This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

[Fix] Author: Hannes Reinecke <h...@suse.de> Date: Thu Aug 24 14:52:43 2017 +0200 scsi: mptsas: Fixup device hotplug for VMWare ESXi VMWare ESXi emulates an mptsas HBA, but exposes all drives as direct-attached SAS drives. This it not how the driver originally envisioned things; SAS drives were supposed to be connected via an expander, and only SATA drives would be direct attached. As such, any hotplug event for direct-attach SAS drives was silently ignored, and the guest failed to detect new drives from within a VMWare ESXi environment. [Test] The patch has been verified based on the Ubuntu kernel v4.4.0-97.120.
