Failed: Add SDS device to Storage Pool installing on ESX Servers

Please try to continue the deployment.

If this happens again, please ssh to the SVM with primary mdm and run /opt/emc/scaleio/mdm/bin/showevents.py -a

Please check if you see any failures there and paste it here

Is there any partition on the device?

here is the log :"

"

but I don't know where can I modify the RAM Read Cache during the deployment.That would be setting when I add a protection domain to the system ? I remember that I just keep the default 128MB per SDS.

nope, it just be added to the esxi host.

HI,

Here is the log.Thanks for your help!

The Get_Info generates a ZIP file + the other Virgo + Plugin logs can also be Zipped.
Upload the file here as attachments (if size enables it) or to some FTP location where we can access and download them.

Please send us the relevant Virgo + Plugin logs logs/files (per the time of the deployment and failure to add_sds) -> see log paths:

VC 6.0

Windows:

Virgo logs: C:\ProgramData\VMWare\vCenterServer\logs\vsphere-client\logs

Plugin logs and other files: C:\Users\vspherewebclientsvc\AppData\Roaming\VMware\scaleio

Linux:

Virgo logs: /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs

Plugin logs and other files: /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/scaleio

Please send also all the core side logs:

1. From the plugin -> launch the SIO-GW (opens in web browser) -> login to it (user: admin / password: the one you set during the deployment wizard)

2. Go to Maintain view -> fill in the required info -> press retrieve system topology -> press Get Info -> once all logs are retrieved as ZIP send it to us as well.

How could I send these log to you?

You did not attach the correct Virgo logs - they should be named something like this: "vsphere_client_virgo.log"
You attached the access log.

I am sorry!

I can add SDS and SDS device by manual..But can not use the VMware plug-in to finish deploy.

Each ESX host have 8G RAM. There is three ESX host, The two of them have 1TB capacity and the other one is 500GB. Does the capacity configured will influence the deploy?

My mistake, you cannot select an option in vSphere plugin to deploy without RAM cache.

So you need to decrease the capacity of SDS devices to the min. for now until 1.32.1 will be released with the fix.

I will talk to engineering about this missing option in vSphere plugin and see what we can do.

I can not find the option to disable the RAM cache. Does it in adding Protection Domain ?
