January 5, 2014 3:31 AM / 2 Comments / XeroX

So how to display health status of a Dell Perc 5/i (LSI 8404E) in ESXi incuding battery and raid status?

Nothing easier than that. Most admins know the Dell Perc 5/i is a LSI 8404E with firmware and bootloader from dell.

Download the latest LSI MegaRAID SMIS Provider for VMWare from here: http://www.lsi.com/search/pages/Results.aspx?k=VMWare%20SMIS&v1=-write

Upload the VIB File to your ESXi and install via commandline.

esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib –no-sig-check

Result should be:

Installation Result
Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.

VIBs Installed: LSI_bootbank_lsiprovider_500.04.V0.38-0005

Simply reboot your ESXi and now you can view the health status on your server.
