Monitoring HP P410 controller on ESX 4 update 1

Hi

I'm using vSphere 4.0 update 1 on HP DL180 G6 server. Server have P410/512MB + BBWC controller for local disk storage.

Controller and RAID works without problem but there is no controller status in Configuration->Health Status->HP Proliant DL180 G6->Storage.

It there any driver which I have to install to see P410 controller in 'Health Status' ?

Before I used ESX on Fujitsu servers where MegaRAID controller and Hard Disks monitoring were present in 'Health Status' without any additional drivers.

Unfortunatly your server is not supported for ESXi.

Here is the solution, its the problem that DL series dont have full iLO support, and that hangs ESXi.

Another 2 nights of sleep for 5 minute of work solution... :)
