Drive type from HDD to SSD type in VMware esxi6.5

Environment: Hosts in VMware Web client6.5, host IP is 10.1.1.47

Purpose: To configure a Vsan, a block of the three hard drive type created will be converted to SSD type as a buffer.

Step 1: Open the host's SSH to enable Xshell to connect, configuration---security profile, edit

Manually open the ESXi Shell and SSH

Enter your password to log in

Step 2: Change the hard drive type

Locate the target hard drive

Can be found at this time is SSD marked false

Create a SATP rule and set the optional parameter to ENABLE_SSD

ESXCLI Storage nmp SATP rule add--SATP vmw_satp_local--device mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0--option "Enable_local ENABLE_SSD"

Note the corresponding disk number

View the SATP rule that you just created

ESXCLI storage nmp SATP Rule list | grep ENABLE_SSD

Then re-declare the disk

Verify

ESXCLI Storage Core Device list-d mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0

You can see that the changes are successful.

To restore the SSD back to HDD, perform

ESXCLI storage nmp SATP rule remove--SATP vmw_satp_local--device= "mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0" ESXCLI storage core claiming RECL aim-d mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0 ESXCLI Storage Core Device list-d mpx.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0

You can see that the is SSD becomes false
