How to add device to SDS? Error 'Couldn't find SDS device'

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy ScaleIO system.

I have 3 machines with CentOS 7 and Windows server 2012 which serves as gateway.

I was doing everything by 'ScaleIO Quick Start Guide' and now I'm on the phase where we need to add devices to SDSs using command:

scli --add_sds_device --sds_ip --storage_pool_name default --device_path


However, when I try to issue this command, I get error:


Error: MDM failed command.  Status:Couldn't find SDS device.


What does this mean? Where did I make something wrong?

What did you use for device_path?

On the SDS host, run fdisk -l and use the path found in it.  Make sure you use the FULL path that starts with /dev/.....  You can also try from the GUI.

This would be a good time NOT to use default name.  It's a good practice to use something like pool_shares or pool_users for pool name.  Same thing for volume names.
