Problem when i try to add a disk/lun

Hi guys!

I have a problem with a Esxi 5.0. This server have a principal disk where have installed the operative system. Too it have a three disk at raid 5 format with 557 Gb. When i try to add storage, i can select two options (VMFS-5 or VMFS-3). If i select any, the server give the next error:

"The request failed because the server close the connection. Se esperaba una conexión con el servidor que se ha cerrado. (we hoped a server connetion that was closed)" "Error stack 'host datastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOption' for objetcs ..."

Can you help me?

Thank you very much

PS: really the esxi can`t register a server with more than 32 Gb of RAM memory??

Thank you very much again.

Hi,

Have you formatted and reconfigured your RAID5 partition, maybe the RAID5 has some previous boot information that may be causing it to add to ESXi as datastore.

Try the following link http://www.eversity.nl/blog/2010/08/call-fails-for-hostdatastoresystem-queryvmfsdatastore-createopti...

the above link was also posted in a similar community thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/304500

Hope this information is useful

OK!

Very easy. I entried at BIOS configuration an i inicialized the raid 5 disk volume.

Later i add my storage normally at Vsphere client. Then, all is right now.

Thank you very much.

All needs a moment of light. And very times the best thing is to ask in a forum. It done you don`t think in you think is the problem and open your mind at others problems possibles.
