Title says it all. Trying to create a large datastore with several individual drives. They all can be seen by ESXi, but when I try to create the large datastore most of the disks can be added, but two cannot. Those disks do not show up in the “Unclaimed disk” section when expanding the datastore (or any other existing datastore) BUT they can be used to create an entirely new datastore, but only with eachother. All of the drives are singular RAID0’s, fast initialized. Please see pictures below for examples. Running ESXi 7u3, Dell T630.
Expand datastore window:
No devices free, despite multiple disks being unused
Device list:
ESXi clearly sees all of the disks and many of these are unused
Drive in datastore:
Unused drive with no VMFS partition:
Are they add just as any other drives to the RAID controller or hot spares as mentioned? Also, are they the same drives as others?
