ESXI 4.1 U2 on BL460c G7, UUID numbers different on datastores

We have a large number of BL460c G6 blades in our vmware infrastructure. I have been asked to add a couple of BL460c G7. The C7000 enclosure has the latest release set 7.1 firmwares, and the blades have a recent SPP applied for the firmwares

 

I installed the HP supplied ISO image for ESXI 4.1 U2 (latest version). I have an issue where the order of the datastores and the UUIDs are different on the G7 hosts. An example is shown below

Has anyone seen this issue on ESXI 4.1 U2 on BL460c G7s? The storage is an IBM V7000

Re: ESXI 4.1 U2 on BL460c G7, UUID numbers different on datastores

You can check the LUN numbers from the vClient and/or vCenter on the Configuration tab, Storage Adaptors menu link.  Click your HBA and compare between the 2 servers in question.

 

Are he Host profiles on the Storage Array configured the same?

 

Are the G6's running the same version? 4.1 U2...

 

There IS a different HBA in the G7 and thus... could be causing some of the confusion.  make sure the firmware on the FlexAdaptor is up to date, there have been issues (major issues) with the initial releases of the HBA firmware.  Current is/was 4.1.402.20, looks like there is a new version as of 9/4/12 (v. 4.1.450.7

 

Make sure you have the most up to date driver too.
