After downloading and installing the appropriate drivers, you will need to disable the old driver and verify the storage adaptor (PERC) is using the correct driver:
Disable the "lsi-mr3" module/drive by executing the following command:# esxcli system module set --enabled=false --module=lsi_mr3
Reboot the system
Verify the storage adapter is using the correct driver by executing the following command:
# esxcli storage core adapter list
You should see your controller utilizing the "megaraid_perc9" driver and NOT the "lsi_mr3" driver.
