Gea, can you tell abit more on the hardware you tested this on. I only get "Failed - A general system error occurred: Error creating disk Function not implemented" when testing this on a LSI controller.What I found is that you can now add a raw physical disk to a VM from the Web-GUI. You only need an SAS HBA (Onboard Sata seems not yet supported). If you add an Sata disk, only its WWN is displayed when adding. SAS disks additionally show a product and size info. There is no need to pass-through the HBA. Smart detection is ok and you can move such a disk without problems to a barebone OmniOS setup and import a ZFS pool there.

Thanks..That workedI used this site and the commands to update my installations to esxi 6.7:

As they keys are compatible, there's no reason you could download the newer bits from the main site.When will it show up on VMUG?
Just SSH to the host and run this?I was just about to post almost the same screenshot now after upgrading!
I just ran the command below and was up and running in no time. Single L5630 on a X8DTL-F
esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard
And any difference between this one and the one above?I used this site and the commands to update my installations to esxi 6.7:

I'm very very new to VMWare I played around with 6.7 on the same MB. About 3 months ago I spent a day playing with it and I may have missed something. But hit a wall with sata AHCI passthrough with 6.7. The Lewisburg SATA AHCI Controller on the x11sph-nctpf is listed as compatable (I've successfully passed this controller through on raw linux and ProxMox). My LSI 3008 passes fine. and SR-IOV works on the X722 nicsI have made my tests with ESXi 6.7 on a SuperMicro X11-nCTF with an onboard LSI 3008
