Installing CIM Provider VIBs

The 3.5 and 4.1 versions of vSphere included the LSI and HP RAID CIM providers in the default VIB for the ESXi server.
In vSphere 5.0 and later, the LSI and HP provider VIBs are not included in the default VIBs. Therefore, if you are using an LSI or HP RAID controller card on your host with vSphere 5.0 or later, you will need to install an LSI or HP VIB before the associated RAID storage device will show up in your vCenter Server Inventory.
