I can confirm this problem still exists with vSphere 5.0 Update 1 Not a huge surprise since this RAID controller is now 2 generations old.....
What build of vSphere 5.0 are you running? The GA required a manual install of the driver from LSI (3ware) LSI then pulled those drivers from their website and posted: "Note: 3ware drivers... See more...
What build of vSphere 5.0 are you running? The GA required a manual install of the driver from LSI (3ware) LSI then pulled those drivers from their website and posted: "Note: 3ware drivers for ESXi 5.0 are not yet available but are in the process of being developed." If you ran their drivers with the GA of vSPhere 5 you were fine. But if you run the latest patches/updates the RAID controller would no longer be recognized, and you couldn't install the manual driver... Unless a recent VMware patch changed this???

Uggg. I had this working with  ESXi 5.0 on my 3ware 9650. I forgot that this host was the one with the 3ware controller, and ran the updates. the support for the controller dissappeared.  I attempted to reinstall: esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/scsi-3w-9xxx-3.26.08.036-1OEM.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib --no-sig-check -f and got this: Installation Result    Message: Host is not changed.    Reboot Required: false    VIBs Installed:    VIBs Removed:    VIBs Skipped: LSI_bootbank_scsi-3w-9xxx_3.26.08.036-1OEM.500.0.0.406165 Guess I need to re-install the vanilla ESXi 5 and NOT update it..... bleh

Did you ever find a resolution? I was just doing a rebuild of a storage box. 9550 8 lane, (8x750GB). Planning a similar use. Setup Autocarve (3 x 1.6TB) Was going to present them to the HP LeftHand VSA to create an iSCSI virtual SAN... It only sees 1 partition. I had gotten these 3ware cards working before they released a vSphere driver for the 9550, by altering the PCI.ID and adding support to their current drivers, but this time I used the "official" 9550 ESX driver, but the same problem exists...

I'd like to confirm this issue STILL exists. I have a vSphere 4 Update 1 (with post Update 1 patches) Server 2003 x86 running citrix XenApp 5 with the latest hotfix rollups and the latest VMware Tools. moving the mouse around in the vSphere client console makes the mouse jump around in Citrix ICA user sessions... I'm pretty sure we have shared folders disabled in the VMware Tools. I have not opened an incident with VMware yet. Wondering if anyone has any new updates on this issue... Thanks!

I created a document for monitoring VMFS via Nagios/NRPE a while back: www.tdonline.com/training/nagios/monitor-vmfs BTW - the NRPE agent listed there is for ESX 3.5 (x86) You will need to get the x86_64 equivilant for running on vSphere 4 console (x64)

This is my attempt at a guide on how to setup monitoring of ESX VMFS volumes using (Groundwork) Nagios. Assumes you have already installed the NRPE agent on ESX, and you already have a working (GW) Nagios installation. I Appreciate any feedback/suggestions!
think I figured it out... was missing the following from the "append" commandline: vmkopts=debugLogToSerial:1 mem=512M
Still stuck at the Failed to load VMKernel... Can you post your boot "append" command line example? I'm using a modified version of UDA to boot/deploy from.
