fresh install of VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0.0.update03-19482537.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A04 to BOSS adapter in DELL R740. Storage is DELL SC3020 with SAS 12G direct connectivity. After first reboot the booting screen hangs on "vmw_satp_alua loaded successfully" and reboot - shutdown process was very slow - "reboot_run_handlersScsiEarly" , BUT i had connected 2 luns to the server visible was only 1. 

i think, that is problem with storage and alua. 

In my case i simply add these commands to ESXi host and after reboot boots in some seconds and i see both LUNs. 

  • esxcli system module parameters set -p issue_scsi_cmd_to_bringup_drive=0 -m lsi_msgpt3
  • esxcli storage nmp satp rule add -s VMW_SATP_ALUA -V COMPELNT -P VMW_PSP_RR -o disable_action_OnRetryErrors -e "Dell EMC SC Series Claim Rule" -O "policy=iops;iops=3"
