I have the following issue.
I have a Asus P6T with an Intel Core 7 processor. I also have a Perc5i card with a 400 gig 15k Sas drive attached. I also have a sata drive attached to the motherboard.
I have installed ESX 4 and all is working fine except when I go to use the SAS drive.
Initially it could not even import the disk however after flashing to the latest LSI firmware the drive imports okay however when I try to use the disk (eg create vm) it generates the following errors
