still having issues with the last host... I will probably just take the disks out and put them in my cradle and do something to them tomorrow.
My disks list as:
t10.ATA_____CT2000MX500SSD1_________________________2023E2A96F5D________
t10.ATA_____CT2000MX500SSD1_________________________2023E2A96F5D________:1
t10.ATA_____CT2000MX500SSD1_________________________2023E2A96F5D________:2
t10.ATA_____CT2000MX500SSD1_________________________2023E2A96FD3________
t10.ATA_____CT2000MX500SSD1_________________________2023E2A96FD3________:1
t10.ATA_____CT2000MX500SSD1_________________________2023E2A96FD3________:2
t10.ATA_____Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_______________S2R5NB0J349578A_____
t10.ATA_____Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_______________S2R5NB0J349578A_____:1
t10.ATA_____Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_______________S2R5NB0J349578A_____:2
guessing its the disk and then the:1 and:2 are partitions.
anything I do with dd says can't open, function not implemented
and partedUtil with the disk name says can't stat it. (also tried addressing the paritions themselves :1 and :2 and the same)
but vdq says they are in use by san, I've rebooted and the same. It would be nice to know how to completely destroy a cluster like this as I expect I am going to be building it quite a few times with vCF as its my first go with vCF and I seriously doubt, ney, actually hope it doesnt work the first time so I get some experience at building clusters with vCF! Thanks again.
