Evening all,
Not sure if anyone seen's this issue but....Trying to add some additional RDM's to a two node Active/Passive Windows W2K3 Cluster spread across two ESX 3.02 hosts, each using local storage for VM's except for the RDM's. Once the RDM is added to the first VM, it is no longer able to be added from the second. LUN's are properly visible to both hosts, Clariion FC attached storage, two Qlogic 2432 HBA's in each. For example, there are 7 LUN's visible to both hosts; after adding the first RDM, the second VM then only sees six. If there's a different way to have the Windows cluster nodes see the same volume, then please advise, as I have found no documentation other than the initial VM Clustering stuff, which deals with initial setup only.
For troubleshooting, tried shutting down the second VM and adding, no luck. Adding the RDM with the usual physical compatibility mode for MSCS shared volumes. This is all without going any further than the initial VM configuration, so no logging into the first Windows node to configure disks, etc had taken place. Thanks much for any ideas.
