SSH run the following commands to install 2 files:Įsxcli software vib install -v /tmp/VMware_bootbank_vmware-esx-esxcli-nvme-plugin_1.2.0.32-922.vibĮsxcli software vib install -v /tmp/VMW_bootbank_nvme_1.2.1. Upload the following files to esxi "/tmp" directory Please note, any future updates or patches to the ESXi host will most likely override the updated driver.ġ. To so do, simply copy nvme.v00 to /bootbank from either an existing ESXi 6.5 Update 2 system or directly from the ISO.

The easy workaround that Pete found was to simply replace the NVMe driver from ESXi 6.7 Update 2 (1.2.2.27-1vmw.670.6603) with one found in ESXi 6.5 Update 2 (1.2.1.34-1vmw.650.253). I think Engineering is looking to see if there are other workarounds for the future, but for now, you can use the workaround below. In general, I know Samsung and Intel NVMe SSD usually works quite well without issues but always good to do some research. This is another good reminder when using components not on VMware HCL, this is always a risk from a home lab perspective. UPDATE (05/23/19)- After speaking with a few folks who took a closer look, the issue is due to the fact that we added support for NVMe 1.3 spec in latest ESXi 6.7 Update 2 release, but because these are "consumer" devices, they did not conform to the latest specification and hence the driver is unable to claim the device. Simply copy nvme.v00 VIB from the ESXi 6.5 Update 2 and replace it on ESXi 7.0 system (either live under /bootbank or part of the installer) but rename the file to nvme_pci.v00 which is the new filename for NVMe driver. UPDATE (06/13/20) - Thanks to reader Dave, it looks like this trick also works with ESXi 7.0 but the filename has changed.

I wanted to share some of the model and/or vendors that folks have reported success with. UPDATE (07/29/20) - Over the past few months, I have had a number of folks share feedback that using the trick mentioned below for ESXi 7.0, they have had success of ESXi detecting their NVMe SSD.

It is unclear whether support for these SSDs were removed intentionally or unintentionally, but in either case, these devices are not officially on VMware's Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). It turns out these Crucial devices were working fine while running on ESXi 6.5 Update 2 but was no longer recognized in latest release of ESXi 6.7 Update 2. This was also quite timely as I recently purchased a Crucial M.2 NVMe SSD and would have also ran into this problem. Thanks to Pete Lindley, (OCTO for End-User Computing), who reached out last week regarding the observation as well as a workaround for the problem. If you own or have recently purchased Crucial NVMe SSD such as CT1000P1SSD8 (1TB M.2 NVMe SSD) or CT500P1SSD8 (500GB M.2 NVMe SSD), please be aware that these devices may no be recognized by ESXi after upgrading to the latest release.
