Hey all,
I'm glad to join these forms and hope I don't get shot down for not having a VM cert (I'm trying hard to find out where and how to get it)
I have recently graduated with a Network Managing diploma, and am on the fast track into my new career. Now I'll try to fill in as much so things are as clear as possible
ESXi 1 - Dell G6, running 5.1.0, 1065491
Storage Adapter - Smart Array P410i
vmhba0
Details - HP Serial Attached SCSI Disk, ID (naa.############...), Runtime Name: vmhba1:c0:T0:L0, Mounted Disk Non-SSD, Block Adapter, 1TB)
ESXi 2 - Dell G7 running 5.1.0, 1065491
Storage Adapter - Smart Array P410i
Details- HP Serial Attached SCSI Disk, ID (naa.############...), Runtime Name: vmhba1:c0:T0:L1, Mounted Disk Non-SSD, Block Adapter, 1TB)
vCenter - Win Server 2008 r2 (working on getting the powershell features to work with CodePLex packages)
Has Both ESXi hosts in a single Datacenter, with a single Cluster... in this cluster is one SAN that both hosts can access no problem
When I click on Cluster 1 -> Summary -> Storage (Shows ESXi 1 local storage and SAN storage) NO ESXi 2 local storage.
When I click on ESXi 1 host in vCenter and then click on either Summary, or Configuration(Storage)... it will show the SAN and the hosts local storage
When I click on ESXi 2 host in vCenter and then click on either Summary, or Configuration(Storage)... it will show the SAN and NOT the hosts local storage
Question how can I view and manage ESX 2 local storage via vCenter?
Right now I have to manually log into ESX 2 via vSphere thickclient and see its local datastore.
I was talkin to a couple people on #vmware in IRC, but can't seem to figure out why... is something mmiss configured? I figured to do this would have been a no brainer... I tryed "scan for new datastores" on the ESX 2 within vCenter, no dice.
HELP
