An error occurred while adding the local disk in ESXI5.5, and an error occurred in esxi5.5.

On esxi5 (Version 5.0), a gb Western Digital enterprise hard drive was added. It was previously used in Win2008.

When adding storage, an error is reported:

Esxi calls "HostDatastoreSystem. QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" of the object "ha-datastoresystem" on x"

Go to configuration> Security configuration file to enable the ssh service.

Result The fdisk-l command is unavailable. The following message is displayed:

~ # Fdisk-l
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT

Use the partedUtil command.

~ # Ls/vmfs/devices/disks or ~ # Ls/dev/disks

You can see the WDC--WD500 ***, This is the newly added disk, followed by the number 1-6 is the number of partitions.

Google did not find the partition to be formatted or deleted.

We plan to use partedUtil delete/dev/disks/t10.ATA _____ WDC_WD5003ABYX2D01WERA0 _ *. This is to delete the partition. The Partition Number is missing after the command, so it fails.

 

PartedUtil-h for help.

Create New Label (all existing data will be lost): mklabel <diskName> <label>

With this option, all data will be lost.

~ # PartedUtil mklabel/dev/disks/t10.ATA _____ wdc_wd5003abyx2d01wera0_________________________wd2dwmayp0181073 msdos

Putty can be used for copying. If the disk name is so long, it is easy to make a mistake.

After this command is executed, there is no output, but with ls, there is no partition under the disk.

 

Adding a disk to the VMware vSphere Client is successful.

In ssh, the new hard drive has one partition.

T10.ATA _____ wdc_wd5003abyx2d01wera0_________________________ wd2dwmayp0181073
T10.ATA _____ wdc_wd5003abyx2d01wera0_________________________ wd2dwmayp0181073: 1

 

Create a new disk for the VM, manually specify the disk storage, and select the Newly Added Disk.
