ESXi MegaRAID .vib Not Working
Have IBM xSeries Server with an MR10i controller.
Running ESXi 5.0
Wanted to be able to see what was going on with the RAID controller using the MegaRAID storage manager software. We have the MSM installed on a workstation along with the vSphere client.
We downloaded and installed what we thought were the correct .vib files and we made sure the CIMS service was started. When we try to connect...nothing.
Now we know the MSM is working because we have another xSeries that is a physical machine running W2K8 Server and the MSM will discover the RAID controller for that machine over the network.
What are we doing wrong? I am thinking maybe we have the wrong .vib file for the MR10i, but I am not sure.
Any help or direction would be great.
