I had a problem with HP 1.6TB HH/HL Value Endurance (VE) PCIe Workload Accelerator(763836-B21) in a HP DL380P Gen3 server. After installing the latest drivers from the HP website on an ESXi 5.5 U2 host, I got this error:
Error: Fusion-io driver not loaded. Exiting.
Also fio-status command was not working. Same driver error.
Downloaded driver version: VSL3.2.6_ESXi-5.5.zip
Solution:
I contacted HP and got the right driver. This right driver was not available on the website.
