ESX LUN not remounting under ESXi
Hi There,
I have a mirrored copy of a ESX iSCSI LUN running on Vsphere 4.0 to our DR location,
I am trying to mount the mirrored LUN on a ESX3i server. Every time I go remap it it finds the LUN
ok but doesn't seem to pick up the VMFS datastore within the LUN and when I go add a new datastore
it tries to get me to reformat the whole thing.
First question, is what im doing possible, and secondly if so, what am I doing wrong?
Any help much appreciated.
