I think it will not only works on Huawei Servers, but generaly it applied on any servers with Avago MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i RAID Card.

Basically you need to enable JBOD mode and then install the driver of Avago MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i RAID Card which can be downloaded on VMWare portal. Install with command:

esxcli software vib install –v /tmp/lsi-mr3-6.912.12.00-1OEM.650.0.0.4240417.x86_64.vib-no-sig-check

Also you need to install storcli driver on Broadcom page. Install with command:

esxcli software vib install –v /tmp/vmware-storcli-007.0409.0000.0000.vib -no-sig-check
