Conflicting VIB when upgrading to 6.5 -- Safe to remove this?

$

0

This is a Dell PowerEdge M630, using ESXi downloads provided by dell for this server and the hardware is compatible with ESXi 6.7

 

I upgraded from ESXi 5.5 to 6.0 with no issues.   6.0 to 6.5 threw this:

which appears to be regarding the LSI SCSI driver.

 

While SSH'd into the host:

 

[root@HOST:~] esxcli software vib list | grep LSI

scsi-megaraid-perc9            6.901.57.00-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820       LSI       VMwareCertified   2019-10-14

scsi-mpt3sas                   04.00.00.00.1vmw-1OEM.500.0.0.472560   LSI       VMwareCertified   2019-10-14

 

 

Here is an attempt to see what drivers are in use:

[root@HOST:~] esxcfg-scsidevs -a

vmhba38 ahci              link-n/a  sata.vmhba38                            (0000:00:1f.2) Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller

vmhba39 ahci              link-n/a  sata.vmhba39                            (0000:00:1f.2) Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller

vmhba0  lsi_mr3           link-n/a  sas.544a842031c5c000                    (0000:02:00.0) LSI / Symbios Logic PERC H730 Mini (blade)

vmhba34 ahci              link-n/a  sata.vmhba34                            (0000:00:11.4) Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller

vmhba35 ahci              link-n/a  sata.vmhba35                            (0000:00:11.4) Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller

vmhba36 ahci              link-n/a  sata.vmhba36                            (0000:00:11.4) Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller

vmhba37 ahci              link-n/a  sata.vmhba37                            (0000:00:1f.2) Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller

 

I am not seeing any mpt3sas or scsi-mpt3sas referenced.   Does this mean it would be safe for me to run a:

 

[root@HOST:~]  esxcli software vib remove -f --vibname scsi-mpt3sas

 

Without killing my RAID array?

 

 

I'd like to think so, but I am not expert on this and don't fully know how to interpret the results of "esxcfg-scsidevs -a" to 100% know for sure if the driver/VIB is used or not.

 

Thanks.
