Can anyone tell me what this means in ESXi 5.1?:

SATP VMW_SATP_LOCAL does not support device configuration

I've googled it and I get a lot of results, but as yet all the pages that contain the string are discussing other matters.

The storage array is a HDS HUS-VM and the hosts are HP b460c G8 blades with flex fabric and flex fabric VCs which I am in the process of commissioning and would like to get it started on the right foot - i.e. error and warning free!
