I am trying to add new disk to a 2003 server VM with no luck. The VM already has virtual disks which are working fine, and I need to add a couple more.
I have created the virtual disks on the LUN, when I try and create the partition in Disk Manager I get the following error;
Cannot Install this Hardware
There was a problem installing this hardware: Unknown
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The specified service does not exist as an installed service
The VMtools were 'out of date' on the VM, I have upgraded them but not rebooted yet. Would this fix the problem? If so, how come the existing disks work ok?
Or would I need to use specific drivers as per ?
Host: ESX 3.0.2
Guest: 2003 Ent SP1 (SCSI controller type LSI)
Thanks!
