Re: vsphere 6.7 LSI raid card, can't get drive status

I was unable to get storcli or MegaCLI to display my H200 (crossflashed to 9211-8i in IR mode) adapter information:

 

    [root@hostname:~] esxcli storage core adapter list | grep mpt

    vmhba2    mpt2sas    link-n/a    sas.xx     (0000:02:00.0) LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA Adapter

   

   

    [root@hostname:~]  /opt/lsi/storcli/storcli /c0 show

    CLI Version = 007.0606.0000.0000 Mar 20, 2018

    Operating system = VMkernel 6.7.0

    Controller = 0

    Status = Failure

    Description = Controller 0 not found

   

    [root@hostname:/opt/lsi/MegaCLI] ./MegaCli -adpCount

   

    Controller Count: 0.

 

I found sas2ircu P20 on the Broadcom website which seems to work (as of 6.7.0 Update 1 Build 11675023):

 

Download location: https://docs.broadcom.com/docs-and-downloads/host-bus-adapters/host-bus-adapters-common-files/sas_sata_6g_p20/SAS2IRCU_P20.zip

 

Extract the vmware-esx-sas2ircu.vib from this file and upload it to your ESXi host. Install it using the following command (change path to match your datastore):

 

    [root@hostname:~] esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/Datastore/vmware-esx-sas2ircu.vib --no-sig-check

   

    Installation Result

       Message: Operation finished successfully.

       Reboot Required: false

       VIBs Installed: LSI_bootbank_vmware-esx-sas2ircu_20.00.00.00-03

       VIBs Removed:

       VIBs Skipped:

 

I was then able to use sas2ircu to display my adapter information:

 

    [root@hostname:~] /opt/lsi/bin/sas2ircu 0 display

This doesn't help with the UI view but I'll grab this information via SSH and monitor my array this way.
