  1. Workaround: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=49481.0
  2. That's awesome! Glad I was able to help. I'm still not 100% sure if disabling MSI-X is a big deal. Let me know if you run into any issues... According to the discussion here, this is an ESXi bug and will be fixed in the 6.0p3/5.5p8 release.
  3. Problem: I was having issues where no disks were detected after upgrading to 6.2.0-beta21 from 6.1. When I looked at the unRaid syslog, I saw this: mpt2sas_cm0: failure at drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c:8592/_scsih_probe()! Setup: I'm running unRaid on ESXI 6.0 using the PLOP boot method. I have my hard drives attached to a m1015, which is flashed to LSI9211-8I IT mode (running I think firmware v20). Also the m1015 is setup for passthrough in ESXi to unRaid. Solution: I believe the drives not being detected is due to the firmware version. I did not attempt to downgrade the firmware. After reading posts from others, this is an issue with 6.2 and ESXi passthrough. Not a firmware issue. After much research, I found someone having similar issues with running Ubuntu on ESXI w/ passthrough. The workaround solution was to add mpt3sas.msix_disable=1 option to the syslinux config. See full syslinux config below. Drives are now showing up as normal. Hope this helps someone else Syslinux Configuration: default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append mpt3sas.msix_disable=1 initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest
