I'm using M5016 (aka LSI-9266/9271) but it might be similar as for M5015 (LSI-9260):

I updated bios/driver/smis/storcli all to the latest version, and after restarting ESXi the whole "Storage" section dissapeared from vSphere Client -> Configuration -> Health Status. But despite of that, "storcli /c0 show all" still could retrieve complete info about controller, arrays and disks.

Then I downgraded smis-provider from:

VMW-ESX-5.x.0-lsiprovider-500.04.V0.55-0006-2619867.zip

one version back to:

VMW-ESX-5.x.0-lsiprovider-500.04.V0.54-0004-2395881.zip

I restarted ESXi, and Storage health status was back again, with complete information (arrays, disks, battery, etc)! So I suppose there is some problem with the latest lsi smis-provider. Try to use older smis-provider and see if it works for you...
