Hello folks,
Hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. I'm trying to connect a few HGST HC520 12TB SAS drives to an existing ESXi host.
The connection is via an on-board LSI2308 SAS controller chip.
Once connected and booted, the drive seems to spin up. It is seen by the LSI2308 (and can be queried in the 2308 ROM boot-stage setup utility), but once ESXi boots up it does not see it. No such device in /dev/disks or anywhere.
All other drives connected to same controller: 5x 4TB SATA drives and one 300GB SAS drive, are seen and used perfectly well, no issue.
So, just to make sure: Is there a size limit on HDDs supported by ESXi 6.5.0 (build 5310538)? Should the above setup work?
Thanks for any input!
