I have an EVA 8400 and I'm trying to configure LUNS for ESX 4.0.
I create & present the vdisk, but when I try to add the storage in ESX, I get the error "Error duing the configuration of the host: Failed to get disk partition information"
I did some googling found an fdisk hack (fdisk <device> ->o ->w ->quit). This works for ESX 3, but not in ESX 4; I get an error when I try to write the parittion. To get around this, I presented the LUN to an ESX 3 host and ran the fdisk commands just fine.
However: I still get the 'failed to get disk partition information' error, but if I click "Back" and then "Next" I get past the error! The next error I get is "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object" I can't get around that - my guess is it's a bug.
Is there a reliable way to do this on the command line?
