snagit 12 failed to initialize datastore

Repeating the previous steps to add the new datastore now works, new store added:Ĭhecking in iLO on the newly added disks, looks good:Īlso, taking a look at fan speeds after 30mins or so, fan speeds all look good! Next, use this command to reset the partition table to msdos type for the new disk array: partedUtil setptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/(disk ID) msdos

This command shows the issue with the partition table on the new disk array: partedUtil getptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/(disk ID)

Here I can see my new disk array as it’s the one closest to 1TB, the size of the new disks: ls -lha /vmfs/devices/disks/ First step was to enable the sshd service to ssh into the server:įirst, use this command to find the disk id of the newly added disk. This post with steps to fix the partition table on the newly added drives. Right now I have 1 Datastore configured in ESXi:Īt this point I ran into the error ‘Failed to create VMFS datastore’:

Here’s my starting point, almost out of space: The previous 2 parts are here, part 1 – adding new drives, and part 2 – configuring a new RAID array.Īfter the previous two steps were complete, the new disks are in, the new RAID array configured, the next step is to add the storage in ESXi to be available to new VMs. This is part 3 of 3 in a series on adding new drives and storage to my HP D元80 G7 server and ESXi.
