Hello,
I have many types of SuperMicro Mainboards in service, some have local disks attached to LSI HBA's (vSAN nodes). I'm not going to list all the MB models as it's not that relevant.
On all systems, without exception, the hardware sensor status does not work at all in vCenter since upgrading to vCenter 6.5 and ESXi 6.5.
Windows vCenter or the appliance both have the same issue.
Two hosts are still on ESXi 6.0 (for reasons I won't go into now) and their hardware statuses are displayed fine in vCenter 6.5. Only the combination ESXi 6.5 with vCenter 6.5 has these issues.
All ESXi 6.5 hosts have working hardware statuses when viewed with their embedded host client WebGUI's. Meaning that the data is retrieved from all motherboards correctly and displayed correctly locally.
Just not in vCenter.
Yes, I have read every blog and KB article I could find.
I can restart daemons and what not all day long, no ESXi 6.5 host has working HW stats in vCenter. We are at vCenter 6.5d at the moment and it is still broken.
