Issues with LUN creation

[daniel_uk]

Hi,

I am getting the below bizzare error when trying to format a LUN.

Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" for object "datastoreSystem-392446" on vCenter Server "VSVAAKNTAPP825" failed.

I can see the LUN, and i've also formatted other LUN's on this host/SAN, its just this single LUN that refuses to work.

Has anyone had this before? Or is anyone a vCenter programmer!?

Sorted it...I needed to Fdisk the relevant LUN...I guess the storage guys reused a LUN
