New VMFS6 Datastore creation fails from the CLI on ESXi Server #348

Open krishnaramaswamy opened 9 months ago

krishnaramaswamy commented 9 months ago

The below command is not working for the new vmfs6 datastore creation. Before creating the new vmfs6. It should display the partition type ( eg. gpt )

partedUtil getptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/eui.01ffb9eaa33a47bbb1ad288e59a8a956 Partiotion Type: unknown 13054 255 63 209715200

Option 2: esxcli storage filesystem add -s VMFS6 -l NewDatastore -p unknown -P 13054 -u UUID -t /vmfs/devices/disks/eui.01ffb9eaa33a47bbb1ad288e59a8a956

Is there anything in the vmkernel.log?

krishnaramaswamy commented 9 months ago

could you please provide the steps to create new VMFS6 datastore on esxi 7.0 u3 server.

krishnaramaswamy commented 9 months ago

esxcli commands or vmkfstools ... anything is fine
