"ghost" SSD device in scaleIO 1.32 ESXi6.0
Hi,,
i've just tryed scale IO in ou lab to evaluate the product. The installation process worked well i first configured a Storage pool base on vmdk on my first SAS disk on each esxi and it works well.
Next i tryed to add new SAS devices in a new storage pool in RDM mode and it works well.
Then i tryed to create a performance pool with SSD devices in RDM mode and i got an error adding them.
Since this error, SSD devices on each ESXi host have the following name "ScaleIO-xxxxx " and seems to be "attached" to each SDS but those disks did not appeared in the scaleIO device list on the ESXi pluggin or in ScaleI/O backend application for windows.
Did someone know how to remove these disk from scale IO system?
thank for your help

Hi,
I finaly find how to recover SSD disk,
- first we identifyed the path by connecting ssh to the MDM with "fdisk -l", in my case it was "/dev/sdc"
- then we identifyed the name with the VCENTER (ScaleIO-39fb4ec9 in my case)
then i added manualy the disk again in a storage pool using the GUI and it worked!
For one disk who had a partition on it i had to delete first the partition using fdisk /dev/sdc before be able to add it.
I hope it will help.
