I've tired both a Dell T7920 Rack and Dell T7920 tower and trying to get ESXI 8 to see a Samsung PM1733 15.36TB drive and Kioxia CM6 (I have 8x in total) as a device, to build a datastore. The BIOS CAN SEE the NVME drives (I've attached it via cheap amazon NVME/PCIE adapter, HBA card, and even a PCIE to M.2 to PCIE /NVME cable that came with my Intel Optane P4800X.) I ruled out the adapters also by having ESXI 8 can see 4x Intel P4800X using the same adapters so I know they work.
PN: MZWLJ15THALA-00007 (6x)
PN: KCM6XRUL15T3 (2x)
I did a test install of ESXI 6.5 to try a lower NVME driver but also no luck.
Also, I've also run a Windows 11 install on the hardware (no ESXI) and windows see the PM1733/CM6 without any issues. The drives test fine only PCIE Gen 3 speeds but works great in Windows 11.
Ideas of maybe firmware? (I don't even know where to find the newest) as Samsung magician didn't have it. Suggestions?
