Hi,
which controller type/model are you running?
First of all both the CIM provider (lsiprovider...vib) and the driver (scsi-megaraid-sas...vib) have to be installed on the server having the LSI controller built-in.
The Megaraid Storage Manager (MSM) connects to the CIM provider for health data/configuration of the controller.
On the control server/workstatiobn with MSM installed the ESXi hostname should be resolveable by DNS. You may try to add the hostname/IP to the Windows hosts file found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
After starting MSM on the control PC goto "Configure Host" and select "Display all the ESXi-CIMOM servers in the network of local server" and "Save Settings" afterwards. Then it should find the CIM provider installed on ESXi.
I've got a nice tutorial on that but unfortunately this is in german, but you may probably follow the screenshots in there: MegaRAID Storage Manager für VMware ESXi 5.5 Server – Thomas-Krenn-Wiki
Maybe this is of any help, too: Manage an LSI MegaRAID card in ESXi host remotely with MSM | Kihltech
