Claim rules to mask a path

[edutz1014]

I am working through the blueprint and I am having issues masking a path to lun so only one host can see it. Here is what I am doing, but the other two hosts can still see the lun.The lun is on a Dell Equallogic and the path select policy on the other hosts are set to fixed just for my lab.

host 1

esxcli storage core claimrule add -P MASK_PATH -r 300 -t location -A vmhba33 -C 0 -T 5 -L 0

I then run the load command no errors so far. I run the esxcli storage core claimrule list and the new rule is shown. The other two hosts still can see the lun. I have the lun unmounted on the other hosts.

what am I missing? Thanks

Ed

I can't remember for sure, but after you run "esxcli storage core claimrule load" I think you need to run "esxcli storage core claimrule run" - have you tried issuing the run command? That seems to me to be the most likely cause behind the issue you described.

I finally figured it out. it was user error like most things. Thanks everyone for your input.
