Re: tagged SSD device does not show as SSD host configuration storage

Hi,

Here is link to doc, which can help you to tag device as SSD based on your  requirement.

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc_50%2FGUID-99BB81AC-5342-45E5-BF67-8D43647FAD31.html

Here is one example.

1.

esxcli storage nmp device list

From above command decide which device need to be taged.

2.

esxcli storage nmp satp rule add --satp VMW_SATP_LOCAL --device naa.6xxxxxxxx  --option enable_ssd

In my case I am using device  naa.6xxxxxxxx

3. Unclaim the device

esxcli storage core claiming unclaim --type device --device  naa.6xxxxxxxx

4. Reclaim the device

esxcli storage core claimrule load
esxcli storage core claimrule run

Note : Some time you might need to reboot the host to get it working.

Regards
