Yesterday 2 of our ESXi hosts were updated from 6.5 to 6.7 (build 8169922), though after doing this we noticed a few quirks when trying to access the storage hardware monitoring.



In the web UI typically we'd only see elements listed for the Avago/LSI hardware RAID here, with a clear indicator of its overall health, each logical volume's health, and each physical disk's health. Now though all sorts of hardware is showing up that isn't even storage related. (Such as the GPU, Ethernet controllers, and Thunderbolt controllers.)



ESXi 6.7 web UI: Monitor > Hardware > Storage



I've updated the LSI SIMS provider to version 7.6 (30/May/2018), along with MegaCLI utility version 8-07-07, and the storcli utility version 007.0606.0000.0000 (20/Mar/2018). The host has been rebooted after installing each VIB. Looks like the CIM service just doesn't want to know though.



The servers work very fine indeed, VMs are operating as normal. They just lack RAID monitoring and management now, so if an issue happens we just get a buzzer and LED blink, and have to reboot to the LSI WebBIOS to see what it's for to resolve it.



I saw from the VMWare hardware compatibility that our LSI RAID controller models are supported with an official driver so I don't think there is any compatibility issue.



The MegaCLI command is also useless likely because of the same CIM issue. ./MegaCli -adpCount shows Controller Count: 0, which also means that the MegaRAID Storage Manager utility no longer detects ESXi hosts for management too.



--



Finally with the storcli only some parts of it work. This is probably a separate issue though. (Bug in the tool?) It seems if you are specifying command arguments that contain a forward slash '/' it is ignored.



For example, "storcli show" works:



[root@nexus:/opt/lsi/storcli] ./storcli show
CLI Version = 007.0606.0000.0000 Mar 20, 2018

You should use



./storcli /c0 show


(O = number of the controler, you see it in your first command ./storcli show -> Ctl 0)



If you want to see every controller you can use :



./storcli /call show


If you want to see every virtual drive you can use :



./storcli /call/eall show


If you want to see every physical drive you can use :



./storcli /call/eall/sall show


Or you can use :



./storcli /call show all 


for every informations of all controllers.



In your case you have 1 controller, so you can use



./storcli /c0 show all


For alarm status/control you can use :



./storcli /c0 show alarm   (show alarm status)

./storcli /c0 set alarm=silence (mute buzer alarm)

./storcli /c0 set alarm=off (shutdown alarm)

  • Yes same issue here with a 9260-8i on ESXi 6.7. I use a script for check the raid status with nagios but you can use directly on a linux machine with an ssh acces to the ESXi.

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

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

    You should use



    ./storcli /c0 show


    (O = number of the controler, you see it in your first command ./storcli show -> Ctl 0)



    If you want to see every controller you can use :



    ./storcli /call show


    If you want to see every virtual drive you can use :



    ./storcli /call/eall show


    If you want to see every physical drive you can use :



    ./storcli /call/eall/sall show


    Or you can use :



    ./storcli /call show all 


    for every informations of all controllers.



    In your case you have 1 controller, so you can use



    ./storcli /c0 show all


    For alarm status/control you can use :



    ./storcli /c0 show alarm   (show alarm status)

    ./storcli /c0 set alarm=silence (mute buzer alarm)

    ./storcli /c0 set alarm=off (shutdown alarm)

        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

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

        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):
