HP DL380 Gen9 wont see my P822 in Smart Array

[Jordanl91]

I have a DL380 with a HP P822 in PCIE Slot 1, I have installed the latest SPP, downloaded and applied the latest VIB for ESXi 6.7.0 but cant seem to see the card after running `./opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli controller all show config` will output:

Error: No controllers detected. Possible causes:
- The driver for the installed controller(s) is not loaded.
- On LINUX, the scsi_generic (sg) driver module is not loaded.
See the README file for more details.

  Im trying to force it in HBA mode. After upgrading everything to the latest version I can no longer see the card in the Smart Administrator Embedded App. It is connected to the backplane in the DL and 2 E Ports connect into a Lenovo SA120, then I have a single SAS into port 1 of the mobo. Anyone know what I can do to get this to work properly?

Hello, 

P822 Smart Array controller is not listed as supported controller for DL380 Gen9 .
Refer Page 7: https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=c04346247

Moreover I didnot see any supported controller driver/firmware for ESXi 6.7.0 as well.

Could you recommend a Smart array with External SAS ports that is Compatible?
