Did you reboot the host after you installed the SMIS/CIM provider?

If the provider does not start/run for some reason it will not work for sure.

You may try with the commandline tools (MegaCLI, StorCLI) to see if it's running on the host.

Another thing to consider might be, that there is already a CIM provider for LSI cards running, because up to VMWare 5 there was a basic one included with VMWare. That might be interfering with the newer version you tried to install, see this discussion: Monitor LSI Raid / Show available CIM providers

To disable a CIM provider refer to: VMware KB: Disabling an ESXi CIM provider when it fails or is unstable
