https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-vmware/vmware-error-with-p700m-connected-to-mds600/m-p/4524480#M502 Hi All,<BR /><BR />I am attempting to connect a BL460c G6 running VMware ESX 4, via SAS BL Switches to a MDS600. <BR /><BR />I have zoned the drives (via SAS BL Switches) and the p700m controller BIOS has connected and established a RAID5 set with 7x1TB Drives. <BR /><BR />VMware ESX 4 is seeing the p700m controller but reporting a zero value for the drive capacity.<BR /><BR />Is there anything I need to do to get VMware to recognise the MDS600 drives as presented?<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR /><BR />Dimantha.
