I have confirmed that my drives are in a mirror configuration with dedicated spare.... not Raid 5 configuration. I'll try running an reconfigure and see if that will alleviate the errors however due to compliance issues, can't run in that configuration.
For the record, I tried every release of the driver 116,114,84 and 74 failed. I had to rev back to 60
I tied this back to VMWare Engineering's case with HP which is ongoing 4651641937
