I'm not terribly familiar with mpi(4), but I see it has code to call scsi_req_probe() if it receives a MPI_EVT_SASCH_REASON_ADDED or MPI_EVT_SASCH_REASON_NO_PERSIST_ADDED event from the adapter controller. However, it appears to only watch for events from Serial Attached SCSI and Fibre Channel controllers, whereas 53c1030 is a Parallel SCSI controller. Are you able to configure VMWare to emulate a different mpi(4) device? E.g., one that uses SAS or FC instead? Do you use the 53c1030 with Linux too?
