Problem with New Celerra VSA (5.6.48.701)
I have installed the VSA according to the walkthrough and have the VSA setup and working
I then proceeded to add storage adding 16 vdk's each 150GB in size
When trying to create a new file system The process is failing and the Server_2 Datamover keeps on rebooting
How do I go about starting to troubleshoot this?
No Events found!

Maish - do me a favor and try backing down the size of the additional VMDKs (make them 100GB or less). Let me know the results.

Thanks for the suggestion Chad.
Let me update you on what has happened.
I have since then rebuilt the VSA
Disks changed 146GB to 250GB
I still see the issues of the the datamover rebooting.
I have found a way around it though. If I create smaller File systems (i.e. 10-20gb) in the VSA and then extend them, there is almost no problem. same for iSCSI Luns as well.
True, every now and again, the datamover does reset, depends on the intensitiy of the action performed.
So far so good.
1 VSA on a standalone ESXi - with 2x 1.5TB SATA disks.
All space allocated to the VSA

I added 100GB just today, and after a reboot, I get a "Recover Slot 3 Failed".
There's no data mover on Slot 3, so maybe I should ignore it, but it keeps flashing at me.

Thanks Scott.
If it helps, I noticed that it only happens after I add another VMDK.
