We are getting this error message while checking the ESXI compatibility via https://learnvmware.online/2018/06/19/esxi-compatibility-checker/
[Warning] May Not Be Compatible: IO Device 'NVMe SSD Controller 172Xa (PCIID:144D:A822:144D:A812)' may not be compatible for ESX 6.5.0
- Failed to find IO Device 'NVMe SSD Controller 172Xa (PCIID:144D:A822:144D:A812)'
please visit VMware Compatibility Guide for more information
How can we fix this issue? Is this related to H/w or VMmware software issue?
Then yes, you can ignore the warning.
In the future, please don't double post. It's probably throwing that message because your card is presenting a different SSID than what the HCL has in its database. Make sure you have the proper level of firmware and ESXi driver.
It shows correct firmware version.
