Hi,
On our equallogic newly upgraded there is an option to create 4k sectors LUN's
I did so and I presented this to the esxi.
It is detected, but I can't use it as DATASTORE
The reason is simple, no support of 4k sectors by VMWare.
My mistake !
But the lun is seen under devices ...
so I looked at VMware KB: Unmounting a LUN or detaching a datastore/storage device from multiple VMware ESXi 5.x hosts
I wanted to detach it ... I can't
Basically it makes 3 checks
it takes times on "The device does not contain a diagnostic partition" which makes sense, since it can't access it
The status is on, so I wanted to turn it OFF
esxcli storage core device set --state=off -d naa.6090a04890f7de8e65353568970bc0f2
and I can't turn it OFF
I went "forward" and looked at
But
partedUtil delete "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6090a04890f7de8e65353568970bc0f2" 1
gave an error.
Basically: I want to get rid of this lun the cleanest way possible
Help
Regards
