enabling luns for vsphere cluster

I have a vmax/e where are carved out luns and assigned them to storage groups. Each server in the vsphere cluster under storage can see the luns.

however, only one server can see the datastore

is there anything we need to do to enable all servers in the cluster to see the same datastore ?

Dear friend,

seems to be the issue is related to lun id mismatch , hence you are facing this issue. if LUns are visible on all hosts and u create a datastore on one of the esx host then on remaining esx host u just need to rescan the HBAs, after rescanning the hbas and you are not able to see the datastore,  then LUN id mismatch issue will be there. if LUN id mis-match issue is there it means other esx host detecting that LUNs as a snapshot LUns hence they are unable to mount the same.

regards

Mr VMware.

Have you rescanned storage on each of your hosts?
