Re: Error during the configuration of the host: Failed to get disk partition information DSTAVERT Feb 7, 2011 7:27 AM (in response to stan12345) You need to make the LUN less than 2TB. 2TB - 512 bytes.

I thought the storage admin did this, as shown by the esxcfg-scsidevs -c command , size of 2047000MBWhy would fdisk report a different size for the same device - 2146.4 GB, 2146435072000 bytes?

Re: Error during the configuration of the host: Failed to get disk partition information DSTAVERT Feb 7, 2011 8:24 AM (in response to stan12345) Just how the size is calculated. The error occured because the LUN was less than the minimum for a datastore. When a LUN is larger than 2TB the 2TB is ignored and the excess beyond 2TB (or multiples) is presented.

ESX host. Some background: 1. Lun was created on FAS3050 filer. 2. Lun were mapped using S/W ISCSI. 3. Lun were visible under storage adapter. When I tried creating datastore I was getting error I found following document on http://vikashkumarroy.blogspot.com/2009/09/failed-to-update-disk-partition.html VMware site which tells how to fix the error message. In nut shell I did this https://www.veeam.com/kb1055 1. Run fdisk -l. This will give you a list of all of your current partitions. This is important because they are numbered. If you are using SCSI you should see that all partitions start with /dev/sda# where # is a number from 1 to whatever. Remember this list of number as you are going to be adding at least one more error during and will have to refer to the new partition by it's number. 2. Run fdisk /dev/sda. This will allow you to create a partition on the the first drive. If you have more than one SCSI drive (usually the case with more than one RAID container) then you will have to type the letter value for the device you wish to create the partition on (sdb, sdc, and so on). 3. You are now in the fdisk program. configuration of the If you get confused type "m" for menu. This will list all of your options. There are a lot of them. You will be ignoring most of them. 4. Type "n". This will create a new partition. It will ask you for the starting cylinder. Unless you have a very good reason hit "enter" for default. The program will now offer you a second option that says ending cylinder. If you press enter you will select the rest of the space. In most cases this is what you want. 5. Once you have selected start and end cylinder you should get a success message. Now you must set the partition type or it's ID. This is option "t" on the menu. 6. Type "t". It will ask you for partition number. This is where that first fdisk is useful. You need to know what the new partition number is. It will be one more than the last number on fdisk. Type this number in. 7. You will now be prompted for the hex code for the partition type. You can also type "L" for a list of codes. The code you want is "fb". So type "fb" in the space. This will return that the partition has been changed to fb (unknown). That is what you want. 8. Now that you have configured everything you want to save it. To do so ch
