Hi there,
I'm totally new to VMware and was hoping someone can help with a problem I'm having.
I've got ESX3.0 installed on an IBM diskless blade. ESX OS is running off a 3PAR SAN. Everything is up and running and working great. I have created a second LUN on the SAN and added it as storage to the ESX server. I have successfully built a Windows 2003 VC on the server with a 10GB boot partition.
What I am trying to do now is add a data partition on the VC that connects directly to the SAN so that once the VC is in production, I can increase the size of the data drive without having to shut it down. My understanding is that this is achievable by creating a raw disk mapping to the SAN. Is that correct or have I completely misunderstood the concept of RDMs?
When I go to add a HDD using RDM, the only target LUN that it displays is the one that the ESX server is built on (see below). Question is how do I add additional LUNS to this list?
Thanks in advance for any help.
