I'm having 2 similar issues as this person.
1. Posting in VMware forums and getting no responses
2. I have SCSI devices behind a LSI Logic SAS controller that is going the same thing. I'm still picking through it but seems all of my servers have the same issue. 2012 R2, 2016 and 2019.
A driver issue prevent my SQL server from rebooting correctly and it seems to be connected to Windows thinking the drive is portable and treating it differently (?)
