Hello,
I'm using ESX 3.0.2, and one VM which is under Windows Server 2003 can't start.
This server is attach to a tape device IBM Total Storage 3581-2U.
I have the following error: Unable to open SCSI device '/vmfs/devices/generic/vmhba1:5:0:0' (scsi0:1):@&!@@(msg.fileio.generic)Generic error. Failed to configure scsi0
I have apply the ESX Server 3.0.2 patch ESX-1003179, anyway there is no change.
And i have an other VM under Windows Server 2003 without any tape device which is works fine.
Please help, it's very urgent. I use this VM for backup.
Regards,
Hi,
Yes, my problem is solved.
What i've done:
I have select my Virtual machine which can't started. Click on "Edit settings" and select "SCSI Device 2" under Hardware Folder.
And choose:
Media IBM for "Connection, the physical SCSI device to connect to" parameter.
and select "SCSI (0:2) SCSI Device 2" for Virtual Device Node parameter, instead of "SCSI (0:1) SCSI Device 1".
Check that you have for "SCSI Device 1", the following settings:
Tape IBM for "Connection, the physical SCSI device to connect to" parameter.
and "SCSI (0:1) SCSI Device 1" for Virtual Device Node parameter.
Hope this help.
Regards,
