Create additional VMFS

[Funtoosh]

I have DL380 with two 129GB drive. Now my requirment is to create additional VMFS volume by adding another 6 X 129 GB of drive. The issue is I can not turn off ESX host .

I tried installing and tried using ACU but for some reason it did not work

Is there any other way I can configure additional volume without rebooting

Have a look at:

Remember to do a storage adapter / rescan.

Then check with fdisk -l if you see the new disk.

You cant go off the ESX? the storage is a LUN or local Storage?

No I can not reboot the host. If I can then job would had been easy. After little struggle I was able to install ACU and create new array as show in the pic.

But my fdisk -l does not show the drives?

Any help ?
