Cause
The VxRail server uses a newer driver and firmware for the H330mini adapter. The HCL file in vCenter contains all hardware information including drivers and firmware except the new H330's info (driver and firmware).VMware vCenter HCL file didn't contain the new H330mini driver and firmware when the vCetner version is 6.5u3 (6.5.0-14020092), that made the warning "vSAN hardware compatibility issues" reported about "Controller driver is VMware certified" item in VC after upgrading to VxRail 4.5.400
Resolution
Workaround:
Temporary solution
Click "Retest" button in "Cluster" -> "Monitor" -> "vSAN" -> "Health" page, the warning doesn't disappear.Or ignore this error messga due to no impact.
Permanent solution
It will be resolved after VMware update HCL file in vCetner, VMware will update the new driver and firmware info to HCL list shortly.
