Hi Everyone,
Current Setup:
Clariion SAN
ESX 3.5 Cluster
ESX 3.0.2 Update 1 Cluster
I have an existing LUN which currently has VM's installed and running on that LUN. Basically, I want another ESX server to get access to this LUN. I feel like a moron and it seems like this process should be straightforward.
I have added a new ESX Server (3.0.2) to the appropriate storage group so that it can gain shared access to the LUN with other ESX servers. On the new server, I went into the Storage Adapters and performed a "Rescan" which now shows the new LUN in the list of LUNs.
The next step is tripping me up, I feel like I should be going into Storage and clicking "Add Storage" however the "Warning: The current disk layout will be destroyed. All file systems and data will be lost permanently" message which is making me nervous.
How do I go about adding an existing VMFS LUN to a new ESX server? Also, just an additional piece of info, the LUN I am adding, was created with an ESX 3.5 server.
Thanks in advance,
Sean
