I have 2 ESX servers. Both these servers are connected to a HP MSA 1000 (this is our mini san)
On connecting to one of the box from the vi console, I see the server and 3 guest under it.
On creating a new VM, I can connect to a datastore. There is connectivity from this box to the array.
On connecting to the 2nd ESX server via the VI Client, all the guests show as unavailable.
I cannot restart or do anything with these guests.
Also, on trying to add a new VM, I see nothing in the datastore screen. (next becomes disabled)
Is this an issue with conectivity between the ESX server (in whihc the guest are not available) and the HP Array?
What commands can I use to tets connectivity to a datastore from a ESX server and check if datastores are available?
