What's going on with the dell certified esxi servers? This year and last year I have purchased a couple of Dell R310 and Dell R510 servers and they all don’t have storage shown in health status unless I manually goof around and test out a bunch of LSI raid drivers until storage shows up. This is such a waste of time. These dell servers have PERC H710 and PERC 6/i raid controllers.
I tried both of these esxi 5.1 builds and they both don’t contain storage drivers for the health status.
DELL vSphere Hypervisor 5.1
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.1

Why doesn’t vmware include the drivers for these controllers? Or better yet, even the Dell custom build doesn’t include them. If I have to manually dig around to get storage to show up in health status, what’s the easy way instead of demoing a bunch of LSI drivers?
