Hi,
I have an ESXi 5.0 host connected to multiple storage arrays, When I provision devices from the Storage arrays to ESXi host, some of the devices are recoganized as SSD and some as non-SSD, I want all the devices to be recoganized as non-SSD and I am also aware about the workaround provided by Vmware to claim the devices as non-SSD.
My question here is, how does the Esxi 5.0 host get the driver type information from the storage array ? I believe it uses SCSI inquiry command to get these informations, if so does it detects if the device is SSD or non-SSD by using the SCSI Report device identifier command? if not, what method does ESXi 5.0 uses ?
