Hi,
I installed Oracle VM Server 3.4 on HP ProLiant DL380 G5. It has 2 hard disks of 146GB each. Installed VMS 3.4 on one drive and left the other one to use as local storage. However, I don't see the other drive in server->"physical disks". I tried re-scanning but still doesn't show up.
Following is my fdisk info....
[root@ovs01 ~]# fdisk -l

The server was showing only /dev/mapper/OVM_SYS_REPO_PART_3600508b100104a3953553631354f000c (leftover space on first hard disk) which I could use as repository.
Kindly let me know how I could use my other hard disk as local storage. I looked in other threads but did not get the solution.
Thanks
