fibre-channelvmware-esxivmware-vsphere

I want to config pass-through for FC in VMware ESXi 5.5 (FC HBA: ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA) follow the link https://tinkertry.com/usb3passthru. But when I turn on the virtual machine, I receive error:

Failed to start the virtual machine.
Failed to register the device pciPassthru0 for 10:0.1 due to unavailable hardware or software support

Do you know where the error come from?

My problem actually come from version of Vmware ESXi. After reinstall ESXi 5.5 U3, this error has gone.

You need to restart the vmware management services. Luckily, this is easy (since you have SSH access) and non-impactful to the virtual machines.

In a nutshell, SSH to the esx frame as root and then run one of the two following commands (depending on if it is esx/i):

For ESX:

service mgmt-vmware restart

For ESXi:

/sbin/services.sh restart

Don't just copy the machine. Use the VMware Converter Standalone to convert it. Besides that, I had a similar problem when using the Converter - after converting the virtual disk adapter changed from IDE to SCSI in a WinXP machine, so I had to do a repair installation with injected VMware SCSI drivers. You should also have a look at the VMware Knowledgebase.
