Hi Guys,
For a fresh installation of ESXi 5.1, The storage team has given a Boot LUN of 10GB from our EMC symmetrix Storage box. When i try installing the ESXi by selecting the 10GB LUN i get this below error.
This program has encountered an error:
(Use the arrows keys to schoo)
Error (see log for more info)
vmkfstools failed with message: create fs deviceName:'/vmfs/devices
/disks/naa.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:8', fsShortName:'vfat',
fsname:'(null)'
'/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.' is not a valid absolute or relative path

/vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhbaA:T:L:P
Error: no such file or directory
One doubt is that the storage team has given the LUN ID as 1. I've heard the Boot LUN has to be either 0. Will that be a problem? And They have already configured multiple paths to the Storage array. Will that cause a problem?
