Ho preso un server EG HYBRID con raid HARDWARE.
I dischi SSD non vengono riconosciuti da VMWare come SSD.

Ecco come fare:

- andate nelle configurazioni, storage adapters
- selezionate il vmhba relativo al controller RAID
- prendete nota del runtime name del RAID SSD (es: vmhba2:C1:T2:L0)
- entrare nella shell del server esx

esxcli storage nmp device list

naa.600508e00000000056420c9b9438b703
   Device Display Name: LSILOGIC Serial Attached SCSI Disk (naa.600508e00000000056420c9b9438b703)
   Storage Array Type: VMW_SATP_LOCAL
   Storage Array Type Device Config: SATP VMW_SATP_LOCAL does not support device configuration.
   Path Selection Policy: VMW_PSP_FIXED
   Path Selection Policy Device Config: {preferred=vmhba2:C1:T2:L0;current=vmhba2:C1:T2:L0}
   Path Selection Policy Device Custom Config: 
   Working Paths: vmhba2:C1:T2:L0

naa.600508e000000000a6224f08e4d8f506
   Device Display Name: LSILOGIC Serial Attached SCSI Disk (naa.600508e000000000a6224f08e4d8f506)
   Storage Array Type: VMW_SATP_LOCAL
   Storage Array Type Device Config: SATP VMW_SATP_LOCAL does not support device configuration.
   Path Selection Policy: VMW_PSP_FIXED
   Path Selection Policy Device Config: {preferred=vmhba2:C1:T0:L0;current=vmhba2:C1:T0:L0}
   Path Selection Policy Device Custom Config: 
   Working Paths: vmhba2:C1:T0:L0

- prendere nota del codice che inizia con naa. relativo al datastore SSD (lo identificate con il Working Paths): es naa.600508e00000000056420c9b9438b703
- ora eseguite:

esxcli storage nmp satp rule add -d "naa.VOSTROCODICE" -s "VMW_SATP_LOCAL" -o "enable_ssd"
esxcli storage core claimrule load
esxcli storage core claimrule run

Per sicurezza, riavviate il server ESX.

A questo punto i dischi vengono visti come SSD e potete utilizzarli come cache di VMWare.
