VMWare host SMART error on usb

 

I boot my hosts from a usb drive (The hosts have no local storage)

This process causes this error:

fetch_fixed_disk_status: fetch VSI_NODE_storage_scsifw_devices_smart_healthStatus(t10.SanDisk_Cruzer_Fit______

4C532000061012110161) failed Not supported, reporting unknown status

Clearly I understand that you can’t S.M.A.R.T. status this usb thumb drive, but how to tell esxi 6.5 NOT to try to check it?!??!

I can find many other people asking the same question, but have yet to find an answer…

Ongoing!
