<div>
Are you using this Replicated LUN and Source LUN at the same time. - if so it would have been better to select Re-Signature the LUN.<br />
<br />
If you re-scan on the other hosts, does it not mount, but appear in the list of LUNs ?<br />
<br />
can you access the SSH remotely or console, we can mount from the console/SSH.
</div>


<div>
When I select re-signature, It creates datastore with snap*.* prefix , but the vm is unable to access to the vmdk file when i power on.<br />
LUN appears in the LUN list on all Esxi hosts. If I try to add the it come up with only format option .<br />
The LUN replicated to DR site.
</div>


<div>
yes, the snap prefix, is to highlight, it's possible a snapshot of a LUN!<br />
<br />
okay, can you access console or remote via SSH ?
</div>


<div>
Yes, I can access via ssh.<br />
I have similar issue as on below link.<br />

My worries is that ,is it going to format the datastore if I mount it via the cli?
</div>


<div>
Thank you Andrew , I will try this.<br />
How do i identify the LUN which I want to mount among few LUN listing?<br />
That is ,when I issue the command below, it is going to list several LUNs?<br />
esxcfg-volume -l
</div>


<div>
if you use the command, it will show the datastore name!<br />
<br />
and it only shows the LUNs not currently mounted.
</div>


<div>
Thank you for your help Andrew. Followed your steps as above &nbsp;and resolved &nbsp;!!

I am trying to mount a replicated datastore to my DR's Esxi cluster and unable to mount on all Esxi hosts.<br />
This is a replicated LUN. It gave me an option whether I want existing signature or new signature.<br />
I selected the existing signature so it mounted on the esxi host instead of on all Esxi hosts.<br />
I need to mount this data store on all Esxi hosts in the cluster.<br />
What is the best way to mount this data store on all Esxi hosts?

Replicated datastore with existing signature

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
