Hi everyone,

I am new to esx.

I want to attach a iscsi disk to vm through command line.

 

Here are the steps i am doing

 

i did login using my iscsi HBA and got two LUN's

 

~ # esxcfg-scsidevs -l

Now i want to attach these disks to my guest os.

for the i created partition

 

/sbin/partedUtil getptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.9454450000000000DA494E0658F634BEEEE3CD4F600E8B99
gpt
522 255 63 8388608
1 128 8388508 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

 

then i did

 

vmkfstools -P -h '/vmfs/volumes/vTAFStorage_5106_1'
VMFS-5.54 file system spanning 1 partitions.
File system label (if any): vTAFStorage_5106_1
Mode: public
Capacity 3.8 GB, 3.1 GB available, file block size 1 MB
UUID: 5024b22e-a180d3d6-33df-003048b94818
Partitions spanned (on "lvm"):
         t10.9454450000000000DA494E0658F634BEEEE3CD4F600E8B99:1
Is Native Snapshot Capable: NO

 

 

Now I can see my device in "/vmfs/volumes/".

Now I want to attach this disk to my guest OS without using GUI(either through command line or by editing some config file).

Please Guide me how i can achieve it ?

 

Thanks in advance.
