Here is a short list of SATA controleres that will work with ESX 3.01
- LSI MegaRAID 150-4
- LSI MegaRAID 150-6
- Intel SRCS16
- Adaptec 2610SA
- Adaptec 2410SA
For more info take a look at VMwares system guide.

Warn folks that until the Adaptec 2410SA has completed creating the RAIDset, the disk is not presented to the system. Once the process (took about 14 hours for my RAID10 with 4x500GB SATA disks yielding ~TB), all worked as desired.
I’m trying to install 3.0.1 on a LSI MegaRaid 150-4 but it keeps asking me for a driver. The controller is recognized as a Megaraid2 during the installation. HDD Samsung 750Gb in raid1. Firmware controller is G119 / 713N. Installation of 2.5.2 succeeds on this configuration.
Any suggestions?
Kind regards
Have you tried installing on ESX 3.02 or 3.5 ?
