  • 1.  Failed to create VMFS datastore

    Posted May 31, 2023 03:35 PM

    I'm trying to create a storage on my hard drive, but I get this error:

    Failed to create VMFS datastore 3 RAID - Operation failed, diagnostics report: Unable to create Filesystem, please see VMkernel log for more details: Failed to create VMFS on device t10.ATA_____ST1000LM0352D1RK172__________________________________WDES9VH9:1

    I tried this method but it didn't work for me: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Attempting-to-add-a-VMFS-partition-in-ESXi-v8-results-in-quot/m-p/2946652#M285757

     

    I attach kernel logs:

    What could be the problem?

    The problem was in the physical connection. I reconnected the drive and it worked
