Hello,
We are in the initial stages of our VMWare implementation and came across a problem in our Disaster Recovery Simulation. We have two datacentres with a SANS in each using SAN based replciation. We have a VMWare cluster in each site connected to the SANS. We create a VM on a lun that was being replicated and assigned it a RAW LUN which was also being replicated. We shutdown the VM, removed it from the inventory in site A. On the SANS, we reversed the mirror making the LUNS active in site B. We assigned the LUNS to the ESX hosts in site B. A sacn on the fibre cards showed the LUNS. When we created the storage on the ESX host in site B, it formatted the LUN.
The ESX host detected the LUN had a vmfs file system on it but it still formatted the LUN. How do we stop the ESX host in site B from formatting the LUNS?
