Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Reference Manual – Virtual SAN
Checking storage controller/adapter driver and firmware
Although the P410i is not support with Virtual SAN, it is worth continuing on with
the walk-though to check out the rest of the configuration. If the controller used in
the configuration had been validated against the VCG, and shows up supported, the
next step is to check if the driver version is supported.
In the VCG, click on the adapter model which in this example is the HP Smart Array
420i (since the 410i is not on the VCG). Navigate to the screen that lists the driver
versions. Using the vmkload_mod –s command earlier, the driver version of the
hpsa on the setup is 5.5.0.74-1OEM. This is an async driver from the vSphere
5.5U2 HP ISO image.
The version of the hpsa driver (5.5.0.74-OEM) on the hosts is unsupported. The only
supported driver versions, both inbox and async, do not include this version of the
driver.
In this sample walk-through configuration, both the controller (410i) and driver
(5.5.0.74-OEM) are unsupported for use with Virtual SAN. Neither should be used
with Virtual SAN.
