ESXi 6.7 Missing Disks and Datastores

[larryjones28146]

I'm replacing 1 of 2 Lenovo servers in a 2-node vCenter 6.7 cluster with a Dell PowerEdge R540.  The physical servers are connected to Lenovo shared storage via 12Gbps SAS adapters.

In the ESXi web client for the Dell host, I selected Storage in Navigator and then clicked on the Device tab.  The list includes the two "Lenovo Serial Attached SCSI Enclosure Svc Dvc" devices, but it doesn't list the two disks (and corresponding datastores) that were created long ago and that are listed when I connect to the Lenovo host.

I've attached screenshots.  Any suggestions for how to get the Dell host to recognized the disks/datastores?

Did you create a host object with the SAS initiator IDs for the Dell host, and present the LUNs to that host?

Thank you for the response.  Once I was able to access the SAS management console, I was able to follow your recommendation and get the system working.
