Hi,

I guess you already checked for BIOS/firmware updates for that Intel board? Anyway I could not find exactly that model on VMWare's HCL, only the S2600CWT is listed as being compatible up to VMWare 5.5 U2: VMware Compatibility Guide: System Search

The onboard LSI SAS3008 should be generally working with the driver provided by VMWare (lsi_msgpt3 ...) but you may check if you have exactly that version (06.255.12.00-7vmw) running as listed in HCL: VMware Compatibility Guide: I/O Device Search

Also check if the Samsung SSDs are all on the same firmware level.

For the management of the LSI onboard controller from inside VMWare there might be little to no hope that LSI's CIM provider together with MegaRAID Storage Manager might work. But those are not officially available from LSI for VMWare 6, yet. I would stick with BIOS control for now.
