Dear friends,
I've done a RAID5 expansion via IBM raid manager on a Vmware esx 3.0.1 machine and added a new 143Gb disk to the RAID5.
After that I've used esxcfg-rescan, esxcfg-vmhbadevs and fdisk to create a new partition in the empty space.
Now my fdisk -l looks like this (I've also a /dev/sda but that's not important):
Disk /dev/sdb: 586.7 GB, 586764255232 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 71336 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 53502 429754783+ fb Unknown
/dev/sdb2 53503 71336 143251605 fb Unknown
Now, the /dev/sdb1 is what I see in Vmclient as a Storage1 and where I put all my vm.
I need to create a Storage2 using /dev/sdb2 and see it in Vmclient as Storage2 for storing new vm.
Is it possible? How do I do that?
Regards,
Claudio.
