and RDM issues Umapat77 May 21, 2013 5:22 AM While trying to add a new raw disk to a VM, it is throwing the error "A general system error occurred: Error creating disk Function not implemented". But the same is happening fine when I tried to do through vsphere client. New-HardDisk -VM "myvm1" -DiskType rawPhysical -DeviceName "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6090a03800ff58405ce2b4e13901e00f" Then the system spits out this error: New-HardDisk : 7/20/2011 10:32:02 AM New-HardDisk The operation for the entity VirtualMachine-vm-73 failed with the following message: "A general system error occurred: Error creating disk Function not implemented"At line:1 char:13+ New-HardDisk <<<< -VM "myvm1" -DiskType rawPhysical -DeviceName "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6090a03800ff58405ce2b4e13901e00f"+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-HardDisk], SystemError+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_TaskServiceImpl_CheckServerSideTaskUpdates_Operatio If someone can lead me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. 706Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final.

Re: New-Hardisk and RDM issues Deepikap May 21, 2013 10:24 AM (in response to Umapat77) Hi ,Have you tried giving variables for the input for -VM and -DeviceName i.e$vm= get-vm myvm1$deviceName=($host1 | get-Scsilun | where {$_.CanonicalName -match "naa"})[0].ConsoleDeviceName where the value in the [] depends where your naa id listed when you type the command ($host1 | get-Scsilun | where {$_.CanonicalName -match "naa"})then type the command new-harddisk -vm $vm -DiskType RawPhysical -Devicename $deviceNameHope this information helps you Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 2.

vsphere5Ed Grigson UPDATE Sept 2015 - there is new functionality in the vSphere Web Client (v6.0u1) that allows you to delete all partitions - good info via William Lam's website. Similar functionality will be available in the ESXi Embedded Host Client when it's available in a later update. UPDATE March 2015 - some people are hitting a similar issue when trying to reuse disks previously used by VSAN. The process below may still work but there are a few other things to check, as detailed here by Cormac Hogan. Over the Christmas break I finally got some time to upgrade my home lab. One of my tasks was to build a new shared storage server and it was while installing the base ESXi (v5, build 469512) that I ran into an issue. I was unable to https://communities.vmware.com/thread/446794?start=0&tstart=0 add any of the local disks to my ESXi host as VMFS datastores as I got the error "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" for object ‘ha-datastoresystem' on ESXi…." as shown below; The VI client error when adding a new datastore I'd used this host and the same disks previously as an ESX4 host so I knew hardware incompatibility wasn't an issue. Just in case I tried VMFS3 (instead of VMFS5) with the same result. I've run into a similar issue before with HP DL380G5's where the http://www.vexperienced.co.uk/2012/01/02/error-adding-datastores-to-esxi-resolved-using-partedutil/ workaround is to use the VI client connected directly to the host rather than vCentre. I connected directly to the host but got the same result. At this point I resorted to Google as I had a pretty specific error message. One of the first pages was this helpful blogpost at Eversity.nl (it's always the Dutch isn't it?) which confirmed it was an issue with pre-existing or incompatible information on the hard disks. There are various situations which might lead to pre-existing info on the disk; Vendor array utilities (HP, Dell etc) can create extra partitions or don't finalise the partition creation GPT partitions created by Mac OSX, ZFS, W2k8 r2 x64 etc. Microsoft have a good explanation of GPT. This made a lot of sense as I'd previously been trialling this host (with ZFS pools) as a NexentaStor CE storage server The suggestion on the Eversity.nl site is to use ‘fdisk' from an SSH session to delete the extraneous partitions. I gave that a try but it wouldn't even list the disks, throwing an error about not being able to handle GPT disks; fdisk can't handle GPT partitions There are various useful suggestions in the Eversity comments for dealing with GPT partitions but they are quite long winded. The quickest solution (as suggested by fdisk) was to use partedUtil. You need to run the following command for each disk that you're having issues with (this overwrites the partition table with a stan

Contact us about this article I have deployed two identical ESXi 5.1 hosts (Dell PowerEdge r720xd servers) each possessing 5.46 TB of direct-attached storage. They are both currently registered to our vCenter 5.1 Server and participate in an HA cluster. Their respective datastores are also members of a datastore cluster. Each host is connected to its own datastore, but not to the other host's datastore. This effectively disables most HA/SDRS features, and the host connection status for each datastore is flagged with a warning for the missing connections. We desire VM migrations and load balancing between the two hosts and datastores to be as seamless and transparent as possible. My question is simple: what is the most practical and effective way to establish the connections required to achieve a fully-connected state for both hosts and datastores? 0 0 05/13/13--23:24: New Storage Con
