I have found this KB that seems to reference this error here: Please refer to the log file for more details. VIB SNDK_bootbank_scsi-iomemory-vsl_3.-1OEM.600.203 requires vmkapi_2_3_0_0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile. VIB SNDK_bootbank_scsi-iomemory-vsl_3.-1OEM.600.203 requires -9.2.3.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.
Next I installed to a clean USB stick, leaving my original install separate, and I got this error:Įsxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/scsi-iomemory-vsl-60L-3.-offline_bundle-9738096.zip I’m honestly surprised the driver I have been using has worked as long as it has (scsi-iomemory-vsl-60L-3.-offline_bundle-9738096.zip), but it now appears that these drivers were built with an older vmkapi than is supported in 7.0.Įsxcli software profile update -p ESXi-7.0.0-15843807-standard -d One simple way is just use the VMware Update Manager (VUM) and import the two required files in the repository and then add to a baseline.For any of you that have picked up old Fusion-io devices on ebay to use as fast VMFS datastores, it appears that these are not going to be supported in ESXi 7.0 and beyond. You can verify that the Fusion-IO cards are installed if you can see them in the PCI bus of the host: # lspci grep Fusio 0000:41:00.0 Mass storage controller: Fusion-io ioDrive2 fioiom0 At this point you can add the drivers and the library of the cards. Those can been obtained from the Fusion-IO support site (and you will need to register and account and a product in order to start the download): For VMware ESXi-5.5 the last version is 3.2.6, but there are also drivers also for other hypervisors or just for physical servers. After you have installed the cards in your hosts (really important is use recent hosts with faster PCI-e bus and follow the installation guide for the notes about power management and temperature control) you have to add some drivers. Note that there are also several software layer in order to provide also high level functions, like, but of course you can use the server cards also with other 3rd part software that can manage flash storage like this card or local SSD disks. Thanks to Fusion-IO Italy I’ve got the opportunity to test thee Fusion-io 410GB, the smallest model of this product line (ioScale products use MLC technology and are in these capacities: 410GB, 825GB, 1650GB, 3.2TB), but enough to provide good performance and enable my environment to do some tests (anyway they are the second Generation ioScale Device).
