VCB 1.1 - Lun does not contain any VMFS/LVM signatures.

Hi

 

I am trying to create image snapshots of my VMs which reside on an ESX 3.5 cluster so they can be copied.   The command I am using is: 

 

vcbmounter -h 172.24.16.101 -u root -p vmware -a ipaddr:172.24.16.106 -r d:\mount\cc-test-01 -t fullvm -m san -L 6

 

This produces the error: "'vcbMounter' 1988 error] Error: Failed to open the disk: Cannot access a SAN/iSCSI LUN backing this virtual disk."

 

Using vcbsandbg I find I have the error "Lun does not contain any VMFS/LVM signatures."

 

The infrastructure is VCB 1.1 running on Windows 2003 SP2 + all Windows patches (There is no VirtualCenter on this server - it is installed on a separate VM).  The HBA is a QLogic QLA3212 updated to BIOS 1.54 and updated Windows driver 9.1.7.16 connected to an IBM DS4300 via fibre.  The VMs live on a partition on the IBM DS4300 with host type LNXCLVMWARE.

 

The LUN ids for the ESX servers and VCB proxy are the same LUN 0 as shown on the configuration tab --> Storage for ESX server and for the Windows server, the disk properties.  There is no Windows multipath software installed.

 

Any suggestions?
