Hello. I've got a few questions relating to warnings I'm getting in my Configuration Assist.
1.) Controller disk group mode: I was hoping to use a SuperMicro SMC3108 controller for my hybrid array. This controller is certified for all flash, but not hybrid... will this be supported? (VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search)
2.) I need to do a driver update for an Intel P3700 PCIe NVMe. I would like to use the new the update software button, but it's greyed out. Is it because this is an Intel device and not specifically Dell/HP/etc that the update software option is greyed out? (VMware Compatibility Guide - ssd)
3.) Controller firmware (see below screenshot)
a.) I've got an Avago 3008 onboard controller that I'm running RAID1 SSDs for my ESXi install, current firmware shows NA, and unknown if firmware is certified; so while I'm not using it for VSAN, it is on the HCL (VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search) how come it's not being picked up?
b.) My Intel P3700 PCIe NVMe (see point 2 for HCL entry) is showing a warning for having firmware 8DV10171, and recommending 8DV1CP01, but the one I'm running is on the HCL, and the one it's recommending is not... any thoughts as to why?
Any help / guidance is muchly appreciated. Thanks!
