Speaking as an HPE employee, I've never been more frustrated (and embarassed) about an issue. I first caught wind of this about a year ago. And as of now, I don't believe the issues are completely resolved. There were multiple problems that existed between the HBA driver and VMware. The last I heard (early December), the multiple engineering teams working on this were making "great progress" but there was still this little thing we do called regression testing once they were confident that all the fixes were in. Regression testing is a long (more than a month) process we go through to try to break code. From there it gets pushed out via software download sites and into manufacturing. So hopefully, we're really close.
I've asked for an update from product management - hopefully I'll hear something this coming week and I'll communicate what I can.
