I thought I posted this a while back but can't find the thread.. apologies if duplicated.
I'm running ESXi 5.5 with 2 Dell PERC H310 HBA's. I have 3 Virtual Devices, 2 RAID 1 and 1 RAID 10 presented as VMFS datastores.
How does everyone monitor their disk drive health? I installed the VMware megaraid driver VIB on my ESXi server and still don't see "storage" in the hardware tab of the vSphere client.
I need to be able to see the health data and them put some alerting in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
example after installing megaraid - still no smart data:
