With esxi 6.5 the sector format size does not change(after I add the disk group to the virtual disk pool) it remains 512n (and the datastore mounts correctly) # esxi 6.7, after I add disk group to virtual disk pool the sector format size is 512e # Before I add the disk group to the virtual disk pool – the sector format size is 512n In vSphere 6.7 (looking at the properties of the storage device) I’ve noticed that the sector format size changes when I add a disk group to the virtual disk pool – changes from 512n to 512e This is the release notes for GL225R003 – the firmware on the MSA 2040 – it supports up to 6.5Ī new release of the firmware came out last week(26th March) GL225-P001- however,again, its release notes only mention support for 6.5 When I downgrade to esxi 6.5 I run the test again (add disk group) and there are no problems – the datastores mount properly on reboot. I did this (on one host) because I read that the GL225R003 does not support esxi 6.7 – It does support esxi 6.5 (Basically vmware/hp have not tested 6.7 and the MSA 2040 and probably never will). The datastores are remounted immediatley after the rescan.Ģ. On the MSA remove the disk group I recently added to the pool and then in vsphere rescan the storage. I add these to the virtual pool as a disk group or a read-cache and after the reboot I notice the datastore problem.ġ.


I have four SSD 200GB 12gb disks – Model MO0200JEFNV. I’m using SAS 900GB 10k 12gb disks (I have six of these in RAID 5) – Model EG0900JFCKB. I’ve tested many times on all the esxi hosts. The hosts reboot normally when I do not alter the virtual pool. Happy Virtualizing! Posted by Stephen Wagner at 8:07 AMĢ1 Responses to “VMware vSphere 6.7 released! Here’s the download link…”
