anyone know of a way for me to get visabillity of my disks through the VI Client. I can see the Storage Controller and everything else without issue.

Many Thanks

Matthew

It looks like I might have answered my own question, I can only find the 2405/3405 SATA controllers on the HWCL. I'm guessing the 2410 is using the same driver but obviously some functionality is missing, Can anyone confirm this or can you get visabilty of the disks on the 2410sa?

Or should I be able to get access using the Adaptec Storage Manager through a Virtual Server?

ESXi does not have the required CIM providers for monitoring the adaptec hardware. Check with Adaptec.
