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.

error came up: Now if you go on the Internet a search around you will find several references to this issue. Most if not all of them tell you to: 1. Use fdisk on the /dev/sd[a-z]* device. Create a partition https://communities.vmware.com/thread/301936?tstart=0 with type 0xfb. 2. Format the VMFS datastore using vmkfstools -C vmfs3 vmhbaI:T:L:P In this example, I corresponds to the initiator of the VMware host bus adapter, T corresponds to the target number of the disk, L is the LUN number, and P is the partition number of the newly created partition. 3. Reboot ESX server This is not always required, It may be just a hickup in your ISCSI registration on the ESX servers. Here is how I http://www.squidworks.net/2010/07/error-during-the-configuration-of-the-host-failed-to-update-disk-partition-information/ fixed mine and it worked with out any reboots or major adjustments. Steps to take first before following the CLI instructions: Go create another 5Gb LUN on Power Vault. Set the access group assigned to new LUN to allow ESX servers On ESX Host GUI go back to configuration menu and select Storage Adapters menu Select your ISCSI Software Adapter from Storage Adapter list and select "Rescan" (even if you see your LUN) Go back to the Storage menu and select add storage, select Disk/LUN and follow through the menus to mount and format the 5gb LUN and it should go through now. Remove the 5gb LUN from the ESX Storage menu. Remove the 5gb LUN from Dell Vault. Go back to your ESX and rescan HBAs and make sure the 5gb LUN is gone and you see your original LUN you want to mount. Go back to the Storage menu and select add storage, select Disk/LUN and follow through the menus to mount and format the LUN and it should go through now. If this does not work then change the access to the LUN on the vault to a new access group. Rescan for LUN on ESX then go reset the LUN back to the original access group you want to use and then rescan again from ESX. Try to remount LUN and format. This should now connect and no errors should appear.
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 VMware site which tells how to fix the error message. In http://vikashkumarroy.blogspot.com/2009/09/failed-to-update-disk-partition.html nut shell I did this 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 and will have to refer to the new partition by it's number. 2. Run fdisk /dev/sda. This will allow you to error during 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. 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 error during the 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 choose the "w" option to write the table to disk and exit. 9. Because the drive is being used by the console OS you will probably get an error that says "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: device or resource busy." This is normal. You will need to reboot the ESX host 10. Once you have rebooted you can now for
