VM is unable to recover from suspended state when LUNs

are associated

Description: In the PowerEdge VRTX enclosure, VMs fail to resume from suspended state when

the associated LUNs are inaccessible.

Applies to: ESXi 5.x

Solution:

This is a known issue. To recover:

1. Edit the .vmx file, and set the string scsi0:1.present = "FALSE" to

“TRUE”, where scsi0 is the virtual scsi controller, and 1 is the hard disk drive

number. This can be determined from VI client by selecting the corresponding

hard disk drive.

2. Right-click the VM from VI client and reset the VM.

ESXi does not display dual paths for LUNs created on

PowerEdge VRTX shared storage

Description: When you map LUNs created on PowerEdge VRTX enclosures to an ESXi host that

is already running, the host displays only one LUN path.

Applies to: ESXi 5.1 Update2

Solution: This is a known issue. To resolve this issue, reboot the ESXi host to reflect dual LUN

paths.

NOTE: Failover is not functional if dual LUN paths are not available.
