Trying to create and RDM pass-through device

Hi All

I am trying to create a RDM pass-through device on an iSCSI SAN device with the following command:-

vmkfstools --createrdmpassthru /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6090a0284070d577d5d504d63cd34a8d -a lsilogic /vmfs/volumes/esx-rdms/w2k8-iscsi-boot.vmdk

I recieve the following error when trying to do so:-

Failed to create virtual disk: Device or resource busy (1048585).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ruairi

Welcome to the community.

Why you are not using the GUI interface? You must be able to add a RDM disk also from there.

Otherwise it means that the disk is already in use.
