Query: hpe simplivity hci I don't see datastore of disk

[semaphore]

After deploying 3 node hpe simplivity hci I don't see datastore of disk pools to be shared, each machine has 9 disks. Usually after deploy HCI all 3 disk volumes are visible and vcenter doesn't see HPE device raid. Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 But seeing only the HPE Smart Array E208i-p SR Gen10, I wonder why.

Hi

VMware sees only the system disks (local) controller E208i

the disks connected to the P816i smart controller are controlled 

by the Simplivity software and the ESXI server does not see the directly.

to see a Simplivity disk you need to create a datastore from the plug-in.
