Because of block size considerations (ESX Block Size 8MB on vmfs3 volumes larger than 1TB) we want to delete this vdisk, but i get an Operation Failed! with Status Code: 54.
When i try to remove the vdisk as member of my DR Group first, i get the same Error but with Status Code: 51.
Why can't we delete this vdisk ?
Thanks in advance !
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Operation Failed! when deleting a Virtual Disk in EVA4100
But we even have to delete the vdisk, too. It should be only for some testing. But now we can't get rid of it :-(.

Re: Operation Failed! when deleting a Virtual Disk in EVA4100
54 means "Vdisk is a DR group member" - which we already know ;-)
51 means "Storage system connection down" - so there seems to be a connectivity problem. Does the CV-EVA server have access to both EVAs and are they BOTH under management ownership of this server (the icon in the left pane must not be grey)?

Re: Operation Failed! when deleting a Virtual Disk in EVA4100
I already restarted the CV Service and even rebooted the Server. Still getting Status Code: 51 when trying to delete member of DR Group.
All connections seems to be good and i have no idea.....

Re: Operation Failed! when deleting a Virtual Disk in EVA4100
we could solve the problem by following the steps posted in this thread: http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1272436450452+28353475&threadId=1239919
A User posted the following from a HP Supporter:
I had this problem with our two EVA5000.
After talking to a HP guy, he recommended the following procedure to me:
- Change the preferred Path in the VDisk presentation setting to the other controller.
- Now change the setting back to the original controller and try again to remove the vdisk member.
it worked well in my case. I don't know about the reason, but they told me that failing the lun over to the other EVA controller will reinitiate the Continuous Access Data Replication Tunnel.
To me it's a very strange thing and i wonder why this is not listed in any knowledge Bases of HP.
Thank you anyway for your Support, Uwe !

Re: Operation Failed! when deleting a Virtual Disk in EVA4100
If you want to delete a vdisk that is the only member of a DR_group, you must delete that DR_group first.

Re: Operation Failed! when deleting a Virtual Disk in EVA4100
Uwe, can you give me advice with ESX, too ?
My problem is, that i have to build a new large volume for our Fileserver, but i don't want to waste so much storage when using small files (Block Size 8 MB !!).
Does it make sense to build smaller Volumes and use several extends ? Or are there performance clues ?
By your Name i guess you are german, too ?
