VMWare ESXi emulates an mptsas HBA, but exposes all drives as direct-attached SAS drives. This it not how the driver originally envisioned things; SAS drives were supposed to be connected via an expander, and only SATA drives would be direct attached. As such, any hotplug event for direct-attach SAS drives was silently ignored, and the guest failed to detect new drives from within a VMWare ESXi environment.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
