Hi all,
We are using MSA 2040 Storage for our 2 ESXi hosts (Version 6.0.0), our switch model is HP Fibre channel switch SN3000B. We have tried almost everything- upgrading the firmware, detaching the device, remapping the LUNs via our SANs and even reinstalling the VMware ESXi hosts. Nothing seems to be wrong with the zoning and masking of our volumes.
In the VMware VSphere Client, under Configuration > Storage > Datastores, we see that both our datastores are inactive and unmounted. When we try to mount the datastores to the host we are faced with the following errors:
Fault Details:
Status: An error occurred during host configuration
Error Stack:
Operation Failed, diagnostic report: sysinfo error on operation returned status: timeout Please see the VMkernel.log for detailed error information.
Additional Fault Details
Host Build: 5050593
Error type: PlatformConfigFault

In VMkernel.logs, we see:
