        Just surprising that it appears as connected via a virtual drive controller. You should see that in the boot log where drives are detected.

            Right but I don't expect it to be via any drive controller like that unless it was added specifically.

              @stephenw10 from esxi side its just standard LSI Logic Parallell (just the default) .- ill check boot when I can boot.

              can it be related its started its life as a 2.4 and has been upgraded thru 2.6 and then to current 23.09.1 ?

                Ah, OK. That would explain it then.

                No I wouldn't expect upgrades to have affected anything here.

                Drive errors like that on both drives has to be something in the hypervisor I would have thought.

                  Hello @mrjoli021 @stephenw10 I just discovered this post.
                  I am actually getting exactly (100%) the same error as posted by @stephenw10 .
                  I am running pfSense 2.7.2 on ESXi 8.

                  Did you manage to find out the root cause?

                  Cheers!
                  Marci

                    @ethanthekiwi said in SCSI error on VM:

                    For me this issue was caused by thin provisioning on the virtual hard drive. I followed VMware's instructions to "inflate" the disk to thick provisioning and I stopped getting these errors.

                    Yeap same solution (https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vsphere/vsphere/8-0/vsphere-storage-8-0/working-with-datastores-in-vsphere-storage-environment/using-datastore-browser-in-vsphere-environment.html#GUID-C371B88F-C407-4A69-8F3B-FA877D6955F8-en) worked for myself as well. :)
