They generated a new one... the size of them is different. They then pointed the vms that wasn't booting on that iso. In my case it's to boot XenApp servers.

Hello, I have a small problem in one of my clusters. Long story short,  I have some guests that use an iso to boot the OS. For an unkown reason, when those guests are on a specific host in my cluster, the iso isn't mount on the power on process. That said iso is on a datastore shared by the cluster. Also, once the guest are power on, I'm able to manually map the iso from the datastore and boot that vm. Any idea why that host wouldn't map iso's on guest power on process?

[Quote] But how can I disable the access to LUN used for a VM as RDM disk?  [/Quote] Simply remove the RDM from the VM Config (it's showing has a vDisk with "Mapped Raw LUN" in the summary). Then you can remove the access to the lun from the storage unit lun masking, or keep it available for reassignment at a later time. In the 2nd option, make sure no one else assign that volume before the old data can be deleted.

Lun masking is the way to present disks to hosts from the san side. The hosts will see luns (same has scsi devices to make it simple). A lun can be use to create a datastore from the storage option under the configuration tab or do a "raw disk map" from the vm configuration window. Multiple VMs need to have the same RDM set in their config to be able to see the same LUN. Same apply to .vmdk disks. Back to lun masking.... you can use lun masking to assign a lun to a single Host (dedicated disk like the ESX boot partition) or to a group of hosts to share the lun (like a datastore or RDM to a vm with vmotion).

I have the exact same problem. I must also add that I tried with an ATI 5860 and an nVidia 8800GS 512mb. My guess: The cpu doesn't switch in 64 bits mode before it initialize the ram and the PCI device. So at some point you are over 4gigs of ram. I'll test tonight 3gigs of ram + the nvidia card.
