all my ESX host can see the LUNS presented but cannot add them

[thomson_guy]

When I go to add additional storage the Host sees the available LUNS but I can't add them. This same LUN has been added to other Host. attached is a screenshot of what I am seeing.

Have your hosts got the rights to access them?

Zoning will allow you to view them, but Lun masking would control the actual access rights?

Did you add the LUN ad shared storage to the first Host? If so, the second one should see it automatically after rescanning. Maybe you attached the lun as a single host storage?

Hi,

you mena that trying to create datastore in host via VC.

answered by Gerrit is right if already datastore is created in other host then only need to rescan the LUN to this host (cos-rescan.sh vmhba1)

but not need to resacn beacuse u can able to see the LUN's when going to add

go to configuration tab in VC then storage and do one refresh and see.

or please send me one screen shot of that storage option.

As I said, is the VMFS configured to be shared?
