Hi,
I am setting up the VMware ESXi6U1 on a Oracle X5-2 server with 3x 1.2T disks, the HBA is the mpt3sas, no raid, no SAN and even no guest OS installed so far.
When I check the dmesg, I got these warning messages repeatedly in dmesg.

Any one have any ideas? Is it harmful?
Same problem here.
Any ideas ?
Storage array is sending back to vmware the following sense code:
In decimal it is: response_code=114 sense_buf: 114 5 36 0 0 0 0 0
Which translates in Hex to:
72 05 24 00 00 00 00 00
1st byte = 72 2nd byte = 05 3rd byte = 24 This means: CHECK CONDITION, ILLEGAL REQUEST, INVALID FIELD IN CDB
Make sure you are on latest version of ESXi host. Let me know by tagging me if the issue persists.
Thanks ashishsingh1508
The question was about :
Invalid sense buffer: error=0x72, valid=0x0, segment=0x5, key=0x5
and not about
72 05 24 00 00 00 00 00
My answer is still the same.
If you do not want to upgrade try changing the settings at
/Scsi/SCSIEnableDescToFixedConv
And you should not see the invalid buffer logs
