We are attempting to build a new 4-node VSAN hybrid cluster using Intel P3700 SSDs. After getting everything together, the health checks fail saying the driver is not on the HCL, even though we are using the correct driver. Opened an SR, and support is telling me that the problem is actually the firmware on the SSDs. The drives shipped with FW0171, but FW0131 is required. We are trying to get a response from Intel to see if the firmware can be downgraded, but so far, no luck.
As far as I can tell, the Intel P3700 and P3600 are the only 2.5" NVMe drives on the HCL, and unless you have old drives, they can't be used. Has anyone had any experience with this drive in VSAN?
