I will explain so that I don't confuse you..
Setup 1
Setup one new disk on the New storage
Setup 2
Present them to ESXI Servers
Setup 3
Collect NNA numbers and VML Numbers
Step 4
Run commands
vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/ vml.02001e00006006016020003900d5d622464672e911565241494420 /vmfs/volumes/LDVVS_BZTL_01/LBZTV01/BZTPA_CQ.vmdk -a lsilogicsas
vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/ vml.02001f0000600601602000390018b863614672e911565241494420 /vmfs/volumes/LDVVS_BZTL_01/LBZTV01/BZTPA_MSDTC.vmdk -a lsilogicsas
Setp 5
Add disks as exiting disks to Primary node /VM via vcentre web console
If possible.. I want to automate step 5 since we have 50+ disks
As you know Psychical compatibility RDM Disks, script should assign ids using SCSI adapter which are already presented to vm.
i hope i'm clear, please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you ever so much..
