Storage Sensor unknown ESXI 6.7U1

[Gysh]

So i have this ESXI 6.7U1 on a lenovo X3650M5 that has a CPU Xeon E3-2660.

According to Stocli the raid is ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA Controller

The problem is that when i go to Monitor - > Hardware> Storage, everything is unknown, which creates issue in our monitoring software.

We rebooted the host, we ran a command call hardware sel clear and we made sure the Watchdog and CIM service is running

Please note that I am using the You are running Lenovo Customized Image ESXi6.7 Update 1 (based on ESXi 6.7 Vmkernel Release Build 10302608)

Thanks

Hi,

You have to upgrade firmware for all compnents installed in the server in corect order. I would start from Bios/UEFI, Management Module and then storage controller.

Match software versions to the server model You have.

Updating those firmware dirrectly on the server? (aka not VIB on the vmware?)

[Gysh]

Installing

• VMware vSphere Native Device Driver for Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID and ServeRAID
• 20180822-vc
• 07 Jan 2019

That is in the ESXI 6.7 section should fix?

Gysh,

read the appropriate Lenovo service manual describing in detail how to check/update firmware of the devices installed in your X3650M5 server. Then You have to match for each device installed (storage controller, NICs, HBAs etc.) the appropriate driver, published as a VIB and install it in ESXi hypervisor.

System x Information

The quickest way to match drivers to flashed/updated devices is to install ESXi from custom, preconfigured by Lenovo ESXi ISO.
