Hi RossChandlerJoe, Are you a FAN of <Friends>? What a good nickname...... Let's get back to the subject, my Windows LSA talks to the LSIProvider well, and you may refer to the attached screenshot for details. 9364-8i actually is similar to 9361-8i very much. To my experience, only 3 stuffs are necessary, i.e.: SMIS/CIM Provider, Driver & LSA. And here is the CIM Provider that I'm using, and I think this the most important one: SMIS Providers MR 7.13 Version:00.77.00.04 If you are sure that everything is good with you ESXi server, maybe you should double-check your Windows firewall settings carefully to see if any rule that may fail the LSA communications went wrong.

Good day @Bitsky, Just came across this by chances in searching for something else. What brought to my attention is the symptom you met, i.e., the SR-IOV column always indicates “Enabled / Needs reboot” no matter how many times you reboot the server. Although I’m not quite sure if my workaround may work for your case, I think you should give it a try still. You may try to set “VMkernel.Boot.disableACSCheck = true” and then reboot. This argument can be found at “Manage -> System -> Advanced settings” after you login to the WebUI. FYI, this worked for my X710-AT2 with ESXi 6.7U3.

Hi there, I'm planning to purchase a M/B integrates with the NIC X550-AT2, however, according to the Compatibility Guide, only X550-T1/T2 is listed. And this fact prevents me from doing that. And that's why I now raise this question here and ask for a guiding hand.   BTW, to my knowledge, X550-AT2 is the controller chip, and X550-T1/T2 is the riser card with the same controller chip ??? If that is true, X550-AT2 then should be supported by ESXi because X550-T2 is supported?? Please correct me if I was wrong. Thank you.

Good news! I eventually managed to modify the locked file. You may follow these steps to see if they would work for you too:   1. cp providerTraceLog.properties ABC ; 2. vi ABC ; And insert the line; 3. :wq (then I succeeded); 4. cp -f ABC providerTraceLog.properties;   Hope this helps! ------- Edit ------- Although the aforesaid method is able to modify that locked file for me, But, that won't persist across a reboot.....

Hi, xinhongyi, Thanks for your advise. My ESXi 6.7U3 has the same problem, and I didn't know how to solve it. However, I encountered a problem during the modification of the file 'providerTraceLog.properties'. Here are my attempts: 1. Stopped the service sfcbd-watchdog, and put my ESXi into maintenance mode; 2. Started the SSH service, and log-in with Windows Terminal as root; 3. cp providerTraceLog.properties providerTraceLog.properties.bak; 4. vi providerTraceLog.properties, and tried to insert a line 'LSA=true'; 5. :wq ...... (This is where the problem exists.)   I was kept on advised that 'Operation not permitted', I even tried 'chmod 777' and failed too. So, could you please advise me how you successfully modified that file?? Thank you.
Hi freeloader3, Mine is: Version:007.010.007.000, for Win x86 and x64. And the latest/current version is 007.011.006.000. LSA has several option during installation, and I chose 'Gateway....'.... See more...
Hi freeloader3, Mine is: Version:007.010.007.000, for Win x86 and x64. And the latest/current version is 007.011.006.000. LSA has several option during installation, and I chose 'Gateway....'. Once done, double-click the LSA icon on your Win-Desktop, and your browser will open a new tab to launch the service. Then input the right IP to discover your ESXi host and it will show up if all is in order. Use your ESXi host's username/password to login. Please make sure the IP addresses of both of your ESXi host and Windows Workstation are in the same IP segment, e.g., 192.168.1.0/24. If there is a need, you may add an line in your Windows 'hosts' file(C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\): YourESXiHostName     192.168.1.x

Hi karl3, To my experience, for those legacy products like my 9260-8i, you may NOT be able to see any Controller/HDD info via the WebUI (refer to my screenshot). BUT, you may alternatively use LSA(LSI Storage Authority) instead, the substiution of MSM, to remotely manage/monitor your RAID controller, provided your ESXi server is 6.7 Update3(or above). This is so far I can do after many attempts to try to make it work were all failed. Hope VMware will resolve this problem at the next release/patch.

The storage monitor of the WebUI of my 6.7 U3 server doesn't work still, but the LSA works pretty fine with U3. And I really don't know what wrong it is after many attempts to try to update both of the driver & SMIS provider were all failed. I even had my 6.7U3 re-installed. FYI, mine is MegaRAID 9260-8i.
