PowerEdge 2900 w/ Perc6i @ESXI 5.1

I have a PowerEdge 2900 running ESXI 5.1 and I have tried setting up the system to be able to monitor HDD health status in the array to prevent catastrophic failure of my array. I have tried using a write-up on the LSI vib file install and i have tried open-manage offline bundle. Neither method i could get to function where it would give me array data and individual drive health. Is there any insight on how others have gotten this to work so that I can implement this with our system? Thank you

Here are my references from previous attempts:
