I installed an HBA and connected 4 new SSDs. Using "esxcli storage core path list", all of the SSDs are listed, but only the first SSD gets a complete UID.
SSD1 looks like this:
UID: sas.51866da0bde5a100-sas.4433221100000000-mpx.vmhba5:C0.T1:L0
Device: mpx.vmhba5:C0.T1:L0
Device Display Name: Local ATA Disk (mpx.vmhba5:C0.T1:L0)
The other SSDs on the HBA look like this:
UID: sas.51866da0bde5a100-sas.443322110#000000- (the # varies for each SSD)
Device: No associated device
Device Display Name: No associated device
All of the SSDs work normally if only 1 is connected at a time. So if I remove SSDs1-3 then SSD4 works fine. I replaced the SSDs with some old HDDs, and ESXi reported all of the HDDs just fine. Why would ESXi not work with the SSDs?
