When deploying new ESXi hosts on HPE ProLiant BL660c Gen9 servers in the HP BLc7000 enclosure, I came across a very strange problem. After installing VMWare ESXi 6.0 on my physical servers and adding them to vSphere, I found out that ESXi didn’t see any HBA adapters (HP FlexFabric 10Gb) to access the storage enclosures in the SAN network. As you can see in the screenshot below, only the adapters to access the local disk controller (Smart Array P244br) and a USB card are available in the Manage -> Storage -> Storage Adapter tab. There are no other HBA controllers (the adapter rescan doesn’t help).
