Turns out I just had to rescan hbas and vmfs volumes under storage adapters and not just under storage.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI've created and added a new LUN to our vmware storage group on our SAN. This is the same storage where the other luns and hosts exist. Esx wont see the new LUN. I've refreshed the storage and tried adding but it sees nothing. I've done a esxcfg-mpath -l and it only shows the existing LUNs, not the new one. I read something about esx having problems seeing larger LUN IDs. The Luns that are not giving a problem have a lun id of 26 or lower. The troublesome LUN is is 45. Any ideas?
