Im trying to create a virtual disk using the CLI on ESX4i. The script is :

vmkfstools.pl --server 10.190.2.51 -c 20g -d eagerzeroedthick -a lsilogic /vmfs/volumes/Internal/test.vmdk

When the script runs I get the error : Unable to create virtual disk : fault.RestrictedVersion.summary

Can someone tell me why please. Im trying to create a 20g disk with a lsilogic adapter with eagerzeroedthick on my storage called Internal, (no subdirectory).

The files system is VMFS 3.33 Maximum File Size is 256GB. The block size is 1MB. If its the block size thats the problem how can I easily change it ?

This is in a lab not a production enviroment. I need the eagerzeroedthick flag as Im trying to create a MSCS 2 node active passive cluster on one physical node with 2 VM machines.

Thanks.

Mike.
