Hi,
we have 2 ESX (3.5) Server in Cluster managed by Virtual Center (2.5). Yesterday I migrated all VMs from one ESX to the other ESX because i want to patch the ESX host with the latested patches from 18th September. I used the ESX Update Manager to patch the ESX Host. We use an SUN StorageTek 2510 iSCSI RAID as shared storage. The ESX Server are connected by cross cable directly to the storage. After patches were installed the ESX server rebooted but after it the iSCSI storage LUN is not present. The storage adapters (QLogic QLA4052C) shows the 1 Target LUN and the available paths to the storage. If i refresh on storage in the VC, i cant see the LUN. On the other ESX (not patched) the LUN is present an the machines are running.
I see in the log
/var/log/vmware/hostd.log

I changed the following options from
EnableResignature=0, DisallowSnapshotLUN=1
to
EnableResignature=0, DisallowSnapshotLUN=0
after this i see the LUN as storage.
Now i have the Problem that the HA agent has an error. I see the following entries in the log files:
/var/log/vmware/hostd.log
Task Created : haTask-ha-host-vim.host.StorageSystem.refresh-131
Task Completed : haTask-ha-host-vim.host.StorageSystem.refresh-131

Thank You
with kind regards
