The NetApp storage have been created as a thin provisioned and thick provisioned - neither works and gets the same errorĪny ideas would be very useful.
ISCSI connection is green and LUN created and present storage warehouses are considered as available on the ESX Server to create a data store (sizes 1 TB and 2 TB tested times).
During the initial setup of the vSwitches, I forgot the MTU setting Port and interfaces group wouldn't even ping, so all the MTU setting are good.
MTU is set for extended frames (9000) on the interface of NetApp, vNIC for ISCSI vKernel vSwitch and group interface ports.
Interfaces ISCSI connected directly from the fabric of interconnection to the NetApp FAS2552 with TwinAx cables.

Get the following error when attempting to create a new data store after a new installation of ESXi 5.5U2. What can I do to remove this alert? Is this a hardware issue on my LUN that generated this alert? (If Yes, what can I do about it?) If I open "Alarm settings" on the "load external I/O detected on a data store" and choose the tab 'Triggers', the event carries the name according to '', but I do not see what is coursing the alarm. If I open the 'Home' = > 'Inventory' = > 'Warehouses', I have 26 MON, but only 9 in "mode healty", everyone has the following Alerts tab "alarms":ĭefault alarm "Workload external I/O detected on a data store" which triggers if an external I/O workload is detected on a data store.ĭefault alarm 'Use of data on the disk store' to monitor the use of disk data store. I have active DRS and the parameter ' level of automation of Migration: "="fully automated ". I have an ESX environment into a cluster of BL460G6 and 4 VMware ESXi, 4.1.0 installation 348481 in it. If using any of the default vCenter alarms the alarm name as well as the alarm description should identify which resource is being affected."External I/O load detected on a data store" on LUN in vSphere Client version 4.1.0 build 345043 For a give alarm, identify the affected resource in vSphere implementation Also review pages 33 thru 39 of the vSphere Monitoring and Performance documentation.
