Sometimes the hardware can be listed on VMware HCL, there is a driver, but there is no SMIS provider from the hardware manufacturer.

Sharing is caring, right? Today I want to share a solution which will describe How to install SMIS Provider for your LSI/Avago controller card on VMware ESXi. First, I'd like to thanks to one of our readers, Michael from (small IBM business partner), which pointed me to a solution that he found.Ī SMIS provider is basically a management software provided by Avago, allowing to display the hardware status in the VMware client on the ESXi. The hardware I'm using (the LSI SAS 3008) is on VMware HCL but there wasn't any monitoring software available from Avago (or VMware) together with the driver. I haven't particularly paid attention to this when setting up my lab. If you happen to have ESXi running on a hardware with LSI/Avago storage controller/Raid card, you may (or not) have troubles to see the hardware health status.
