So I do have ESXi on one of the blade servers. Curiously "lspci -nn" output is very different. I for example don't see two RAID controllers but one: ... 00:10.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI [1000:0030] (rev 01) ... Also, lsmod returns the following: [root@storpro ~]# lsmod Module Size Used by nfsd 304902 13 lockd 73534 1 nfsd nfs_acl 2647 1 nfsd auth_rpcgss 44917 1 nfsd autofs4 26449 3 sunrpc 261235 19 nfsd,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss ipv6 321582 68 xfs 1088447 2 exportfs 4236 2 nfsd,xfs ppdev 8537 0 parport_pc 22690 0 parport 36209 2 p[root@storpro ~]# lsmod Module Size Used by nfsd 304902 13 lockd 73534 1 nfsd nfs_acl 2647 1 nfsd auth_rpcgss 44917 1 nfsd autofs4 26449 3 sunrpc 261235 19 nfsd,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss ipv6 321582 68 xfs 1088447 2 exportfs 4236 2 nfsd,xfs ppdev 8537 0 parport_pc 22690 0 parport 36209 2 ppdev,parport_pc e1000 170678 0 microcode 112653 0 vmware_balloon 7199 0 sg 29350 0 i2c_piix4 12608 0 i2c_core 31084 1 i2c_piix4 shpchp 32778 0 ext4 363344 2 jbd2 91554 1 ext4 mbcache 8193 1 ext4 sd_mod 38976 7 crc_t10dif 1541 1 sd_mod sr_mod 15177 0 cdrom 39085 1 sr_mod mptspi 16603 4 mptscsih 36700 1 mptspi mptbase 93647 2 mptspi,mptscsih scsi_transport_spi 25863 1 mptspi pata_acpi 3701 0 ata_generic 3837 0 ata_piix 24121 0 dm_mirror 14133 0 dm_region_hash 12085 1 dm_mirror dm_log 9930 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash dm_mod 82839 8 dm_mirror,dm_log pdev,parport_pc e1000 170678 0 microcode 112653 0 vmware_balloon 7199 0 sg 29350 0 i2c_piix4 12608 0 i2c_core 31084 1 i2c_piix4 shpchp 32778 0 ext4 363344 2 jbd2 91554 1 ext4 mbcache 8193 1 ext4 sd_mod 38976 7 crc_t10dif 1541 1 sd_mod sr_mod 15177 0 cdrom 39085 1 sr_mod mptspi 16603 4 mptscsih 36700 1 mptspi mptbase 93647 2 mptspi,mptscsih scsi_transport_spi 25863 1 mptspi pata_acpi 3701 0 ata_generic 3837 0 ata_piix 24121 0 dm_mirror 14133 0 dm_region_hash 12085 1 dm_mirror dm_log 9930 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash dm_mod 82839 8 dm_mirror,dm_log [root@storpro ~]# modinfo mptspi filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.ko version: 3.04.20 license: GPL description: Fusion MPT SPI Host driver author: LSI Corporation srcversion: BFB86D57259351D6A601FFB alias: pci:v00001000d00000040sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v0000117Cd00000030sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000030sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: mptscsih,scsi_transport_spi,mptbase vermagic: 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions parm: mpt_saf_te: Force enabling SEP Processor: enable=1 (default=MPTSCSIH_SAF_TE=0) (int) -- Istvan Hubay Cebrian http://icebrian.net On 3 March 2014 15:33, Emmanuel Florac <eflorac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Le Mon, 3 Mar 2014 15:22:13 +0000 > Istvan Hubay Cebrian <istvan.cebrian@xxxxxxxxx> écrivait: > >> I can't however see the Shared storage provided by the VRTX Enclosure. >> I would assume one controller is for the internal storage of the M520 >> Blade and the other controller for the Shared storage. > > Yes, that's probably the case.
