VMWARE ESX Server - Scanning for the new disks
Folks,
New to VMWARE & Linux. We have a VMWARE ESX 3.0 server that hosts number of virtual machines running RH 3.x and 4.x
In one of those virtual machines, I had to create couple of virtual disks. But I was unable to get the system see them without rebooting.
I would like to know if there is anyway to make the system recognize the new virtual disks without rebooting.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sundar.

Re: VMWARE ESX Server - Scanning for the new disks
It sounds like you are talking of mapping a .VMDK file to a running VM, not mapping a SAN disk to the server.
Well, I can't offer a solution, but I have seen this working on Windows 2003 VMs. On the other hand, I currently see that it does not work reliably on ESX V3.0.1 with patch ESX-6921836.
It is not important for me and I don't have time to troubleshout, but maybe this helps you somehow.
