Hi all I'm attempting to run OF as a VM under VMware server for the first time, and have run into a few problems regarding disks
I have a 3Ware 9500S with 8 disk in 2 raid 5 arrays of 4 disks each. The host OS (CentOS 5) sees these as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with no problems. I've created an msdos partition table and ext3 partition on sda, and a gpt partition table on sdb, but no partitions. If I assign sda1 and sdb to the VM (direct access), /dev/sda shows up in the Physical storage mgmt page, and clicking on the disk shows that /dev/sda1 exists, but is an unknown partition type, and is unassignable. Furthermore, any other partitions created are unusable. sdb is ok though. I need to have two partitions on sda, one available to the OF VM and one not. I have a feeling that the problems I'm having is to do with the partition table type, but couldn't be sure. Also, even before I assigned the extra disks to the OF VM, the OF OS seems to think that sda-sdo exist, which slows down the boot process considerably - anyone know how t get rid of them? regards Frank _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
