solved! I had to disable the supermicro "SCU Controller" in the mainboard bios. Now the error has disappeared. Let's hope, that this measure healed the hangups, too...

Board: Supermicro X9SRi CPU: Intel E5-2650v2 LSI SAS 9271-8i   (tried Adaptec before, had the same error) ESXi 5.5.0 Up 1 HELP, can't get rid of this error (see Screen attached). Sometimes the host hangs up, so i must reboot. The error and hangup even occurs when no vm is running... Is there some BIOS setting i must adjust? or some special configuration for this board? I'm out of ideas
Now i'm prepared Many thanks for your help, Jerry. (If ever our pathes cross, i'll get you a huge beer)

Thanks. Jarry, so now i've finally bought an LSI 9271-8i with a Cache Protection. Gonna install it the next days... Maybe one last question about "... and updated manually (eith esxcli) the same way you can apply ..." . Well, i really didn't know that it's possible to update drivers, i thought this is something like a kernel-included-thing so, when i enter the esxi with putty, i can just replace the driver file (in which directory) and eveything is still working fine? I did never apply any patch, before. Just used the SSH to copy and move VMs around. Excuse my (maybe stupid) request - i'm just afraid of killing the machine and have two more days extra work..
Thanx, Jarry, so i consider to buy the LSI 9271-8i What do you mean with "I had to install newer drivers"? How did you manage this with the Standard (free) ESXi version?
Thanx. Of course i know the HCL, but i've experienced trouble with "compatible" hardware. In my case, an adaptec 6805 was not recognized and is still causing errors. Therefore, i would rather re... See more...
Thanx. Of course i know the HCL, but i've experienced trouble with "compatible" hardware. In my case, an adaptec 6805 was not recognized and is still causing errors. Therefore, i would rather rely on users with positive experiences than on the HCL..
Hi, does the 9271-8i work with the free(!) version of ESXi 5.5 ??? I also need to replace the 6805 due to the same trouble...

Hi, i'm running a ESXi 5.5 free on a Supermicro X9DR3-F with an Adaptec RAID 6805. The Controller was not(!) supported/recognizes by the standard Installation CD, so i had to create an ISO with an "offline-bundle" and powerCLI. From time to time, the host crashes (freeze) and some aacraid-errors appear in the logfile (F12), so i'm now considering to switch to a better RAID controller. Unfortunately, the Compatibility-Guide of vmware said this 6805 Controller would be "inbox", means compatible with 5.5. But they were obviously wrong. Therefore my question: Does anyone have a recommendation for a good RAID Controller, (8 port for SATA-600 needed) which is absolutely compatible with the ESXi 5.5. free standard installation, which works stable and does not require any "ISO tricks" to install ?? thanks, Michael
