Hello all,
In my home lab, on a TrueNAS Core 13.0-U6.4 installation as a vm in esxi 8 with an LSI 9300-16i in passthrough setting, the vm crashes each time there is any operation on the disks (wipe, pool creation, etc.). The error below is captured in the console log:
truenas Unable to find firmware file with prefix ‘mpr_SAS9300-16i’
On the exact same hardware but with TrueNAS installed on bare metal everything works as it should and there is no error in the logs.
The HBA is flashed with what I believe is the latest available fw:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I would really like to use TrueNAS as a vm.
Thanks
