Hi Team
I have enabled SIOC on a datastore and placed a VM on it.
On the existing VM HDD nor when I add a new HDD, I do not see options for disk shares.
snippets attached.
Any suggestion here
Thanks
I think its not related with SIOC , did you check disable SIOC and disk share option
I have another datastore wherein SIOC is disable and there too the disk share option is not visible
what account you are using to login to vCenter, try with administrator@vsphere.local , I can see it in my setup in vCenter 7 and esxi 7, without having storage I/O control enabled
also enable Storage DRS I/O metrics , in Storage I/O control
thank you for replying!
On version 7, I too see the disk share option however I do not see it on version 8
on the datastore, all the options for SIOC are enabled. I even created a datastore cluster and then to I could not see the option.
As per this document vSphere 8 too have disk shares option
Try different browser for vSphere client , try different VMs too, just in case.
hmm
tried a different browser and multiple vms but nothing
if possible, do you have a vSphere 8 environment to verify the same?
nope . I dont have any...
From the screenshots, it looks like you are using local storage!?
From https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc/GUID-37CC0E44-7BC7-479C...
"Storage I/O Control is supported on Fibre Channel-connected, iSCSI-connected, and NFS-connected storage. Raw Device Mapping (RDM) is not supported. "

I have another environment wherein the disks are backed by openfiler as external storage
I enabled SIOC and then too I do not see disk shares
When I login to ESXi 8 via UI directly then I can see the options
but not from the vCenter
When I try to provision VM on vSphere 7 then it shows disk shares options
but for some reason vCenter 8 is not showing it
@a_p_ do you have a lab to verify the same?
