Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I am trying to use the local stroage for configuring my virtual environment on vm server 3.1.1

On my VM Manager, i have discovered the VM server and its state is running. But in the Physical disks section i can not find any disk that is attached to the VM server host.

Multipath shows both the disks on the VM server host.

===== paths list =====
uuid hcil dev dev_t pri dm_st chk_st vend/prod/rev dev_st
1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 -1 undef ready ATA,ST95005620AS running
0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 -1 undef ready ATA,ST3160815AS running

$ fidsk -l

Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 392 3148708+ 83 Linux

I am sure there is no partition or file system on this disk yet and i have not even formatted it. This is a seperate hard disk.

Please help me figure out the issue with this.

thanks

I see the disk is listed in df command as well.. is that an issue?
