Disable PDL & APD function

ESX : 5.1

Vsphere : 5.1

Target : When I lose a disk, VM need to still working normally

Hello,

my question is really simple, how to disable the actions link to PDL and APD condition ? I explain, I work with 2 server Room, each have a storage SAN. I present one disk of each storage and I use a software for make the replication (veritas stroage fundation).

So I have :

My VM  with software replication

     => Disk 1 from room 01

     => Disk 2 from room 02

When I lost 1 disk, I have a message about device permanent loosing and my VM stop to work (like in pause). My target is to do nothing, when I loos a disk, i just want to continue working. My software replication manage the disk lossing.

I have try many parameter, but nothing work ... I just want to have the same result that in ESX 4.1. When I lose a disk, the VM still continue working like nothing.

I cannot change the design of the solution, and I read many information about this without success... please help me :smileysilly:

I don't want nothing in place of that :smileygrin:

No solution ?

In other case, it's possible (or scriptable) to auto-detach the RDM on PDL ?
